Director af State Bureau at Mines Seada la format lea t. Emergency Fleet Corporation Engineer. R. J. Wig, chief engineer of the de partment of concrete ship construction. Emergency Fleet Corporation, Wash ington. D. C-, haa requested Henry M. Parks. Director of the State Bureau of Mines and Geology, to collect samples of light volcanic material from vari ous parts of tha state close to trans portation lines, which can be used for building; concrete ships. The volcanic substance must ba light In weight and strong. It Is to be used aa a substitute for heavier "materials In tha building; of concrete vessels, plana for tha building- of which are now being formulated in W aahlngton. It is hoped ona of tha new yards to be established by tha Government on the Pacific Coast may be located at Port land, tha Chamber of Commerce having tha matter In hand now. Tha advantage of concrete ships lies in tha fact that, once a mold la constructed, the ship can ba built in a very short time, most of the work being In simply filling the molds. Tha Oregon Bureau of Mines, under the direction of Mr. Parks, made a sur vey of tha state about four years sgo to lrarn the quality of building stones and atructural material obtainable in Oregon. Testa wera made at that time on numerous specimens of tuff and a record haa been kept of tha results. This Information has been forwarded to Chief Engineer Wig. Mr. Parks la now collecting data on additional deposits. Mr. Parka saya anyone wishing to use th. information on hand at hia office. ill Oregon building, may do so. Actual tests on concrete mads from this material will ba conducted in tha city laboratory at Portland, according to Instructions from Mr. w Ig.

SHIPPING BOARD MAY ACT Outlay of $75,000 Neede'd to Handle Property Big Pontoon De manded Here to Raise Steam ers of American War Fleet. It is now proposed that the Port of Portland Commission, which built and operates the St. Johns soctlonal dry- dock, purchase the Oregon drydock, a one-pontoon type, which the Oregon Drydock Company has agreed to dis pose of to Seattle interests. There is said to be an urgent neces sity for the retention of the Oregon drydock at Portland, because it Is capable of lifting the typo of wooden steamers being turned out In such numbers for the Government. A means of keeping the plant was discussed by directors of the Chamber of Commerce at noon and by shipbuilders and others yesterday afternoon, the latter meet- ng at the office of Lloyd J.1 Went- worth, supervisor of the Oregon dis trict of the wooden construction divi sion of the Emergency Fleet Corpora tion. It has been hinted, also, that the United States Shipping Board may take steps to retain the drydock. In fact, it is understood one condition of the sal. to Puget Sound purchasers was that the consent of the Shipping Board be first obtained. Definite action is looked for today In the way of calling special meeting of the Port of Port land Commission to consider a pro posal that will bo placed before the members. Just how this matter Is to be taken care of Is not apparent now, other than that it is felt the Port of Portland Com mission should manage the Oregon dry dock," said Secretary DodsBn, of the Chamber of Commerce, who attended both meetings yesterday. "If the Shipping Board feels there Is need of the dock here It will no doubt be held, but in view of the fact that the property is involved in debt and that it has not been paying because of the competition of the Port drydock and limited work in the past, one remedy seeming to be generally approved is that the Port acquire it. "The situation faced by shipbuilders is that tbe vessels cannot all be ac commodated on the St. Johns drydock of the Port of Portland. It Is a burden that must be provided for in order to dispatch these ships when ready. All of the new vessels will not require drydocking, but many of them will, as they will be launched without under water machinery so as to use the ways for other hulls. "What has been experienced in the past with private business has no bear- ng on the future as regards the dock being held, other than to take it off the hands of the owners, as we must guarantee the delivery of new ton nage. Tbe argument of shipbuilders and men familiar with the construe tion programme is that there will be greater need for that drydock during the next 12 months than ever before. Even In normal times we have faced periods when both docks were occupied and vessels had to wait to be lifted. and that cannot be repeated with Gov ernment ships unless Oregon s reputa tion suffers. The estimate is that $75,000 will be required to handle the property, and whether the Port of Portland is in position to shoulder that or can make arrangements to meet the obligation later is to be determined, providing the Commissioners incline to the assump- ton of others that it is their function to save the dock. 6 miles west of Cape Hlnchlnbrook April -0 8 P. M. AMt'SEMENTS. OFFICER SWENNES WANTED Shipping Board Seeks Inspector's Services as Coppersmith. Police Inspector Thomas Swennes- is of .more use to the Government as a coppersmith at a shipyard than he Is r as a copper." This is the view taken by Mayor Baker in recommending to the Civil Service Board the granting of a leave of absence during the period of the war. Inspector Swennes began his vacation about two weeks ago and Is tentatively employed at the ship yard of the Foundation Company. The special dispensation is urged fol lowing a request from the United States Shipping Board for Officer Swennes' services. It was shown that there were but seven coppersmiths residing in Oregon, four of whom are alien en emies and are not permitted to work in the shipyards. Because of this sit uation the board made a special appeal for the "loan" of Officer Swennes until the end of the war. Because several members of the po lice bureau had been permitted to seek employment at the shipyards a few weeks ago, the Civil Service Board found that the efficiency of the bureau had been affected and at its last meet ing made a ruling that no more leaves of absence should be granted.
