He has been wounded five times and has ! ie arm ln bttle during the war.

OREGON'S IS 131 CRAFT IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS State's Contribution to the Chain of Ships That Will Hang Kaiser's Hopes Amounts to 533,700 Tons. Oregon district has built and launched 131 links in the chain ships that will hang the kaiser to the masthead of the waterlogged schooner of false hope, and In the act, has burled Hohenzollern dreams of conquest under 583.700 tons of solid Douglas, fir and steer plate. All this great production record ' has been achieved within the brief era of tho shipbuilding activity in this state, dat ing to all intents and purposes from the final days of 1916, or less than two years. The history ot Oregon's new' industry is a remarkable one. On December 13. 1918, there were three yards building steel ships and six constructing vessels of wood. Today there are five steel building plants and 17 wood shipyards, three of which have not been completed. Besides having launched 13 vessels, the Oregon district has kn additional 105 ships on the ways, with a total tonnags of 370,400. The total amount of un completed contracts is estimated to be in the neighborhood of $225,000,000. Over 4S.00S Workers It has required a faithful army of tollers to hang up the Oregon produc tion record ; that today refuses to bow before that of any other district of 'near ly its else in the world. At the time of the last estimate of the employed popu lation of shipyards in this district there were 41,400 men actually engaged ln building ships, and not including added thousands who are In industries directly allied. This number will be rapidly in creased within the next few months. On December 10, 1916, there were only ' 4200 me(l gaining livelihood In the building industry of the Oregon district. : The list of vessels launched in Ore gon has been carefully kept by the Portland Chamber of Commerce, which submits the following as the record of production by yards: Alblna Engine A Haekine Works.
