PLAN MADE ON WHICH HOMES FOR WORKERS ON VICTORY BOATS ARE TO BE ERECTED . ri : 1 " COMPANIES WIL L BE FORMED TO F E Government Emergency Fleet Corporation Wilf Lend Money on Property Used for Homes. SOME LOSS IS EXPECTED Corporations That Borrow Funds Will Not Be Expected to Make Good Any Deficiencies. Washington, D. C. March 9. (WASH INOTON BURKAL OF THE JOUR-NAU-Congress has voted S50.0O0.O0U to the shipping board tzr the housing of employes who are to build the vic tory fleet of merchant vessels for America. The boird has worked out the plans on which It Intends to operate In expending the money. The board does not lniena to acquire Jand or to lease land for the building of houses, unless In exceptional cir cumstances. It expects to operate through cooperation with the shipbuild ing companies which need to secure living quarters for their employes. The shipbuilding company will in each case contribute the land, or pay the cost of the land if It has to be requisitioned. It will then organize a realty and con struction company as a subsidiary, un der the law" of the state where formed and under approval by the emergency fleet corporation. The capital stock must not exceed the cost or actual value of the land. The parent company will convey the land free of incumbrance to Its subsidiary. Thv parent company will agree to advance all construction charges, the subsidiary giving Its note or bond and agreeing to repay within 10 years. A blanket mortgage covering the entire development will be executed for the full amount which the emergency fleet corporation estimates to be required for the work, this mortgage being assigned by the parent company to the fleet cor poration, which will furnish all the money for construction of buildings. The fleet corporation will have gen eral control of the layout of the grounds, architecture and methods of construction. It will decide in each case whether the subsidiary company shall do the work, shall be permitted to con tract it, or whether the fleet corpora tion Itself shall assemble the material and labor and let contracts. The parent or shipbuilding, company will stand back of all the undertakings of the subsidiary, but will not be asked to obligate Itself to make good any de ficiency arising from failure to realize enough from the land and the Improve ments to repay the government for the money advanced.

At . present costs it is not expected that the land, which Is to be furnished by the shipbuilding com pany, plus the - improvements paid for by the government, will sell for enough at the end of the war to pay for the Improvements, If the government gets back half of this $50,000,000 It will bo doing "well. In view of moat of those who have made a guess on it. The plan further contemplates the ale of lota to employes who desire to purchase homes near the shipyards on long and easy terms. Ixits as sold are to be released from under the original mortgage and a new mortgage given, the price and tennis under control by the fleet corporation. Rentals are like wise to be regulated, to prevent exploita tion of the employes. The land and the mortgage will bear interest at five per cent, and an annual amortization of three per cent will be required. The subsidiary company will be permitted to earn dividends not ex ceeding five per cent after all taxes, amortization and other obligations are paid, up to the time the mortgage is discharged, when It will be permitted to pay six per cent and to set aside two per cent for cancelling Its stock. As the bill was first passed its bene fits were limited to employes and to the barebones" of a house. It was amended In conference to Include the I housing of the families of employes and to Include fixtures and furnishings, j "and all necessary and convenient facili ties incidental thereto," which will make It possible to equip a house for occu pancy, if the shlpipng board decides that should be done. Eggs Not Necessary To Make Cakes, Pies Mrs. Mary Wlnnerling, manufacturer of Kgaho Powder, has entirely aban doned the retail end of her business, and every wholesale grocery house of Portland is now handling her goods. And to their satisfaction it is found to have acquired such a reputation, among housewives given t'o economy, that re tailers are having a strong demand for the product, and they are receiving many repeat orders. The lady is now In Seattle where she has established a M'cond factory, and is doing well there also. She says that in baking wherein eggs are usually used, the powder is a most excellent substitute, and its cost. Ik about the same as eggs at 10 to 12 cents per dozen. Holland Is Using Heather for Fodder In .central Holland, about Apeldoorn, are large tracts of practically waste land thickly covered with heather. From time immemorial this region was beau tiful each August with the purple and gold of the flowering heather. But the end has come, temporarily at least. Be cause the customary fodder is lacking, heather is now, for the first time in Holland, being cut from thoBe waste lands to be fed to cattle. As the heather is coarse and tough, it must be modified In order to make it a proper food for cattle, but the exact manner of prepara tion is not stated. A restaurant chair has been invented with a spring controlled shelf under the seat to hold a man's hat. SMI SjUjal.i i llPv.---- -V M -I.

