PORTLAND
OGICAL
SHIPYARD CENTER
Advantages Not Fully Real
ized, Says Visitor.
TANK STEAMER ACCEPTED
First of Seven Big Vessels Buildin;
for Oil Transport Company
Turned Over.
Portlanders do not folly realise
either the natural advantages of their
city as a shipbuilding center or the
Importance of the shipbuilding in
dustry in the lire' of the citizens who
re not directly connected with the
construction of vessels, according to
Charles Desmond, representative of
Cox A Stevens, marine architects, who
yesterday accepted the new tank
Ktemmer Swiftsure from her builders
the Northwest Bridge & Iron com
pany.
When interviewed on the quarter
deck of his new steamer yesterday
Mr. Desmond was enthusiastic both
about the quality of work turned out
by the Portland yard and the speea
with which the vessels are being com
pleted. The Swiftsure is the first of
even 15.000-ton tankers to be built
for the Swiftsure Oil Transport com
pany. "Consider." said Mr. Desmond, "the
Talue of this one contract to Portland.
The building of these seven vessels !s
giving work, directly and Indirectly,
to S000 Tortland workingmen at a
time when work Is needed. More
over, the wages of .these men. com
bined with purchases made In this
city from the beginning of the con
tract to Its completion, will total pos
sibly in excess of $7,000,000.
Money Is flrongbt Here.
"It is important to remember that
alt this is outside money, actually
brought into Portland and banked or
expended here. 1 am not taking into
account any of the money which,
though paid on the contract and pos
aihly banked here for a short time, is
sent outside of Oregon for materials
manufactured and purchased else
where. "Portland shipbuilders can turn out
and are turning out as good ships
as can be built anywhere. The Swift
sure is as fine a vessel of her cVass
as any craft afloat. In spite of the
long haul for shipbuilding steel
brought from the east and put to
gether here, Portland builders can
also turn out their vessels at a profit
In competition with yards in Europe
or on the Atlantic coast.
"By this I do not mean direct profit
on each particular Job necessary, but
cumulative profits over a period of
time. A far-sighted builder will oc
casionally accept contracts at actual
cost, or a little less than cost, during
a period of depression, in order to
keep his organization intact and to
enable It to earn profits when prices
are better.
Builders Moat Decide.
"Whether Portland will continue to
be a shipbuilding center or not de
pends largely upon the builders. If
they can tee no farther than the bal
ance between expenditures and re
ceipts on a single job or a single con
tract, then your yards will probably
Close when they finish their present
work. If. however, your builders are
sufficiently public-spirited to have
the good of their community at heart,
and can sec ahead to the times of im
proved shipping conditions, then the
permanence of the steel shipbuilding
Industry for Portland. can hardly be
questioned."
One strong talking point for Port
land shipbuilding, which has received
little or no publicity, according to
Mr. Desmond, is the speed with which
ships can be built here because of
the equable climate, which enables
every man to do a full day's work
'every day. The steamer Swiftsure.
he pointed out, has been completed
30 days Ahead of her contract time,
and a similar achievement will prob
ably be made by every other vessel
Of the Swiftsure fleet building here.
One hull, now under construction
In the yard of tho Northwest Bridge
A Iron company, will probably es
tablish a speed record for a vessel of
her class and size. He emphasized
the accomplishment of this speed with,

tion of construction guaranteed bv

may not be able rb meet the prices
for completed tonnage offered by
British and eastern builders, but a
price of 1175 a ton with seven months'
delivery may be as attractive to a
purchaser as a price of $160 a ton on
the Atlantic coast with delivery at the
end of a year, or $140 in Europe with

now a member, of he Seattle port
commission, has announced that the
commission will seek passage of an
amendment to the law creating port
, districts, to make funds available for
: constructing port facilities in free
port zones in case the federal govern
I ment should establish such free zones
within the state. Mr. Lamping said
the amendments would not grant au
thority to levy additional taxes to
cover any other matter.

