Some Interestittc Reminiscences of Early

"An article replete with interest
ing data appeared in Sunday's
Oregonian under the caption,
"Early Navigation on the Wil
lamette." It recounts the his
tory of steamboating on Sam
Simpson's "lovely river" from
the time the diminutive "Hoos
ier," built at Salem in 1851,
first plied its waters, until the
present day.
The year 1851 witnessed the
advent of three other boats, the
Washington, Multnomah and
Canemah. The first of these was
a side-wheel 'steamer, purchased
in San Francisco and brought to
the Upper Willamette, where, at
Canemah, one lovely June morn
ing, she was launched, to run on
the Yamhill route for a short sea
son. At the close of the season
she was taken below the falls and
operated there. Two years later
she was restored to the upper

Readers of the Gazette will re-
member our item of - a few issues
back, concerning tho romantic mar
riage of Chas. Green, of Lebanon,
Oresron, and Mrs. Ruth Maxham,
of Hartford, Conn., which was soon
to be solemnized. Mrs. Maxham
arrived in Albany, November 6th,
and she was 'cined in that city the
same evening by Mr. Green. They
were married at tho Revere house
by Dr. M. C. Wire.
Geo. A. Houck, of Monroe, writ
ing to the Pacific Homestead gives
the following recipe for the de
struction of evei green blackberries:
"I once had an overrun patch that
was entirely beyond control. I
fenced it out into pasture, and the
goats did the rest, so I recommend
coats to the inquirer. They won't
kill them in one year nor possibly
the second, but if the dose is re
peated they will finally come out
an top."
recorded reason, she was dis
patched to the Umpqua, and the
Willamette knew her no more.
The Multnomah was built in
the East and brought out to Ore
gon in sections. She was put to
gether at Canemah and launched
in Tune, the same month and
year as the Washington. She
was not beautiful at least, her
portrait does not - convey the idea
of grace but she possessed both
power and speed, and was en
thusiastically welcomed by the
inhabitants of Corvallis and its
outlving districts, for she was
the first boat to ascend to that
point, Albany having previously
been considered the head of navi
gation on the river. However,
her passenger accommodations so
far exceeded her capacity as a
freight carrier that it was not
found profitable to operate her
upon the Corvallis route, and so,
at the end of the year, she was
transferred to Portland and ran
for 12 years upon the lower Wil
lamette and Columbia. The
Canemah, a somewhat larger and
slower craft of local construction,
took the place of the Multnomah
in the traffic of the upper river.
The Shoalwater, which navi
gated the Willamette for seven
years, changed her name four
times. Her life was one long
chapter of accidents and she
ended her career as a floating
sawmill.
The Walamette, another steam
boat of tha same date, was con
sidered the most magnificent boat
on the inland waters of the North
west. She was not for some rea
son a success on the upper river
from the hills be
lt was the craft' s
dying protest against her untime
ly fate a fate which was shared
by he captain and one of her
crew. In the steamer's safe was
money to the amount of $2,000.
The safe with its contents to this
day, for aught man knoweth to
the contrary, reposes on the bed
of the Willamette. Some old
streamboatmen, 35-years after the
disaster, left Portland to en
deayor to get the safe and its
precious contents. There seemed
little to contend against except
the accumulation of silt and
debris beneath which the safe
lies buried, for the change in the
face of the fall has left the basin
dead water, without current or
cataract. The treasure-hunters
took a full and complete outfit to
aid them in their work, but their
attempts proved futile.
In 186o, according to the rec
ords, a genius at Corvallis con
cluded that steamboats were too
expensive to operate, so he rigged
a craft with tread mill machinery
and cattle and horses for motive
power. Coming down the river
on her first trip, the vessel ran or
rather walked ashore, at McGoo
gian's Slough, where she stayed
till the motive power had de
voured all the oats and hay on
board. Then the skipper, unde
niably a man of original ideas,
was forced to sell his oxen and
give up that method of transportation.
Thanksgiving Service.
The ministers of this city held a
meeting last week in the study of
Rev. Mark Noble and arranged for
the Thanksgiving service. At this
meeting it was found that it was
now the turn of the Congregational
church to have this honor and the
hour for the service was set at 10:30
a. m. The pastor whose turn it was
to deliver the sermon should be
the Christian minister, consequent
ly Rev. G. S. O. Humbert was
chosen, although he was not pres
ent at the meeting.
At this time officers were chosen
from the pastors for the Ministerial
Association of this city for the fol
lowing year. Rev. F. L. Moore, of
the M. E. church, was elected presi
dent; Rev. F. A. Lark, of the M. E.
Church, South, viee-president; Rev.
L. M. Boozer, of the United Evan
gelical church, secretary. The as
sociation is to meet one a month
and the time of the meeting is set
for the first Monday evening of the
month .
Tho residence of W F Hamlin, in

grooms led ttneir Prides into tna
tastefully decorated parlors, where
the ceremony was performed in an
impressive manner by Rev Geo E

delicious breakfast was served, to
which tho guests did ample justice.
The table was beautifully decora
ted with violets and roses.
The brides were both beauti
fully arrayed in white organdie
with satin trimmings, and each car
ried a boquet of brides roses. The
bride-grooms were attired in con
ventional blaek. The hall and
parlors were richly ornamented

California.
In 1854 the Gazelle was built
at a point on the bank of the
river, opposite Oregon City, by a
company organized for the pur
pose of founding a rival town.
Fate apparently frowned upon
this ambition. The first boat
constructed by the company was
burned before she was fairly
completed; the second, the ill
fated Gazelle, was blown to
atoms within 20 days after launch
ing:. This disaster involved loss
of life, as well as destruction of
property, for her crew, together
with a score of passengers, shared
her sudden fate.
The Enterprise, launched in
1855, eventually found her way
northward to the Frazer river.
The James Clinton, built the fol
lowing year, was the first boat to
ascend the Willamette as far as
Eugene. She was successfully
operated upon this route, giving
the people of the upper valley
efficient and satisfactory service
until she was, at last, broken up
and her machinery shipped to
Coos bay, to become an integral
part of a steamer being con
structed at that point. The Port
land, built the same year as the
James Clinton, below the talis,
was, when completed, taken up
and run for a twelve-month, un
der command of Captain Jamie
son. The story of the Portland's
tragic end is told by those who
witnessed her mad leap over the
brink of the foaming cataract at
Oregon City.
It was on the 17th of March,
1857, There had been an acci
dent on the trip down the river,
which resulted in an injured rud
der. The damage had been
temporarily repaired by means of
rope lashings. At Canemah, just
above the falls, the boat landed
some freioht and started to cross
to the opposite shore. When in
midstream the rope lashing part

down the river. The current
was swift and strong and her en
gines were powerless m its re
