A. Moffet, chief of the bureau of Aeronautics in the navy department. This giant of the air which the admiral told the committee the navy department has been figuring on, he estimated could make 40 trips annually between New York and London and earn approximately a profit of $4,856,000. The proposed ship, which Admiral Moffat stated he believed could be constructed in this country, would have a gas volume of 6,000,000 cubic feet as compared to 2,600,000 for the Los Angeles and 2,150,000 for the Shenandoah. Its length would be 785 feet as compared with the 680 feet length of the Shenandoah and the 658 feet length of the Los Angeles. The speed of the ship, he estimated, would reach a maximum of 70 knots with an average of 50 knots. This would be a greater maximum speed than either of the present naval ships. Its gross carrying capacity, he placed at 154 tons gross at 90 per cent full, which is nearly three times that of the Shenandoah and two and a half times that of the Los Angeles. Admiral Moffat declared a reasonable profit might be made using the ship the size of the Los Angeles for trans-Atlantic commerce but that the profits would be greatly increased by the use of larger ship.

Paul, assistant manager of the Fruit Growers' Co-operative Supply Co. Co-operative ass'n's, he declared, grow out of a necessity. The earthquake and subsequent fire in San Francisco had created the necessity out of which the Fruit Growers' Co-operative Ass'n had arisen, because the price of box shoaks had risen at that time from 13 to 22 cents, forcing the growers to do something to keep down the rising prices. The association bought the growing timber, erected a mill and was selling in the open market and making their boxes out of the lower grade stuff. Timber, he said, when matured should be cut, as it begins then to deteriorate. In the average tree there was abutot 50 per cent high grade timber. Some 20,000,000 feet of timber per year is being used for the boxes of the supply company. The association has both met the approval of the exchange, in the matter of low costs of boxes, and pleased the stockholders by practically guaranteeing a return of 6 per cent on money invested. The association is of such a character that no independent lumberman can obtain control. Registered?