National legislation looking to
abolishment of all tolls at the Pan
ama canal on American coast-to-coast
shipping was urged in a resolution
adopted at an all-day conferene yes
terday of the congressional advisory
committee of the Oregon State Cham
ber of Commerce in the office of' A. C.
Callan. chairman of the committee.
Recommendations on other matters
of importance to the development of
the state were also made and the
Oregon delegation in congress was
advised of the action taken and asked
to support it.
The belief was expressed that, In
the interest of American shipping
and the development of the coast.
Panama canal tolls should be abol
ished. The committee also urged a federal
appropriation for road construction
in this state, concurring with the
legislature's recent memorial to congress.
Harbor Improvement Freed.
The Improvement of the harbor at
Siuslaw by a federal appropriation
also was urged bv the committee. It
was pointed out that there are two
shoals inside the harbor which pre
vent lumber schooners of any con
riderable draught entering. About
$650,000 already has been expended
on the Improvement of the' harbor
there, it was declared, and the com
munity of Siuslaw has taxed itself to
the limit to better the harbor. Just
previous to the war the removal of
the shoals was recommended by the
board of engineers and at that time
it would have cost $36,000, according
to the government estimate. The
war, however, held up the improve
ment. The committee urged some sort of
federal action to put an end to pres
ent operations of trawlers outside the
three-mile limit off the Oregon and
Washington coast. Representations
were made that the activities . of
trawlers at present are destroying
the fee-ling grounds of the salmon
and ar; proving a menace to the
salmon industry. It was suggested
that a law regulating the sale of
the fish might be effective.
An increase in the forestry fund
was advocated, with a view to es
tablishing a forest experiment sta
tion somewhere in the state.
Forest CampH Advocated.
The recommendation of the secre
tary of agriculture for an appropria
tion of $50,000 for use by the forest
service in the establishment of camp
grounds and comforts for campers in
the national lorests also was ap
proved.
A resolution was adopted favoring
the appointment of a western man
as secretary of the interior by Presi
dent Harding.
J. W. Dunn and W. E. Peterson of
Toledo, Or., appeared before the com
mittee in behalf of a federal appro
priation for the Improvement of the
inner harbor at Newport. It was
pointed out that the community had
taxed itself to the limit, that the
improvement was nearly finished and
that only a little government aid
would be required to complete the
project. The committee announced
that the matter would be taken up
with local government engineers.
Indantrie Held Menaced.
The committee recommended a
tariff of 5 cents a pound on importa
tions of cherries and walnuts. This
proposal was presented to the mem
bers by Professor C. L Lewis of the
Oregon Growers' Co-operative asso
ciation of Salem and W. R. Scott of
Albany. It was pointed out that the
cherry and walnut industries of the
state are endangered at present by
importations from Europe and Asia.
The committee is composed of
A. C Callan and Whitney Boise of
Portland, L. E. Bean of Eugene, C. S.
Hudson of Bend and B. F. Stone of
Astoria.

Rev. Parker Moon.
Nearly everybody In southwest
Missouri either knows or has heard
of the Rev. Parker Moon, who for a
full half century has devoted his life
and talents to Sunday school and or
ganization work for the Society of
Friends or Quakers.
"Uncle Parker," aa he is more
familiarly krjwn, came from fine old
rugged Quaker stock, and there Is not
a better known or more highly re
spected cltixen In that part of the
state. In referring to his remark
able restoration to health by Tanlac,
he aald:
"About five 'years ago I Buffered
a general breakdown, My principal
trouble waa nervous indigestion. My
appetite was very pocr and my food
seldom agreed with me, and I had to
live on A very restricted diet, I suf
fered a great deal from headaches
and dlrxy spells; I had severe pains
across the small of my back and was
badly constipated most of the time.
In fact, I waa so weak and rundown
1 was not able to attend to my duties,
'This condition made me very nerv
ous and I could 'not sleep at night.
Frequently I would lie awake most
all night and was in that condition
more or less for five years. My
physician said he could .not do any-
thing for me and suggested a change
of climate. I then moved to Texas
and went back and forth three tirhes
but did not get the relief I had hoped
for. Finally, I got so bad off I was
not able to get around with any de-.
gree of comfort. I was also told I
had heart trouble.
"I had read about Tanlac and, as it
had been very highly recommended
to me, I decided to try it. I got a
bottle and had taken only a few doses
until I could notice a marked im
provement In my condition. I no
ticed especially that I was not trou
bled any more with sour stomach
after eating, which was a great relief.
"I kept on taking Tanlac until I
fully regained my health. My appe
tite is splendid; I enjoy my meals
and I do not find it necessary now to
take any laxative medicines of any
kind. I can sleep much better and
am not nearly ao nervous.
"I take great pleasure In recom
mending Tanlao to anyorfe who needs
a good system builder, or who suf
fers with stomach, trouble, I have
recommended Tanlao to a great many
of my friends and am pleased to
reaoh others by giving this statement
for publication,"

Backache is one of the most com
