Additions to the sales and supplies
division of the emergency fleet cor
poration during the past few days
include Fred Moon, well-known coast
marine engineer, who becomes con
sulting engineer for the western dis
trict, and R. a. Morle. of Philadel
phia, mechanical engineer, who has
been placed in charge of the bulletin
department of the division.
Mr. Moon has been connected with
the construction division of the emer
gency fleet corporation in Califor
nia. He reached Portland Friday and
left last night for Puget sound to in
spect engines, deck machinery and
such gear that is about to be sola
at the Tacoma concentration ware
house. Mr. Morle has directed the
issuance of machinery bulletins and
those covering other stock at the
Philadelphia home office and he ex
pects in a short time to supply all in
terested with descriptive and illus
trated bulletins of gear available for
purchase in the west.
Jay S. Hamilton, in charge of th
sales, returned yesterday from Puget
sound, where he went in connection
with the prospective sale of wood
hulls. C. O. Yoakum, general manager
of the division, who returned from
California last week, will probably
remain in Portland during December
and prepare for a more extensive
selling campaign during 1920 along
the coast.
LAST 0 JjULLSJS SOLD
DA CLIS TAKEN OVER BY M. F.
SOMMARSTROM FROM U. S.
Vessel to lie Completed as Barken
tine Instead of Steamer as
Planned by Corporation.
Last of the hulls remaining on the
ways at the Columbia City yard of
the Siommarstrom Shipbuilding com
pany, that of the Daulis, a Ferris
type, was purchased yesterday by M.
F riommarstrom, head of the corpora
tion operating the plant. The hull Is
about 55 per cent finished and it is
Mr. Sommarstrom's intention to un
dertake its completion in the spring,
but as a five-masted barkentine in
stead of a steamer, as the govern
ment had planned.
The Sommarstrom yard had a total
"of eight ships to turn ou' for the
shipping toard during the war and
seven of them were placed in commis
sion as full-powered steamers. Mr.
tioniniarstrom had experience in Eu
rope in vessel construction before
coming to the United States and since,
as a resident of Oakland, Cal.t has
studied the situation until he em
barked in the construction venture
sit Columbia City, so feels that the
time is most opportune for adding to
the fleet of coast-owned windjam
mers for the lumber trade.
Announcement was made yester
day by the supply and sales division
of the fleet corporation, which has
charge of the disposal of all proper
ties left over from the government's
shipbuilding programme on the coast,
that proposals will now be accepted
for the purchase of all hu' : belong
ing to the emergency fleet corpora
tion. Cight hulls and seven barges
remain to be sold In the North Port
land harbor, as well as several on the
ways. The hulls on the ways have
not heretofore been offered for sale,
with the exception of the Daulis, pur
chased yesterday by Mr.- ommar
strom. SIX MILLION TONS BUILT

Six hours out from Astoria December 1, the 9500-ton steel steamer Nlshmaha was disabled 10 miles off
the coast by a break-down of her machinery. The coast guard cutter Algonquin, shown in the Illustration,
went to her assistance, but was unable to tow the Nlshmaha and stood by. After a delay of 31 hours, during
which, fortunately, the Nlshmaha drifted away from the shore instead of upon it, the faulty machinery was
repaired sufficiently to give the big freighter steerage way, and the sea had calmed, so a second attempt
at towing was made, which proved successful, and the Nishmaha limped into Astoria behind the Algonquin at
the rate of six knots an hour.
The second picture shows the Nishmaha coming up to Portland for repairs In tow of the harbor towboat
Portland. Repairs are now in progress and are expected to be completed in a few days
Below is Captain W. R. Brust, master of the Nishmaha. with "Trixie." the ship's mascot. All hands main
tain that Trixie was responsible for the break-down at sea because she chased a black cat off the ship lust
before sailing.
The Nishmaha was built by the G. M. Standifer Construction corporation at Vancouver. She was load
ed with flour at Portland bound to New York for orders.
IUUI1INE EXPOSITION PUN
EVENT DESIGNED TO AROUSE
INTEREST OF AMERICA.
Ships Held Only Solution to Prob
lem Expected to Confront Na
tion When War Debts Paid.
NEW YORK, Dec. 13. To arouse
the American people to the critical
importance of establishing: their mer
chant marine on a permanent basis
of healthy development, the National
Marine league, an association of
American manufacturers, shippers
and business men from all parts of
the country, will hold a national ma
rine exposition next April in New
York. Henceforth, according: to the leagrue.
American people will be compelled to
accept billions of dollars' worth of
European-made goods in payment of (
loreigrn cents, unless tnese gooas are
disposed of outside of the United
States, many American mills will
have to close and home industries
must largely cease.
"The one solution to this grave eco
nomic problem' asserts P. H. W.
Ross, president of the league, "is
American ships. Through them this
threatened deluge of foreign-made
goods which could wipe out our
steady, profitable employment of cap
ital and labor at home, can be
stemmed and diverted to new foreign
markets. If we are to retain national
and individual prosperity and avoid
commercial peonage to any foreign
nation, we must make a concerted ef
fort tanOlediately to place our great
nev - flierchant marine and the enor
mous industries connected therewith
in a position where they will not
again dwindle to pre-war insignifi
cance." Exhibits at the exposition will fea
ture American steamship lines, ship
building, ship chandlery, port equip
ment and loading facilities, marine
engineering, training of officers and
men to operate American ships, the
operations of marine insurance com
panies and of banks engaged in
financing foreign trade. Speeches
will be made by prominent shipping
men and public officials, marine lec
tures will be given by authorities and
marine films shown.

Mexican Creates Excitement at
Happy Valley Ranch.
ROSEBt'RG. Or.. Dec. 13. (Special.)
An insane Mexican, unable to speak
a word of English, appeared at the
Lyle Marsters' ranch in Happy Valley,
at 4 o'clock this morning and his
hostile attitude resulted in the farmer
firing two or three shots to frighten
the man.
Running straight to the river, the
Mexican plunged into the icy current,
followed to the river by Mr. Marsters
and others. The man was rescued,
but it was only after a hard tussle
that he was subdued and taken to the
farm house, where he was warmed up
and given something to eat.

Can You See?
Dr. L. K. Hirschberg
of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity declares: "Next
the muscles the eyes
are the most essential
sense structure. Unless
they are symmetrical and
healthy all sorts of con
fusion are possible.
"Dreams of falling,
drifting, 'goneness' and a
sense of unreality have,
like sleeplessness itself, been
benefited by the adoption of
eye-glasses, as well as drow
siness, exhaustion and faint
ness, traceable to dimly
lighted offices, gloominess
or close eye work."
These conditions, if caused
from eye strain, can be cor
rected by wearing properly
