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.

county jail yesterday on a statement
that while a private in the British

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

"SINKING" A MINE SHAFT.
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

which the concrete work will cost

ing fans, each with a capacity of 350,

installed, one for regular use and the
other for emergency cases.
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. Helen Rhodes 'in July Nautilus.
