TO BUILD 1000 SHIPS

General GoethalS has evidently had his thinking cap
on during the past few days. and has changed his mind
regarding the building of steel instead of wooden ships
for doing the carrying of the counys products to Eur
ope few days ago given out that but about 100
wooden ships would be built the board having concluded
to use steel ships instead Yesterday shpyards on the
coast were notified to clear their ways of vessels build
ing as rapidly possible and when cleared to hold
them for government work 1t ntimated at the same
time the government would take all ships built, or

wanted will be sent the yards at and they will all be
of the same pattern They will carry about 5000 tons
and by the time the first ready for business the wheat
crop of the northwest should be ready to move they
can be loaded direct for Europe before they leave their
home ports This will be great boost for Oregon it
will give employment to several thousand men in the ship
yards and other thousands in the mills and timber AS
only about one-ffth of the average log is fit for Ship
timber it will keep all the mills busy furnishing these.
This brings up another problem and that is what to be
done with the other fourfths of the lumber? Of course
large part of be used in the usual trade channels
but it is feared the of transportation will not per-
nit the sending of to market fast cut and that in
consequence the mill yards will become congested. An,
other problem in this connection is that if the other um

the ship timbers and pile the other up to wait for

it may cause the government to pay for its lumber

A FOOLISH DECISION

Congress has seen fit in its WISDOM or lack of it. to cut
from the army bill the clause allowing Roosevelt to raise
division of troops for service in France at
Evidently politics entered into the decision but if so all
that can be sads that time politics Of any kind
from either party This is national matter not party
one and be treated as SUCH To the unbiased mind
there appears good why COL Roosevelt should
not be permitted raise the troops he DESIRES that the
privilege, Aside from political prejudice and dislike
there doubt that Colonel Roosevelt could raise an
army of perhaps hundred thousand more speedily than
any other American His following would be seasoned
and trained who within short time could be put in
fine shape for their work 1t looks like the height of fool
shness to force who want to go Europe to take
hand in the fighting to stay at home and at the time
take by conscrpton who do not want to 60 1t is
barely possible the senate may yet try to get this provision
back in the bill but it is not probable it will succeed After
the army bill is complete there is always chance for the
bill to up by ITSELF and circumstances may yet bring
this about.

Herbert C. Hoover who came from Europe to consult
with government heads concerning the food situation is
sues warning that under the present system the price of
flour is likely to go above $1,000 barrel He advises
food regulation and says that with this in operation the
present flour prices be cut in two and still leave
good profit for ALL He says there will be enough for all
and to spare but must protect people and give
to our allies the last ounce of surplus Of which are
capable The nation needs food control for two purposes
to regulate prices and increase The surplus. With Can
ada we can furnish the allies with 60 per cent Of the sup
plies they require of u.s. and with proper regulation we
can add 20 per to this When congress gets through
with it's nexcusabe delays the administration will be in
