Despite his policy of Standard
cation in ship construction, Mr..
Nchwab authorized special plans for
the Columbia River" type. Little
change will be required in yards be-
tore construction OF the big cargo
carriers can be begun, and the build
erS are confident that soon they will
have riding the waves, swift, staunch
ships which can defy any gale.
Meanwhile, in the shipyards OF the
state, the laundering roar of ham
mers and riveters never ceases, shad-
owy giants move to and fro at night
in the glare of great arc lights, and
the race against time continues.
While great gangs of workmen are
launching hulls OF S,000-ton farbric-
ated steel ships at the Northwest
Steel and Columbia slsipbuilding
plants on the banks OF the William

other gangs are faShioning monarchs

yards dotting the Willamette and
Columbia rivers for more than 100
miles. The war may be more than
5000 miles away, but il Oregon ship
builders have their way, it will soon

looked very light and filmy for this
desperate work and its gray body
gave it the appearance OF giant
moth settled on the water.
Overhead, 1000 feet up, swung a
huge, lung-shaped balloon from the
basket of which naval officer and
a sailor peered through marine
glasses.
They are on the lookout for sub
martens" said the escort. Their
chief purpose is to report the where
aboutS of Il submarine. and the de-
stroyerS then do the rest in forcing
it under water. Even ii submarines
are off this port, they are practically
helpless, il we can keep them under
water. 1t is only when they come to
the surface that they can launch
their torpedoes with iull effect. Tor
pedoes fired when the craft is under
water may lack direction to make
them dangerous. SO that, after all,
the problem for the destroyers is
to keep the submarines under water
as well as to destroy them"
On shore scores OF hydroairplancs
were ranged in to vast hangers and
there were sheds for the balloons.
A big whaleback from the Great
Lakes was off to port and 20 star
board was a massive freighter.
That is strange ship said the
escort. You will note she has no up
per deck or cabins. The whole deck
rolls back, like the roof OF an open
air theater, and the deck becomes an
enormous open hatch. 1t is like a
huge open bowl with no obstruction

The freight in this case was as
curious as the rolling deck, for if
consisted OF 33 enormous Mogul
locomotives, all set up and ready to
move and with their tenders
With the deck rolled back,
locomotives and tenders were picked
up by giant clanes and swung
around to the nearby quay. Very
soon these same locomotives just
out OF the bowels OF ship, had
steam up and were putting of to-
ward the front.
