The Oregon ian never had a sharp
competition in Multnomah county until
the Troutdale Champion hove in sight.
Of the recent election the Champion
says : "The way the Oregonian doesn't
-succeed in electing the republican ticket
in Portland is quite remarkable. It ex
cased its failure in the county election
on the ground that the people were not
in accord with those political war-
horses Lotan and Simon, bat in the city
election it can put forwarded no such
excuse. Neither Lotan nor Simon fig
ured in the election. During the can
vass and on the day of election Simon
was in the east and Lotan was attending
strictly to his private business, and the
Oregonian had a splendid opportunity
-to show what it could do as a leader in a
fair fight in an open field. It made i
failure. Got knocked out. Whipped
We feel sorry for our contemporary in
its discomfiture."
The route of the railway now in course
of construction from Astoria to trans
connection, is wisely concealed from
boomers by the managers. This species
of genus homo which has followed the
casap of the N. P. R. R. and others so
faithfully, find it, extremely difficult to
keep at the head of the procession with
Mr. Goss, but as a pointer the following
bit of soothing information is thrown
out by the Astorian: Whether the road
will head for Hillsboro and take up the
Oregon Pacific line or trend away to the
-southeast and push from Eugene through
-the Bohemian country and cross the

county, is probably known to Mr. Goes
. alone in this community. . It is entirely
safe to conjecture that it will go one of
the two wavs." To which The Chkon-
iclk begs to add : "Possibly both."
The old spirit of mercantile adventure
' is reviving in Oregon. Two vessels have
.'been sent abroad already with specula
tive cargoes, and the Tillie E, Starbuck
Is about to follow. . She will go to New
York, possibly, with a cargo composed

This, says the Astorian, recalls the time
when Robert E. Gray came round .the
Horn with a cargo which he exchanged
in part for furs, and then sailed -,for

but foresight and enterprise will still
reap liberal reward in marine ventures.
It is sheer nonsense to talk of "Oppo
sition to Clarksons" designation as
chairman ' of the national republican
committee. ne cua not expect it.
vampDeu is selected oecause "ne was a
personal friend of the candidate nomi

anybody. .
It is a charming condition of affairs
when both sides in a political wrangle
such as the Cleveland-Hill fight can de
rive comfort from the same, convention.
-While it may not exactly foreshadow a
jwlitical millenium, it is a beatific con
dition where good cheer and comfort are
extracted by antagonists from the agen
cies set in motion to bring injury and
disaster to each other.

