J If the Federal Shipping Board is to build any number of -wooden vessels for ' emergency, they cannot be sailers, as they must be i able to turn quick to get out of Ithe way of submarines. I The Board has about reached the conclusion, after a survey of the United States by mail and telegraph, that sufficient oil com bustion engines could not be ob tained in time. T'fj Board figures on twin jw steamers of from 1200 to .00-borsepower. The vessel it wants to adopt is one that -will be of value after the war for commercial competition keener than ever before.

Pennell. chairman of the navl committee of the Chamber of jrce and a man of varied ex .ce in lumbering, shipping and tive vessel construction, took of the meeting for the Port , presenting their problems and cing Mr. Brent. :rent declared that the first act Federal Shipping Board, or . on January 30. was to ask nt Wilson to issue an emer proclamation on February 5, pre jr the transfer of any vessel to ign flag or permitting any charter issued to foreign interests.

"If the Navy Department was to carry out its priviliges to commandeer ships now available, it would be 50 per cert snort of tonnage actually required for th service that is being outlined, so it ;S plain a dire need does exist," cont'ntfed Mr. Brent.

It is out of the question to think of using steel. I -ate quotations on steel are from 7 to 7 "i cents a pound. "The Navy Department can com mandeer all steel plants in the country and there are about 65 per cent of them now arranged to be turned over to the Navy. As to steel merchant ton nage, before the war England was buy ing on a basis of 40 a ton, .deadweight, and today ?200 a fon is being paid, and we have heard of higher prices." Labor on Ships Is Studied. Taking up the question of labor for wooden shipyards, which Mr. Brent was particularly interested in. he said that Investigations In the Gulf of Mexico showed that a limited number of shin carpenters could' boss a number of negro laborers. Elsewhere, be said, he had heard of some plants where dras tric restrictions had been placed by labor unions against the introduction of unskilled labor. Mr. Pennell then took up the presen tation. He showed there were 11 wood en shipyards now active in the state, six at Portland, three on the Columbia River and two in Southern Oregon ports. He said 40 ships would be built at a time of either ,3000 tons or 1500 tons. Those under construction now, he said, numbered 29 vessels, ranging from 1000 to 4000 tons. As to facilities, he showed that 60 per cent of the ways built could be made ready at once for new work and in 90 days- another 50 per cent could be provided. Time of constructing a 3000-ton ship he estimated at seven to eight months and four to six months for a vessel of 1500 tons. He informed the Board that builders preferred to turn out 3000-ton carriers. Of 2000 men employed at wooaen snip yards, he fixed the proportion of skilled mechanics at 20 per cent and. allowing the same number of experi enced men. he said the yards could be expanded for the employment of a force of 6000 workers. Standing Timber EHtlmated. As to bare hulls, without machinery, 250 could be turned out of 1500 tons or 200 of 3000 tons. Space was devoted to lumber mills of the district, their capacity and new shipbuilding sites. He said there was 340.000,000,000 feet of standing timber in Northwestern . Ore gon and in a radius of 100 miles of Portland are 60 mills with a normal ten-hour cutting capacity of 6,600,000 feet, in the list being 26 mills on the Columbia River of 2,350,000 feet ca pacity, 11 mills at Portland of 2,000,000 feet capacity and 23 mills in the "Wil lamette Valley of 2,250,000 feet. Under pressure, Mr. Pennell estimated, the plants could turn out 8,000,000 feet a day and that could be doubled If two ten-hour shifts were employed. "Douglas fir material has been at tacked in a malicious way, statements being made that it is not suitable," said Mr. Pennell. "Such statements are absolutely contrary to the facts. We know it is the most suitable of any wooden material in existence. The Board, so I have learned, is satisfied. after delving into Government reports and conducting its own investigations. and fully appreciates the value of Douglas fir." Portlander Presents Situation. Daniel Kern, jointlyinterested with John K!iernan, in building a big wood en steam schooner at a new yard being laid out at the foot of Mill street. was the first Portlander called on. He said the labor situation was the great est drawback to speedy construction, but that there was no question as to obtaining the