Broke the bottle "ii wm now or ma steamer and chris tened her Gamecock. By the time the steamer reached the bottom of the ways she gained consTd erahle headway, but In spite of this when she struck (he water she remained on an even keel and floated gracefully and gently to the dock at the west en; of the yards. At the time of the launch ing the surrounding docks and the shipyards were crowded with people who had assembled to witness the affair. Among those who attended were F. B. Jones, president; William E. Jones, sec- LAUNCH lif-iary anu treasurer, ana A. ij. i oiuie, i v,pe president of the towing company. and their families. The Gamecock, which will be ready to begin operating on the river as a tow boat In a week's time, was built (Spe cially for hard service on the shal'ow waters of some parts of the river and the adjoining sloughs, and Is constructed Ith timbers that are as heavy as are ipatlble with that type of craft. She In 160 feet long, S3 feet beam apd $ feet depth of hold, with very powerful engines, and la expected to develop 18 knots an hour without a tow. Mr. Sup ple believes that Hhe Is the finest boat of her type that he has aver turned out. The steamer ' is electric lighted throughout and is equipped with a steam steering gear of shotgun type, which operates the four main rudders and the two monkey rudders, and Is a valuable auxiliary to the hand steering wheel. WILL REMODKL DOCK Sheds to Be Built Over Structure at Supple'. Material for the building of sheds to cover the dock at the Supple Shipyard Is on the ground and construction of them will begin immediately. There will be four of the sheds and .when they are completed it is thought that they will be the only ones of the kind In the harbor. The distinctive feature of the shed which Mr. Supple proposes to place over his dock Is that they rest on in dependent piling which Is in no way connected with the supports of the dock. There w 111 be two of these piling to each nost In the sheds and will be covered I with a cap piece on wnicn me pos. will rent. This will enable them to re pair the dock proper at any time, with out interfering with the sheds, and ll will also take off the added weight which would otherwise rest on the pil ing and timbers of the dock. The sheds will have trussed roofs. There will be four of the sheds, each one facing the river, arid each of the Hccilons will be 46 feet 6 inches In width. They will cover the dock which Is 9S feet wide at one end. 67 feet- at the other end. and 187 feet long, and will be completed In about two weeks. They will be used for receiving cemeut and general merchandise coming In on (he different coasters. A 30 foot chan nel Is now being dredged in front of the dock so that steamers of any size an get in there to discharge their iargo.

