George? B. 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.

Growing Pacific Coast Industry.
(The Manufacturer.)
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.
