PERTIXEXT FACTS REGARD
J 1XG SH1PPIXG SITUATION.
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.
We have not been supplied
oal, even by England, only un
er certain bun"ker agreements

faking the law, so we want to

'land Problems Presented.
. 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. Of
under construction January 1,
ing 2,000,000 tons, except tank
ers and some small carriers, less
00,000 tons were intended to be
red under the American flag."
J
i.i "1. Brent, and some of those
were for builders account. There was
ro 19" then to prevent the sale of
unreffistt red vessels and under the ex
ist ne' cotract system, whereby pay
ment were made from time to time
as w. rk progressed, ships could not be
conFiii-red as such until actually completed.
t
Tannage Declared not Sufficient.
"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.

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.

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

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

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

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. (
