[cp] outside-Srh Ruth CG63 Jan 3, 1902 The Ruth is again afloat, bouyed up by scows, but the piling which sunk her still hold [print] her fast. It was thought at first that a snag had caused the disaster, but it has been discovered that she struck a clump of piling at the head of the old Max Friendly boom. They were bent forward by the shock and as the steamer settled back the current drew her on to the piling and she must be moved ahead before she can be released; either this, or wait for a two or three foot raise in the river to lift her off. The latter plan will be adopted. + [also in CZ] Jan 7, 1902 Outside-Srh Ruth CG63 Jan 7, 1902 The steamer Ruth which has furnished numerous items since her mishap some three weeks ago, must now be in Portland. She was floated Saturday and taken to a point near the ferry, where she was relieved of one of the scows, and prepared for her trip down the river. It was found in raising the boat that four of her watertight compartments, into which the hull of modern boats are [print] divided, were penetrated by the snag, and it was found necessary to repair the compartments as they emerged from the water. Sunday morning she started for Portland where she will be placed in drydock and thoroughly overhauled. + [also in CZ] = CG 64 Fri Jan 10, 1902 Lhc-pop CG64 Jan 10, 1902 census of continental US, or US proper 75,994,575 Phillipines 6,900.ooo+, Porto Rico 953,000+ Hawaii 154,000 Alaska 63,592 Guam 9000 Am.

Gault of Hillsboro visited; says The time was when the wealthy installed pianos in the music room... Then came competition and cheapening of products so that now almost anyone can have a piano... the nabob...turn to pipe organs where the expenditure of money is almost without limit. Then the range of music and musical effect for the pipe organ is greater. Firms in the east are having their most profitable customers for those who are putting organs in palatial houses. Indeed some factories get no orders from cathedrals and churches. The Cramers at Corvallis are preparing themselves to take care of this trade which is coming within the next few years. The demand for parlor organs, a reed instrument is brisk and the company has orders ahead. They take all the skilled workmen they can get. In addition they have a number of apprentices... At present fourteen men are at work and the tradesmen of Corvallis report that already the effect of this small pay roll is noticable [print]. The instruments are beautiful and more reasonable in price than Oregonians have been accustomed to hear quoted. + [also in CZ] outside-Srh paper-photo Ruth CG 64 Jan 10, 1902 Tuesday’s Oregonian has a half-tone of the Ruth steaming past Portland’s water front, on her way to the 0 R & N repair yards. The damages to her hull are of such a nature that the boat will have to have practically a new bottom, and many of the ribs will have to be replaced. The steamer was not strained or wrenched in any way. She will be hauled out on the ways and repairs will be made as quickly as possible. One of the holes in her hull is 4 x 12 feet. + [also in CZ] Jan 7, 1901 [as typed. . Doubtless means 1902] Racism [categories?] organ-factory? CG64 Jan 7, 1902 ED. GAZETTE: By your kind indulgence, I wish to state through the columns of your valuable paper to the general public and to the host of patrons of the Big White House, of the City of Corvallis, Or., that I, being the holder of the winning number, 9968, in the grand drawing contest for the organ which was manufactured in our city, and that I have received the organ, and that it now graces the parlor of my humble home [print]. Am I a musician myself? No, but I have two little fellows who are -- they put one foot each on the pedals, hold the keys down, and let her "squeal." I have been asked the question: “What did the organ cost you?" Now, for the benefit of those who think that possibly I may have had some kind of a pull or "stand in," or, if you please, some cute way of getting next, that this is entirely a mistake.[print]. The organ did not cost me one dollar. For every dollar’s worth purchased at the White House I received a ticket the same as others. A number of times I went away forgetting to get my tickets. I am not hired or paid for writing this, but I wish to make the statement that Kline’s is indeed the White House. And last, but not least, he keeps white people behind the counters. J.D. Howell.