American shoes are looked upon with the same high favor in Australia as in other parts of the world says a de partment of commerce report. Medium and fine grade American shoes, al though selling at higher prices than other shoes on the market, are pre ferred by most Australians and many are quite willing to pay the difference. In men's shoes, three-fifths or more of the trade is in boots (high shoes) but with the younger men shoes (ox fords) are gaining in popularity, espe cially in the north and the capital cities. ' It is unusual to get a really good shoe for less than $7, and this is of a quality that can generally be pur chased in America for $4.50 or 5. The same lasts that find favor with the young men in America will usually prove popular with the young men In Australia. The older men do not read ily change styles.

Hareonrt "What does the purchase of the Mult nomah mohair mills mean for Portland and the state?" J. A. Zehntbauer, man ager of the Portland Knitting company and chiefly Instrumental In keeping the plant here, was asked. "Oregon fir, spruce and cedar forests are among the finest in the world," Mr, Zehntbauer, turning to his inquisitor. remarked, was not a "Suppose, then, that there Bawmill on this coast, nor one nearer than Kentucky or Pennsyl vania, and that some one -proposed to build one here, what would be the opin ion of the public as to its value to the community? Each of us would be effer vescing with enthusiasm. "We would declare that the enterprise would be the making of the city. For all knitting purposes In the manufacture of under wear, sweaters, hosiery, knitted- mittens and gloves, scarfs or anything in that line Oregon produces wool unexcelled In the world.

Norwegian Genius Meets War's Effect The need for additional telephones in Christlania. Norway, Is so great that the people who want to Install them are advertising to buy subscriptions from those who already have them. On ac count of the lack of wire and instru ments it Is not possible to install as many new stations as are desirable. The hotels In Christlania are serving butter substitutes, which seem to con sist of about" 50 per cent of butter mixed with potato meal and cream. Very little pure butter appears on the retail market. On account of the scarcity of tin for making packages for fish, a new inven tion is now being tried by which the fish is dried very hard and ground to a powder and packed in paper cartons. IMMENSE pelled to freight it east In millions of pounds and back to the coast by ex press, the latter costing in the neigh borhood of $20 a ton. As a result Ore gon has been .supporting eastern spin ning factories, and not only that, but paying dearly for the privilege. What I mean by this is, we have had to pay the wage of eastern spinning factory operatives, freight to them on our wools and express back to us on our yarns. We have been sending our money out of the country to maintain institutions having no interests in common with us, and supporting towns and families to whom we are strangers. The Bradford System , "What Portland has needed for 1 might say a quarter of a century or even ever since the town came into ex istence was a yarn spinning institution. It is as necessary as the sheep them selves, and now that we are to have it it will soon be admitted that the step is one which should have been taken years ago. And the Bradford is the only system the very one which we are getting at a price most ridiculously low. It is true that it could have been ob tained for less than half its present coat had it been bought directly from A. L. Mills before the holding company se cured an option, but even at $50,000 the plant is cheap. Much of its machinery could not be had if we were compelled to buy from the manufacturers at pres ent. It is not on the market Fortun ately the kind we require is easy to get, so the progress of the plant will not be impeded on that account. Roy Bishop, who is to be manager, thinks he can be turning out yarns In four to five months, but I estimate that it will require six months to get the enterprise in full op eration. This accomplished our people will get cheaper yet better yarns, be cause all transportation charges will be eliminated and the Oregon wools will not be adulterated by those of an In Royal Building. Wduld you consult your butcher as to what kind of clothes to buy? or get a'i tinner to audit your books? Then why do you ask those, who never used UNIVERSAL TIRE FILLER, as to its merits?

