THE MOKXIXG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, TEHRUATIY 4, 1919. TWO SHIPS REINSTATED men are discharged as rapidly as new hulls are floated. The cancellation of wood ship contracts is held largely re sponsible for the big slump in employ ment, though there was a normal de crease between September 30 and No vember 30, due to a slowing down of operations. The suspension order was received November 25 and soon after the dropping of men became more gen eral. 3 C DOC 3QC DC The ITmtti Abmt Shipping Board Sends Word to Columbia River Yard. 18 WORK ORDERED TARIFF BUREAU DELAYS MEET Tentative Steamship Freight Sched ule Will Be Discussed. SEATTLE. Feb. 3. Members of the Trans-Pacific Tariff Bureau, compris ing steamship lines operating to the Orient from North Pacific ports, today postponed their meeting to discuss a. new tentative freight schedule until to morrow. With a quoted rate of J40 a ton from New York to Yokohama, announced by the United States Shipping Board, the IMe (n: ECONOMY SEEMS GUIDANCE Announcement From Charles Pier Expected Today Substituting Big- I gcr Vessels to Re liuilt of Steel At least two of six steel steamers, work on which was ordered suspended at the plant of the Columbia liiver Shipbuilding Corporation, will be com pleted as originally planned. Rein statement orders were received yester day from the Shipping Board to Alfred K. Smith, president ot the corporation. As two of 10 vessels ordered suspend ed at the Northwest Steel Company's yard were reinstated last week, the elimination of a total of 35.200 tons of new carriers from the cancellation list is most encouraging here. "It is true the reinstatements on two of the vessels have been received." Kaid Mr. Smith last nfght. "Material for those ships was in such shape that no doubt the Shipping Board has re garded it as economy to proceed with their construction." The impression in steel shipbuilding circles is that there will be additional reinstatements, based on the amount of steel on hand for the vessels. Detailed reports are now on the way to the Shipping Board showing material on hand and the amount en route, and when those statements are checked it will, no doubt, be realized that a sav ing can be made in carrying out more of the contracts. An important announcement is ex pected today from Charles Piez, director-general of the Emergency Fleet Corporation. Unofficial reports reach ing here are to the effect that his ob servations will place a different as pect on the threatened cancellations, as it is expected the Shipping Board and Emergency Fleet Corporation will favor the completion of the programme, with the substitution of larger vessels lor some of those that would have been laid down last under the present con tracts. Mr. Smith is planning to leaye the latter part of the week for the East, and it is understood his mission is in the interest of obtaining contracts for the larger ships. If the contracts are awarded, some of the steel material assembled could be utilized, though not a greater part of it. DREDGE TO AVOKK OX B.VU Six Weeks Assignment Made to Deepen Grays Harbor Channel. MOQUIAM, Wash.. Feb. 3. (Special.) The Government dredge Jichie, formerly used on the bar here and now iri Portland undergoing repair:, will be available for work on the outer bar of Grays Harbor About April 1. She will remain here six weeks and return to Coos Bay on her permanent assign ment. The securing of the Michie was due to combined efforts of lumber manu facturers, the commercial bodies of the harbor cities and the Port Commission. A large amount of data was compiled by a special committee in order to con vince the United States district en gineer at Seattle that the work asked lor was really needed and he has au thorized the resident engineer to pro ceed with the work which was dis continued two years ago. The sum of SS5.000 is available for this work and the Port Commission has about $100,000 for inner harbor improvements in con nection therewith. The depth of water on the outer bar, when war necessities caused with drawal of the dredge and also the larger vessels engaged in off-shore 'umber trade, was nearly 40 feet in the outer channel at low tide. Now the ciepth is about 20 feet which makes navigation unsafe for ve sels of deep draught and curtails output of harbor mills. SKAJIAX-S BODY IS FOUND Member of Crew or Janet Carruth ers Washed Ashore. ABERDEEN, Wash., Feb. 3. (Spe cial.) Search for tho body of Dewey .T. Walker, a member of the crew of the wrecked schooner Janet Carruthers, who drowned with five others when the lifeboat was cairied away, resulted in the finding of the body on North Beach yesterday