SIX MORE WAYS WANTED
Colombia Plant Considers Plans to
Increase Steel Vessel Work for
Government Shop Addi
i, tlons Proposed.
Shifting the plant of the Portland
Shipbuilding Company, which is con
cerned in the construction and repair
of river vessels, from the foot of Meade
street to a point south of the yard of
the Coast Shipbuilding Company, so
the Columbia River Shipbuilding Cor
poration may lay down six additional
ways for steel ship work, is a plan be
ing worked out in connection with the
latter plant's programme for turning
out Government vessels.
The Portland plant adjoins that of
the Columbia River yard on the south,
having occupied that location for years
under the management of Charles Nel
son. After the Northwest Steel Com
pany expanded last year and estab
lished a shipyard In connection with
Its business. It was followed by the
organization of the Columbia River
Shipbuilding Corporation.
More Shops Proposed.
The latter located Its plant on prop
erty adjoining the Northwest Steel
Company and between that yard and
the Portland Shipbuilding Company's
property, but with the need for much
more space for Government shipbuild
ing, the river frontage of more than
600 feet held by the Portland yard was
desired.
In the rear of the Portland yard the
Columbia River plant has ground, and
part of Its shops are there, and It is
the plan to put in more, as the space to
be taken over includes more than is re
Quired simply for ways.
The Portland yard recently closed t
new lease for its holdings, so the prob
abilities are it will be moved by the
Columbia River Interests at the tatter's
expense.
Frontaec Already Surveyed.
Surveys have been made of the front
age and quick work will be made of in
stalling the facilities as soon as final
word comes from J. R. Bowles, presl
dent of the Northwest Steel Company,
who is at Washington.
The Northwest yard has four ways
and the Columbia River three, so tti
additional ground will provide space
for twice as many building berths as
the Columbia now has, while the North
west Steel has applied for additional
fill on its land from the Portland, so a
fifth set of ways can be built.
Ships turned out by the Northwest
are contracted for Jointly with th
"Willamette Iron & Steel Works, the
latter installing machinery and fin
ishing the vessels after the Northwest
launches the hulls. The Columbia River
yard will turn out completed vessels,
machinery being constructed and In
stalled there as well as the hulls.
RIVER REPORTS FAVORABLE
Higher Temperature In Interior Not
Followed by Higher Water.
Temperatures over the entire Colum
bia River basin region, which have
been above normal of late, were higher
yesterday than during the previous 2
hours, and the fact the Clearwater
River fell six-tenths of a foot in -4
hours is regarded by Meteorologist
Thiessen, of the Weather Bureau, as
a good indication that all snow is gone
from the lower levels and thai there
will be no further rise here. While
the decline is not rapid, it will con
tinue here for at east four days.

Master Mechanic of Ocean and River

W. T. Lovell, for more than three
years master mechanic of the San
ITrancisco & Portland Steamship Com
pany and the river fleet of the O.-W.
R. & N., has tendered his resignation.
to take effect as soon as he can be"
relieved. Mr. Lovell has accepted I
berth with the Columbia River Ship
building Corporation.
After experience covering a wide
range In mechanical engineering Mr.
Lovell has risen to the post of first
assistant engineer of the steamer Bear,
under Chief Enginer Jackson, veteran
of the San Francisco & Portland line,
and, the steamship fleet being turned
back to the O.-W. R. & N. when the
Pacific Mail left the Pacif'c, Mr. Lovell
was named to look after the dual re
sponsibilities of ocean and river lines
here. Because of his work at sea he
has been deeply Interested In the
building of new steel vessels here and
decided to enter the construction field.
BASEMENTS ARE REOCCCPIED
Front-Street Houses Clear Away
Debris From Freshet.
Since the Willamette River has
dropped to a point below the stage
of 20 feet above zero. Front-street es
tablishments are returning goods to
basements. In all localities it is not
possible to reoccupy the lower section
yet, but some are restoring wire fenc
ing, rolls of paper and such stocks
and in others the labor of cleaning
away sediment and general debris col
lected is under way.
The aftermath of the freshet will
necessitate a considerable outlay in
repairing dock decks and driveway
platforms, though most dockowners
took precautions in the way of placing
weights on roadways, even loads of
gravel being dumped in places to with
stand the lifting of the buoyant timber
by the pressure of water from below.
At the present rate it will be two or
three weeks before the water recedes
sufficiently to enable all repairs to
be undertaken.
APPRENTICES MAY BE SIGNED
Government Considers Adding More
Quarters on Sailing Vessels Here.
Through the fact inquiry has been
made by representatives of the United
States Shipbuilding Board as to the
probable cost of providing 20 berths on
one of the vessels here that formerly
flew the German flag, it is believed
along the waterfront that the Govern
ment plans to carry a large class of
apprentices on the vessels as the first
step in teaching Toung America the
life of the sea, with the hope of ulti
mately swelling the list of officers for
the merchant marine.
Apprentices commonly were carried
In British ships for years, and in line
with the system It is expected those to
be signed on American vessels will be
principally youths well under the draft
age. As to when the additional quar
ters may be provided is not known, as
all work has been stopped on the ships
through an order from Washington
more than a week ago.

WAHEXA GROUNDS OFF TACOMA
Blaze Is Believed to Have Origi
nated From Overheated Pipe
In One of Stores Destroyed.
Dry Weather Adds to Danger.
BAKER. Or.. July 11. (Special.)
United efforts of the citizens of Hunt
ington today saved the city from de-
struction when a fire wiped out I
block In the heart of the business
section with a loss of nearly $28,000.
The people fought the blaze, which
was fanned by a stiff breeze, for two
hours, and were able to check the
spread when the wind died down at
30 o'clock. Most of the buildings
in the city are wooden, and the tem
perature has been hovering near the
100 mark the last few days, bo tnat
everything was -exceedingly dry, mak
ing the danger of wiping out the en
tire city Very great.
The fire was discovered In the
Crlmmlns' barber shop and made rapid
headway. The fire department and
every available man turned out to
fight the flames, and after over two
hours of heroic efforts succeeded In
subduing the conflagration.
The fire destroyed six buildings in
the heart of the town, including the
stores of the Huntington Mercantile
Company, H. H. Mack, George Adams,
a vacant building formerly occupied as
restaurant, Crlmmlns barber shop.
Dewltt's cigar store and W. J. Woods'
real estate office.
The heaviest losses were sustained
by the Huntington Mercantile Com
pany. H. H. Mack and George Adams.
The loss to the Mercantile Company is
said to be covered by Insurance, but
Mack and Adams had no insurance on
their stocks and the others had only
partial insurance.
It Is believed that the fire originated
from an overheated stovepipe, which
ignited a bunch of old clothes hanging
near by.
DREDGE STILL YIELDS SOOT
Cast Slders Caustlo in Spit of Ef
forts to Stop Smoke.
It has been repotted that residents
of the East Side, north of the Broad
way bridge, in a sector over which Is
wafted soot from the funnel of the
Port of Portland dredge Tualatin, have
complained because the residue from
the furnaces bespeckles beds on- sleep
Ing porches.
All of which reached the ears of
Fred Pape, peneral superintendent of
the Port. First of the remedies he
has applied was to change the brick
work in the furnaces. No results. Then
sawdust and cut fuel used was wet
down. Small advantage. Following
that dampers were closed as far as
possible. Net gain nominal. Spark
catcher have been affixed. Still the
Kast Slders are caustic
"We can't change the wind and we
can't give up dredging in the Interest
of the port," said Mr. Pape yesterday.
"Also the cut fuel must be used as the
best and most economical, particularly
since the price of fuel oil has attained
such heights."
