"Slake It Possible for TJ to Do Busi ness With Yon and We Will," - LakeTiew Man Says. "While we are part and parcel of the great and progressive state that was among the first-to recognize the virtues of statement No. 1 and non partisan 'politics, the average' Lake County inhabitant can draw but one little distinction between Portland and Petrograd commercially we know neither of you." This adroit summing' up of the situa tion, under the present conditions of railroad facilities between Lakeview and Portland, is contained in a letter which has been received by the West ern Produce Company, of Portland, from V. L. Snelllng, of 4e Lakeview Mercantile Company, in response to one of its trade letters. "We fully agree with you. regarding the advantages that Portland has to offer, yet. in order to reach you with a carload of spuds, we would be com pelled to buy them an excursion ticket with positive instructions printed across the top, 'See California First,' and then start them on an 1100-mile Journey across two beautiful mountain ranges,- before, we would be able to greet you in our immense metropolis in the Willamette Valley. "'Theoretically a car of Lake County produce should go from Lakeview to Portland by power of gravity, with no mountain range lying between, yet all our produce climbs a 7000-foot summit of the Sierra Nevadas and lands in San Francisco. "Tie up with us commercially or at least make it possible for us to do business with you, and then write us again." SIXTH STOLENCAR FOUND Difficulty in Establishing Owner ship Is Encountered.

IN V DHCATJLD List Grows Steadily of Carriers Gone That Loaded - Here in -Past. Iiivercauld, British bark, from Gulf port for Fleetwood, was sunk by a sub marine about February 23. That record in the New Tork Mari time Register relative to a windjammer known here and which has been num bered in former days with the square rigged grain fleet, is an illustration of how commonplace such disasters have become since the opening of the Euro pean war. There have been a number of the sailing fleet to go down because of the submarine activity. In fact, along the waterfront such frequent reports of ships that have been loaded here cause less comment than if, before the war, one of them had piled up ashore.

In dumping; 327.000 tons of rock along the north ' jetty in the next three months, thereby completing a contract that called for the delivery of 650,000 tons in all. It is hoped by Major H. C Jewett, Corps of Engineers, U. S. A.. to complete that project, regardless of the failure of Congress to pass the rivers and harbors bill. Already there have been in excess of 3,000,000 tons of rock distributed along the jetty trestle, and it is be lieved that the jetty ts now exercising a material influence over water at the entrance to the Columbia. Money is available for finishing the rock con tract, and taking care of the force and equipment. Pending further appropria tions the trestle can be kept in repair, so if additional rock is deemed neces sary litter, its distribution could be carried on. With the fact the dredge Columbia can be - worked during the - season at the mouth of the Columbia, there be ing funds on hand for that; that the pipeline dredges Wahkiakum and Mult nomah can be sent out after the June freshet to clear some of the cuts, while the dredge Col. P. S. Michle can worll at least until the end of June on the Coos Bay bar and other Coast projects carried on, these prospects take the sting to some extent fom the delay ln obtaining additional finances. It is estimated that March 15 tbeJ pipeline dredge Wahkiakum will have ended her work at Henricl's, and she will then be laid up at the Government moorings, the dredge Multnomah fol lowing suit shortly afterward, when she completes the cut at Pillar Rock. While iald up they will be thoroughly overhauled. The dredge Monticello. now in Lewis River, will be ordered to the moorings March 15, funds for her Operation be ig exhausted. Men in her crew will get plages on the dredge Chinook, ex pected to be ln commission May 1, also assisting in finishing the concrete wall to divide the Oregon City locks from private property. At the latter place there will not be money available for deepening the locks. The dredge Clat sop, engaged in the estuary of the Co lumbia, will be continued for the pres ent. ' In the First Portland District Major Fries will probably have to curtail operations on the Upper Columbia and Snake rivers shortly. There is some money on hand for Crater Lake Na tional Park road building, but not enough for the season, and if more is not forthcoming in the sundry civil bill that project will have to wait. The dredge Michle, operated by that office, is being overhauled here, and will probably get started at Coos Bay about April 1. SHIP ORDERS ARE NUMEROUS Alblna Plant Declines New Work Until Early Contracts Start. In the ' f reniied scramble for new steel steamers to be used ln the off shore trade, the Albina Engine & Ma chine Works has been offered choice new contracts, but so far the manage ment has refused to entertain proposi tions, preferring to confine operations for the present to the construction of six smaller carriers, two of 3300 tons and four of 3800 tons, the first of which will be laid down shortly. ' It is said every ship construction plant ln the United States engaged in steel work has been approached to han dle some of the new contracts from British owners, particularly the Cunard line, and many of them have been tak en. It will be 10 to 12 months before the Alblna plant will have .Its fleet of six advanced so more can be laid. down with assurance of speedy completion. The plant and yard is rated among the best on the Coast and, while starting with small ships, will be equipped to build large steamers being handled by others. ' Mrs. W. J. Gray Dies.
