Mr. VanDuzer, accompanied by J. H.
Bloedel, member of the fir production
board of Seattle, presented the car sit

eral McAdoo and the national railway
commission and received assurances
that empty cars will be sent to relieve
the situation as soon as they can be re
leased at eastern terminals.
Mr. VanDuzer says that there is no
congestion of traffic weBt of Chicago,
and that the situation In the Kast is
rapidly clearing up. Increased shipping
is being put into requisiton daily, and
facilities constructed on an Immense
cale for rapid handling of freight at
Eastern terminals.
It-cord Movement of Timbers
During the three weeks Mr. VanDuzer
was in Washington more than a dozen
trains of 45 cars each loaded with ship
timber from Oregon and Washington ar

Considerable adverse criticism was ac-
corded the Northern Pacific railway for t
refusing to allow shipments of automo- i
biles consigned to a Portland firm to be
diverted to San Francisco upon their
arrival here. A total of 104 car loads of
automobiles from points in Michigan
was shipped to Portland overs Northern
Pacific lines from February 26 to March
14. a train of 49 gondolas arriving on the
latter date. The consignees In Port-
land wltthed to divert several of these B. W.arren. At 184 Burnside street

Reduce Expense.
Camp Lewis, American Lake, Wash.,
March 23. Aggregating $1,146,000, the
largest amount of construction, other
than the actual building of the canton- j
ment. has been recommended to the war
department for Camp Lewis by a board
appointed to Investigate the Immediate
needs.
The plans, made public today, include
widening of the Pacific highway for the
seven miles within the government reser- i
vatlon ; construction of additional offi
cers' quarters and barracks , a cold stor
age plant ; painting all the buildings out
side, and extensive steam track additions.
The recommendatons in detail as they
were approved and forwarded to Wash
ington are:
Details of Improvements
Construction of coal, wood and vege
table sheds, $13,600 ; one for each bar
racks, of which there are nearly 300.
For changes inside the barracks chief
ly increasing the size of the orderly and
supply rooms, $17,000.
For painting all buildings, $100,000. It
is proposed to apply a heavy coating of
cement color paint with fire resisting
qualities, while the roofs wil receive a
heavy coat of roof paint.
For enlarging kitchen sinks, $6000.
The camp cooks declare they can do
more efficient work if this Is done.
A small bulding, divided into three
rooms, for tallor, barber and shoe shops
for each company, at a cost of $200,000,
More Room for Officers
Because there are more officers in
camp than accommodations, due to ad- ,
ditional men needed for training, it has
been necessary In some cases to put two i
officers in a room 6x8. designed to hold '
only ne. Officers' quarters are, there- '
fore, recommended, with assembly halls,
the total cost to be $140 000. The assem- re war was Deing iougni, ine company aim pujpn rtgaruing me aeinmentai ln

An auxiliary steam pump for the
ater system for emergency purposes
ls included at a cost of $11,000. I
It Is recommended that $16,000 be
spent in increasing the water storage
in the hill reservoir, as an increase
would make it possible to shut down
tne pomps at the peak load of the
electrical consumption and, it is said,
the saving thus effected would make
the investment more than pay for
itself.
For railroad extension $25,000 is asked.
This additional trackage, chiefly on the
soutn side, would practically double the
present mileage.
It ls desired to spend $20,000 in im-
proving the steam heating eouiDment

Windows to Be Installed
An item of 120.000 Is tnr-lurlAfi for in.

stables, with $4000 for additional stable
guard houses.
Harness and saddle shops are pro-
posed for each organization, one small
Dulldlng for each corral, at a total cost
of $1,000, with 10 additional black
smith shops to cost $8000.
Concrete flooring has been found most

floors in all stables to cost $150,000 is
made.
Windows to permit craylleht where
electricity is now being used for light-
ing some of the warehouses Is pro -
posed, at a cost of $25,000.
Improvements to roads in the canton-
ment will cost $179,000. This includes
$112,000 for the widening of the Pacific
highway, $25,000 for the road lead-
ing to Roy and the artillery tar-
irpf run w i9nnn . i t
chase of road machinery, and S20.-

This would provide hard surfacing of all
the main highways In camp. An item

proviaea.

431 East Thirty-ninth street.
' Couldn't feel any better," he writes.
The letter ls one which would be ex
pected frpm a boy in college rather than
a fighter In the grim business of bat
tling the Hun
"Those pickles, cake, cookies and
cigarettes were great."
Th? word "great" was written in cap

the other plants to clone are those at
Los Angeles and Denver.
Mr. Jones gives as a reason for this
that the Ford factory at Detroit will be
pruautuon.
"Tne closing of the Portland branch
does not mean that there will not ba
any more Fords," said Mr. Jones, "but
.merely a curtailment or production, as
this territory will be sumIled with cars
from the branch of the Ford company
at Seattle.
This plant has a larger capacity and
greater trackage facilities, which will
enable It to turn out cars at the rate of
100 per day. At the present time, how
ever, only 75 cars per day are being
assembled and an allotment of 220 cars
per month will be assembled for the
Portland dealers. The cars will be
shipped to the Portland plant and will
be driven away to the dealers' sales
rooms. Dealers throughout the balance
of the state will receive their allotment
direct from Seattle.
The offices of the Portland plant will
continue to be kept oen. as well as
the shop, parts and stock department.
When the plant ls running 110 men aro
employed, but under the shut down order
only 25 men will be retained to take cara
of the plant. All emiloyes affected by
the new order will have the opportunity
to accept positions with the Seattla
branch. Roy Gutz. who is superintend
ant of the Portland plant, will be as
sistant superintendant of the Seattle
branch.
During the shut down the local plant
will not be utilized for other purposes.
