Ferndale, Feb 13th, 1893
ED ENTERPRISE:--A party of Ferndale gentlemen visited Scotia one day last week and had the great pleasure of viewing the redwoods and taking a short trip on Capt Harris' new steamer Ruth, piloted by Mr. Dan Shively. She is a pretty and staunch little craft, power being furnished by a gas engine manufactured by the Union Gas Engine Co, San Francisco. She makes head way against the current at the rate of three miles an hour, covering the entire distance between Stotia and Dyerville in about seven hours, and returning in less than two hours. She rides very smoothly and the machinery does not jar the boat in the least, nor make scarcely any noise. Her cargo the day of our trip consisted of three tons of freight, in addition to quite a list of passengers. Capt Harris is well pleased with his investment and feels sanguine of success. He informed us that he expected to be able to navigate Eel river as far up as the Robinson mill on the South Fork during every winter, and in summer would bring his boat down to the lower river and do service hereabouts. The little craft is 30 feet in length, has 11 feet beam, and draws an average of 18 inches. Her cost complete landed at Scotia was $3,000. If you think these few lines are worth publishing please give them a place in your much valued paper. Respectfully: PLEASURE-SEEKERS

The particulars of the Pascoe-Shively trouble at Rio Dell are given by the Rohnerville Herald as follows: "Dan Shively of Pepperwood and John Pascoe of Bear river indulged in a social cutting scrape in Jim Berry's saloon at Rio Dell last Saturday night. It seems that Pascoe was going to have Shiveley arrested last fall but for some reason he failed to do so and bad blood has existed between the two ever since. Last Saturday night they met at Rio Dell, Pascoe pulled out his knife and cut Shively in the right cheek and under the left arm, the knife striking a bone and glancing off. Neither of the wounds were dangerous.
