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-

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."

Marguerite Clark in "Miss Bigamist"
as the final flve-reeler of the month.
Other features with the players are:

Lewis J. Selznlck, the man who
formed the Clara Kimball Young Film
Corporation and later Identified himself
with Herbert Brenon for the direction
of subjects featuring Nazimova, Mary
Garden and other big stars, has closed
negotiations for the control of a series
of pictures featuring Kitty Gordon.
A distinct feature of this announce
ment is the news that G. M. Anderson,
known to the film world as "Broncho
Billy." formerly of Essanay ownership,
will be directpr-ln-chief of the Kitty
Gordon productions. The pictures will
be made at Fort Lee, , where Clara
Kimball . Young' has Just finished "The

The New Day.
The vision of a new day in the mov

ness will resolve Itself Into two or
three great releasing companies, is al
ready approaching fulfillment, accord

C. R Seelye, business manager of
Pathe. featured in the Cleveland

recent alliances quietly formed by sev

Seelye said. "The last one to come
under our standard was Thanhauser.
Several others are negotiating with
us.
Mr. Spplve Indicated that it would
serve also to stop the present cut

of the present enormous salaries and
permit exhibitors and others in the
business to obtain a fairer return .on

Nance O'Xell AVHh McClure.
Nance O'Neil. the distinguished
actress whose marriage to Alfred Hick
man was announced last week, has still
another announcement to make. She
has signed with MoClure Pictures. This
makes the third important capture by
McClure's In less than three weeks
Ann Murdock, Holbrook Blinn and Miss
O'Neill.
Nance O'Neill's previous releases have
been on the Fox, V. L. S. E. and Metro
programmes. Hers is one of the few
names known to every theatergoer In
the small towns as well as the big
cities, as she has elected to play at the
head of her own traveling company In
repertoire, rather than sacrifice her art
to long runs In single parts on Broad
way a policy which has made her a
big box office attraction In pictures.
New York, however, will never forget
her acting In David Belasco's "The
Lily."
Miss O'Neill begins work In a Mc
Clure picture on September 25. fol
lowing the completion .of her present
contract. The name of the new play
is "Greed."
Screen Gossip.
Joseph J. Dowllng, the character ac
tor who plays the part of Count d'Orr

One of the most sympathetitc "moth
ers" in motion pictures is Mrs. L. Ford,
who appears in "God's Half Acre." the
Metro-Rolfe masterpiece starring Ma
bel Taliaferro. Mrs. Ford is seen as
a mother in "Gloria's Romance" with
Billie Burke and in different Pauline
Frederick films. On the dramatic stage
Mrs. Ford was with Richard Mans
field, with Billie Burke in "Tne Run

"An Old New Yorker."