by his brother, Fran cis Walker, who came here from his home ;n Walla Walla, as soon as news of the wreck reached him, and has kept up a vigil along the beach ever since the wreck. The body was in an excel lent, state or preservation and easily recognizable. The body will be shipped to Walla Walla tonight and will be accompanied by the brother who main tained such a faithful watch. The body of a sailor of the schooner Janet Carruthers. picked up about a week ago, has been identified as A. Solders, an able-bodied seaman. The identification was made by Captain Carrney from the clothing which was sent to the beach where Captain Carr ney is looking after the wreck. Cap tain carrney thinks the schooner can be saved. SIXTH PONTOON' IS NEEDED Two of Wood Fleet Could Be Lifted at Same Time. In lifting the river steamer Cascades, of the Shaver line; on the St. Johns drydock, in company with one of the .".500-ton wood steamers, an illustration has been afforded, say Port of Port land Commissioners, of the value of a sixth pontoon for that plant. Not alone could the larger steel ships of the Pa cific fleet be accommodated, but, in such cases as the present, when there Jire several of the 00-lon wood ships ready to drydock, two could be docked at the same time. The Cascades went on the dock Sat urday to have the hull resheathed and, because she occupies the two inside pontoons, cannot be floated until the big steamer is floated from the other three sections tomorrow. Usually, the Shaver fleet patronizes ordinary steam boat ways. The rush of work now at the plant of the Portland Shipbuild ing Company precluies ways being available for short jobs, so the big dry dock is the only haven. SHIPYARD FORCE DEPLETED Less Than Half as Many Men Work ing as in September. Between September 15 and February 1 there was a decrease in the force of men employed in wood ship plants of the Oregon district reaching 8518. the payrolls showing 6793 workers when the present month opened, whereas September 30 the force included 15,311 persons. And, in the opinion of Emergency Fleet Corporation offi-ers and ship builders, the end is not vet, lor more steamship owners here said the North Pacific rate would have to be cut to J6 in order to compete and absorb the transcontinental freight charges. REPORT ON BORINGS DUE GRAIN ELEVATOR SETTLEMENT BELIEVED TO BE STOPPED. Delegations From San Francisco and Tacoma to Inspect Portland's Water Terminals. Borings at tho St. Johns municipal terminal to determine if possible the character of substrata, undertaken when a settlement of the grain ele vator was noticed, are progressing. The Commission of Public Docks fully ex pects to consider a report TTiursday, so an adjourned meeting, scheduled for this morning, will be continued until then. Two drilling machines are being employed. A full statement of the ma terial gone through, together with all data possible to obtain from such op erations, will be laid before the com mission. The investigation was begun as soon as it was apparent the struc ture was slightly below the level of its original position, and it was de cided a week ago to suspend work on the roof until the investigation was ended. Tcrsons visiting the site during the past few days, some of whom are re ported to have expected to see the big concrete bins toppling owing to rumors circulated, have found that the settling has ceased. Men familiar with the situation express the view that the settling will not be repeated. Members of the Tort of Tacoma Commission, among whom is Frank Walsh, formerly chief engineer for the Port of Astoria Commission, are due in the city today on an inspection of Portland's water terminals and to look over the programme recently outlined for additional development. Also in th city is a delegation from the San Francisco Board of Harbor Commis sioners, including H. A. Oser, chief wharfinger; A. J. Burton, purchasing agent, and F. fi. White, chief engi neer. The San Franciscans are bound for Puget Sound, the trip being to study facilities and conditions at Coast harbors. Both parties are to be shown over the harbor. Pacific Coast Shipping Notes.

Instructions yesterday reached Robert Warrack. superintendent of the 17th light house district, from the bureau of light houses, that it was desired to give work to unemployed whenever possible. Mr. War rack says that .while there were oppor tunities a. few months ago all posltTons are filled at present and in most depart ments there Is a waiting list. Advices that the Government dredge Chinook reached San Pedro from Portland yesterday were conveyed to the Merchants Exchange. The big digger Is en route to Charleston. S.

