ONLY LACKS MONEY Directors Anxious to Improve Sanitary Conditions, BLAME THEM OH TAXPAYERS' Board Propone to Hake Improve ments In Some ef the Local Educa tional Institutions Every- Year, but Han Inadequate Fands. Given sufficient funds the school - dl rectors say that the unsanitary conditions now prevailing In a number of the city 1 NORWEGIAN TURRET STEAMSHIP XORJIAN ISLES. The big steamship Norman Isles is completing her cargo or 2.500.000 feet of lumber in the stream off the North Pacific mills. In addition to all the space In her hold being filled, a considerable quantity of lumber is piled up and securely fastened on the turret decks. The Norman Isles will com plete her cargo Friday night and leave down the -river Saturday. Captain Petterson expects to return to Portland late in the year. schools will be entirely done away with. "We can't put in new systems of plumb ing and ventilation without spending good round sums of money, and the tax payers felt that they were assessed high enough already," Is the answer which the directors make to the charges of the edu cational committee of the City Federa tion of Women's Clubs which on Tuesday reported a most horrible condition in the schools visited. It Is the purpose of the Board qf Edu cation to make Improvements in some of the schools every j'ear. Last year the High School got a new coat of paint, and a new plumbing system was Installed in the Falling .School. The Couch and the High Schools are booked for Improve-, ments In plumbing this Summer. As the directors hope to build a new structure at the Atkinson next year, little will prob ably be done with that dilapidated shell this season. The directors admit that the conditions in the schools listed for Improvements this Summer are bad, but say that in the other buildings mentioned by the educa tional committee of the City Federation of Women's Clubs, the Stephens and the Williams Avenue, the unhealthfulness stated Is slightly overdrawn. The Brook lyn School they eay Is out of date, but hero they also hope to place a new struc ture before long. The crusade begun by the clubwomen has raised no objections from the direc tors or the principals. They realize that the women are Intensely Interested in any. thing concerning the welfare of their children, and that they are strictly within their sphere when they Investigate the eanltary conditions of the school of the city. "The committee came to see me, and I told them that I was glad to see such an agitation," said Herman Wittenberg, of the Board of Education. "I told them to jump on the schools and on the directors for not recommending more money to make these repairs and alterations; told em I was glad to see It I agree with everything the committee said, though in a few points it is possible that they slight ly overdrew matters. Yes. sir, we're economists, and will save 10 cents and lose $10 in the end. It is merely a ques tion as to whether the taxpayers of Port land are willing to pay enough taxes to put the schools In a sanitary condition. The majority of the board usually does not recommend what Is really needed, and I have found that the taxpayers will give what the board recommends. The Atkin son School is no good, neither Is the Couch, but I do not think that the High School Is quite so bad. None of them are so bad but that they might be worse. The Atkinson is an old trap, and you can't do much with it without tearing the whole thing down. The ventilation Is horrible, but the people won't vote for alterations, and of course you can't do anything with the schools without incurring expense." "Perhaps those women are not heavy taxpayers," said J. V. Beach. "Give us the money and we will attend to all these things. There have been so many demands upon the repair fund of the board that it has been impossible to make all these changes in a short time. Last year we painted the High School and put new plumbing In the Falling. As it hap pened the principal of the High School wanted new plumbing and the principal of the Falling wished a new coat of paint, which Is indeed badly needed. We con sidered that It was necessary to paint the building for the preservation of the wood. The plumbing has been Improved since it was put In, "and is better now than when the building was put up. In fact, the conditions in all the schools are better than they used to be hy far. The build ing fund has been exhausted by the new Highland School and the addition to the North Central and the Stephens. We have not begun on the repair fund which is kept separately." "Give us the money, and we'll do all they ask." declared R. K. Warren. "There have been many Improvements in the High School since I was principal, and I do net think that any disease has been caused by the sanitary conditions. When the system of plumbing now In the older buildings was installed It was considered the very best. Several years ago when thero was a great discussion as to the boys eating in the basement, a new sys tem of ventilation was put In. but was not large enough to carry off all the foul air. The best system we have now is the fan system of heating; this heats the building and at the same time ventilates it. This is in the Sunnyside. and will be put in the new Woodiawn building." That the times and systems of plumbing have changed since the High School build ing was erected was spoken of by City Superintendent Frank Rlgler. "When the building was finished in 1SS5 there was a great cry among the taxpayers because the system of plumbing was so expensive and elaborate." said he. "Now It Is entirely out of date and must soon be replaced by a modern system. Im- provements were made last