preference may be for steel bottoms, it
Is our plan now to build nothing but
wooden vessels. They are Just as ser.
viceAble as steel for carrying bulky car
gees, but it is next to impossible to get
steel. The shipping interests will take
any Eihd Of ships that they can get and
some OF them even prefer wood.
The superior advantages of build.
ing wooden instead of steel vessels in
Portland are obvious. Each ship will
take about 100000 feet of lumber. The
consumption of Oregon forest products
therefore will be limited only by our
capacity to build.

scale that approaches the proportions
Of the demand for ships, we ought to
employ no fewer than 1900 menomost

Of the First Christian church Sunday
school. 1t was decided today to send
the auto for the children living in West
Salem and Highland. The Highland
jitney does not run on Sunday and as
several of the children live dozen
blocks from the ear line, this new plan
was decided on, in order to bring up the

MOOSE APPROACH
1000 MEMBER GOAL

There are 913 Moose here.

by J. E. Newcomb, organizer, as pre-

paign which will be staged after the
dedication Of the old Miller homestead
North Tenth street between B and C

ceremony of the Moose lodge and the

the great home at Mooseheart, ILL.,,
where 400 children of members are
being given vocational training in fine
buildings surrounded by cottages
where the pupils live, is one of the big
factors in gaining and holding mem
bers of the Loyal Order of Moose. The

ana want to hear Hughes discuss the
issues of the campaign, of which there
are three that stand out above all
others. These are the tariff, the Mexi
can question and the Adamson eight
hour law
Indiana Republicans are especially
anxious that the eight-hour law shall
have a thorough airing, SO that the
people may know exactly what it is
and what it means. The vigorous
manner in which Hughes has been at
lacking the proposition probably
means that before he is through with
his Indiana trip the people will have
a better understanding of the whole
matter
Other Leaders Idle.
There is little else in Republican
state politics this week The Hughes
trip is the one big thing, and every.
body is interested In it. Many of the
party organization officials at the
state headquarters are absent while
the Hughes train is scooting over the
state. However, the work of the head
quarters is going ahead, just the same,
and 1t is busy place.
The Democrats are starting cam
paign to organize railroad employees
for Wilson all over the state, but it is
said that their efforts thus far have
been rather discouraging. They have
found that the passage of the so-called
eight-hour law has not been as popu-
lar with railroad men as they had
hoped it would be, because, as Hughes
has been pointing out, they are finding
that it is not an eight-hour law at all,
but law that increases wages and
leaves railroad the free to work their
employees as long as before.

ed the engineer not to recommend a
type of bridge SO expensive that it
would prevent the erection of south

reminded that the county will soon

placing or repairing the Doran bridge.
Mr.. Kohl asked the engineer to con.

Mr.. Harrington said that concrete
if properly constructed and made is
more substantial than most masonry.
He said that much care should be ex-
