Miss Ainsworth was named to repre

the request of Irving M. Scott, man
ager of the Union Iron works at that
time. Miss Shelby was selected by
Mayor Mason. The mayor and all the
councilmen accepted the Invitation to
attend the launching In a body.
"It was a great day," commented N. J.
Levinson of Portland, who was on the
San Francisco Call at that time and
remembered well the occasion, yester
day. "The Oregon was the best ship
In our navy In tho days of her prime.
At the time set for the launching Im
mense crowds lined the shores of the

scription. I should eay there were at
least 30.000 people witnessing the
event. The launching itself? Well.,
she just elid into the water. That's
all."'
Dash to Cuba Recalled,
The famous exploit which made the
Oregon spoken, of with affection In
every American home was her 14,500
mile dash for Cuba. There was no wire- .
less in those days and nothing was
heard of the vesFel for weeks. She was
plowing through seas infested with
Spanish torpedo boats part of the time
and America ngurativeiy neia lis
breath during the perilous passage.
It was not alone the arrival of the
Oregon at Santiago "fit to fight" that
made this event memorable. It was the
fact that it set minds In America to
thinking with the ultimate result that
the Panama canal was built to reduce :
the Isolation of the Pacific coast, in
case of war.
Sonthem Voyage Stormy,
On February 16. 1898, the day after
the Maine was blown up In Havana
harbor, the Oregon came out of dry
dock at Bremerton. She proceeded di
rect to San Francisco where she took on
provisions for six months and on March
19 started out of the Golden Gate and
headed south. The voyage down the
coast was stormy but the good ship
drove through the seas, passing through
the Straits of Magellan and put Into Rio

Speaking of the forthcoming report.
Dr. Schafer said:
'Dr. Knowlton and I believe that our

will broaden children's knowledge 'of

sequence. Impart a truer knowledge of
American history and life; It will shift
the emphasis somewhat from the too
purely political history to the social.

pect of American life; finally, it will
result In a much more definite and, we
think, more adequate training for citl

Dr. Schafer will attend a conference

SEATTLE, Wash.. April 27. (Special.)
That a cure for the unrest among the
people of the nation and a safeguard
against the spread of bolshevism lies
In educating the people of tne unitea
States musically, was the opinion ex
pressed by George W. Pound, general
counsel and manager of the Music In-
dustrie Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, at a meeting of the mu
sic dealers of western Washington held
in the Masonic club of the Arcade last
night.
Music makes better citizens, happier.
brighter homes, more contented men
and women and more substantial sons
and daughters." Mr. Pound said. "We
must convert America to the ways of
music and make it not only the great
est musical Instrument manufacturing
country of the world, but the most
music-loving country In the universe.
Too much is taught with the eye In our
present age, and far too little with the
ear.
Truer words were never spoken than
music hath charms to soothe the sav
age beast. Bolshevism represents ig
norance, music culture. Kaise the
standards of bolshevists by the agency
of music and you will eventually stamp
it out."
Because of his faith in what music
could do for the country, Mr. Pound
carried on a campaign in Washington,
D. C, to see that music was carried to
the soldier. Regimental bands were in
creased from 28 to 60 as a result of
these efforts, and musical instruments
were sent to all the army camps in the
United States and overseas. Two thou
sand trench pianos, of a special make.
were taken into the trenches in France.
The men were brought together to sing.
PLANES TO HUNT WHALES
Suggestion of Station Manager Is
Declared Feasible.
ABERDEEN, Wash., April 27. (Spe
cial.) Catching whales by means of
airplanes, a suggestion made a short
time ago by Victor Street, former
whaling station manager, but regarded
as chimerical, is not to be ecoffed at
according to George Le Marquard,
present manager of the Bay City sta
tion.
Captain Marquard says the airplane
will be valuable in locating schools of
whales and notifying the hunting ships,
rather than killing the whales with
airplane guns.
In the early part of the season, says
the captain, 'it is difficult to locate
whale schools. With an airplane wire
less, he says, much better results could
be gained than by whalers.
