"Boneyard" Tract Desirable One. Few of the organizers of yards at Portland and vicinity have not con sidered the "boneyard tract and many have sought to obtain it. but in most cases they decided to accept sites else where because of financial reasons. 11 is said Twohy Bros, propose to under take shipbuilding on a most extensive scale, and as there is a frontage there of about 1200 feet they will probably lay down several ways. E. V. Hauser, representing orant.

GOETHALS FREED OF CHECKS General to Have Complete Charge of Ship Construction. WASHINGTON, May 28. Differences between Chairman Denman, oi tne Shipping Board, and Major-General Goethals, manager of the Board's emer gency fleet corporation, over the board's wooden shipbuilding campaign have been cleared away, it was stated todav. and the corporation will pro ceed with construction of both steel nd wooden ships. General Goethals. back from Jew York where Friday night in a speech he characterized the plan to build 1000 wooden ships as hopeless, announced todav that the fleet corporation naa let contracts for 24 more wooden ships It was authoritatively that General Goethals will have a free rein in the shipbuilding programme and there will be no interference from the board. Shipbuilding will be put entirely In his hands, and the board will exercise its other functions as prescribed in the law creating it. Operation of the fleet. therefore, will be in the hands or the board. Chairman Denman has disclaimed re sponsibility for the statement that the board could build 1000 wooden ships In 18 months. That assertion. It is said, was made by one of the engineers who proposed the wooden-shlp-buildlng pro gramme and never was denied by the board because the board, did not care to, eive any comfort to the Germans. general Goethals has accepted pro posals by the United States Steel Cor poration and the Lackawanna Steel & Iron Company to turn out by fabrica tion processes, 3,000.000 tons of steel shipping in 18 months and will let con tracts for wooden vessels as fast as wooden builders come forward with fa cilities for building them.

CANDIDATES PLUfif IHTO HOI STRETCH Final Week of City Campaign Opens With Workers AH Well Up on Their Toes. MR. VOTER HOTLY PURSUED Oswald West Tells Daly Meeting That Race fcfr Mayor Is Between Baker and Daly Others Can't Win, ex-Governor Declares.. The final week of the city campaign began yesterday, and the candidates have entered the last lap of the race. Counting today, only five days for campaigning remain, for active work will end next Saturday night. The election takes place next Mon day, June . A Mayor and two Com missioners are to be elected. In addi tion to the names of seven candidates for Mayor and 16 candidates for Com missioner, the ballot contains 18 measures submitted by the City Coun cil or under the initiative. Eight other measures are .submitted by the Legislature for approval or rejection by the people. They appear on a separate ballot. Most Important of these measures is that providing for a $6. 000. 000 bond Issue for good roads. The paramount necessity of improv ing the roads of Oregon so 'they will be available for quick movements by military forces of the United States as needed for National defense has been emphasized by the Secretary of War and by the Council of National De fense. Further commending the bond Issue to farmers and taxpayers generally is the fact that It will not cost a cent additional in taxes, as principal and interest of the bond issue are to be paid out of the present" quarter-mill road tax and from doubling automobile license fees. Ex-Governor Oswald West, speaking for the candidacy of Will H. Daly for Mayor at a meeting under the auspices of the Daly campaign committee In Library Hall last night, emphasized the fact that Mr. Daly and George L. Baker are the only two candidates for Mayor who have a chance to be elected. "The fight Is between Mr. Baker and Mr. Daly." said Mr. West. "There's no use of fooling yourselves, for none of the other candidates has a chance to win. "Mr. Josselyn is a good man, but he can't win.. Mr. Wheeler is a good man, but he hasn't a chance, either. And Mr. Warren is a good man, but he can't win. It is between Daly and Baker. Several noon meetings In manufac turing establishments will be ad dressed today by friends of George L. Baker, candidate for Mayor. G. L. Rauch will speak at the Jones Lum ber Company, B. F. Mulkey will ad dress employes of the Albers Milling Company, and W. A. Burke will speak at the Smith & Watson Iron Works at 12:30 o'clock. Mr. Baker himself will talk to employes of the Willam ette Iron & Steel Works. Dr. George Ainslie, campaign man ager for Robert G. DIeck, City Com missioner, who is a candidate for re election, made the following state ment yesterday: "We are conducting a quiet, but ef fective, campaign for the re-election of Commissioner Dleck. Mr. Dieck is advancing no new theories as to the duties of city officials and Is making no promises. He is discussing intelli gently what Is of immediate importance to every person in the community the need for a businesslike, non-political administration of municipal affairs. "We expect Mr. Dleck to make the I same remarkable showing at the com ing election he made four years ago. 1 when, although a practical stranger, he received the highest number of first choice votes of any candidate for Com missioner. At that time his record was closely investigated by a committee of 100 of the city's most representative citizens, and their Indorsement was largely responsible for the result. "They found that although a young man, he had already made a splendid record as an engineer and adminis trator of public work and was. ex perienced in city government, especial ly commission government. To the qualifications he then possessed have been added the valuable experience of four years as Commissioner of Public Works, while to his record has been added a four-year administration which has produced a 29 per cent reduction in expenditures in spite of heavily in creased duties and Increased prices of materials; which has lowered the cost of every type of pavement and which has maintained millions of dollars of hastily constructed improvements in a better condition than ever, at a. cost of less than 1 per cent yearly. We are confident the voters will recognize that these results could have been accomplished only by strict at tention to duty, from a man of trained intelligence, experienced in the admin istration of public work, who does not know the meaning of politics and who has succeeded in eliminating the vicious methods of the past. Mr. Dleck is receiving splendid let ters of indorsement from many persons who have had business dealings with the department and have thus been able to judge for themselves what It means to deal with an upright and fearless publio official. "It la most improbable that the public will overlook a record of this sort made under the unusual diffi culties which have confronted the first four years of commission government. nor that they will waste this experi ence for the costly experiment of at tempting to educate untrained men to administer the affairs of a. large de partment which is entrusted with the expenditure of millions of dollars and the care of $30,000,000 of public prop erty, at a time when we are entering a most critical period locally and a war abroad. "We are not depending upon Mr. Dleck's ability as a public speaker nor appealing to any class or Interest. We believe only that his record and his proved ability will mean more to the voters than the promises of untried men and are asking but one favor: that the public will Investigate for itself and . discredit the statements of dis charged or disgruntled employes or unsuccessful seekers of special favors." A. L. Barbur. candidate for City Commissioner, addressed a large audi- WAR REGISTRATION GLASSES DRAW 50 Precinct Registrars Asked to Get in Touch With District Members to Aid Work.