year In two of the schools, and the board hopes to place a new system In the Conch and the High School 'during- the coming Summer. At the High School the conditions are not so ,bad as they look. Much of the smell comes from disinfectants and the tanks are flushed out twice a day. Everything Is old-fashioned about these schools, and naturally does not look so well as the newer systems. In the Falling, the Clinton Kelly and the Chapman we have the .sep arate flushing system, which Is, of course, much better. The tanks at the other schools are old and out of date, but at the time they were put In were considered the very best. The worst thins about the High School Is that the boys have no privacy." With nostrils prepared for the very worst, a reporter visited the basements of the High and the Atkinson schools yes terday. It wasn't so bad as It might have been, but, indeed, it -was bad enough. For smell the High School takes the palm away from the Atkinson. In the base ments of both schools the conditions were very nearly as described by the educa tional committee of the City Federation of Women's Clubs. In the boys depart ment it was very odorous. Every part was almost green with age. broken and almost Impossible to keep clean, no mat- LOADING LUMBER FOR SIBERIA. tcr how hard the janitor or the principal tried to live up to sanitary requirements. Some fixtures which could have been re paired at little expense have remained broken and unfit for use by any cleanly person for a long time. Principal Davis offered no excuse. "There It is," said he; "it's pretty bad, but we're doing the best we can under the circumstances. The Janitor keeps It ns clean as possible, and I am In here often to see that the flushing Is working properly. I really think that the money used for painting the building last Sum mer could have been spent to better ad vantage by putting in a new toilet system- The .yentllatjon hore is- very bad, as well, as the heating. At times when the wind Is from the south some of the rooms upstairs can. hardly be kept warm enough for the pupils and teachers to stay in. Yes, the committee came here, and I turned them loose, and they looked around and saw everything they wanted to. There is no reason, I think, -why the women of the city should not vlst the schools if they think that unsanitary con ditions prevail. There has never been any epidemic in this school, and I do not think that the closets, bad as they are, will ever- cause one." To instill the modern system of sani tary plumbing In the High School would require $3000, according to the estimate of T. J. Jones, the architect of the Board of Education. "It cost nearly that much in the Falling School, and I think would take fully that much In the High School," said the architect. "I don't think that the janitors are at all to blame for the condi tions in the schools. Everything is old and almost worn out, and, I think the jani tors do the best they can." "Do you want to see the rat-holes?" asked A. R. Draper, principal of the At kinson, to a visitor yesterday. "Well, we can find them easily enough." The school of wihlch air. Draper is the head was described by the clubwomen as a rat-hole, and the principal seems to think that they are about right. Dilapidated, un palnted and unsanitary, the old rattle trap stands in the heart of the city as a survival of the old-fashioned schoolhouses which have long since served their term of usefulness. "Nice advertisement this schoolhouse will be for the city during the Lewis and Clark Fair," said Mr. .Draper, sarcastically. Decay has provided an ample svstera of ventilation In the Atkinson School. Cricks through which the wind may stream uninterrupted furnish all the air the pupils need. Warmed by cannonball stoves of the long ago, the problem Is not how much air but how little. The stair case at the back of the building which the pupils are not allowed to use is en tirely unsafe. The teachers use It, and it is a good thing that none of them is particularly heavy, or down would go the staircase. The odor in the basement is not up to the high mark of the High School but Is certainly bad enough. Here the old-fashioned fixtures reign supreme, and the flushing is a pitiable, weakly stream which looks as though the odor was too much for It The room -where the physical exercises are performed is cold and draughty. An aged and decrepit stove in one corner makes a futile attempt to warm the space, but Is quite unsuccessful. Over In the girl's side a. large rat was seen casting a hungry eye at some bicycle tires. Yes, the committee is right there are rats in the Atkinson School. In the annex at the western side of the main building the conditions are decidedly bet ter, but In no part are th,e requirements up to the standard of modern school con struction. Small wonder the board hopes to replace the present building with an other next year! Tho clubwomen speak strongly of the drinking facilities in the schools which they visited. The tin cups In the High School were bright and new, but in the Atkinson old, rusty drinking cups were found. "I do not think that any disease is caused by drinking from the same cup," said Principal Draper. "Almost every pupil rinses the cup before using It. I hardly see how that part can be im proved. Glasses would constantly be broken." Mr. Davis said practically the ame thing. Many have been the crusades of various organizations and persons against certain conditions in the public schools. Now that of the City Federation of Wo men's Clubs is the last to war against dirt and vile odors. Mother love aroused is going to Insist upon-a general bouse cleaning. BUSINESS ITEMS.