The bureau of fisheries has issued a statistical bulletin showing the quanti ties and values of fishery product landed at Seattle. Wash., by American fishing a,nd collecting vessels during the year 1917. The products landed during the year amounted tq20 trips, aggregating 16, 553.944 pounds of fresh fish, having a value to the fishermen of $1,738,802. The fares were taken from fishing banks off Oregon and Washington and northward to Portlock Bank. Alaska. The product included halibut. 13.949,683 pounds, valued at $1.625.409 ; sabiefish. 2,430.105 pounds, valued at $107,350 ; and other species amounting to 174,156 pounds, valued at $6043. The largest quantities of fish were landed from March to Oc tober. In addition to this catch, collect ing vessels landed at Seattle during the year 12,821,353 pounds of various species, chiefly salmon taken in Puget Sound, having a value of $988,559. INDUSTRIAL ferior character. The result of this will be that the time will speedily come when rurusna orana yarns will nave world wide reputation for excellence and will be sought by knitting factories through out the United States and Oriental coun tries. This is as certain as that we live." Hosiery From Byproducts "There is a by-product in all woolen yarn spinning mills known as notles, used .In the manufacture of heavy wool en socks. It is not an inferior article by any means," says Mr. Zehntbauer, "but pure wool of shorter lengths. When the fleece is combed the long wool is separated from the short, and the lat ter is used in the knitting of a superior quality of hosiery. "The establishment of a wool spin ning factory means much to us." Mr. Zehntba.uer says, referring to the busi ness of . the Portland knitting factory. "At present, on account of having to buy our yarns in' the East, we are forced to carry a stock of not less than an average of $50,000. With a spinning factory In Portland at least two-thirds of this capital will be released and can be otherwise employed. This will have a significant bearing upon the business of our firm. If necessary we can add this to our stock of manufactured goods, carrying a greater variety, or put the money Into enlargement of our plant." Mr. Zehntbauer is greatly elated over the success of the "drive" for money to buy the. plant, and Incidentally remarked that the publisher of The Journal was the only newspaper man In the city to put a shoulder to the wheel and help out with a generous subscription. Mr. May Very Active, Instead of Inactive When it was stated that Milton H. May was an inactive member of the Puritan Manufacturing company. East Eighth and Oak streets, an effort must have been made to lay that "live" gen tleman on tfte shelf. If the "in" had been omitted the sentence would have correctly stated a fact, for he IS one of the most "active" gentlemen con nected with the enterprise. He is the originator of the factory and likewise originator of nearly ajl the 20 or more varieties of drinks which it produces. Every day he is on the Job, and Just now has Installed a newly patented bot tl! washing machine, the second one of its kind on the Pacific coast, and, It is a most useful device. It not only washes but sterilises the fluid containers, so that there Is not a possibility of any thing Inimical to the health of the con sumer entering Into the beverages pro cured from that concern. As he has charge of the manufacturing end of the industry, Mr. May always has an eye out for anything which will more com pletely modernize the plant.- He keeps It abreast of the times every minute of the year.