These were all delivered last night to the precinct registrars in readiness for use June 5. Sheriff Hurlburt said yesterday' that he was eager that all precinct regis trars get in touch with the district registrars in order that the work may be facilitated.

Camp Pitched Quickly. The unloading and pitching camo was done in record time and bv 4 o'clock company tents had been pitched and Sergeant-Major Robins and his staff had made up the guard detail for to night. The coming of the headquarters staff and the rest of the Third was a welcome addition to companies A and B, which have been camped at Clackamas since they retreated into quarantine. The warm sunshine of Sunday and that of today dried up the grounds at the rifle range, but there was plenty of evidence visible of the mud and other discomforts which A and B have had to contend with during heir stay here. Yet out of the quarantine and the rest of it, the Third Oregon doctors and hospital corps has established another Third Oregon record. Its first record was having a spinal meningitis out break without a death. The next was that of holding the, record for having treated the largest number of men with bactrin that was even given as the preventative for, spinal meningitis. Each Man la Inoculated. Kach man in the two companies had to be shot in the arm three times. The tremendous task of treating all of the men was In the hands of Captain Stew art, Sergeant T. G. Bailey and Private Gustanson. This trio also made a hunt for what is known as carriers of disease and for spinal meningitis suspects. In the search for carriers, four typhoid carriers were found, promptly isolated and treated, and on the first test for spinal meningitis 30 were isolated. On later examination the number was re duced to two. Only physicians can appreciate what such a task means. So promptly and thoroughly was the work done that the Medical Department at Washington has written for a full report upon the way the matter was conducted. The Third still needs about 30 re cruits. Cooks, blacksmiths and expert motorcycle repairmen are badly needed. Soldiers Will Shoot to Kill. The shooting of Private Cousin, of Company H, means that the prowler wno nrea mat snot Bit every soldier in tne -xnira Oregon. There is a tremen dous under-the-surface comradeshin among soldiers. To injure one means that all soldiers, whether they be regu lars or National Guardsmen, make war on those responsible for that hurt. Hereafter it will be shoot to kill. I venture to say that from Sunday night on until the end of this war, no private on guard will take a chance when he cries "halt" to a night prowler or a suspicious character, and if he does not halt will ever again Are in the air. Without knowing whether Private Cousin had orders from a superior off! cer to first fire in the air Is not known. although it is understood that Private Cousin is reported to have told those in attendance upon him when he was taken to the hospital that he had been so instructed. If such an order was given to him, that officer took it upon himself to issue an order contrary to instructions that have been issued by tne war .Department. Wound I if Se-rloua. One thing is sure, the Oregon sol dier when hit by the revolver shot, shows by the wound . the bullet made that he was facing the enemy. An otner thing. Private Cousin after he was so seriously wounded, demon strated that he was a "regular Oregon soldier." He took his injury and the long wait for medical attention (it was almost 3 o'clock by the time Major Marcellus was summoned to his side) without a complaint. The verdict of the attendants at the hospital and Major Marcellus was: "He certainly is a frame kid." That was natural, of course. He wouldn't hane been an Ore gon soldier If he hadn't been game. The shot that laid him low may not necessarily prove fatal, yet it is a very painful one. The soldier never lost consciousness, although all three bones of the left shoulder were shat tered and the upper part of the left lung punctured. George L. Baker will have a busy speaking programme today. He will speak at the Willamette Iron & Steel Works at 12:30 o'clock, and from there will go to the luncheon of the East Side Business Men's Club, where he has been asked to make an address.
