A Fine Production Going Some
The Grant Smith-Porter Ship company issues a booklet honoring master builder Charles M. Schwab and featuring praise for Charles A. Pier of the Emergency Fleet corporation. Since late July 1917 the yard has launched 14 ships and earned multiple district and national awards for progress in wooden shipbuilding. The Portland plant built the steamer Japonka in 49 working days, and Wasco was prepared for service ahead of other wooden vessels. Red Grass drive contributions from St Johns total 16,500 war savings, 200,000 pledged in five days, and 425,200 subscribed in the third Liberty Loan campaign.

Portland Steel Plant Planned Without Government Aid
A great steel plant in Portland, proposed by A C Overmire formerly of United States Steel Products Company, may proceed soon without federal backing. Local capitalists floated 1 000 000 in securities to fund furnaces and rolling mills, hoping for 3 000 000 from the federal government. Overmire’s Washington trip was not discouraging, but decision on cooperation rests with Schwab and Hiez of Emergency Fleet Corporation, who reportedly discouraged government financing.