SHORTAGE IN SUPPLY OF CERTAN MINERALS STIMULATES INDUSTRY Magnesite Is One of Those Which Has Jumped in Produc tion Since War Started. A shortage In the supply of certain minerals needed In war has stimulated new industries and developments. Among these minerals Is mamesite. Until 1915 the United States produced only about 10,000 tons of magnesite an nually, although it used 300.000 tons. The domestic supply came from Cali fornia and the Imported material came rrom Austria. Hungary and Greece. In view of thla condition and the de crease in Imports, domestic production was greatly stimulated. According to estimates by C. G. Tale, of the United States geological survey, the production of magnesite in California In 1917 ex ceeded that of all former years, being estimated at 215,000 tons. This quantity and the magnesite produced In the re cently discovered field In Stevens coun ty. Wash., estimated by R. W. Stone, of the United States geological survey, at close to 100,000 tons, makes an output or about 315,000 tons in 1917, or 15,000 tons more than the normal domestic demand. The huge deposits of magnesite re cently discovered in Stevens county, Wash., are only a few miles from a rail road, with a down-grade haul for the load, and are so situated that they can be easily quarried. The Washington magnesite occurs in beds like limestone In thick lenses up to a quarter of a mile long, exposed on hillsides or ridge tops wnere large quarries can be opened. Magnesite Is used not only for mak Ing refractory brick and composition flooring, its principal uses, but in fire resistant paint, in the sulphite process of wood-pulp paper manufacture as a heat insulator or covering for steam pipes and bollers.tn magnesia cement, and for other purposes. Magnesia cement la used for making the decks of Bhips, the floors of hospitals, and the floors of railway cars as well as for floors of larger areas. It has been employed successfully In the European war for making gun emplacements. Its advan- tage for this use being that it quickly and has some resilience. seta Sp ain Will Assist Fruit Cultivators By a royal order published December 9. the Spanish government has appro priated $2,160,000 to be expended In as sisting cultivators of oranges, lemons, and grapes for exportation, tn the proT lnces of Alicante, Almeria, Castellon, Murcia and Valencia. Loans made under the conditions imposed by this royal order will not bear interest, but will be repayable to the Spanish treasury during a period of five .years at the rate of one fifth of the whole-amount each year. IMPORTANCE TO PRICE OF GOOD YARN HERE IS RELATIVELY SAME AS IN THE EAST Complaint That Portland Firms Are Overcharging Is Shown to Be Erroneous. Mrs. Wells, secretary of the war auxiliary central committee, a lady de voting nearly all her time to further ance of the interests of our army, and whose heart and soul is in her work. has felt , that local dealers in knitting yarns have been overcharging for theif products. Loyal to her own city the lady felt great reluctance to sending away for knitting material, but decided that difference in prices were so mani fest as to Justify such action. She therefore called at The Journal office to say that the prices charged here and those offered by New York and Rhode Island parties had Influenced several ladies to send their money away when, as a matter of fact, they much preferred trading with their home people. In reference to this the writer called on J. A. Zehntbauer, manager of the Portland Knitting company's store, 150 Third street, for the purpose of ascer taining the reason for the imposition of extraordinary charges in this city, pro viding the surmise of Mrs. Wells was correct Tarns and Tarns "There are yarns and yarns," Mr. Zehntbauer said, "and the lady to whom you refer must have been Imposed upon by the parties quoting her a price of 2.52 a pound laid down for yarn, when we were selling ours at 14.10 per pound, and which we now sell at 14.

DEA GAINS STEADILY "Two-bit" Sack, Uncertainty of Delivery and Patriotism Held Responsible. Bulk handling Is gaining In the farm ers' favor and making rapid progress In all parts of Oregon visited by the O. A. C specialists tn that line. The read I ness with which wheat growers have sized up the situation and are prepar- j ing for farm storage is relieving appre hension as to means -of handling the crop. Farmers in 20 well attended meetings In six counties were nearly unanimous in favor of bulk handling, reports -Professor G. H. Hyslop. "The 'two-bit' sack is helping the. movement, and the uncertainty of de livery of sacks Is hurrying It along," he says. "Some are preparing to use second hand bags, but most farmers will bulk 100 per cent from the start. "Asking the government to charter tonnage for shipping 'two-bit' sacks and burlap from India is considered by many progressive farmers as unpatriotic and unpractical when bulking is so much cheaper and need for shipping space is critical."

YEAR LARGE DESPITE CONDITIONS European Russia Bought .More Mowers and Reapers m 1917 Than Implements in 1913 In spite of the unsettled conditions. the total American trade with Russia amounted to $438,000,000 In 1917. a, de crease of only $39,000,000, as compared with 1916, according to an announce ment Issued by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Department of Commerce, This decrease was tn the trade with Asiatic Russia and Is at tributed to congestion and Import re strictions at Vladivostok. Trade with Russia in Europe, on the other hand, increased In spite of ail ob stacles. Imports from European Rus sia were larger than for any other war year, amounting to 112.000,004 over half of the normal Imports of 191$ ($22. $23,000) and 175 per cent more, than the fig-urea for 1916 ($4.479,000). Export to European Russia showed' a slight de crease, from $309,000,000 In 1916 to $313 000.000 In 1917. The 1917 total repre sents little more than the first It months of the year. Trade was practically sus pended In December, ' the exports amounting to only $816,000, as com pared with $23,000,000 in December, 1916. The exports for the year 1913 were only $26,000,000, but most of the sudden and abnormal expansion has been due to shipments of war supplies. Explosives, firearms, and copper; to gether accounted for $228,000,000 in 1917.