material. He also de clared that, while anchors and chains were difficult to get, anchors are being made on the Coast and there were Portland plants now manufacturing ex cellent windlasses, hoists and cargo winches. That part of the equipment, he said, would be provided as fast as ships were built. Mr. Brent said that in a pinch un doubtedly the railroads could be called on to supply bridge carpenters, for in the West steel bridges were rapidly replacing wooden ones and in the East concrete construction was used. so there was not such a demand for bridge carpenters. Speaking of Lloyd's and other clas sification societies as to insurance and life of vessels, Mr. Brent said the Board has in mind the adoption of the American standard, which is charac teristic of building in this country. Joseph Supple In Speaker. Joseph Supple, for 30 years a ship builder and now of the firm of Supple & Ballin, engaged in building, two 4000-ton wooden ships at their new East Oak-street plant, said he had not experienced trouble with union men and that he had found them anxious to have things go along. , He said 1600 applications were now on file at the yard for employment and that there were about 150 skilled ship carpenters in the yard force. As to the number of vessels that could be undertaken, he said 12 could be started, as well as the two now under way, if yard space was to be had. E: W. Heath, who has built ships on the Coast for 18 years, being here about six months, said he did not think there would be trouble on the score of labor. He advocated a school of in struction at night and such helps that would interest and make proficient men of other carpentering lines. H. F. McCormick, of the St. Helens Shipbuilding Company, said wooden ships were being built 300 feet long. while a few years ago 200 feet was re garded the extreme length without steel reinforcing. He said consideration was now being given to the installation of steel keelsons as a means of strength ening them. tie of Douelas Fir Favored. Mr. Brent remarked that he had in spected the five-masted auxiliary schooner S. I. Allard and the new steam schooner Wahkeenah, both McCormick products, while at San Francisco, and had obtained plans of both. Walter Lang, surveyor for Lloyd's and who passes on all steel and wooden ships here for that society, said Doug las fir lasts for years and he favored it being used in vessels up to 270 feet long, but for those longer he opined reinforcing should be used. 1 Captain N. T. Palmer spoke of his experience in building wooden ships in Maine. Other speakers had touched on the use of diagonal sheathing beneath the outer skin to strengthen ships, which Captain Palmer criticised. Fred A. Ballin refuted that, citing the case of the tug Samson, now 19 years of age, which is diagonally planked. As. to the life of wooden ships, he said, the Victoria Albert was built by the British in 1840 and that today she was doing service in the Brazilian navy. He also said the two ships building at the Supple & Ballin yard would have a radius of 12,000 miles with oil storage of 2500 barrels. Oil engines are to be used. He said if steam gear was desired it could be located amidships, a single propeller being driven, and as to engines, said they could be built at Portland as rap idly as ships were available. One new type of 5000 tons capacity, he said, had been planned and approved by classi fication societies. Captain E. C. Genereaux, surveyor for the Bureau Veritas, declared - a fast sailing vessel or steamer is best suited for emergency purposes, as well as full powered ships, if oil engines were used. He did not favor those of the auxiliary type for the purpose under considera tion. He said a steamer of wood, hav ing finer lines than most building here, to make from 12 to 14 knots, would be desirable. Captain Richard Chilcott presented a written communication to Mr. . Brent bearing on the class of vessel he advo cated for the emergency plan and told of one designed to carry 4350 Ions, dead weight, which will be 1.83 feet long, having a beam of 44 feet and depth of hold of 24 feet. Speaking of the ability to obtain oil combustion engines, I. N. Day, asso ciated with Mr. Kern and Mr. Kiernan, said he had corresponded with various firms and could not obtain promise of deliveries in less than a year to 15 months. DREDGE MAKES RUN 28-Foot Road Provided at Tongue Point Crossing. WIDTH IS 300 FEET Clatsop Will Provide Channel Above Astoria to Deptb or 30 Feet. Chinook Only Other Digger of Fleet Not In Fort. On the Tongue Point Crossing, extend ing from Harrington Point to Tongue