PORTLAND DISTRICT IS
 LARGEST SHIPBUILDER

PORTLAND. Ore, Jan. .. A check on the statements and figures of production of the various wood and steel yards on the Pacific coast reveals the fact that the Portland district not only has been the largest producer ot ships on the Pacific coast during the emergency resulting from the war, but has oclipsed every other shipbuilding center in the United States in the production of ships" says q state ment prepared by the local Chamber of Commerce.
 In 1916 with six yards for wooden ships beginning operations, but four wood ships were launched; in 1917. &l wooden ships had slipped from the ways. and the record for 1918 up to and including December 10 was 113 wooden ships. making the total for less than three years construction 1iN wooden vessels
 In steel construction the record of production in Portland is remarkable from the fact that while Portland is tn" largest lumber manufacturing city in the world. she has developed a large new industry in the construc- tion of ships Of steel. In 1916 three steel yards were being constructed but no launching occurred. In the following year eight steel vessels were launched and the number of yards in creased to five. In 1918 g steel ships were launched. and several more will soon be ready to put into the William cite. making u total of 45 steel ships for less than two years operations. "
 There are at present 32,500 men en- gagged in shipbuilding and allied in dustrics in Portland and the Portland district, and the monthly payroll is $4.i7I2O0. The contracts for 1918 called for $23O.0oo GOO, the Chamber of Commerce reported.

IDAHO PLANS MEMORIAL
 FOR ITS SOLDIER BOYS

BOISE, Idaho Jan. ,. The matter of memorial for Idaho soldiers is being held in abcyance until the legis- laturc meets next Monday. A sym posium of letters on the subject. gath cred by newspaper from all mem bers of the next state senate and house of representatives, shows Il unanimous desire on the part of the propriatiOn of state funds for some kind of q memorial. There is. how ever no unanimity of opinion among the legislators as to the form oi me morial which shall he built.
 \ suggestion that finds the most favor is for large appropriation of state funds to be divided into il equal parts. SO that each of the Il counties may Use the money as it sees fit. and doublc the fund with d county ap- pTopriation or subscription. Another scheme that is securing many adhrr- cnts is to construct d new wing to the state house at Boise which shall contain a'mcmorial hall and an exhibit of war relics and authentic records of Idaho's war ciIorts in all lines. A third scheme which is popular is the construction of great northern and southern boulevard to link the pan handle of the state with the southern portion. In connection with this it is proposed that a tree shall be planted along this boulevard for every one of the thousands of Idaho men who enlisted in government service. and that memorial arches shall span this highway in every town through which it passes.

The following facts regarding the war j
have compiled from literature furnished by
the Government Loan organization, based
upon information issued by the United
States Treasury:
The total cost Of ammunition and guns
to equip our Army amounted 10 $l2 for
every hour since the birth of Christ.
Over 2,500,000 shoulder rifles were pro-
duced in the 10 months of our participation
IN the war. more than either France or
England produced during that period.
Before the arTnstice was signed, our
speed in producing ammunition was twice
that of France and 10 per cent greater than
that Of England. At the end of the war
our production OF machine guns was twice
that of France and nearly three times as
great as Englands.
Six million two hundred and fifty thou
sand rounds of 75-millimetre ammunition
were fired by American artillerymen.
IL takes 10 months to manufacture one
