"All your armies will not defeat the

tools In this shipyard makes It that
much more impossible to get sufficient
'ammunition and food to the trenches
and the quitter here is as much a traitor
to the nation as the lad who sleeps on
his post In France, Colonel Gray de
clared. Interspersed with patriotic music by
the Foundation company band, the
meeting: closed when Colonel Gray
called for three cheers for the presi
dents of America and France, and a
voluntary1 cheer for the colonel was as
hearty as the first on. The Foundation
yards are working on vessels under
French government contract.
Colonel Gray left Thursday night for
Seattle and will return here In June to
make a series of addresses to men work
ing in Industries allied to shipbuilding.
FOUR SHIPS TO DIP IN DAY
A new riveting record for America
was established Thursday by a crew of
four men on the floors of hull IS, -of the
ship West View at the plant of the
Northwest Steel company, when 4089
rivets were driven In 8 hours 55 min
utes. M. R Knox was riveter of the crew;
W. A. ifeek, holder on ; B. Caswell, stick
er, and C, Zinn. heater. None of the
crew had had any experience previous to
)ast October.
" In accomplishing the record. 13 min
utes were lout in repairing a lever and
it was neceiieary to change dies 16
times because two different sizes of
rivets were usea, earn time requiring
ti minutes. There were driven 224 -Inch
rivets and 3865 -inch rivets in
riveting 32 floors.
"This Is a new "American record," ex
plained J. ft. Bowles, president of the
Northwest Steel company. .Thursday,
"and the boys deserve a great deal of
credit for establishing it. The previous
"record was made at the Detroit shlp-
building plant, where 3415 rivets were
driven In nine hours. The rivets used
there, however, were smaller and all of
. one size, requiring no change of dies.
Our boys beat that record about 25 or
80 per cent."
, The third best record for the United
States, It is known, is that of John
' Carrlgan of the Gibson Federal Ship
building company of Kaurney, N. J.
Carrlgan drove 2919 -lnch rivets In
eight hours.
In addition to being the best In
America, the record set in Portland
. Thursday was one ot the best established
In any shipbuilding center In the world.
The Scotch record, made by Robert
Farrant. Is 4276 rivets in nine hours,
but the size of the rivets used is not
known and. consequently, an exact com
parison cannot be made.
Pacific Coast Port Will Set Record
in Rushing Construction.
A Pacific Port, May 17. (I. N. S.)
Four big steel steamships will be
launched from local shipyards In 40 min
utes tomorrow evening. This quadruple
launching, putting more than 36,000 tons
of shipping Into the water, is said to
establish a record in the government's
program to rush the "bridge to France."
The Moore Shipbuilding company,
which set a world's record with a triple
launching on March 14, will send two
vessels of 9400 tons each into the water.
They are the Fresno and Oshawa, con
structed for the Emergency Fleet corporation.
The Bethlehem Shipbuilding corpora
tion branch will send the 11.800-ton
I freighter Volunteer Into the water. It
! is one of the most massive vessels ever
launched on the Pacific coast
The Governor John Lind, 5500 tons,
will be launched by the D. J. Hanlon
Drydock & Shipbuilding company.

gers. All of them, as a matter of course,
are claiming the county, and the state,
by handsome pluralities, but anyone
who has noted such performances in the
past has a lingering hunch that all of
them but one have always been badly
off on their addition after the votes
have been' counted.
Close down, "under their hats" so to
speak, the Wlthycombe managers whis
pered Thursday night that "it is blamed
close" only the adjective was much more
expressive and not born of too much
confidence or comfort. They are hoping
that Wlthycombe will carry Multnomah
county and are standing In the fast
ditch on that proposition
If harmony of guesses Is any Index
It is horse and horse In Multnoman .ne
tween Olcott, Wlthycombe and Moser,
with Simpson the disturbing factor In
the oamps of the three. Simpson, accord
lng to general belief, has hurt Withy
combe and Moser to a greater extent In
the county than he has harmed Olcott
Multnomah Yote Interests
Some contend that his vote will take
the county away from Moser, others that
his onslaught here will, rob the gov
ernor of the leading place In the county.
Few think that he has a chance to carry
the county, but many that he has thrown
a monkey wrench Into the machinery
of the other candidates.
In the political jnintl generally the
uiuugui seems to oe neiu uiai uio iuur
nomah county vote' will be decisive. If
Olcott carries the county, and there are
a lot of prophets who incline to that
belief, the probable, result will be a
widening of his margin of safety. If
Wlthycombe carries the county, and Ol
cott has his expected lead of upstate
votes, the final result will depend upon
whether the Wlthycombe lead in the
county would extinguish the Olcott up
state balance.
If Moser were to win It would make
no difference in the final result, unless
his Multnomah county vote assumed the
proportions of a landslide, and that is
not thought possible under any circum
stances, even with Simpson out of the
way. in other words tne interesting
thing about the Multnomah county vote
COS Progressive. 148C are Prohibitionists.
963 are Socialists and 2929 are not clas
sified. - v
In the primary election of llf the
total registration was 241.483. of which
thee were 11.(19 Republicans. 60.570
Democrats. 1275 Progressives. 6550 Pro
hibitionists, 5434 Socialists and 6884 mis
cellaneous.
At that election approximately 100.
000 Republican votes were cast, and upon
this same comparative basis both as to
registration and voting there should be
approximately 125,000 Republican -votes
cast today, or about 63 per cent of the
registration. It seems to be the general
assumption, however, that with the pub
lic mind occupied with the war and Its
varied local activities this percentage
will fall to some place between 40 and
50 per cent of the total.