Don't forget this- LUMBER FOR CALLAO BRITISH SHIP COCKERXOimr "WAS CHARTERED YESTERDAY. XaraB Iftlca Completes Her Cargo Friday Changes In Steam Ves sel Inspection Service. The British ship Cockcnnouth, the only disengaged vessel "in port, was chartered yesterday by W. R. Grace & Co., of San Francisco, to load lumber for Collao, Peru. It is believed that she will receive her cargo at the North Pacific mills. The l Cockcrmouth will carry out about 1,000.000 feet. The ship arrived in port on the 6th Inst., with part cargo from Antwerp, which ehe is discharging at Columbia dock. She will begin leading her out ward cargo about April 1. The big turret steamship Norman Isles will complete her cargo Friday night, and will leave down Saturday morning. She Is at tne North Pacific mills, receiving her deckload, and when" fully loaded will have about 2,000.000 feet aboard. She is destined for Port Arthur. Captain Pettersen yes terday received word that the steamship had been chartered to load' In China and Japan for New York, but ne has not learned with what cargo. His belief is that the Norman Isles will go from Now York to Europe with cotton, and will probably load back with rails from Ant werp for this port The work of loading the Crown of In dia and the Peru, at the Eastern Lumber Company's mill, proceeds slowly. The for mer, which Is taking lumber for South Africa, has about 1,200,000 feet aboard, and will take 500, OX) feet more. The Peru is to take about 2,000,000 feet tp Liverpool, but "so far has not got her lower hold filled. The steamship Pak Ling, wit lumber for Manila, arrived . down at Astoria at noon yesterday. Her cargo measures 2,000,000 feet of rough and dressed lumber and a quantity of molding of a "total value of $28,234. The Pak Ling will stop at Ta coma and take on a quantity of miscel laneous cargo for Asiatic ports. She Is one of the regular Dodwell liners, plying between the Sound and tha Orient BREMEN'S SHIPPING BUSINESS. How It Has Grown by the Aid of River Improvement. The German City of Bremen furnishes an example of what may be done by river Improvement and opening up communica tion with the sea. The tonnage of the port in 1902 was 1,101,273, as compared with 373.404 tons in 1S90. and 62.29S in 1SS0. The real seaport of Bremen, until a few years ago, was Bremerhavcn, located at the mouth of the River Weser, about 35 miles from the city. This harbor Is one of the best on the coast and is noted for being easily accessible from the North Sea, and for being free from Ice even in the coldest Winter. Formerly It was im possible for craft drawing more than from four to six feet of water to go up to Bremen, especially in dry seasons, and prevailing high winds; and as ocean steamers grew larger, requiring deeper water for navigation, Bremen seemed doomed to become practically an Inland town. It was then that the city deter mined upon making a heroic effort to re gain its former position among the sea ports of the world. A large sum of money was appropriated for the purpose of deepening and straightening the channel of the River Weser, all the way to Bre merhaven. It was a gigantic undertak ing, but it was accomplished with such success that the river became navigable for vessels drawing from 16 to IS feet of water. A commodious free harbor was also built, where vessels from all parts of the world may now be dally seen load ing and discharging their cargoes. STEAM VESSEL INSPECTION. New Inspector-General Preparing: to Fill Official Vacancies'. George Uhler, the newly appointed su pervising inspector-general of steam ves sels, will take cnarge of his office April 1. One of Mr. TJhlers plans Is to get the right kind of material to nil vacancies in the service. Appointments have hereto fore been made from an eligible list pro cured by the Civil Service Commission as the result of a system of examinations that was satisfactory to Mr. Dumont; but that does not como up to the ideas of Mr. TJhler, as to -what is required. This list will be destroyed and a new one will be obtained by examinations prepared by Mr. TJhler and the Civil Service Commis sion. When this new list 'is ready the men who are considered Incompetent will be weeded out of the service. Steamer Runs Down Schooner. VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass., March 25.

