DURING
THE
FOG
During the dense fog of last
Monday the Harvest Queen in
making a landing at St. Helens,
backed into the old wood dock,
resulting in a damaged wheel on
the boat and the breaking down
of some of the old piling of the
dock. The only regrettable feature of the whole affair, looking
at it from the view point of a
citizen, and aside from
the damage done to the fine river
steamer, was that the entire old
unsightly and dangerous dock
was not entirely demolished.
The Hassalo has been on the run
in place of the Queen since that
time, while the Queen is being
repaired.

I). Ernest Randall was advertised to appear at the City Hall
last Tuesday night as the third
number of the Lyceum Course,
but somebody got their dates
mixed. Hy applying the process
of elimination as to who was at
fault it looks like the Mist will
have to bear the burden of making the error. However nobody
was damaged very much and we
will make up for it in boosting
for the Lyceum Course from
now on, as we have done heretofore. Mr. Randall, the famous
