CAPTAIN IS FIRED AND
REHIRED AT SALARY INCREASE

Newport, Or, Dec. 3l.-To be dis.
charged and rehired at an increase Of
$2j a month in one day was the expert.
ence Of Captain A. Erikson, master of
the tugboat L. Roscoe, owned by Porter
Bros, Portland contractors, following a
number Of mishaps in which the Roscoe
figured heroically.
Captain Johansen, master Of the bark
Sausaleto, now at Florence, arrived in
Newport to relieve Captain Erkson Of
command Of the Roscoe. The entire
crew Of the Roscoe quit in sympathy
with Erikson, who had saved the barge
Frederick recently, after it had drifted
on a ietty in wild sea. Captain Jo.
hansen visited the lifesaving station,
and heard about the bar conditions, and
then talked to various Newport citi.
zens, and decided that he had not the
nerve TO take command of the Roscoe.
Erikson then received a telegram
ordering him to resume command Of
the Roscoe. This he refused to do with.
out an increase in salary, which was
granted.
