MRS. HAUSER CHRISTENS
Huge Hull From Grant Smith -Porter
Plant Marks Finish of Gov
ernment TCork.
Finis was written on the construc
tion of wood ships at the St. Johns
plant of the. Crant, Smith-Porter Ship
company at 4:45 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, when the hull of the Acar
maa was released from the ways.
Greeters in convention here were on
ahnd to greet the big; hull aa it made
its initial slide waterward. and they
applauded Mrs. Rupert Hauser. sponsor,
for her dexterity in breaking; the
christening; bottle, for while wine,
minus exhilarating properties, flowed
freely down the bow of the ship, the
ribbon covered bottle appeared to re
. main Intact.
The dull, copper paint below the
wmterline. with dead black reaching;
from the waterline to the rail, save
the Aearman a somber dress and it
was remarked that the last ship was
fitting; shrouded in mourning, but Eric
V. Hauser, greneral manager of the
company, said it did not strike him
as the "last sad rites." since the big
slant was laid out to build a war
fleet and he regarded it fitting that,
after its record-breaking stride during
the ehlght of the conflict abroad, the
last ship should be floated on the eve
of the signing of peace by me common
foe. Germany.
February 17. 1918. the first ship was
launched, she being the Wasco, the
laat advice on which was that she had
reported at Antwerp June 7. on her
way to Rotterdam, that voyage having
been begun at Philatelphia May 20.
The Aearman was the S2d hull to leave
the ways and while having turned out
more wood steamers for the govern
ment than any other plant In. the
United States, the company also built
wood shins fastest. The record was
the Caponka, launched April 24. 118,
after 4s working days, and that her
workmanship was not made to suffer
through spec.d is attested by the fact
she baa been In operation since her
delivery September 13. 191. and was
reported at Manila May 25. after a
voyage from the coast via Singapore.
Mrs. Houser was presented with a
silk umbrella, silver mounted, on the
conclusion of the launching yesterday,
while another gift from the manage
ment preceding the event was a large
boquet of dahlias, carnations, sweet
peas and larkspur, arranged to pro
duce a red, white and blue effect. Mrs.
Houser is a daughter-in-law of Mana
ger Houser.
The Aearman. unlike the yardmates
that preseded her, is a barge, she being
a victim of the changed programme
of the Emergency Fleet corporation,
through which hulls on the ways in
an advanced state of completion were
mostly changed into barges, early in
the year, and will be offered for sale.

Prospective Order of Railroad Ad
ministration Is Declared Contrary
to Government Policy.
Attention of harbor authorities is be
ing directed to a prospective order of
the Vnlted States Railroad Administra
tion that. It Is asserted, will prevent
river steamers participating, in through
railroad rates from the paper mills of
Oregon City and Camas. City Attorney
La Roche has been asked to look Into
the situation by the , commission of
public docks, which considered it brief
ly yesterday, when a letter was read
from the Crown Willamette Paper com
pany. The communication set forth that the
order, which Is number 8769. has not
been issued by the Portland committee
and that It should be canceled. The let
ter says:
-If the rail carriers are permitted to
carry out this order It will establish a
precedent to eliminate all other water
carriers on the Columbia and Willam
ette rivers from Joining In through
rates, killing water competition, while
the government has officially stated its
wish to encourage the use of Inland
waterways. The arbitrary artion on
the part of the I'nlted States Railroad
Administration is strictly contradictory
to this policy."

SHE SUFFERED
FOR 18 YEARS
Mrs. Turner Says Life Is Worth
Living Since Taking Tan
. lacGains 15 Pounds.
-This Tanlac has simply made life
worth living- for me, and I am only too
glad to tell others about it," said Mrs.
Wilson Turner, whose address is Box
63, R. F. D. No. 2. Hillsdale, called West
Portland. Or., to a Tanlac representa

