Original Mark We Tell You These Are WORK MAKES NEW MEN TITE MORNING OKEGONIAN. TUESDAY, SEPTE3IBER 5, 1916. Plans Made for Short Trip on Torpedo-Boat Destroyer Target Work With Six-Inch Rifles l'roves Interesting. BY JOSEPH MACQUEEN. SAX DIEGO, Cal., Aug. 31. (Special correepondeice.) After a visit to Mexi can waters of four days for deep-sea practice in the firing of big guns, the cruiser South Dakota, with 86 civilian volunteers on board from Oref on. Washington, California and Montana, arrived in the harbor of Ban Diego at 4:45 o'clock this afternoon. The plans are that the civilian vol unteers leave tomorrow morning on torpedo-boat destroyers on a short cruise, and that they will be kept on board the cruiser South Dakota, Com mander C. M. Tozer, until Monday morning, when the trip northward will begin. Everybody on board the South Da kota is well and happy and well fed. OfT the gun practice grounds at the Coronado Islands. Mexico, about 30 miles from this city, the weather was cool, with gray skies and occasional fog. It is a relief to return to smiling sunshine at San Diego. Civilians' Eves Opened. The run on board the South Dakota to "Tlexican waters was an eye-opener to the civilians. They got their first real test In naval discipline. The tones of the officers voices were firmer, but not autocratic, and everybody "stif fened up." The roomy accommodations on board the cruiser are much en Joyed. Last- Monday the civilian volunteers fired rounds of real ammunition from one-pounder sub-caliber guns at float ing targets towed about by a launch, and made creditable scores. That night the crew was called to the quarter deck, where Commander Tozer gave a lecture on "Naval Strategy." . A real "movie show" enlivened the proceed ings. Tuesday night Commander Tozer lec tured to an appreciative audience on "Naval Operations." Yesterday after noon Lieutenant Graves lectured on "Naval Discipline and Military Law." Drill Make New Men. Each morning the naval pilgrims are treated to vigorous "setting-up drills," consisting of athletic exercises, and these are making new men of the landsmen. Drill as infantry, with Springfield rifles, is also part of the daily programme. But the great event of the cruise was the shooting with the six-inch guns today. Real shells were used and the explosions were tremendous. Targets were floated about 2000 yards from the cruiser and were hauled about by a busy, important tugboat. Fight shells were fired of the six-inch family, at a cost of $41 each, $328 in all. The scores were first-class, but what the hits were cannot be stated. Each shell was painted a different color red. green, orange, black, and so on, so that the effect of each shell could be noted afterward on the targets. Two gun crews of the "regular force" fired first Gilliam and Cleary, and Young and Henning. The Pacific Coast civilian volunteers who fired also are: Altoh and Brand, Farnsworth and Roberts, Quinn and Sheeley, Sulli van and Ault. Reed and Wood worth, and Jones and Flint.' The two men from Oregon are William C. Reed and C. C. Woodworth. Behavior Is Commented. The cool, businesslike behavior of all these civilian gunners, and the total absence of all "scare," are commented on favorably by the officers. "The men from shore on board the South Dakota have in them the stuff that makes real sailors," said Com mander Tozer tonight. "They are amenable to discipline and are fast learning naval duties. All they need is time. This experiment is a success." BAKER MILL IS BURNED OREGON LUMBER COMPANY LOSES PART OF" PLAJTT. Loss Amounts to $40,000, TJpen WaUch No Insurance Was Carried Order Filled From Stock. BAKER, Or.. Sept. 4. (Special.) Fire destroyed the sawmill of the Ore gon Lumber Company at South Baker this afternoon, causing a loss of $40, 000. with no insurance. The blaze is believed to have started by powder-like sawdust Jn the engine room, igniting from the fire under the boilers. In an instant the entire mill was ablaze and burned rapidly. For a while the entire $100,000 plant and many other buildings were threatened, but the Baker fire department and 150 men worked heroically and kept the flames from spreading. Several cars of lumber were pulled to safety Just in time. Twenty men were thrown, out of work, but the company will not be hampered in filling orders, because its yards are well stocked. Superintendent F. H. Atkinson said be could not tell whether a new mill would be con structed until word is received from other officials of the company. It is possible that the Whitney & Austin mills may be put on night runs to keep up the stock. The South Baker mill was built in 1891 and had a dally capacity of 100.000 feet- DRYAD SCHOOLS TO OPEN High School Is Placed on Four-Year Accredited List. CENTRJLLIA, Wash, Sept 4. (Spe cial.)

MARY PICKFORD Is lost to the Paramount programme, but not so Marguerite Clark, who is every bit as popular, f not a trifle more so, than "Our Mary" with Port land film fans. Herman Wobber, vice-president of the Progressive Motion Picture Com pany, Paramount distributor, who was a Portland visitor a day or two ago. is authority for the denial of the rumor, that Miss Clark, who has charmed millions in such vehicles as "Little j Lad v Eileen" and "The Prince and the! Pauper," is to quit the screen. No sooner had she signed a stage contract calling for her appearance in Dilling ham productions than Dame Rumor im mediately circulated the report that the diminutive star would no longer grace the "flickers." "While it is true that Miss Pickford has organized a company of her own, with features to be distributed inde pendently, , Miss Clark will still be a featured Paramount star, while the ad dition of other talent means that the programme will be strengthened," says Mr. Wobber. "Marguerite Courtot. the Waltons, the Pickfords, Owen Moore, Louise Huff; "Vivian Martin and Ann Pennington, with Kathlyn Williams as the newest star, will be among the newer stars presented this Fall In a series of splendid dramatio offerings."
