Confrrrnco Derides, on Drsirjn
5000-Ton Ship. .
After a conference lasting all day.
In which suggestions, criticisms and
changes of the first draft of the plans
for the 5000 ton wood ship to be built
in Oretron for the Emergency Fleet
corporation, details wer all aatanged
lato Monday afternoon and finnl plans
are now being drawn to be dent to
headquarters of the Emergency " Fleet
corporation In Philadelphia, for ap
proval.
The plans, as adopted by the com
mittee-Monday night, do not differ ma
terially from those first drawn under
the direction of Lloyd J. Wentworth,
district supervisor of wood ship con
struction, and J. V. Hall, assistant
supervisor. They provide for the use
of great timber? produced in th North
west and which cannot be usfed In
eastern built ships becaus of difficulty
in shipping them. A better and staunch -er
vessel, more easily built, will result
from the ue- of the big sticks.
The eWimlftee sitting Monday with
Messrs. Wentworth and Hall was cojn
pojed of J. H. Price, formerly designer
at the St. Helens Shipbuilding com
pany's plant and at other yards along
the coart : Charles Ruelinr. superin
tendent of the Peninsula Shipbuilding
company, and f. IC. Thayer, chief en
gineer of the Mc' acherTOJfhip com
pany. In acting upon the- plans and
considering designs, suirgf-Mion of the
American bureau and Lloyd's were con
sidered, as both are to approve the
plans before final acceptance by the
government.
To lessen danger to workman. L. H.
DeForde. employed In the Grant Smith-
Porter shipyards, has devised a plan of
placing wooden shoots arranged along
the ways. Into which Iron, bolts and
stray bits of wood may b thrown with.
out danger to the men blow. Sertoua
accidents often occur from th fall
ing of a piece of wood and DeForde's
plan would obviate many accidents of
this kind.

London. July 23. Th German wire
lea a of July 21 discovered a decline In
British shipbuilding and expressed the
belief that the desired production for
1918 could not be reached.' It gave some
figures to "prove" that "there has been
no extension of th production."
This concern for the British future
was quit unnecessary. British eh! re
building la going on splendidly, as the
following correct figures will show :
During th year ended Jun 19. 1117 -th
output of merchant tonnage la th
United Kingdom yards was 112,(82 tone
gross. During the year ended June 20.
191$, It was 1.421.160 gross tons, which
was an "extension of production" of
exactly $97,217. gross ton. This la an
extension of more than 71 per cent.;

Information has been received from

radio that at 7:30 a. m. on July II.
1918. when la latitude 42 degrees north,
longitude 124 degrees 60 minutes west,
passed s log about 30 feet long and 6
feet In diameter, also a tree about 20
feet long sad 2 feet m diameter, with
showers were reported In rather liberal 1
volume. The weather report showed a !
fall of .12 inch at Portland end .14 Inch
at Roseburg up to an early hour this
morning, and it was still raining.
Helps Valley Sprlsg Wheat
The spring wheat crop of the Willam
ette valley will be greatly aided by th
showers, the ralna appearing just In time
to save many, fields from destruction.
Winter wheat of the valley will not be
aided because it is now about ready for
harvest, although the showers will do
no harm In thia regard, for It will re
move much dust from the grain.
Most good will come to the vegetable
crops as a result 1 of the downpour.
While nothing mill aid the early potato
crop because it is practically ripe, the
late planting will receive great benefit
and there is promts of a near normal
crop of that planting if a few additional
shorn era are received.
Onions will be aided somewhat by th
rain, although th crop has suffered
greatly up to this time, and production
will be somewhat lees than in normal
seasons.
Big Help to Cerdea Track
Such crops Is cabbage and cauliflower
and small garden truck will receive big
benefits. Previous to the rain, th
crops were in a dpIorabIe condition in
all valley sections.
Fruit crops win receive only limited
benefit from the showers, aad this ben
efit will be confined aJrnoet exclusively
to apple. The berry crops have meetly
been gathered, therefore -will not be af
fected. Pears, however,' will improve
greatly aa s result 01 the moisture.
Much benefit will come to the dairy
and livestock Interests of the valley as
a result of the showers. The grssa has