DIEHL HERE Assistant General Manager of Asso ciated Press on a Pleasure Trip. Colonel Charles S. Dlehl, assistant gen eral manager of the Associated Press, with headquarters in Chicago, accom panied by Mrs. Dlehl, is at the Portland. They are making a pleasure trip of the Northwest Mr. Dlehl is regarded as one of Chi cago's, ablest newspaper men, and he achieved his present position by hard, conscientious work previously done on newspapers. Mr. Dlehl Is a native of Maryland, having been born In that state In 1SSL He spent his early years in Illi nois, and first engaged In newspaper work in Chicago In 1S73. He got his training on the Times, and served from a reporter to assistant city editor during his connection with the paper. During his time the work accomplished for the paper, particu larly as correspondent In the field during three noted Indian compaigns. brought his name Into prominence. He accom panied General Terry's column in the Spring and Summer campaign of 1S77 against the Sioux, and was with General Miles in the campaign of 1$78 against the Nez Perces. He was with the expedition commanded by Colonel Ilges against the Sioux in the extreme northern portion of Dakota in the Winter of 1S79-S0. On his way to join that expedition he carried offi cial dispatches to Colonel Ilges from Gen eral Sheridan, having an armed escort Tho party was lost for two days in a blizzard, out of which it was regarded as remarkable that any of its members came alive, but as Mr. Dlehl -was tho only cor respondent in the field the Times had the satisfaction of receiving the only' tele graphic narrative of the Winter battle with the Sioux at Poplar Creek, on the Upper Missouri. In 1SSS Mr. Dlehl entered the service of the Associated Press as the day agent in Chicago. InlSS7 he was transferred to San Francisco as Pacific Coast manager, be ing placed in charge of all the Interests of the Associated Press in this section. He remained in that position until 1893. Dur ing his stay on the Coast he organized for the Associated Press a news service em bracing the Pacific Coast States and the Samoan and Hawaiian -Islands. It has been the fortune of the press association through Mr. Dlehl and the correspondents on the Coast and the Pacific islands to report wme of the most remarkable Inci dents in recent American history, the most striking being the story of the wrecking of the American and German warships In Apia harbor. To Chlcagoans Mr. Dlehl is well known as the organizer of the First Regiment Illinois National Guard. EVEN TRUSTS ADVERTISE Over $2,000,000 Spent to" Advertise a Single Brand by the Tobacco Trast (National Advertiser. It Is said that the tobacco trust spent upwards of $2,000,030 in advertising a single brand of its tobacco. Three hundred thousand dollars were spent by the Na tional Blecult Company1 in a month or two upon the single brand of "Uneeda" crackers- "Omega Oil" expenditure for public ity ran into the hundreds of thousands of dollars before any returns came in. Wan amaker, so it is said, thinks nothing of a $200,000 contract with one paper. Think of the millions that have been spent In advertising by each of the following con cerns: "Ayer," "Warner Safe Cure "Hostetters Bitters;" and any one. of sev eral department stores. Yet this is not money spent after alL TEE MEN AND WOMEN Who Enjoy the Choicest Products of the Wbrld'sCorrunerce. KsevrleiiRe ef .What Is Ket?Mare Ii jortRHt Than AVeaitk With out It. It must be apparent to every one that qualities of the highest order are" neces sary to enable the best of the products of modern commerce to attain permanently to universal acceptance. However, loudly heralded, they may not hope f'orworld-"wlde preeminence unless they meet with the general approval, not of individuals only, but of the many who have the happy faculty of selecting, enjoying and learn ing the real worth of the choicest prod ucts. Their .commendation, consequently, becomes important to others, since to 'meet the requirements of the well in formed of all countries the method of manufacture must be of themost per fect order and the combination the most excellent of its kind. The above Is true not of food products only, but is espe cially applicable to medicinal agents and after nearly a quarter of a, century of growth and general -use the excellent remedy. Syrup qf Figs,- Is everywhere accepted, throughout the world, as the best of family laxatives, its quality is due not only to the excellence of tho combination of tho laxative and carmin ative principles of plants known to act most beneficially on the system and pre sented In the form of a pleasant and re freshing liquid, but also to the method tt manufacture of the California Fig" Syrup Co., which. ensures that uniformi ty and purity essential in a remedy in tended for family use. Ask any physi cian who is well informed and he will answer at once that it is an excellent laxative. It at all eminent In his pro fession and ha3 made a special study of laxatives and their effects upon the sys tem he -will tell you that It Is the best of family laxatives, because it is sim ple and wholesome and cleanses and sweetens the system effectually, when a laxative Is needed, without any un pleasant after-effects. Every- well-informed druggi3t of reputable standing knows that Syrup of Figs Is an excel lent laxative and Is glad to sell it at the regular price of fifty cents per bo't tle, because it gives general satisfac tion, but one should remember that In order to get the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs It is necessary to buy tho genuine, which Is sold In original pack ages only; the name of the remedy Syrup of Figs and also the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of every package. It is an Investment, and one, too, that Is more certain than investment In mines or speculation in grains and stocks. It Is investment that brings quick returns and large returns. It Is investment that as sures returns commensurate with the amount Invested. Big as are the expen ditures, they do not represent a great outlay all at one time, as a rule. As soon as the advertisement appears, or, certain ly, in a little time thereafter. It begins to bring In money, so that by the end of any given year it has returned sumo greatly in excess of the amounts invested. A child of tho century but Just closed, It has grown to the measure of full manhood, whose promise for the century now being lived Is beyond any possible estimate. There are .things which, wear with age, and of which men weary because of their long presence. But advertising grows more attractive with the years. The ad vertising of this year will bo greater than that of any year that has gone before; that of 1901 bids fair to be larger even than the tremendoua expenditure for the cur rent year.
