Says the Coos Bay Times: Not a few of Captain Olson's friends were awaiting for him this morning when the Alliance drew up to anchor in Coos Bay. "Congratulations." "How is Mrs. Olson," "Where is Mrs. Ol son" and "Is there really and truly a Mrs. Olson," were a few of the rapid fire expressions that greeted him as a score or more rushed forward to grasp his hand. "There's nothing to it yet and I wish I knew who started the report," retorted Captain Olson, smiling des pite the bother that had been occa sioned by someone starting the report that he was secretly wed in Portland a few weeks ago'. While everyone here is willing to vouch for the truth and veracity of Captain Olson's statements, ordinar ily, some claim that under circum stances like the present ones, it might be possible for him to deviate slightly now and they are still wondering whether or not there is reall a Mrs. Olson. AT THE ASTORIA AND I1AGER THEATRE The owners of the steamer Break water have chartered the City of Panama to place in regular commis sion between Portland and Coos Bay, while the former is being repair ed. Announcement is made by the Portland & Coos Bay Steamship Co. that the Panama will arrive in Port land from San Francisco the, early part of next week, to go out on the Breakwater's run. As near as it can be , judged by those who have looked her over, it will take close to two months to make the necessary repairs to the Breakwater. The work to her will be done at San Francisco. She started down the river last night. ' i A dispatch from San Pedro says the steamer Roanoke arrived from Portland with 45 passengers . and 850 tons of freight. The Roanoke report ed rough weather and heavy seas. On the voyage, crossig the bar at Eureka, the Roanoke shipped a heavy sea which tore away a part of her rail and did minor damage to her house. The contract for the completion of tire repairs of the steamer Lurline called for the work to be done not later than June 20. It is understood the contractor, who has not yet fin ished the job, is now paying $15 a day penalty money for the delay, and the work may not be completed for a week or two yet. The steamer Northland arrived in yesterday from San Francisco with 180 tons of salt on board for the Union Fishermen's Co-operative Co. of Astoria. ' The British steamer Ascot with a partial load of lumber for Sydney ob tained at Eureka, arrived here yes terday and will finish loading here. The oil tank steamer Maverick with cargo for the Standard Oil Co., left up the river yesterday. The George W. Elder leaves out this morning at 5 o'clock on her trip down the coast. The Dreadnaught of the United States life saving service was in the harbor yesterday. The Eureka went out yesterday morning for Eureka. DRISCOLL COMPANY MAY TURN OUT THE SPEEDIEST SMALL CRAFT ON COLUM BIA RIVER. The T. L. Driscoll Boat Company on Twenty-second street will soon turn out what ought to prove one of the very fastest launches on the Co lumbia river. The hull will be finish ed by Saturday night, it is expected, and the engine is now on the way and should be here within a few days. Messrs. Driscoll, Carruthers and Judd are interested in the new launch. It is planned to enter the boat in the Fourth of July regatta at Port land if she can be got ready in time, and if the engine arrives here within a reasonable time before the Fourth every effort will be made to have it installed and every final detail com pleted. The Driscoll boat wil be 41 feet over all in length, six feet beam, and will carry a 30 horsepower Do man engine, ordered from Oshkosh, Wis. She will be an open boat, and it is expected that she can easily handle 30 passengers without crowd ing. While she is being built for speed, still, as is usual in such cir cumstances, everything is not being sacrificed for speed alone and there seems no reason why she should not make a first-class passenger boat. "If the engine turns out to be as the manufacturers guarantee," said Mr. Driscoll, yesterday, "we ought to have the fastest boat of its size on the river. The manufacturers guarantee at least 25 miles an hour, and we na turally expect the boat to make that at least." She will be copper fastened, using teak wood in the construction and will cost upwards of $2000. The Driscoll Company is also build ing a boat for P. J. Brix, the lumber man across the river. The Brix boat will be 32 feet long with a 8-foot beam and will make eleven or twelve miles. She will be out next week. There are eight men at work in the Driscoll shops and all are kept busy.