Deciding Factor la Senatorsblp
. What Is true of the gubernatorial
battle is undoubtedly applicable to the
contest for the United States senator
ship being waged between McNary and
Stan field. Under all ordinary political
theories, and without judgment be
tween the chances of the two, McNary
should come into Multnomah county
with a plurality because of the big pre
ponderance of voting strength In the
Willamette valley over Eastern Oregon.
McNary Is popular, personally, in his
home district. Just as Stanfield Is
strong, personally, in hij district.
Western Oregon Is just as clannish
when It comes to voting against a West
ern Oregon man as is Eastern Oregon
In casting its vote against an Eastern
Oregon man. Western Oregon has many
more votes than Eastern Oregon, which
ought to give McNary the better of It
up to the gates of Multnomah. So, with
out going Into the general rumor that
Stanfield's candidacy is in a bad way
In his home county of Umatilla, or that
he is about to be disappointed In the
hoped for unanimity of his support from
Eastern Oregon, and without discussing
the general Willamette valley assump
tion that McNary will have a big lead
out of that district, the presumption is
reasonable that Multnomah county votes
will spell success or failure for Stan
field's senatorial ambitions.
So far as the fate of the congressional
fight for the Third district is concerned.
It, of course, rests In Multnomah county.
for that is the district. It is known
that McArthur is 111 at ease and fearful
of Lafferty, as he always seerris to be
in any contest in which he is a partici
pant. There do hot seem to be many,
however, who look upon Lafferty as a
winner.

CONCRETE PLANT
HERE TO BE URGED
By Bert Ford.
With the AmerU'&n Army on the
French Battle Fro.it. May 16. delayed.
(I. N. S.) Color Sergeant Thomas J.
Fink of Johnston City, Tenn., who is
among the American troops holding part
of the tine on the t'icardy front, has
been mentioned in general orders for
saving several comrades when a Ger
man shell burst near a "chow gun"
(portable cook stove).
Fink, who has been in the regular
army for 23 years, was enthusiastic
over the way the American guns have
been answering the Germans.
Hole Clear Throsrn Helmet
"Believe me, our guns have been keen
ing Heinle hopping." he exclaimed. "It
has been one biasing hell. Knemy com
munication is Impossible and the Huns
cannot bring up grub to their first line
most of the time. We give twice as
much as Is sent. That's Uncle Sam's
pace.
"But It was dangerous for too many
of the fellows to line up at once at the
old 'chow gun' barn fthe cook had evi
dently established himself In a barn),
for the German shells were snapping;
everywhere. Suddenly a Hun shell
burst right in th kitchen, killing three
and wounding a few others. It sure
bowled me over. too. The old barn just
tumbled down and pinned some of our
fellows under the wreckage, but 1 man
aged to drag them out. For once the
guys who kicked because I wouldn't let
them crowd around the 'chow gun gath
ered about and patted me on the back.
"Benny Owen of Marion. 111., was put
out by the concussion. Private John
Mitchell got a bit of shrapnel in his
helmet, which bored a hole clean through
it without touching the scalp. Johnny
sure prizes that derby."
Pats lne Hsni to Rent
Then Sergeant Fink digressed :
"But the gamest guy I know of, and
I can't think of his name now, was a
youngster who was. captured by a Ger
man patrol of nine men. The kid had
all his pockets full of hand grenades,
but he wallted meekly enough along with
his captors almost to their front line.
Well, he kept waiting until the Helntes
would get in a bunch and when they
did, he pulled otH- the grenades and let
go at them, scattering the Boches like
ninepins. Sergeant Frits Sauer. who
was in charge of the German patrol, fell
right across our guy, who came back
to our lines, dragging the leader of the
German patrol as his own personal pris
oner. Ttiat was" some kid, all right."
The capture of Sergeant Frltx Sauer
was officially recorded as described by
Sergeant Fink.
Farmers Feeding ;
Livestock at Loss

Capital Required
In Dairy Farming
Very few people realize the amount
of money invested in the dairy farms ot
the country. The department of agri
culture reports that cn January 1, 1918.
there were 23.3S4.000 milch cows on
farms in the United States, and these
cows were valued at $1,653,639,000. Add
to this figure the value of lands, build
ings, and machinery used in dairy farm
ing, and the aggregate is stupendous.
