IRON WORKS PULLS
RIG STUNT,


From the embers of an old barge,
years ago condemned as unsea-
worthy, the Johnson Iron Works is
employing $50 men to put into COM
mission two oil barges for the Gulf
Refining Company OF Port Arthur.
Texas. Both OF these oil barges,
resurrected from the old unsea-
worthy barge, will cost the Gulf Re-
filming company $350,O00.
This old barge was formerly a
transfer boat of the Frisco railroad,
a side-wheeler, with stern and rud-
der at each end, hull $50 long by
Al feet beam, and 120 feet deep.
Years ago, while operating as a
transfer boat, this barge broke amid
ships. 1t was promptly condemned
and dismantled, the available ma
chinery taken off, and in ship con-
struction terms, thoroughly strip
ped" except the iron hull.
For long time this barge lay idle.
With the war came a demand for
derelicts which brought to light the
| old barge soon TO bring $3.50, 900.
1t has since passed inspection of the
Bureau Veritas, our American mar
thine agency equivalent to Lloyds.
Then it occurred to the engineers
of the Johnson Iron Works that
something could be done with this
old barge Since it had been con-
demned in one length, that is, its
$50 feet was not in proportion to its
general fragility, the local engi-
neers decided upon a plan which
commands attention in engineering
circles.
They decided to cut the old barge
in two parts. add 65 feet of model
bow, make it four feet deeper. The
finished job will show two sea-going
oil barges, each 252 feet long by Al
feet beam and 16 feet deep.
The building of these two oil
barges was commenced the past May
work going on necessarily. Latest
word from the Johnson Iron Works
! was that the new bow end is near
ing completion and that within a few
weeks this bow end, safely secured
by steel bulkheads. will be afioat
| Last week a large force of men were
employed especially TO arrange the
launching. When the success of the
launching is determined, both parts
will be placed in dry dock, after
which the rest of the incidental work
such as piping, etc., will be done.
Each of the new oil barges mean!
use of 500 tons of steel. And stee
and iron, like gasoline. are no
bought for song.
Another fact of interest and env!
for shrapney makers and submarine
| contractors is that more than 140,
600 steel rivets are employed il
making the new oil barges. Accord
ing to Engineer Warren Johnson
materials used in construction cos
more than four cents a pound, com
pared with the one and one-hal
cents before the war.
Rejuvenating Two More.
The Johnson iron works, beside!
creating the two vessels out of tn,
old barge, is also at work upon tn,
regeneration of two ships which 70,
a long time have been on the scray
heap. The plan re Guadalupe,
which arrived here as a transpor
for the Mexican government, now il
the property of the New Orleans ant
New York Steamship Company. New
engines have been installed and tn,
iron works company is overhaul
ing the entire vessel.
The company also is rebuilding TO
the New Orleans-New York company
the steamer st. Charles.

Basketball has the floor for the
time being in the gym. Very few of
the boys have had any real experience
at this game and hence il is all up
hill work. The Abbott brothers are
taking to it well and show great
speed and fighting qualities, both
great requisites in this game. Dan
Ford is fast developing into an ac-
curate goal shooter. Ed Ford is COM
ing along nicely. Owen Linquist tried
his hand at it Monday night. He
surprised himself and all others by
his clever work Others are gradu-
ally rounding into shape and soon
the usual Wednesday games will be
started. Some of the juniors playing
with the seniors make the games in
teresting through their gameness.
They stand up before their larger OPP
ponents and fight them tooth and
nail. They are about ready to take
on anybody in their class and look
for some game when they get agoing.

The city council will meet this eve- ming in accordance with the resolution of last week making the meetings weekly instead of bi-monthly. It is expected that the pumping plant ques- ton will be settled to some extent at tonights session and what action will be taken by the city dads is the cause of considerable speculation. Ii is the general opinion that the coun cil has little or no prospect that the proposed pumping plant can be estab- lished during the present summer and will, therefore, sign up with the com- pany. The council may, however, as- sume a different view.

In pursuance of the declared inten- tion of the federal authorizes to SUD- press the red light district, the min- ions of the law descended on the dis trict at 2;30 Sunday morning and ar rested sixteen women who for some unexplained reason had forsaken the residences about town to which they had betaken themselves following the official pronouncement several weeks ago declaring the district closed. The marshals rounded up all but three of the women in the district, one of whom was ill, and the others evidently overlooked. The rest were hailed into the precincts of the law and such as did not have their bail money ready were held until friends secured their release. Nine of the women put mp cash bail and the remainder were later released under bonds fur nished by a number of business men. The women were all charged with keeping a bawdy house, and hearing was set for ten o'clock today at the commissioners court