MISSOULA, Mont., June 25 James Hay was locked up in the county jail yesterday on a statement that while a private in the British Army, he had murdered a corporal named Joseph Walsh at the St. Louis Barracks, near Quebec, about eight years ago. His mind is believed to be affected. LARGE CROWDS TURN OUT TO TO SEE "SAPHO" AT BOTH OF THE POPULAR PLAY-HOUSES. ASTORIA THEATRE. The intensely emotional play of Sapho held the boards at the Astoria Theatre last night and yielded uni fied enjoyment to a large .and cultured audience. It is one of the plays that invokes the interest and challenges the social judgment, which ' renlains undetermined and unexpressed until its very finale. Miss Georgia Harper made an ideal Sapho and her por trayal of the complex and beautiful study lost nothing of the depth and mystery and tenderness with which Dandet invested it. It is purely Pa risian in conception, plot, detail; but rich in all the passions that swept humanity and make the happiness and misery of love mostly its misery. It sounds all the depths and shallows of lite and solves many of its enigmas, but leaves its central and most en grossing problem, woman, just where the creator left her, exquisite, baffling, alluring, incomprehensible; yet al ways and forever dorminant. The play must be seen to be dealt with justly; and it is worth the best study that can be given it. Miss Harper gives all her excep tional talent to the character and is very fascinating in the marvelous var iations demanded of her. She is splendidly supported throughout and especialy by Mr. Jos. Detrick, as Jean Gaussin, the young, country-bred lover and genuine man. The play sparkles with wit and hu mor and clever situations which not only charm one, but relieve the ten sion of profound interest excited by the startlingly realistic features of it. There is no lack of interest at any point and in the hands of this clever troupe, affords a delightful and oh sorbing entertainment for an evening or a matinee. HAGERS THEATRE. "Sapho", a dramatization of Dau det's celebrated novel was the play presented at the Hagcr theatre last night. Although the attendance was not as large as the one that greeted the company's opening play last Monday evening, still the house was comfortably filled. Miss Branscombe was in the previous play the whole show and in the part of Fanny Le Grande (Sapho) was fine. The role in this piece taken by Miss Brans combe is greatly different from her part in "The Sheriff" and in view of this fact, it gave her much- opportun ity to display her versatility. The gowns worn by her throughout the performance were beautiful and were greatly admired, especially by the women present. Herbert Ashton who took the part of Sapho's lover, Jean Gaussin, met with the approval of the audience. The remainder of the cast were well balanced and gave a good portraiture of their respective parts. SITUATION IMPROVING it LOXDON, June 25 A private messages from Teheran say that the situation is improving and is well in hand.

Mining engineers have performed) an ingenious and gratifying feat in , literally "sinking a nunc shaft ncar( Wilkesbarre, Pa. In an illustrated ar-j tide in the July Popular Mechanics j Wm. C. Richardson describes thej construction as follows: i "A shaft wall or caisson of rein forced concrete is being built above ground and allowed to sink by its own weight through the soft soil, In which are layers of gravel, iiicksand and clay, until solid rock is struck some 80 feet below. When the rock is reached it will be quarried out in the usual way and, should not the cut ting shoe find a level resting place, it will be blocked up and all the in terstices poured full of cement to form a water-tight joint. The total depth of the shaft, as now contem plated .will he 800 feet. "In sinking the shaft, the first oper ation was to construct a steel cutting shoe, oblong in shape, 59 ft. 6in., by 28 ft. Its outer extremity was of 1-2 in. steel horizontal plate, 2 ft. wide, to act as a shelf for the concrete, which tapers from a width of 24 in. at the bottom to 7 in. at the top. "First a pit, 15 ft. in depth, was dug, into which the cutting shoe wasi placed, the bottom of the pit being made perfectly level to receive it. The molds or forms for the concrete were erected on the shelf within the shoe and the walls built in the customary manner to a height of 20 ft. When these became sufficiently hardened the earth was dug away from within the shoe, and as the excavation progres sed the weight of the walls forced the steel cutting edge gradually down ward. By placing the molds on top of the hardened walls and repeating the operation, the cutting shoe has been driven down until it is expected that the entire shaft will be complet ed in time for coal to be mined next winter. "In all, some ,3,000 cu. yd. of con crete and 145 tons of reinforcinf steel will be used in the walls, which will be carried up 15 or 20 ft. above ground, so that, even when the sur rounding fields are under water there will be no danger of the river enter ing the shaft. "When completed, the shaft will be divided into three sections, the first to accomodate two' cages for hoist ing coal, the second for a pump and ladderway, and the third for an up cast airway. It is estimated that the cost of the shaft will be $200,000, of YOU NAME THE PRICE You can afford to pay for STRAWBERRIES TO CAN Then leave your order with us and when they reach your price we'll deliver to you high grade berries.

TRAINING FOR THE CHILD The child of one to six is in the myth stage of literature. The one imperative is implicit obedience. This is to be taught through stories which give contact with life at many points The questioning age is at its height at four. The myth gives abstract truths in concrete form. It furnishes symbols of moral truths. The first eleven chapters of Genesis are for the little child. Each one is another story. No mother should be without "Telling Bible Stories" by Louise Seymour Houghton. There is an art in story telling and we may have time for that later. Stories widen . the circle of ideas, awaken and feed the imagination. All the evils of secrecy, lying, greed and impurity may be put out by stories. Re ware 'during this earliest period of attempting to con vey information. Moral influence is the motive required. Do not go be yond the intellectual' and moral level of this period. Revel in fairy stories and mvths. You are feeding a baby and convey the moral impressions without any hint of moralizing. Never tag a moral to a story for children of any age, it cancels the hoped for effect. Sink your lesson weighted with a good story and it meets with no resistance. The quest ion for you' is. "What emotion do I seek to produce?" Select your stor ies carefully. Do not invite awe, but reverence and admiration for ethical quality. The literary material for this period is in the form of myth, fairy stories, nature stories, fables. His in terests are people, animals, trees. Conciotisness of self (me) comes later.
