Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 19??-1918, 1916-05-28

Geld Beach, Ore, May i9,--Coni-
pleting hair-raising voyage down
Rogue river from Grants Pass in \
homemade catamaran, after shooting
rushing waters, threading narrow
canyons and rapids. dodging rocks
and whirlpools where the current ran
white, Captain John Aubery and his
crew of four arrived here, at noon
today
The object OF the trip was TO de-
liver a stamp mill, Weighing three
and one-half tons. to the Blossom
Bar mine, three miles below Mule
creek. The heavy stamp mill steadied
the vessel in rough water. but added
to the difficulties of steering.
The crew was made up OF volun-
teers who desired to get to the mouth
Of Rogue river and were willing to
save the time and expense incident
to the conventional trip overland.
They were not concerned with the
dangers involved. Besides the cap
tain, they included ]. G. Van Horn.
Frank Stone. Commodore Fleming
and c, C. Pointing, and they took
Van Horns dog along.
Gondola Model Used
The craft was modelled along the
lines OF double Venetian gondola.
but of more ample proportions, with
a length OF SO feet and 9A feet
beam. Captain Aubery, who has had
years OF experience in navigating
the Rogue, declares the boat was the
largest that ever descended the river.
The expedition was succession OF
thrills and narrow escapes. The
party left Grants Pass Saturday. May
Is. and all day Sunday was spent
getting the boat over Rogue River
falls. At Almeda it was necessary
to weigh down the boat before it
could be gotten under the bridge.
The country is sparsely settled, but
news Of the expedition was tele-
phoned ahead, and at every accessible
point along the river bank the ad-
venturers were cheered by the set
tiers.
At night the party camped out on
the bank, managing usually to catch
trout for supper and breakfast. The
dog fell overheard in one Of the num-
erous rapids and swan with the
current until rescued in still water
a mile below.
.White Water" Traversed
The most exciting incident occur
red last Wednesday morning.. when
the voyagers shot through Mule
Creek canyon. The canyon is three

miles long. and a mile and one-half
OF this Is white" water where the
fgreat waves raised by the currents
are torn into spray and whlrlpools
by rocks juttlng up from the bottom.
The walls impinge so narrowly In
places that there was not room
enough to put out the oars on both
sides OF the boat.
The party reached the head OF the
canyon Thursday afternoon and do
cided to wait until morning, Settlers
warned them they would never get
through alive, and came from miles
around to witness the exploit.
Captain Aubery navigated the boat
from HIS position in the bow. and
each OF the crew manned an oar,
Entering the canyon. the roar OF the
waters sounded like thunder. II was
the captains job to watch far enough
ahead so rs TO note the position Of
the rocks In time to clear them. Tho
craft was tossed about like a chip.
Rock Is Hit
When more than half way through
the boat crashed against rock
directly in the middle OF the current.
A stanchion was wrenched loose, the
blow checking the progress OF the
vessel until she shipped wave, The
captain ordered out two oars to
steady her and they snapped like
matches.
BY using other oars as paddles the
crew Strengthened up the vessel In
time to miss the next boulder. and
she then rode through In safety. The
three miles OF canyon were traversed
in very few moments.
Reaching stiIl water. the crew rest
ed and received the plandits OF the
crowds. The stamp mill was deliver
ed at the mine. short distance be-
low, and the boat then came on to
Gold Beach.
Captain Aubery. Fleming and
Stone will pass the season here fish
ing for the wedderburn cannery. Van
Horn and Pointing are bound for their
near Port Oxford.

Daily Stock Letter.

NEW YORK, June 2.-The New
York Evening Sun review today SAID:
The report of the British naVsi re.
verse in the North sea precipitated
vigorous selling movement in the later
trading on the stock exchange today,
which caused recessions in the gen
eral list of from to points from
the high levels Of the day. Mercantile
Marine preferred sold below 80. Unit
ed States Steel reacted two points to
S3& Reading was forced below par:
illys-Overland, which advanced ~
points earlier, reacted four points and
similar declines were noted In other
issues.
Every effort was exerted to support
the market and recoveries not fully
sustained in every instance, followed.
Anglo-French and Canadian fives also
declined fractionally. Wheat broke
two cents or more per bushel ana
sharp recessions of from five to elev-
en- points in cotton were recorded.
Trading specialties, largely of pro-
fessional origin characterized in Sc
curities early today. Much OF the list
lessness which has been the feature
of recent sessions gave way to a
greater activity on the part OF the
traders who gave most of their atten-
ton to the war stocks and to several
of the rails in succession. The result
was more or less spectacular advance
in both the rails and industrial de-
partment which had little or no con-
nection with the news.

SOMERS rs IN DRY
DOCK AT KEOKUK
Torpedo Boat to be Brought Here
Tomorrow for Repairs and
Masts.

Quincy Herald: The torpedo boat
Somers, with Lieutenant w. A John
son and about a dozen members of
the local naval reserve division in
charge, will leave at daylight Friday
morning for Keokuk, where the
Somers will go into the government
dry dock for general overhauling.
1t was originally planned to have the
Somers go into the dry dock next
Monday, but Lieutenant Johnson has
received notice that the boat can be
admitted to the dry dock several
days sooner than was expected, so
the Somers will go up Friday instead.
The most important change will
be the installation of a complete
wireless outfit. In addition, the
Somers will get two new masts, the
engines will be overhauled and adj
justed, the bottom will be scraped,
and the entire ship repainted and
redecorated inside and outside.
When the Somers leaves the dry
deck it will be capable of a maxi
mum speed, Lieutenant johnson says,
of not less than "a miles an hour.
All repairs and improvements to be
made at this time will cost the gov
eminent between LOO and $1,000.

RIGHT TO SHIP IN

The right of outside brewing com.

MED in written arguments filed yes

appeals in Chicago by G. A. Robbins,

Robbins declares that only permit
holders in Iowa can ship in liquor 9th

The United States district court at
Chicago on petition from the Hamm

Island from refusing to accept liquor
shipments into Iowa when consigned

TRI-STATE TENNIS
MEET AT BURLINGTON
keokuk Players Will Probably be En-
tered in Events-Dates of Tour
nament are August to IL.

Local tennis players have been
notified that the annual Tri-State
tennis tournament will be held In Bur
lington on August to 12. Last year
a number of local cracks entered the
tournament and made excellent rec
ords against many we'll known play
ers from Iowa, Missouri and Illinois.
Undoubtedly the tournament will at
tract Keokuk players this year again.
The games will be played on the
courts at the Golf club on Sunnyslde
instead of on the Harrison avenue
courts. The courts at the Golf CLUB
will be in perfect condition and al
though there are not so many as on
Harrison avenue, it is believed that
the change is wise one, as there is
no club house at the latter place
while the Golf club has an up-to-date
home which affords the contestants
place in which to have shower
baths and make a change of clothing
Besides these practical details the
club on Sunnyside Is excellent for the
various social affairs such as lunches,
dinners and dances, which will be
given as part of the tournament for
the entertainment of the visitors.
Crack players from Iowa, Missouri
and Illinois will be entered. including
the winners of last years matches.

home in Iowa City. The informal par
ty was given at the home of Misses

Fifth street. Much regret is ex-
pressed that Miss Nutting will not re-
turn to- Keokuk, having been elected
girls secretary of the Erie, Pa, Y. w.
G. A. at much larger salary than
the local association is able to pay.
The best wishes of many friends will
follow her.
