Whitcomb, of Morgan, is the Inventor and patentee of a new tractor which he designates as a Four Cylinder; Eight-Wheel Flexi ble Tractor." He gave a public de monstration with the machine on his (arm near Morgan last Thursday, which was witnessed by many of his neighbors, as well as by a number of outsiders, among whom was a re presentative from the International Harvester Company. This gentle man who is much interested in the machine, pronounces It a complete success, and it is destined to outdo the caterpillar, he Bays as a utility machine for the farm. At this de monstration, Mr. Whitcomb pulled four plows in sod, running his engine on intermediate all the time, and it moved along with no difficulty what ever. The plows were very ami, so It is thought that the tractor will pull six bottoms Just as easily in sod when the plows are sharp and could take this number along in old ground and drag a harrow as well. The tractor is devised from an automobile and while the present machine docs not present as attractive an appear ance as he would like, Mr. Whitcomb states that when it is put on the mar ket. wh:.h he hopes o.i able to do ero long, there will be much im provement in that particular and Its utility will not be m the least ira laired. Mr. Whitcomb hopes to be able to interest some large machinery concern in his patents and get the machine on the market In a short time.

Ship building Is becoming one ot he greatest constructive Industries .hat appeal to the pride of the peo ple. The Seattle Construction & Dry Dock Co. is a striking Illustration of me unit of this great industry. It has 14,000,000 invested In its lant and when operating at full ca nity employes 5,000 men with an tggregate monthly payroll of $472 00. During 1916, It secured business iggregating $12,800,000. During the same year it spent on improvements o plant $340,000 and will spend '200,000 additional in 1917. The people of the Pacific Coast have been given a taste of ship building and have seen the benefits lerlved from this single line of in dustry. They are beginning to rea 'ize what individual companies em ploying thousands of workmen mean 'o a community. San Francisco, Seattle and Port land are fully awake to the benefits derived from an industry which brings millions of foreign capital to this Coast to be spent. The interior sections are realizing that this industry is making a sale tor their lumber, ores, hardwoods and many other products heretofore languishing for want of a market. Fair legislation both state and na tional, low taxes and satisfactory la bor conditions are necessary for the Permanent success of any great in- dutsry. Laws discouraging invest ment of American capital in Ameri can ships must be eliminated, taxes must be held down and measures looking to the settlement of costly labor disputes must be evolved.
