MANY SAMITES BUILDING SHIPS Ivan Martin and R. K. Page Feel at Home in Big Portland Plants. Salem people who recently have visited the shipyards at Portland and Asoria are struck wtth the fact that a huge portion of Salem's popula tion is either on the job of construc tion, or doing guard duty. Ivan Mar tin, who made a trip of exploration througbt the Portland, yards estimat ed that there are several hundred at that point alone. Among others he noted that II. N. Stoudenmeyer, formerly of this city, was one of the foremen In the Foundation Ship company yards; others were Claude Townsend, Roy Craven. John Waters. Arna Crossan, Fred Mclntyre, Harry Eisman. Robert ' Savage. Sam Burk hardt. George Pettingill. Orr Royal, the three Pinckney brothers, former ly In the dairy business here. Dick Churchill. Miss Hattie Runlett and Mrs. Crane,' the latter two In clerical positions. Mr. Martin states that there are no less than 4000 men at work on the three shifts In the Foundation yards, and the whirlwind of activity, especially as it goes on under the glare of electric lights at night. Is exceedingly interesting and almost bewildering. This company now has twenty ships under way, ranging from 4000 to 8800 tons, and has recently launched the eighth vessel since the first of the year. Salem Ites also come in for a share of federal commendation for the fact that the employes in this yard made up a total of $416,560 In subscrip tions for liberty bonds.

Will Landon. now foreman of one of the departments. uollln K. Page, 'wno also recently returned from a trip to Portland and Astoria, noted scores of Salem people In both cities. He counted not less than a hundred vessels In the dif ferent yards, either completed or In process. Extension from Yaqrnna to Newport Is Begun For the reasons that the govern ment already has begun an exten sion of the Southern Pacific line from Yaquina to Newport, and that the public service commis'sion would not have jurisdiction even if the gov ernment had not' assumed control of railroads, the commission has dis missed a complaint of the Newport Commercial club against the South ern Pacific in which the extension was demanded. The railroad com pany moved to dismiss the case on the grounds that the commission lacked jurisdiction and the Newport club agreed that the motion was well taken. ' Fuel Wood May Be Excepted from Minimum Rate Charge Because of the exhorbitant price of fuel wood the public secrvlce com mission has sent a telegram to Di rector General McAdoo suggesting that this commodity be excepted from the $15 minimum freight charge. . The message explains that many cars carry only .fourteen cords of. wood (id that from points taking a rate of less than $1 a corl It Is unjust to exact a minimum freight charge of $15.
