VANCOUVER YARD HOPEFUL Government Work Cntil Foreign Business Is Available Seems Cer tain Record of Plant Good. Reinstatement of contracts for the . continuation of two or three of five of the 9500-ton steamers recently can celed at the G. AL Standifer Construc- . tion corporation's Vancouver steel yard, a.a indicated yesterday In the testimony of J. T. Ackerson, head of the construc tion division of the Emergency Fleet corporation, before a congressional committee, is in line with reports pre- ; viously received statins that in all probability the Standifer organization would get such consideration. ; The corporation's original contracts . called for 15 steel steamers of 9500 tons each, but contracts for- five of the i vessels were canceled. To date the i plant has floated four of the vessels and the fifth will go overboard the ; latter part of July, it is thought. With . five ways at the yard it would mean only one "turn over," but if three of the other vessels are given back, the or ganization can probably operate into the fall season, by which time the Standifer corporation may be able to , close for satisfactory foreign business. Work at the Standifer yard was in full swing when a walkout occurred ; about two weeks ago. The cost of the strike was considerable, and work on the fifth vessel was retarded so that ; its launching set for for Juncj 10, will be delayed about 10 days. The launching of the steamer Wawa- ' lona last month, with all of her "top side" gear in place, even to the masts and funnel, while her own whistle was . sounding a salutation as she started down the ways, set a new mark in the world for floating ships of the size more than 90 per cent complete. That has brought the yard to the fore and proved what the west can do In time of peace. ' The property was first laid out as a permanent enterprise and the reinstate ment of government vessels will af ford the desired span for carrying along the organization until private work is ready to be started. RANCHER WILL FLY HOME WAIiliA WAIXAX Wllili SOAR IX EXHIBITION FLIGHT TODAY. Machine TTsed Was Purchased from Canadian Government for Serv ice in Wheat Country. Portlanders and Victory Rose Festi val guests are to be treated to an ad ditional aeroplane feature today by W. B. Hutchensonj recently instructor in the navy, who landed a private plane of the Curtiss type from the liner Rose City yesterday, and plans to fly over the city this afternoon as a preliminary to starting for Walla Walla. The plane was used by the Canadian forces' for training purposes and was purchased in California by Mr. Hutch inson. He moved the wings yesterday from Ainsworth dock to Eastmoreland. so that the army mechanics there could assist in getting them together, later taking the machine there for final as sembling. The- airman informed the steamship representatives yesterday that he pur chased the machine principally so that he and his two brothers could keep in closer touch on two large ranches one in the Walla Walla country, which is devoted to wheat, and another 200 miles distant, where stock is raised. The plane has a maximum speed of 75 miles an hour, weighs 1600 pounds and is valued at about $3000. To date Mr. Hutchenson says he has received more than 100 applications from residents of the Inland Kmpire, who wish to fly with him for the experience, and a minimum charge of $10, which Is for 10 minutes in the air, promises to re pay some of the expense of getting the plane here. The use of an airship for communi cation between ranches is an innova tion in the northwest, and Mr. Hutchen son says he prefers that manner of traveling to an automobile, counting the risks less. nAIlVEST QCEEX TO SPRUCE CP O.-W. It. & N. Company Plans to Handle Beach TraTel. In preparing for the Xorth Beach ecaBon the O.-W. 15, & N.. is contem plating early overhauling on the steamer Harvest Queen, on the Portland-Astoria route, and as the steamer Hassalo will not be ready for about 10 days some consideration has been given a plan to bring either the steam er Lewiston or Spokane here from JSnake river. At the same time it is deemed more desirable to charter one of the local fleet, as the Snake river boat would have to be taken back in the fall, in order to be on hand to move wheat. The steamer Joseph Kellogg may take the Queen's place, if the latter is withdrawn before the Hassalo is ready. The Queen is to be hauled out at the Kulton plant of the Portland Shipbuilding company and the work will be hurried so she can take care of summer travel between Astoria and Megler. the Hassalo being placed on the I'ortland-Astoria run.

INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirty-seven per cent.- or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Oastoria would save many of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many cf these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and sooth ing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupify, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. There can be no danger in the use of Castoria if it bears the signature of Chas, H. Fletcher as it contains no opiates or narcotics of any kind.

Terrifying Discomfort From Skin Diseases Itching and Burning Eruptions Torture Victims. Only those who are afflicted with Eczema, Tetter, Erysipelas boils and similar so-called skin diseases can ap preciate the real terrifying discomfort that comes from these disorders. The constant plea of those afflicted is the oft-repeated question, "How can I find relief from this constant torture?" No palliative, temporary relief that causes the terrible itching to abate for a while, but real, genuine relief that shakes off the shackles of the disease and restores the skin to its former healthy condition. And temporary relief is the most that can be expected from local treat ment, such as ointments, salves, lo tions, etc., which is one reason why these diseases seem to hold on with such tenacity. It is not because they are incurable, but because they are improperly treated, that they appear to be so stubborn and so difficult to cure. ' The real cause of the disease is a germ in the blood, which multiplies by the million, and sets up an irrita tion in some tender location of the delicate skin. You must locate the headquarters of the disease germs, and cut off Children Let's Think It Over, There is such a thing as saying too much on any subject, and the "grand-stand" talker sooner or later becomes a bore. The truth is always welcomed, and the troth reiterated and confirmed is mora than welcome it reaches your innermost souL Fletcher's Castoria is all its advertising has claimed for it.

Masquerading under many names drugs that are injurious to the tender babe have found their way into some households, but the light of experience soon casts them out.

The blood is saturated with them, and they will set up their attacks on the surface of the skin as long as they remain in the blood, no matter how much local treatment you take. A million gallons of local treatment applied to the surface of the skin will not eliminate the germs of the disease from the blood, and until they are eliminated your skin will never be free from the itching and burning discomfort. If you want relief that is perma nent, then take a treatment that goes right to the seat of the trouble and removes its cause. Such a remedy is S. S.
