Newspaper Page Text4 ST. HELENS MIST, FBI DAY. NOVEMBER 5. 1915 ATTRACTS ATTENTION ELSEWHERE The construction ot the big lum ber ship at the St. Helena shipyard, is attracting attention end comment in marine circles along the entire coact. The following extract is from the San Francisco Examiner: "The entry of the Charles It. Mc Cormtck Steamship company into the off Bhore trade will be inaugu rated by the launching of one of the finest flve-masted schooners ever turned out on the Pacific coast. The schooner is at present building in the yards at St. Helens, Columbia river, and will be reedy to take to the water in a few months. "The construction of the schooner by the McCormick company will also YANKTON. which is one of the oldest operating on the coast, has been engaged in coastwise business working especially the lumber trade. Recently a branch organization, known as the Parr McCormick company, was organized to handle the merchandise business ot the parent organization. DESERT SCHOOL HOUSES BunkhouBes or dismantled car bod ies are being used for school house purposes on the Southern California and Arizona desert territory through which the Southern Pacific passes. As a result, the company is, and has been able for some time, to provide school privileges for every child of school age on the desert, regardless of their race or position. In most of the desert country, the railroad de pends almost entirely upon Mexican labor for track forces, and the edu cational privileges are being eagerly taken advantago ot by the Mexican children. Before the Southern Pacific took an active interest in its men in the cactus country, because of sparse population and isolation there were no school facilities on many of the sections and there were not enough residents in the communities to make it possible to obtain funds to put up suitable buildings. To 'send the children to distant towns to school was out of the question, so that until Assistant General Manager H. V. Piatt and Superintendents W. H Whalen and T. H. Williams took the matter in hand, a Job on the desert had a disadvantage to the employe with a family a disadvantage that, happily, does not now exist. On the Tucson division at Mohawk, for in stance, the company recently put up a tie house for a school and it is one of the best patronized by Mexican children. At other points on the di vision, the company is furnishing drinking water to nearby public schools. In other ways it is aiming to encourage educational opportuni ties. For example, the Los Angeles division might be said to be divided into two sections desert and inside. When a man hag worked on the des ert for some time and his children get to be of school ags, the railroad en deavors to transfer him to an inside point where his children may have the advantages of an education.
