WASHIGXTON, D. C., Aug. 33 —
Tilt announcement is made today
by the shipping board that no more
■wooden ships will be constructed.
The contracts now being issued all
call for the construction ot steel
ships and these will be built ex
clusively lor the rest of the war
period.
This announcement is sustaining
the decision of General Gothals as
against Demman, the latter, the
former chairman of tiie Board who
insisted upon the construction of
ships of wood as quicker and easier
and less expensive of construction.
On the other hand, it may well
be, that the Board observing the
decreasing number of victims of U
boats believes that the steel pro
gram will be speedy enough to meet
all the requirements of the war
service.

HIGHER PRICES.
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 31—The
opening prices for t lie season's
salmon catch and pack are much
higher than last year. Bellies are |
away up, canned salmon is con-;
siderably higher and smoked sat
mon is out of sight. The main
reason for the higher prices is due
to tiie shortage of the Alaska pack
and the enormous demand due to
the war. Europe is putting up a
strenuous effort to get . big share
of the pack.
The general Alaska park is said!
to be ’en per cent less than in
191*1.