Point, Just above Astoria, the Govern ment dredge Clatsop has finished an other run through there, with the result that at least a depth of 28 feet has been provided for a width of 30 feet along the entire distance, and before she ends operations there a 30-foot road will be provided. The ruling depth now in the estuary of the Columbia la 27 feet, that being at Flavel. In connection with the 30-foot chan nel project from Portland, the depth from Brookfield to entrance, as author ized, is "26 feet or more." hern n so nf the tidal influence there. Recently the matter was taken up at Washington of having the rivers and harbors act so amended as to provide for a 30-foot channel between Portland and the en trance to the river, with 4 0 feet at the bar. which was realized last season. Major Jewett, Corps of Engineers, United States Army, received a com munication from the Chief of Enginers yesterday to the effect the Board of Engineers had deemed it advisable that the project depth as now stated below Brookfield be increased to 30 feet. That portion of the project has been consid ered somewhat ambiguous, inasmuch as it provides for 26 feet or more, and Major Jewett has been of the opinion that it should be described aa 30 feet. For some time depths in that stretch have been increased, as dredges were at work there, no more than 26 feet of water has been available at the lowest stages of tide. The Board of Engineers takes the stand that there is no reason why the projected depth should be less below Brookfield than above, saying that the class of shipping is identical. Other than the Clatsop, all of the Federal dredging fleet are in port, but the Chinook, the big digger used at the entrance, is to be out in another month, being now under overhauling. sniprrxG hoard pvan n Chamber Directors Will Take Action on M. H. Houser's Enterprise. Organization of a proposed shipping board, growing out of a suggestion made before guests at a shipbuilders" banquet at the Chamber of Commerce Saturday night that Portlanders invest in stock for a home7owned fleet, may be undertaken tomorrow night, when the board of directors of the Cham ber of Commerce will consider the matter. M. H. Houser, grain exporter, is the father of the step, and on his plan be ing outlined Saturday night J. R. Bowles, president of the Northwest Steel Company, immediately Joined and offered to subscribe heavily with Mr. Houser. The Intention is to ask Mr. Houser to accept the chairmanship of the board and name four other equally responsible business men to serve. Men who have given thought to the tenta tive plan outlined believe it has ex cellent merit. Mr. Houser asked for stockholders of different classes from those who could devote 10 cents a day to those willing to invest $1 a day and promised to take five portions of each denomination. CITY OF PORTLAND DRYDOCKED Auxiliary Schooner Will Be Cleaned and Painted Here. How tropical marine growth covers a vessel's hull in a comparatively short time was illustrated when the five-masted auxiliary schooner City of Portland was lifted on the Oregon dry dock yesterday. She - Isited Port Pirie, Newcastle. Papeete and Honolulu on her maiden trip. On being cleaned and painted the vessel will proceed to St. Helens to load her second lumber cargo. The four-masted auxiliary schooner Beta, of the Peninsula Shipbuilding Company's fleet, was towed back to the yard yesterday from the Willam ette Iron & Steel Works, where her masts were stepped. The schooner Okanogan, which shifted from the Portland mill to Albina dock Saturday to have a new mizzenmast stepped, returned to ber loading berth yester day.

SALVAGE OF RITH IS BEGUN Tahoma Arrives to Go on Ways and Teal Is Being: Repaired. Next of the damaged river vessels to be hauled out will be the steamer Ruth, of the Willamette Navigation Com pany's line, sunk Saturday afternoon when struck by the Cunard steamer Vesterllde, the latter Just being launched. "Work of raising the vessel at Inman-Poulsen's. where she went to the bottom, has been started, and when lifted she will probably be shifted to the yard of the St. Johns Shipbuilding Company. The steamer Tahoma arrived yester day from the Cascade Locks, where she was towed last week after being raised from Dalles City Rock, she having struck and gone down there two weeks before. The vessel is to be hauled out at Supple's yard today, providing the J. N. Teal is ready to launch. The Teal was hauled out a few days ago to have her hull repaired after striking a rock near Irrigon, Or., and sinking. ( Gaston Organizes Honor Guard. GASTON, Or.. April 2.