"For 18 years I had been bothered
with stomach trouble," continued Mrs.
Turner, "and it seemd like I got worse
the past year, because it Just looked
like everything; I would eat. would sour
and srive me awful cramps and the gas
would press so around my heart I could
hardly breathe. Some nlg-hts I wouldn't
be able to sleep g-ood on account of this
trouble, . but would have to walk the
floor for hours, I would be in such
misery. I was awfully nervous, too.
and even the noise of the children at
play would upaet me completely. At
times I suffered with constipation, and
would have headaches so bad 1 would
have to go to bed, and many a time I
would feel so weak and be in s-uch pain
I couldn't do any of my housework. I
waa told I had appendicitis, but I just
couldn't make up my mind to be oper
ated on and kept on taking all kinds
of medicine, hoping I would find some-
thirg- to help me. but nothing did until
began on Tanlac.
"I had been reading: a lot about Tan
lac and one day I found & testimonial
that seemed to fit my case, so I decided
to get a bottle, and I certainly am
thankful I did, because Tanlac has
made me feel like a different person.
Why. I am so much improved I can
Just eat anything now even onions,
fruits, roast pork and any number of
other things I never dared touch before.
and the best of it all is I have gotten
rid of that sour stomach, gas and short
ness of breath. I sleep like a child at
night and get up in the morning feel
ing refreshed and able to do all my
housework with ease. I am not both
ered wtih constipation any more,
haven't had- a headache since I started
taking Tanlac and have gained all of
15 pounds in weight. I am still taking
Tanlac and am certainly thankful for
the way it has helped me."

LAW HITS WOMEN WORKERS
New York Statute Imposes Hard
ship on Car Employes.
NEW YORK. Llndley M. Garrison,
receiver of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
company, sent a letter to Public Serv
ice Commissioner Nixon in which he
said the company has "endeavored in
every way possible to retain all the
women employes that it is possible to
retain and still comply with the law.
The communication was in reply to
letter from Mr. Nixon asking for an
xplanation of - the "summary dis
charge" of all the women employes of
the system. Mr. Garrison wrote in part:
-A little consideration will lead to
the conclusion that it is impracticable
In- the operation of a street railway
business to comply with this act and
retain the women in their present em
ployment, shifting them, not in accord
ance with any rules of seniority or in
any way to fit in with the proper op

discriminate against the men and in
favor of the women which would

Of the 1026 women ticket agents.
350 work night shifts. The law auto
matically threw these women out of
heir positions and on the extra list.
rotating list, of employes wno worn
nlv day times. The effect of this is
to flood the extra list and place the
50 women In a position where the em
ployes will have to take work, the
wages for which are not attractive
enough to make it likely that they will
continue in the employment.
As to the ticket agents, tne com
pany has arranged to comply with the
law by making two seven-nour sniits
between the hours of 8 A. M. and 10
P. M., as provided by the law, elim
inating the lunch hour.
"In respect of the surface cars, when
the law became effective we had 89
women conductors In service, and up
to date two of these have resigned.
We are endeavoring to give the women
conductors at least one-half a day of
five hours' work, and more up to nine
hours, provided we can so utilize them
without discriminating against the
male employes. As work under these
conditions is uncertain and not only
deprives the women of the privilege
of picking their own runs In accordance
with their seniority but also reduces
their earning power, it is assumed that
most of them will not.wisn io conimuo

VALUES GREATLY INCREASE
World Manufactures in 1917 Esti
mated at $100,000,000,000.
v-EW YORK. World manufactures in
1917, the last full year of the war, are
..Mnotad ot IIOO.OOU.UUU.UUU
as against about 75,000,000,000 in the
vr nrecedin: the war. These figures
as presented by a lecturer before I

cational department of the National
City bank of New lor, are.

oyiiv estimates. . i" , . "
"ih. TTnited States Is the only impor
tant manufacturing natiion taking a
periodical census oi us manuiaui.ui,
and we can therefore only estimate the
products of the other countries. Many
of the other manufacturing countries
present certain figures showing tne
production of articles, and Great Britain
did a few years ago take an industrial
census: but the United States is the
..iv cmintrr which as, at stated
.Vinda for a lone term of years,
itn official measurement of its
m.nnfartnres. Even a part of our own
record has been recently dropped out
of the census reports which at present
includes only "factory products," omit

products, "hand trades and neighbor
hood Industries," which were formerly
included In the census figures and en
titled o Inclusion in an attempt to
state the entire value of all manufac
tures of the country.
The last census of manufactures in
the United- States, added tne lecturer,
was for the year 1914, and showed a
total of "factory products' only J4,-
240,000,000 andw it is probable that the
grand total when the hand trades and
neighborhood industries are- Uiu4uut3u
was in 1914. J26,0fO;O00,00O. Careful
oatlmatea of the 1317 outturn, based
upon known figures of production and
prices of certain basic articles, indicate
that the total value of manufactures
produced in 1917 at the current high
prices of that year was about one
third more than in 1914, suggesting
that the arutput of the manufactures in
the United States in 1917 was approxi

were then producing each about one
half as much as the United States,
with France ranking next. The total

