rebuild was complete. In August 1907 it was reported that the gasoline-fueled steamer Etna, named after a town on the Lewis River, would be undergoing conversion to steam power, and would work in connection with Mascot on the Lewis River. In November 1907 the hull for the new Mascot was nearing completion. A decision had reportedly been made to reuse the old machinery. However, when the construction was done, in February 1908, it was reported that new machinery had been installed. The cabin structure, although reused, was rearranged. By late February 1908, the reconstruction was complete, reportedly having taken about a year to complete. The sternwheeler Tahoma had filled in for Mascot on the Lewis River route while the reconstruction was being done. The reconstruction cost the company $30,000. The reconstructed steamer was long, with a beam of and depth of hold of . The overall size of the vessel was increased to 299 gross tons and 258 registered tons. The new Mascot was reported to be one of the fastest of its type and to have "but little resemblance to the old boat". Following reconstruction, Mascot was commanded by Capt. Archibald McNeill. Service on the upper Willamette river In December 1909, two of the sternwheelers of the Oregon City Transportation Company became disabled. On Monday, December 13, 1909, near Independence, Oregon, Pomona had blown out two cylinder heads and cracked its sternwheel shaft. Oregona had struck a snag the previous Wednesday and was disabled. Mascot was brought down to run on the upper Willamette between Portland and Corvallis until one of the disabled vessels could be repaired. Labor economics Pay for experienced deckhands was about $35 per month in 1910. During the summer, deckhands often shifted over to work at hop yards, logging camps, and other places. According to the Morning Oregonian there were also "a crowd along the beach, regarded as transients, who seldom work more than a few days on any steamer, their aim being to get a small amount of money for immediate needs and then rest." However, despite this, in October 1910, Mascot and other steamers were reportedly running with full crews of experienced men. Disposition Mascot burned on the early Sunday morning of March 19, 1911, at Pekin, on the Lewis River, a small settlement near the mouth of the Lewis River. Mascot had not been able to reach Woodland for several months, but
