AMERICAN OARS THE BEST.
They Are Made by Machinery and
Used All over the World.


From the New York Sun
Oars arc made Of ash and of spruce
by far the greater number of ash-in fac
tories located mostly in Western states
east of the Mississippi river in proximity
to the forests whence the wood of which
the oars are made is taken. Oars are
made almost wholly by machinery, some
hand work being done in finishing them.
Ash oars are made in various lengths,
ranging from six feet to twenty feet;
they are used for all working purposes
and for many pleasure boats. Spruce oars
of six to ten feet in length are likely
TO be used by people who row for pleas
ure, and the spoon oars from six TO FOUR
teen feet in length for racing are made
of spruce.
American oars are used pretty much all
over the world; in many countries a.
most exclusively. The British govern
ment for years bought all Of the oars
used on its war vessels in this country,
making a new contract yearly. The con
tract for the present years supply Is held
by a New York city firm having fac
tories in the West. American oars are
used on French, German, Italian ana
Dutch ships.
The oars exported TO European countries
are chiefly of lengths from ten feet up
ward. oars of shorter lengths they sup
ply themselves. To Australia the United
States send oars of all lengths and the
same is true Of South Africa. Up ara
down the coast OF South America none but
American oars are used, and in any har-
Dor in the world where q man Is seen
rowing boat in China, Japan. anywhere.
1t is more than likely that he is pulling
with American oars.
The present annual output OF American
oars is estimated at 100000 feet. enough
to reach in an unbroken line of oars pIac-
ed end to end, from, say New York 70
Chicago. 1t has been greater. The de-
crease is due to The use Of the bicycle and
to the largely increased use Of launches
ard various other small craft propelled by
steam and other motive powers. These
agencies have been most effective in this
country. but they are now in some degree
operative In all parts of the world
great many more are still used, however.
and there are factories in which nothing
else Is made.
