Gleam of Hope in Announcement
of Shipping Board That New
Ships Are Destined for Pacific
ALMOST DENUDED OF- BOATS
'Ballin' Type Ships Will Be Sub
ject to Shipping Board; May
Be Ordered to Use Columbia.
Washington, May 11. ( WASHING
TON BUREAU OK THW JOURNAL..)
There In a new gleam of hope for the
trans-Paotflo and coastwise trade In
the announcement of the shipping board
that most if the 100 additional wood
ship to be built on the coast are de
tained for use In Pacific waters.
This also gives sign of a poller of
preparing to replace shipping which
has been withdrawn for the trans-Atlan
tic service. There has been a steady
withdrawal for more than a year of
ships' of the faster and larger classes,
denuding: the Pacific of all Its best car
riers. Another step was taken In! the
shipping; deal with Japan, which will
Inevitably b.e felt In the Pacific, also.
as Japanese ships are taken out.
Whllo determined to build larger ships
than the 3,000 ton Ferris type, the ship
ping board feared that to equip them
with engines powerful enough to send
them through the water at "Ferris
speed" would disorganize the produc
tion of engines. So it was decided to
continue the use of the same engines,
with a lowered speed for the larger
types.
"Balllns" May Play Big Part
' Ships making only nine knots an hour
are in contrast to the clippers of pre
war days, but It is expected that the
Pacific coastal waters will appreciate
having some kind of ships to replace
what have been taken away.
Portland may gain the place of
home port for some of the new wood
fleet of ''Balling." These will be gov
ernment vessels, subject to the orders
of the shipping board, and may there
fore be directed, if the authorities so de
ride, to make use or the ports of the
Columbia river and promote the natu
ral development of trade down that
watercourse to the outside world. These
ships may yet play an important part
n bringing the Columbia river ports in
io tneir own.,

CongresHman Isaac Bacharach of
New Jersey, has the unusual distinc

OF COAST
PORTS
Its purpose to take over big hotel at
Cape May, N. J., for use as a recon
struction hospital. A contract had been
arranged by which the government was
to pay rental of S99.000 a year for the
period of the war and one 'year there
after..-..
Mr. Bacharach learned that the hotel
had only recently been sold for $75,000.
tie called this to the attention of the
war department and suggested that
the rental was too hig' The war de
partment agreed with him and ordered
the property returned to the owners.
Now Mr. Bacharach has a candidate
against him for renomination, and there
seems little doubt that the hotel issue
is . relied upon as the thing to secure
his defeat Local pride Was hurt, and
Capo May Is said to be in vevolt over
Itls having spoiled a great government
development.
Standardize Farm Implements
Agricultural Implements will be stand
ardized and the number of "styles" will
be vastly reduced under plans formulat
ed -by the commercial, economy board
of the, council of national defense.
which will soon issue format recom
mendations for the elimination of cer
tain sixes and types..
Committees which. have been consider
ing the question- have reported that
about 2,000 styles can be omitted with
out any substantial loss of efficiency in
the field. These are-types which have
been produced in the strenuous compe
tition of peace days, with manufactur
ers striving to turn out something new
or novel.
Before: the program is put into effect
a questionnaire will be sent out to man
ufucturers and jobbers, and an effort
will be made to reach as many retail
dealers as possible, also.
Federal Regulation" of Wool
Reports of wool stocks on hand in
the United States, as compiled by the
department of Agriculture to April,
show 427.000.000; pounds, greasa w6ol
equivalent, in the hands of dealers and
manufacturers. Portland, Or,, was
credited with 4,158,603 pounds, and' San
Francisco 406,530 pounds.
Under the plans worked out for fed'
era! regulation of wool the dealers will
make advances to the growers ' at the
time of. Shipment. They will not buy
wool, but will deal i consignment,
with their commissions regulated by the
government. Smaller dealers "grouped
at Boston are considering the formation
of a large corporation through which
funds for. advances will be supplied.
The purpose of the government, it is
stated, is to interfere as little as may
be necessary with, the ordinary chan
pels of the wool trade to protect the
interests of the government to enforce
its price regulations, and to secure a
fair distribution of - the surplus which
remains after the needs of the army
and navy have been cared for.
8U1I Debating Wheat Price
Senator Gore continues to hammer
with great tenacity on his demand for
$2. 50 wheat, which, he says, would add
only one cent to the price of a loaf of
bread. This is better, he says, with a
good supply of bread, than a lower
price without bread.
Since the prices of wheat substitutes
are higher, says the Oklahoma senator,
"the farmer will naturally and1 very
properly sow- land to that which will
bring a larger return," unless he is
given more for wheat. His claim that
farmers will not grow a proper acreage
of wheat without more encouragement
is vigorously contested by some other
senators.
Senator Pomerene of Ohio, - for ex

Some of the marines who have bark
ened to the call to the colors have al
ready had their portion of the thrills
of the fortune-hunter on the peaceful
Pais island. South Carolina. The boys
found a real treasure chest 'which had
been 'burled in. the earth njany years
before by a Mexican gulf pirate. The
lads were digging a trench such as tj
used in modern warfare, when, lo ! they
unearthed the half-decayed treasure
box, which contained thousands of dol
lars in valuable metal.
The marines tugged, at the great box
until it came to the surface, and then
the wheat price may not be right, are
more concerned in the fa!ct that when
prices are fixed on manufactured prod
ucts the manufacturers are assured a
margin of profit, while , the farmer is
merely given a flat price which may
not produce a profit.
German Books Destroyed
Shell- Lake. Wis., May tl. Although

teaching of German in the high school,
classes in . that study may have to be
abandoned temporarily at least, as un

destroyed all the German textbooks In

they counted the spoils. They sold the
metal for the benefit of the families of
dependent marines. Their work was
well rewarded.
The Oregon lads who have answered

In the ever-chaniring scenes among dif

the thrill of battle which awaits the

New York, May 11. "I used to feel

her."
Such was the defense entered by Syd

In General Sessions here today. Shell

times that he could remember and
maybe more. He declared he sold a
hair restorer and could not withstand
tha charms of pretty unmarried girls.
