. LABOB. SCHOONER. The largest schooner ever built on the lachic Coast was loading at Portland teft month for Australia, She is named the Ores™nt was built at Eureka. California, th« -ear .-nd has made one trip, to the Orient with 1.700.000 ft ci lumber. This is a larger car"o than can be carried in a square-ngseo -vessel of one-third greater registered tonnage than the Crescent, hut the crew required to work tho achoonftr is only half as large as , that:, required for the square-rigger. The cost of the schooner is also much less than that of tho nlup. In other words, such a craft as the Crescent carries more cargo, costs lesß to build and less to operate in proportion to her size than any other type of vessel afloat. The fact that she is American-built is oeiner urged bv opponents of the American Subsidy Bill as proof that "pap" is not needed- The Portland Oretronian Bays:—"ls ioreign-hnilt ship on the Pacific to-day, either subsidised nr nnsubsidiEed. can successfully compete with this American-built craft, either in. original cost or cost of operation. This indicates »hat there may be an opportunity to build •an a merchant marine without the necessity of chouiiiff it into helplessness on Government
