TO BUILD IMMENSE FLEET
Pacific Coast Capitalists viii Go Into
the Business on a Scale That
Is Gigantic.

Plans for the construction of a great
number of wooden vessels for ocean
and river traffic on the west coast have
been made public Robert Veitch of
Portland, Ore, announced that ship
building on a gigantic scale is to be-
gin as soon as a group of Washington
and Oregon state capitalists complete
the erection of mammoth shipbuiId-
ing plant at Portland Eastern men
were backing the enterprise, which is
being managed by men of Portland,
Spokane, Seattle and other cities Of
that vicinity.
"They have completed the organiza.
ton Of a corporation that is to engage
in the business on gigantic scale, Z"
Mr. Veitch said. Zone attractive fea-
ture about the enterprise is that our
market is assured, and it will be as
sured for many years.
"The advantages of building wooden
instead Of steel vessels in Portland IS
obvious. Each ship will take about g.
100000 feet of lumber. The consump.
ton of Oregon forest products, there
fore, will be extended These vessels
will be equipped with sails, also hay
ing auxiliary power plants

Uncle Sam will have five of the
sWiftest and most powerful ''battle
cruisers" afloat next year, if the
bill recommended by the house naval
committee goes through. Each Of
these vessels will cost the country
over $2O,OO0,0OQ and the squadron
will therefore cost over $100,000,C00,
nice little pile Of change. And
that isn't even half the total appro-
priation for the navy carried in this
BILL which also provides for the con-
struction of four scout cruisers, ten
tOrpedo-boat destroyers, twenty sub.
marines, one hospital ship, one oil
supply ship and one ammunition sup
ply ship, all to be built during the
1917 fiscal year. And the senate
will probably add a couple of bat
tleships to the program.
The preparedness idea" is Ger
tainly in the ascendancy.

"STUMP SPECIAL" TOURS
II UPSTATE COUNTIE

Lets not be 'stumped' by the
stumps," is the idea back of the land
clearing demonstration train which
early in May will begin it's tour OF
twelve counties in upper Wisconsin.
The Land Clearing Limited as it
has been named, will be distinctly
working proposition of the rough and
ready type, consisting of one flat
car, two box cars for equipment,
two "boarding" cars and a "bunk"
car. It will be operated through the
cooperation of the Chicago & North
western and Chicago, Minneapolis,
ST. Paul & Omaha railroads with the
college of agriculture, University Of
Wisconsin, and several of the lead
ing manufacturers of land clearing
machinery and explosives.
Two or three stops will be made
each week of the trip, which will
cover about two months time. Each
demonstration will be made as close
to the tracks as possible, and under
actual working conditions. In the
work of clearing, everything will be
taken as it comes, and every stump
in sight removed.
Machines for pulling and piling
stumps, designed on various patterns
and operated in different ways will
be demonstrated by men thoroughly
familiar with the work. Settlers will
thus have a chance to make COM
parsons between the methods used.
Modern safety first" systems OF
handling explosives in land clearing
will also be shown.
Local committees and county agri-
cultural representative in some of
the counties visited will assist in
making preliminary arrangements for
the demonstrations.
The counties to be visited by the
demonstration train include Oconto,
Forest, Langlade, Oneida, Villas, Bay
field, Douglas, Washburn, Sawyer,
Barron, Chippewa and Taylor.

Disinfected at Border,

To kill typhus germs and the para.
site which carries them, large camp
has been built at Eagle Pass, Tex,
for the disinfecting Of travellers. All
their clothing is removed, thrown into
a sheet and baked for twenty minutes
in an immense oven.
The clothing is taken from their
baggage and treated likewise. The
hair and body of the travellers, man
or woman, is then sponged with gaso-
line by an attendant to kill any stray
vermin, and trunks and bags are treat
ed in the same way
Although no one is supposed to be
exempt from the ordeal, $50 judicious-
ly placed in the hands of a Mexican
official will relieve one from this un-
pleasant experience.
