(Continued on page 4) STEEL SHIP BUILDING INCREASING IN U. S. Ibis C om I d k Fast Appraachmf Butty With Gnat Britan ia Tints In the building of steel merchant vessels the ship yards of the United States are almost on a par with those of England, long fam««! for the extent and superior character of their work. On October I. accord ing to the bureau of navigation figures, there were building or orders placed in the yards of this country 417 steel ship* for freight and passenger traffic, of 1.454.27U gross tons, and in the British yard* 469 ships of 1.7X9,063 gross ton* During September this country's yards finished 19 steel vessels and look contracts for 47 new vtweels, about half of which are for Nor- w«*gian concern* Owing to the slow delivery of machinery and engine* in England, the British ami Ameri can output to about equal. Representative« of Norwegian capital have arrived in New York to look after die wu k lieing tlhire and tn study manufacturing and finan cial subject* of interest to that country. These visitor* say that Norway ami other Scandinavian countries are likely to continue to make heavy drafts u|»on the ship building am! manufacturing resour ce« of thia country. Another giwx! feature aleiut the contracts for the ships is that they are to be us«*d to a large ext«*nt in traffic between Norway and the Unite«! States. An idea of the growth of the steel •hip building industry since the war tM-gan can be obtained from the fact that the contracts for new ship« placed in September were e«|ual in number to all the merchant steel tonnage building or under contract in the United State* on Julv 1. 1914. * The United States was far lichind in the matter of ship building when the war le-gan. but the energy dis played In the last year and a half bids fair to retrieve in large part the liackwardnea* hitherto prevail ing. As a maritime nation this country will cut a considerable figure when the war ia over. This will en able the shipper* to secure s|>ace in freighters floating the star« and ■trip«** an«! largely release exporter* from the dominion of foreign ship owner«. Salem and Eugene have just found that Oregon will grow fiax equal to any other country in the world. Linn county ascertaine«l this fact some 25 or 30 years ago. In fact Allmny had a twine factory manufacturing the l«**t quality of twine. Scio hud a «cutch mill, which if practical flax m«m had the management of, would have been a auccesa. Yea Oregon can raise the fiax. There ia no doubt ai«out that. The market for the product to the question. Almoat everybody, especially the ladies, complain of our «loppy street crossing*. Even farmer*, when in town, tell u* about our new stvle of crosswalk*.
