HARBOR PAXS ARE SHAPING FULL CARGO IS ON BOARD Commission to Discuss Future Pro THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, NOVE3IBER 19. 1918. -YAQ1 Willamette Iron & Steel Torks to Fit One Eight More Ships, Be ginning; With West Zeds. West Wyska is the name of the 17th steel freighter which the Willamette Iron A Steel Works has equipped with machinery and completed under a con tract with the Northwest Steel Com pany. The craft will leave the plant today for Its official trial trip. West Wyska is the fourth name selected for the ship. Originally she was one of eight Tea eels ordered from the Northwest Steel Company by the French government and the contract indicated she was to be christened Meuse, but when ships on the ways and those under contract were requisitioned by the American irovernment, on entering the war, the West Yaquina was indicated as the name. On being launched the ahip was christened West Kyska, and now West Wyska is her title. Trial Trips Are Different. The West View, a sister ship, was given a trial of six hours in the river yesterday, but the West Wyska must proceed to sea and steam for r2 hours outside, though both are to be assigned to the Navy. The reasons one is sent into deep water for her endurance run and the other was tested inland is not known. Both vessels were ordered tested under different conditions than ships of the same size and type in the past. In, that full cargoes were loaded Instead of only about one-third of their . capacity being filled as before. It is said the Willamette Iron A Steel Works will fit out eight ships more. - beginnlnr with the West Zed a, which ta now having machinery installed. Vessels floated later will be fitted out by the Northwest Steel Company at its new plant, adjoining the main yard on the north. Large Fleet Im Water. Recently the Willamette interests en- : tered into a contract with the G. M. . Standifer Construction Corporation to fit out sis of the latter's wood steam ers, and the third of that fleet is now at the plant The Standifer force launched six vessels July 12 and, with others already in the water, the fleet was too large to fit out expeditiously, so six were assigned to the Willamette. Future vessels, both wood and steel, launched by the Standifer crews, will be fitted out at Vancouver. The steel yard is to have an exceptionally well equipped plant for finishing the ships and a dock built for the purpose will accommodate two of the 9500-ton ves sels at time. CHAPTER MARKET AWAKENING More Vessels to Be Placed on List of Tonnage for Lumber Two vessels are to be named today to load lumber here for the Far East and it Is reasoned by shippers that , their fixture Is the forerunner of con iderable new life In engagements for handling lumber, as the ending of the - war releases tonnage that has been used in carrying nitrates from the - West Coast and It is expected some will be in the market for charter. The Coast-owned sailing and auxiliary fleet has been engaged well in advance ' ever since the war began, being taken - for lumber outbound and most of them . have returned to the Coast with cargo. Of two auxiliaries in the river the Sierra proceded here from VTestport -last night to fUl and she will sail her fuel oil tanks I in a few days for . China. The Lassen moved from Linn- ton to the North Pacifio mill to con tinue working lumber yesterday and will finish either at St. Johns or Rainier. rT?TV T"Sf!4PT,Ci TtfTR'VTVfl STTTP I Five Men, wearing Only Under-1 clothes.

VJ gramme at Today's Session. Part of the details of the harbor de velopment fostered by the Commission of Publio Docks are to be discussed at an adjourned meeting of that body this morning. There will be considered a few routine matters, as well, but the probabilities are that most of the ses sion will be devoted to the considera tion of an outline of the work. The Commission notified the Port ind Harbor Facilities Commission of I the Shipping Board about 10 days ago that it eoon would be ready to take up J the matter of receiving suggestions aal to what was deemed most essential for immediate consideration on behalf of I shipping expected to be taken care of in the near future.

According; to the McCormlclc Steamship of the internal combustion angina on the city or Portland amounts to more man ou size and draft. Officials of tha company aald today that the bollnders on tha vessel rare a bit of trouble the first trip or two because It waa difficult to set the tight kind of men la the engine department. They attempted to operate with, the regu lation steamship engineer and this not satisfactory. Regular gas "skinners' were then employed, and after a bit tinkering the new organisation adopted the tolinders ' as the average American does an automobile, and since that time th engines have run smooth as silk and given excellent service. The vessel has consumed an average of enly 22 barrels of oil a day. as against more than GO barrels when the vessel was a steamer. Tha small craft on the bay ventured from their moorings today. Thick weather through which the ferry boata barked their way prevailed In the harbor and the high wind of last night had caused seas which made traffic unsafe for any but the larger vessels during the night. The Japanese codfiahing schooner 8obo Mary dragged her anchor and drifted close to the Shipping Board's steamer Nanthala Red Stack. Tugs came to the rescue.