Carry ins. o paaaencera and "Impossible!" you say. "Why, market are selling for 1716c a pound, yet I am rib-roast and loin-chops." True enough. Yet these more costly cuts are only Part of the animal. When Armour and Company buy a hog they pay 174c a pound live weight Qanuary 20 market quotations) for the whole animal a3 it stands in the pen 17yic a pound for meat, bones, bristles, entrails even the dirt that clings to the animal's sides. This price for the live hog means 23c after allowing for shrink age and cost of handling. Let us see how the various cuts sell at wholesale, after the hog has been killed, the meat separated from the inedible portions, and dressed at considerable expense. For the feet which we bought at the rate of 17Kc a pound we got 6c a pound; back bones and trimmed neck bones returned 5Kc; ears which cost 17jc per pound sold for 7c; livers brought 3 Kc; hogs' brains and knuckles brought 8Xc a pound; hogs' heads with tongues out were quoted at 10c, and with tongues in at lOKc; the snout was worth 8c and the kidneys 8c a pound. In short, the January 20 wholesale price-list con tained some thirty-seven cuts and portions under the pork heading, and of these, fifteen brought in less per DC average cargo, the steamer City of Topcka, of the Pacific Steamship Company's flag, got away at 0 o'clock last night for San Francisco via Marshfield and Eureka. To load three Scotch marine boilers for San Frarwlsco the steamer Johan Poulsen will proceed today from Wfstporl to the plant of the Willamette Iron A Steel Works.

Br Id sc. and Iron Company Acquires Manufacture of Holtr, Nuts and llivets. Announcement was made yesterday by the Northwest Steel Company of its retirement from the structural steel field, in which it lias operated since its organization years ago. and that its fu ture efforts will be confined to ship construction. The structural steel business lias been sold to the North west Bridge & Iron Company. W. H. Culle 3. chief engineer of the Northwest plant since l:t0. is the head of the Northwest Bridge & Iron Com pany, having resigned from his former position. For the present the latter company will handle its product at the plant of the Northwest Steel Company, but 'is planning an Independent plant, a site for which la now under conslder at ion. "The change means that Mr. Cullers and his associates have acquired all of the structural steel stock of our com pany and they will carry on the business hereafter." said J. 11. Bowles, president of the Northwest corporation. "We will continue to operate as shipbuilders only." The purchasers will handle all of the manufactured output, including bolts, nuts, and rivets. None of the actual plant of the Northwest is included in the transac tion. Mr. Cullers rump to Portland from Influenza is produced by a baalTns or germ coming; chiefly from dis charges from the nose, throat and lungs of the person who coughs, sneezes, or spits. The person at tacked feels chilly, develops a high temperature usually accompanied by headache and "ache all over" as it is" usually described. If you have the above symptoms get into bed as quickly as possible, after a hot mustard foot-bath. Take a good purgative, such as one made up of May-apple, leaves of drug store as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant with hot water bottles. It is a largest experience that the effort the poisons results sometimes in reports show that paying 28c a pound pound than was paid for the live animal before the ex pense of dressing and distributing had been added. Sheep are handled on a similar basis. On the edible portion of beef animals there is an actual loss. A 1,000 pound bullock costs from $160 to $180. Only some 650 pounds are edible meat, and this sells wholesale for from $125 to $145. It is obvious that Armour and Company can make -but little profit out of meats after the cost of killing, dressing, cooling and distributing has been added. Profits are made through manufacturing into com mercial by-products those portions of the animal that until recent years were wasted or destroyed. And on our total business last year, we made but 1.8c per dollar of sales. The by-products actually make meat cheaper to the consumer and more remunerative to the producer. Their production is the result of many years of re-investment of earnings to make this scientific development possible and of years of endeavor in upbuilding many kinds of markets for them. DC the Pennsylvania plant of the Cambria interests, now part of the Midvale Steel Company. "I feel a large amount of new work is to be carried on in Oiecon and Washington during the next few years in the struct ural steel line and, in undertaking this plant. It is believed considerable new business will be drawn to Portland." said Mr. Cullers. I'ntil his successor Is appointed Mr. Cullers will remain at the Northwest yard in an advisory capacity. sti:i:li tkavkls long routk Rails for Ala-ka do to Balboa I'irst, V.-ed as IlallaM.

On discharging lum ber at lialbua the vessel will load flat cars for the Alaska Commission, so the cars and rails will be discharged at the same time. Shortage of curco available in the Northwest for the canal and the fact the rails serve as ballast were argu ments given to win the consent of the Government. The Baroda finished her cargo at Astoria and will be towed down the coast by the steamer Anyox. The Baroda's lumber cargo from Port land amounts to 1,330,080 feet and is valued at 5S,S:o.
