DURING LAST YEAR 1,45I o1iTo

OF 614,216.
Year Ending June 80 Last, Was Biggest
in History of Boat Construction
i'm United States.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-That the
banner year of American shipbuildlnG
closed on June 80 last will no dou5'
come as a surprising statement to the
general reader. yet it is made on the
authority of the United States Ship
ping Commissioner, Eugene Tyia,
Chamberlain. He gives documentary
evidence to substantiate it. The totai
number of vessels built in the United
States during the fiscal year ended on
that date was 1,457, with gross ton
mage of 614,216.
output we must turn back more than
half a century, to the fiscal year end
ed June 80, 1855, which had total
product of 5S3,45O gross tons. The in
crease for 1908 was 426,651 gross tons
against 4O9,O99 gross tons for 1855
Nor is that the only gratifying fea-
ture of the years showing to American
pride The total documented mer-
chant shipping of the United States az
the close of the fiscal year, comprising
25,425 vessels of 1856, 445 gross tons, is
the largest in the history of the United
States and is larger than the tonnage
under any other flag except the British
to which the current volume of Lloyd s
Register assigns 1853 vessels, of IS,
109,537 tons.
The same authority credits Ger
many with 2,17S vessels Of 4,232 Jas
tons. Such comparative facts must al
ways be qualified by the observation
that over one-t third of our merchant
tonnage is employed on the Great
Lakes and the great bulk Of the re-
mainder, is employed in purely domes-
tic transportation.
During the year we had but seven
steamships regularly crossing the
Atlantic to Europe, and recently two
of these have been transferred to a
foreign flag. Crossing the Pacific

ss5 yards was 2:4S:0S. The race was
in Madison Square Garden, before a
crowd of 10000 people.
From the starters gun to the end
of The race, the Italian led the Ameri-
can, spurred on by the cheers and
plaudits of his emotional countrymen.
In the seventh mile Dorando started
a heart breaking sprint which Hayes
was unable to follow, and when half
mile had been run the foreigner had
gained lap.
Again in the 18th mile, after he had
taken a breathing spell, the italian cut
out pace that Hayes was unable to
follow and annexed another lap. Thence
toward the finish, Dorando simply
logged behind Hayes, winning the race
in easy fashion.

GOOD PROGRAM AT
MOVING PICTURE STOW

The popular little moving picture
show on Fourth between Main and
Alder is offering it's patrons today a
complete change of program. The four
films, Malta the Secret Society,"
-Four Sweethearts," "a Modern Naval
Hero" and "a Rejoicing Dream are
so admirably varied in sentiment as
to please and satisfy the morose or the
gay. The songs are all new and in
teresting and the entire program sc
well balanced that it will undoubtedly
draw patronage for the little show

OF the seagoing vessels embraced in

the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, 3,172 OIL
the Great Lakes and 3,195 on the

classification is into 1926 steam and

vessels 1874 are contracted of metal
and 9,112 of wood, while of the sail
ing vessels 1914 are of wood and
only 1875 Of metal.
Of the steamers built during the
year, however, 1872 are of metal
against los for the previous year. Elk
actly 800 more vessels were built in
1908 than in 1907, and of the total
output OF 614,216 tons, 450,017 tons
