• COATING OF ICE
OVER COLUMBIA
WILLIAMETTE AT PORTLAND AL
SO HAS THIN COATING
OF ICE
PORTLAND, Jan. 6—For tne first
time in years, the Wilamette river at
Portland is frozen nearly across, a
thin coating of ice extending from
each bank nearlly to midstream. Ship
** ping has not been interferred with,
but great masses of floating ice in
the Columbia opposite Vancouver,
threaten to form a jam and impede
navigation.
According to reports here the Col
umbia also is frozen over, a solid inch
* of ice being formed in the vicinity of
the interstate bridge near Vancouver,
Wash. Ice floes near Astoria are
said to be a menace to navigation.
On receipts of reports from Vancou
ver of ice running in the Columbia
river, the port of Portland made ar
rangements to place a steel tug in
service to assist in moving any ves
sels to be shifted were ice was en
countered.

GREAT FLOODS SWEEPING
THROUGH RUSSIAN LANDS
NIKOLAIEVSKI, Jan. 6.—Great
floods swept over the trans-Btikal re
gion last week, entailing great losses
in property and cattle. The Amur
river has risen fourteen feet, docks at
Nikolaievski have been entirely de
molished, many houses were un-roof
ed and floating ice has accumulated
in the streets to the height of five or
six feet. The loss of life cannot be
estimated at present, but it is expected
to be large.

DIES IN TEXAS
AND ‘BIG BOY’ HARRIS’S BOAST
WAS THAT HE WAS AS
STRONG AS HE WAS BIG
FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 6.—Sam
(Big Boy) Harris, the world’s biggest
constable, is dead.
But there survive many reminiscen
ces that will remain legends in his
hoine town of Farmersville, Texas.
Fifty-two years old and weighing
almost 700 pounds—692 to be exact—
Sam was borne to his grave on a mo
tor truck, encased in the largest cof
fin ever constructed. It aggregated,
with his remains, a combined weight
of 1,518 pounds. The great casket
could have accommodated four men of
normal stature.
Sam was memorable for his boast
| that he “was as strong as he was
large.” His favorite declaration was
that he could lift “anything that was
loose on both ends.”
In his career as city marshal his
great size and strength often proved
a source of economy to the city. These
assets precluded the necessity of pur
chasing a patrol. It was recalled
that on one occasion he carried three
muchly intoxicated men a distance of
over a mile to the city bastile.
Then again, his office duties in
cluded the task of aiding the village
fire department. When the state
bank burned, Sam, single handed,,
pushed the huge one-ton safe from the
building, but it took two horses to re

He never slept in a bed. Nobody
ever made one that would rest his
huge frame. He would recline on the
floor. Sam had a pleasure car, too.
It was a ton truck with the old family
couch securely fastened to the floor
of the body. With a canopy over his
head the big constable made his trips
to surrounding communities reposing
on the couch while his deputies coax
ed his truck into action.
His meals were the feature attroc
tion of the town. Sam could and
did, consume more food at one “sit
ting” than any other six men in the
town. In the pre-Volstad era he com
plained local spirit emporiums never
kept enough cold beer on hand to fill
him up.
His recent visit to New York as a
delegate to the Woodman of the World
convention proved a sensation. The
emblematic axe that he carried could
not have been lifted by the average
man.
Perhaps the most thorough idea of
his enormous size can be gained from
the measurements he once supplied a
mail order house for a suit. Weight
692 pounds, height 6 feet two inches,
waist 78 inches, chest 70 inches, hips
84 inches, thigh 52 inches, calf 30 in.
collar 24 inches.
The mail order tailors were convinc
ed Sam had overestimated his figure,
and made him a suit, although big
enough for two average men,, was yet
too small for the constable. He sent
it back with a note that he had order
ed a man-sized suit, and that when he
wanted one for his youngest boy he
would specify as much.
He was survived by eight children
four boys whose combined weight to
taled 720 pounds, four girls aggregat
ing 686 pounds, and his wife who tip
ped the scales at 190.