CARIBOU MEAT EXCELLENT
Domesticating Wild Herds of Alaska
to Be Tried.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska. Fairbanks
residents now living on the north fork
of the Big Chena river next fall plan
to experiment in domesticating the
wild Alaska caribou.
The north fork of this river has been
a natural feeding ground for the cari
bou the year round, and it is under
stood srovernment permission has been
given for the men to take into captivity
25 young caribou for their experiment
High corrals will be built this summer
and supplies shipped In. Should the
experiment prove successful, Alaskans
see the possibilities of a great industry
which will provide an abundance of
fine fresh meat for the Interior, as well
as choice morsels for export.
OTTAWA. "Why not use reindeer
for food?" Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the
Arctic explorer, put that Question here
the other day; and echo now answers.
"Why not?" Canadian economists are
looking with close attention upon the
possibilities, as .a source of meat and
leather supply, of the immense herds of
caribou in the northern wilds.
Especially impressive was the des
cription given of the development of
the reindeer herds Introduced Into
Alaska by the United States govern
ment for the benefit of the Eskimos.
The 1280 reindeer imported from Lap
land into Alaska 20 years years ago
have increased to more than 100,000,
Alaskan reindeer meat sold in the
American market last winter for 5 and
15 cents a pound. Mr. Stefansson said
that Arctic Alaska in the next 20 years
would have 7,000,000 reinder that would
produce as much meat as 14,000,000
sheep, or seven times the present mut
ton production of all Canada.
Canada has been unable in- the past
to utilize the caribou herds -as a na
tional meat supply because of the re
moteness from railways of the animal's
habitat. This will be remedied by the
completion, this year, of the Hudson
Bay road connecting the Pas with Port
Nelson at tidewater. The caribou coun
try begins about 100 miles north of the
transcontinental line of the Canadian
National railway and extends to the
Arctic ocean. Chesterfield Inlet, an
arm of Hudson Bay, penetrates the
heart of it-
With the opening of the Hudson Bay
road it will, be possible to ship out
caribou carcesses in wholesale quanti
ties. There are. according to estimate,
between 30 and 60 million caribou in
Canada, and the number slaughtered
yearly will depend on market condi
tions. The meat of the animal has the
flavor of venison and its hide yields a
fine quality of chamois leather.
of American ships that under certain
conditions and for a limited time they

Inventor of Pneumatic Caisson.
William Sooy Smith, builder of the
first all-steel bridge in the world and
inventor of the pneumatic caisson, was
born in Ohio July. 22, 1830; graduated
at West Point in 1853; resigned from
the army, but served during the civil
war and later became eminent as a
civil engineer and bridge builder. His
invention of the pnuematic caisson rev
olutionized deep river bridge building
and he was the first one to overcome
quicksands in making foundations. He
was also a pioneer in moving bigbulld
ings and in the construction of sky
scrapers. He was retired from the
army with rank of brigadier-general
and died January 17, 1912.
There Is a shortage of salt In Japan.
The deficit this year will be about 993,-

TRAVELERS' OTJIDE.
SHIPPING PLAN OUTLINED
Expert Association Urges- Govern
ment ttf Jjet Others Build Ships.
WASHINGTON. The suggestion that
the government should go out of the
shipbuilding industry at the earliest
possible moment was made by George
E. Smith, president of the American
Manufacturers' Export association, at
the merchant marine conference.
. Mr, Smith's suggestion was baaed on
a resolution adopted the day previous,
in which the board of directiors of the
association reached the conclusion that.
in view of the passing of the emergency
requiring the building of ships by the
government In large numbers, the
government should now allow private
enterprise to assume this work, as
contracts and obligations already as
sumed are fulfilled.
Mr. Smith directed the attention of
the conference to earlier resolutions
in which the association took the posi
tion that: first, that all ships owned by
the United States governmen or build
ing or contracted for by the govern
ment should be sold to American ship
operators at the earliest moment after
a proper basis for such a sale can be
established; second, that the prices at
which these ships are sold should not
exceed the cost of foreign-built ships
of the some class and tonnage; third,
that the government should exercise
control to the extent of establishing
maximum rates; and, fourth, that some
guaranty should be given to operators !
