Spear, president of ' the West Coast '■ shipbuilding company of Everett, has made public .the fact that he has obtained, after long delay, authority from tho shipping board to build ln( his plant at Everett, approximately $20,000,000.00 worth of concrete ships for private order. He goes to New York to complete' negotiations with the persons who are to buy these ships. He declines to make public their identity. About 15,000 tons of steel to reinforce the frames are involved in the order. The authority he' has obtained here permits the • steel plants to provide his plant with steel. His authority includes the construction of 10 cargo-carrying steamers of 7500 tons each, 22 1000-ton barges and 15\" ocean-going' tugs, each -20,0.; feet long and each with a deadweight of wooden vessels of trie tsallin and Dougherty types for French interests. It is expected that the three yards of the Foundation Co., one of which is located in North Portland, will be given the contracts. . f Contracts for nine wooden ships of the Ballin type to be 4500 tons each, have been awarded by the Shipping; Board to the Kern & Kiernan Shipbuilding Company, of Portland, and to the Columbia Engineering Works, the larger end of the contract going to the former concern.

This pressing need comes at a time when there Is a labor shortage and when a 'million men arc being withdrawn from industrial and agricultural pursuits to form an army. Jf the United States is going to perform the part in the war it has undertaken, it is absolutely essential that there shall be a' big increase in agricultural products, ships, military goods, and particularly that every possible means of expediting the transportation of the unprecedented volume of shipments shall be used. This necessary increase in activity .means that more efficient methods must be adopted and that time-and- labor-saving machinery must be utilized. The commercial motor vehicle is pre-eminently a machine of this Kind, and ' it has the further gTeat .economic advantage that its widespread use will conserve human foodstuffs. - . \" ' A motor truck operated normally ren hours a day performs-the..work of at least three horse-drawnyvehicles, displacing fom three to six horses. Five acres of land are required to maintain one horse for one \"year, while three acres will\" support' one mail. Each motor .'truck put into - i'\" service releases twenty acres of till- land on a conservative estimate. This will support seven persons if devoted to the production of human foodstuffs instead of feed for horses. Careful estimates show that there are already in use in the United States three hundred thousand commercial vehicles which release a total of six million acres of land capable of supporting two million people. This is a mere drop in the bucket compared with what might be done. The Department of Agriculture estimated that on January I, 1915, there were 24,377,789 horses in this country. These required for their .support 120,000,000 acres of land capable of supporting forty million' persons. If the „work horses in the country were displaced by tractors and motor trucks, the wheat or corn crop of the country-could be doubled. During the unprecedented congestion I that .has ' existed for the past two years and now threatens to increases,* motor trucks have rendered a ■ very useful service in moving freight for distances of one hundred niiles and more. Such service, however, ■ can be greatly increased. A motor- truck will save, the ow.ner many annoyances and delays in moving' his freight and will expedite his Duslnes- generally. The motor vehicle lends' itself admirably to every need of haulage by road, and possesses the further ad- vantage that-the motor can be used for operating a\" hoisting-winch, and for varied other purposes. Development of \"dump bodies, removable bodies,' and trailers has greatly enhanced the utility of the motor truck, per- (Continued on Pa^e 4.) iff-..*?- *&v09£Kfffr« OG MOTOR COMPANY LIMITED 1C62 Georgia St. W.
