OFFICERS FOR AMERICAN SHIPS

About 100000 tons, dead weight
OF shipping is planned for construc.
tion by the American government in
Oregon and Washington this year. II
was possible to have attained this
splendid total in steel and wood ships
had the Government placed contracts
expeditiously, and given all possible
encouragement to the builders of the
two North Pacific states. These plans
were for about 1000, 900 tons in each
state, Oregon taking about 500, 900
tons in wood and 100000 in steel.
and Washington 600. 900 tons in steel
and 100000 in wood.
10 officer the steel ships planned
for the two states this year would re-
quire more than 500 deck officers and
like number of engine room officers.
For the wood ships more than 1000
deck officers will be required, and
approximately a like number of en-
gine room officers, or grand total of
deck and engine room in both states
this year of we'll above 5000 officers.
Steel ships will be commissioned at
the rate of II to Is per month in the
near future, while the pace at which
wood ships will go into the service
will be greater as soon as the vessels
now commencing to be launched are
well started on the finishing stages.
Recognizing the imminent need for
officers, the Government has estab-
lished nautical schools, with free tut
tion in leading Northwestern cities,
one being stationed at Portland. A
six-weeks course is given in these
school to men having a minimum of
IL months actual sea experience, and

HEPPNER INCLUDED
IN NEW PORT DISTRICT
harold A. Rands, Engineer, Is Max.
ing Survey For Port of Portland
and River Transportation Will
Be Encouraged.

Heppner is included in one of the
many new port districts coming un-
der the jurisdiction of the Port of
Portland. Although it has not been
fully decided, should a port district
be organized here, the district wou,d
embrace all territory in Morrow
county.
Harold A. Rands, traffic survey en-
glneer for the Port of Portland Com
mission was in Heppner the last of
the week. He says districts will prob
ably be formed wherever practical
and where the people of the district
are inclined to cooperate with the
Port of Portland.
Under the plan which the Port of
Portland operates, river shipping
VIII be stimulated and freight rates
VIII be materially decreased. Mr..
Rand said that Heppner and that
part of Morrow county tributary to
Willow creek is ideally situated for
the use of dock to be located some
where on tn Columbia river near the
mouth of Willow creek. The COM
pletion of the Columbia highway
down Willow creek will give the far
mers and other shippers of freight,
natural grade to the river. Mr.. Rand
incidentally pointed out what the use
OF auto trucks operating on this high
way would mean to the shipper.
Docks will be established along the
river for every district and Mr..
Rand's work includes surveys on the
side of the river as we'll
Is the Oregon side. His work, how
aver, is only preliminary to the work.