IRON A1U) WOOD SHIPS
MATERIALS USED IN SHIPBUILDING
.', AND THEIR 'VALUE. '
The Feints la Which Iron sad Staal Are
Superior HVond Their Lightness
sad durability mad the Comparative
Safety of All Kinds of Vessels.
The three materials used in the. con
struction of ships in general are wood,
iron and steeL Wood has been to use
from time immemorial. Iron is only
about fifty years old, and steel is easily
within the memory of every man - of
moderate years. ' The importance of the
three materials are inversely as stated
steel being the most valuable, then iron
and last wood. . Noticeably is this so in
the construction of swift steamships,
for wood is unsuited to the great engine
power nowadays put into ships; it can
not properly stand the strain. ;
: Iron ships are superior to wooden ones
in the following particulars: Lightness
combined with strength, durability when
properly treated, ease and cheapness of
construction and repair and safety when
properly constructed and subdivided. In
wooden ships it has been found that
about one-half of the total weight of the
sup is required for the trail, whereas in
iron ships only from 80 to 40 per cent of
the weight is thus taken up. .For -instance,
in a wooden armored warship,
the weight of the hull being 60 per cent
of the displacement leaves SO per cent.
for the weights to be carried. ' In an iron
armored warship the weight of the hull
is only 40 per cent., leaving 60 per cent,
for weights to be carried.
The tensile strength of iron is from
40,000 pounds to 60,000 pounds per square
men, and tins strength can be secured
throughout all the metal used, so that
the material worked into the ship is uni
form and homogeneous.- These are quali
ties wanting in wood; the greatest care
cannot eliminate such weak spots as are
due to the presence of knots, crossgrain.
hidden defects, etc. Generally good
sound timber may be said to have a
strength to resist pulling apart (tensile
strength) of about 10,000 pounds. -
IBOtr FAR SUPERIOR TO WOOD.
When in shipbuilding it comes to
fastening pieces together, as, for in
stance, in making a ship's keel or her
deck beams, the weakness caused by
scarnng tne pieces of wood together be
comes an element of strength in riveting
tne iron, jno matter now it may be nee
esssarr to treat the pieces of metal.
whether by riveting or welding or by
angle irons, the iron stands far above
the wood in resistance to tensile strains.
It is only when resisting strains of com
pression that there is a tendency- of iron
plates to buckle, and thii is guarded
against by making the plates thicker
than is required for other strains or by
re-enrorcing tnem.
Durability is a quality of iron that is
not yet thoroughly determined. ' in tren
eral, a wooden ship may be said to last
about fifteen -years. Some last lontrer.
but there will be much patching and re
newing to be done. . The rules of Lloyds
allow about fourteen years as the aver
age durability of the best built timber
vessels.
Iron is not subject to the internal
sources of decay to which wood is liable.
Worms and marine animals cannot in
jur it, nor will it - rot from imperfect
ventilation, in either can the Darts work
loose from the motion and straining of
tne snip, allowing water to get in and
cause decay. The danger to iron lies in
the rusting or corrosion, esneciallv in
the under water parts outside from the
sea water and inside from the hihra
water, ine -only prevention is careful
watching, cleaning and painting, and
even wjth all this supervision galvanic
action is likely to do some damaee.
Therefore the life of an iron ship is lim
ited, and in the present state of knowl
edge of the subject may be set down as
approximately thirty years, for. though
a ship will last longer, extensive repairs
wui nave to be made that will cost con
siderable money. .
STEEL BETTER THAN IRON. '
it is also easier to repair an iron shin.
since the necessary shape can be turned
out at once. - The rapidity with which
an iron ship can be built counts for
much. In the present dav the ease with
which iron is obtained and worked 'con
stitutes another element' of cheamtess.
for the final cost today must amount to
nearly 25 per oent. less, especially when
the time, preparation, saving of weight
ana me or tne snip are considered.
As to the safety of a ship when . prop
erly constructed and subdivided, it is
only necessary to say that when the in
ternal- space - of an iron ship is sub
divided into many ' compartments by
longitudinal - or transverse - partitions
rising to a sufficient height, or by hori
zontal platforms, or inner skin, and all
such divisions are made water tight, then
that snip is safer than any wooden ship
would be against foundering,- for the
space required for these bulkheads can
not be found in a timber built vessel.
; Theaabject of steel may be briefly dis
cussed by remembering that steel is sim
ply a superior kind of iron, and by vir
tue of - its greater strength is of lighter
weight. The strength, of steel is from
70,000 to 100,000 pounds per square inch.
oteex : is as strong lengthwise as it is
broadwise;-' iron is one-fifth stronger
lengthwise than it is broadwise. The
elastic umit or steer is about 25 "per
cent, greater than that of iron. So steel
may be , trusted with . workings, loads
nearly 25 per cenL greater than the oth
er , material. Lloyds estimate that by
building ships of steel there is a saving
in weight over iron of about 15 per cent,
or, to put - the same thing in another
Way, a steel ship of the same dimensions
as an iron ship would have, an increased
cargo capacity (m weight) of some 15 or
w per cent, -In
the matter of cost, steel ia more ex
pensive at nrst, but the best proof of its
ultimate cheapness is found in the in
disputable fact that modern merchant
ships are being' built of steeL - In 1830
there were 580 steel shins built. 90 iron
and 27 composite and wood. There need
be no further anrument as to the su
periority of steel from every point of
view. jjiew xotk xunes. '
