Steamers having arrived from San Fran,
Cisco during the week report terrific seas,
and shipping men will express little sur
prise on hearing of the Leggett losing
her tow. It la now feared that if the
storm continues, the raft will break up
and scatter logs along the coast in the
Iath of shipping, to the grave danger of
lives and property.
The raft is one of the largest ever sent
out of the Columbia River, its dimensions
being: length, 700 feet; beam, .52 feet:
lepth, 26 feet. It was constructed at
Btella for the Hammond Lumber Com
pany, and contains approximately 10,000,000
feet of piling.

GREAT CEMENT INDUSTRY
EASTERN SYNDICATE GETS OPTION
ON. PROPERTIES, . .
They Are Located In Oregon, -Washington
and California and Millions
May Be Invested.
Henry Spackman. of Philadelphia,
waa Iri Portland yesterday with Frank
L. Brown, of San Francisco, In the in
terests of a syndicate that plans to
invest millions in the development of
the cermmt industry on the Pacific
Coast. Deposits of cement in Oregon,
Washington and California are being
secured by the syndicate, which Is com
posed of leading capitalists of the East
who expect to invest nearly J5,i00,300 -4
In the properties.
Engineers will arrive on the Coast
this Summer from the East to look over
the deposits and verify the flattering
reports that have been sent to the men
Interested. Options have been taken
In many localities and as soon as
plans for the development of the prop
erties are approved by those Interested,
plants , will be . erected for the manu-i
fact tire of cement.
' Location of the properties or the
works cannot be announced until ar
rangements for taking over the bold-,
inga by the Eastern syndicate are fulljf
perfected. Experts who were sent her
some time ago located promising -cement
properties and it Is believed that
the ultimate investment by Eastern
capitalists will be limited only by the
possibilities of the industry. . .

CHILDREN REVEL IN DELIGHTS OF DAY NURSERY
While Mothers Are at Work, They Are Cared For by Matron and Volunteer Nurses.
DOWN In an unpretentious house at 13
North Fifth street eight little tads
are brought every morning - bright
and early by eight devoted mothers. The
little ones seem glad to get there. They
know that there Is a bright day . ahead,"
with good care, plenty to eat, a cosy
place to sleep and such a lot of other
tots for company. The day passes before
they know it, and then come the mothers
again to take them away home for a lonf
night's sleep. It is a routine that keeps
the eight representatives of a coming
generation in the happiest frame of mind
so that they do not get any little glimpses
of a hard world such as they may or may
not see plenty of later on. The children
of billionaires can be no more content.
Such is the work of the new day nursery
recently opened and for which success is
already assured. The ladles of the Fruit
and Flower Mission, who conduct this
nursery, have tilled a need that will prove
a boon to many working mothers. They
have made it possible for mothers who
are compelled to earn a livelihood to
solve the difficult problem of caring for
their children during the long hours of
work.
Although In the first month of Its ex
istence, the nursery has accomplished
much, and its field of usefulness Is rapid
ly widening. Mothers of the poorer
classes who hung back at first are b
coming interested, and there is every pros
pect that the nursery will shortly be filled
up to its capacity of 30 children. -
The charity is a broad one and of the
most worthy of Portland's many .charit
able undertakings. While similar institu
tions are maintained in most of the larger
cities of the country. It is an innovation
to Portland.
The Idea of the nursery. In a word, is to
care for the children of working mothers
during the hours they are employed. No
children are kept during; the night, hours
being from 7 A. M. until 7 P. M. Mothers
are required to bring their children in
the morning and to call for tbem. The
age limit is trom birth to ( years. ' A
small fee of 10 cent's a day Is charged.'.- .
The . care of the little lones .devolves
upon volunteer nurses. These volunteers
are recruited from among the city's best
known young women, and In mtiny in
stances are the same as serve at the Peo
ple's Institute. The duties of the volun
teer nurses'are to look after all the wants
of the children. This work is supervised
by the matron. Mrs. Klla F. Hedrick. who
Is titled by wide experience for the work.
The volunteers are able to earn much ex
perience that may prove of great value to
them at some later period.
All the 3i members of the Fruit and
Fhower Mission can be railed for this

Steamers Aurelia and Break
water Conquer Elements.
ARRIVE FROM THE BAY CITY
Officers of the Anrella Lost Homes
In the" San Francisco Fire, and
Bring Their Families
to Portland. '
The steamers Aurelia and Breakwater
arrived here from San Francisco last
night, after having battled with some of
the roughest weather ever recorded along
the coast. For four days and nights the
two coasters hugged the shore so closely
that land was always plainly in view, or
they would probably never have reached
their destination. The wind being off
shore made the sea comparatively smooth
near shore, although out to sea the waves
ran mountains high. A continuous gale
from the northwest held the vessels back
all the way from the Golden Gate to the
Columbia-River bar. and there was not a
minute's let up. It was a steady "blow,
with increasing velocity, If anything.
The Aurelia reached the bar shortly
after midnight yesterday, and, aided by
the light of the moon, she .crossed In and
leached Astoria before daybreak. She made
the Oak-street dock at 6 o'clock last night
and landed about a dozen passengers and
abont 50 tons of paint, the only freight
brought from the Bay City this trip. She
will go to the Portland Lumber Com
pany's mills Monday to load a full cargo
of lumber for -Oakland.
The Breakwater reached Astoria in the
forenoon, and arrived at Ainsworth dock
at 9 o'clock last night, where she dis
charged a few hundred tons of sugar. She
will load general merchandise at Oak
street dock for Eureka, for which port
she will probably sail Tuesday.
Captain Brickson and Chief Engineer
B. B. Bullene, of the Aurella, brought
their families to locate here, both having
lost everything in the San Francisco Are,
Among those who. came up on the steamer
wer Fred Russell, of Russell & Rogers,
owners of the Aurelia, and wife. Mr.
Russell is here to look after the firm's in
t.ereat, and Aire. Russell came along to
rest up after the trying ordeal incident
to the earthquake.
"Our Arm escaped with little loss," said
Mr. Russell, "and we consider ourselves
fortunate. Indeed. Our office was de
stroyed, .but .the contents of the - safe
were found Intact, so we shall have no
trouble in handling our accounts. We
"have established new offices in our ware
house building at Fifthr and Berry streets
and are getting ready for business.
"San Francisco will build up along the
old plans, and in general new San Fran
cisco will be much like the old city. al-.
though the business structures will be
more up to date, as a whole. At first
cheap structures will be erected to house
the homeless merchants, but as soon as
things get somewhat Into shape large
Bteel structures will spring up along the
well-known and popular thoroughfares.
"An army of. I, should say, 10,000 men
has already begun clearing the streets of
debris, and some of the street-car lines
have resumed service On account of the
condition of affairs at San Francisco, our
firm will pay off ' our-crews In Portland
for some time to come."
On her Jast trip south the Aurelia
reached San Francisco on the Saturday
following the earthquake, and her lumber
cargo was confiscated by the Government
authorities.
Schoolteacher Is Robbed.
Mary S. Kane, a schoolteacher
from La Center, Wash., was robbed
of J60 at the St. Charles hotel
Friday night. . but retained the
greater part of the- money which she
had brought to Portland. She reported
to the police yesterday, that she had left
her reticule for a few minutes in one of
the toilet-rooms at the St. Charles and
on returning $60 was gone. In the purse
was a certified check for J100 and $3 in
silver, which was not touched. Detective
Vaughn escorted the teacher to the bank,
where she was supplied with funds. No
trace of the stolen money has been found.