Bennett, muniolpar architect, in- spected many Portland school buildings yeaterday. He gave It as an opinion. following the tour, that the problem of schools will be one of the most serious and momentous to be considered to the formulation of plans for the "city beau tiful." "A modern sertoolhouse." said Mr. Bennett, "gives freest possible access to sunshine and air. Gingerbread architec ture, Ingle nooks, 111 chosen locations, are hodge-podge. Choice of location, ample playgrounds, roomy, comfortable and plain construction relate vitally to the welfare of students." .- Bo Criticisms. Mr. Bennett Indulged In no criticisms. "I have come to Portland to help, not to hinder; to build up, not to tear down; to b9 affirmative, not negative, and. least of all, neutral," he said. At the same time It was Impossible to avoid notice of a plain fact that many Portland school buildings are of an anti quated type, injudiciously located, and barren of playgrounds. Sunnyslde school, for Instance, Is sur rounded by livery barns, and little folk sigh wistfully, but In vain, for a playground opportunity, or even a cheering outlook. The new Olencoe school, again, is a massed front of gin gerbread ornamentation, of architecture closely familiar to the "cottage" style, and with a west front appearing as though the building had been sliced In two. "Exteriors govern Interiors," said Mr. Bennett, generalizing. "Ingle nooks and projections and useless forms make for dark corners and poor ventilation within. Sun and air are not given entrance. Playgrounds Important. "I believe properly constructed build ings Important, but playgrounds are no less Important. If you notice, every vacant lot adjacent to schools unpro vided with playgrounds Is overrun by the children. To play Is a primitive in stinct and much stronger than the study Instinct. Children taught to play after a system that will build up their bodies and teach them a bit of physical skill will be quicker students In the school room. What is more important, they will become stronger men and women and better citizens. "It is a splendid Idea if school houses can be built close to public play grounds. One Institution thus coordi nates witb another. On the playground the child is taught to use the body, In the school room to use the mind. That Is the Ideal, too, that governs plans for building a city systematically. Governed by Oeneral Plan. A general plan governs all construc tion. The Ideal of beauty is gradually realized ; it ia found to Be the most practical plan, too. The plain, sensl- We must apologize to the public for our inability to handle the crowds, due to lack of space and being unable to procure sufficient sales men. In order not to offend those unable to purchase a suit on our opening day, A mM mm? rmi v MM' T What it means to any firm to hold a good reputation the public certainly knows, and what good tailoring consists of ;.and as we are ex perts in tailoring, cutting and fitting, you must not miss this great sale of RYAN & O'BRIEN, known the world over, Monday and Tuesday continued two more days to give everybody a chance to get in on this great sale. ALLEGED LOOTERS ARE INVESTIGATED Two Men Accused of Looting ' Freight From Wrecked M v Czarina. (SpenUl Dlapttch to The Journal.) Marsbfleld,, Or., March 19. Captain D. F, A. Deotte of true revenue cutter Rush has completed his Investigation of the charges against Surfmen Chrlst lanson and Taylor of the Coos bay life saving crew. The men are alleged to 4iave looted freight which came ashore at the Csartna wreck. The findings will be annouhced later by the treasury department. Attorneys In the case state that there was probably not suf ficient e vide new against the men to war rant finding them guilty. The port com missioner wanted Captain Deotte to In vestigate the action of the captain of the crew, but he ststed ho could only look Into the looting case according to his instructions, as a result it Is pos sible that specific charges will be made against Captain Uolce of the Life Sav ing crew in order to bring about an Investigation of charges made.' It will be alleged, that the captain did not make sufficient efforts' tn firing the life line and launching the surf boat GOOD ROADS MEETING HELDATW00DBURN (Speel) Dlapatcb to The Journal.) Woodburn. Or.. March 19. Judge Lionel R. Webster, president of th Oregon Good Roads association, ad dressed a good roads meeting In this city this afternoon. Other speakers were County Judge William Bushey Colonel E. Hofer and the chairman. JC. P. Morcom. president of the Woodburn Commercial club. All spoke for early action on the roads and a change of fcystem. Judge Webster explained the different systems, the county bonding system being the most favorably re ceived. The speaker mentioned the dif ferent measures that would be present ed to the legislature and constitutional amendment that will be proposed. bly constructed schoolhouee, for In stance, costs much less than the ex tenslvely ornamental and really hideous elaborate type." Mr. Bennett found It Impossible to assign a name to the architecture used In the construction of some of the schools he saw. He finally said he thought they must be of a "composite" or original type. ine uloncoe school. at East Forty-ninth and H'irnont. was one of those more recently designed and constructed, which attracted his atten tion. Mr. Bennett thought trie new Jefferson high school the best appearing of all the schools In the city. He visited Wash ington high school and exclaimed won- deringly over the double entrances to study rooms, where doors are locked be hind the students and kept closed by time lock until the pupils are dismissed at noon and then again in the after noon.

Presiding Judge Morrow listened to the recitations of an unusually alow class In citizenship yesterday. Five of the candidates made their way through the examination and were h1 lowed to take the oath, but a larger number stumbled fearfully. They had such small knowledge of the government of their adopted land that the Judge postponed their cases and advised them to post up. Aohllle Segher's retltion was dis missed because he has taken up gov ernment land In Tillamook county and Is outside the Jurisdiction of the Mult nomah .circuit court. David Hggen berger was rejected because his proof was Insufficient and Mat (luthbert has a land claim In Clackamas county, mak ing It necessary for him to abandon hla petition. Those admitted to citizenship were Hyman Philip Taylor, Johan A. Daniel Son. Angelo Ambfoslo. Nela F. Noren and Anton Edward Bertelson. The ap plications of Martin Kaufman, Peter A. Doctor, Domlnlk Zornvlch, Edward Erlckson, George Kalagralns and Ram Makrls were continued to give them an opportunity to learn more about Ameri can Institutions.

This deal will make the farmers Independent, as they can then hold their grain without paying excessive storage charges, and can take advantage of higher prices. This move has been greatly desired f ears and comes at an opportune time, us the pros pects are excellent for a bumper crop. The warehouse company will be left without a warehouse, as the farmers art to take possession a I the close of the wool setison. WtiPther they will build again, or not has not been decided, but for the present at least they will re tain their office here. BILLY SULLIVAN IN GRAVEST OF DANGER Los Angeles. March 19.
