Selling Oregon Made
Clay Wares Advised

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-There are thirty manufacturers
of brick and other clay wares in Ore
gon at the present time, according to
Dean J. A. Bexell, of the Oregon Ag-
ricultural College School of Commerce,
who advocates an organization of the
manufacturers for the purpose of get
ing their Oregon-made wares more
prominently before the public and into
the markets by means of advertising
and cooperative effort. The combined
output of the industries is about $780,
900 annually, and the expenditures
average about $500 for each $50, 900
of output. A part of this sum will be
expended in promoting demand for
the clay goods, especially drainage
tiles.
In the clay industries as in most 9TH
ers the attention given to production
is disproportionate to that given to
creating and enlarging the demand.
Right quality of prodcut that will
maintain permanent demand together
with due advertising and publicity,
will. thinks Mr.. Bexell, bring success
in this business.

Flax Growing Industry to
Be Aided by State BOaru

Salem-Definite action was taken by
the State board of control in starting
the flax industry in Oregon in compli-
ance with an act passed at the recent
session of the legislature by decision
to offer growers in this county SIS a
ton for straw delivered at the State
penitentiary.
This is from SO to 81 a ton more
than the market price in other states,
and was offered as an inducement to
farmers to grow fax.
Governor Withycombe said he was
confident that three tons could be
grown to the acre and he believed the
price offered would make it one of the
states most profitable crops. The
board will furnish the seed to the
farmers for $3.a bushel, the money to
be paid to the state when the straw is
delivered.
1t was virtually decided to employ
an expert in the manufacture of fax to
install the retting machinery at the
prison and superintend the construc-
tion of the buildings necessary. Gov
ernor Withycombe said he believed
John c. Cady, of Albany, would be
good man for the place. Mr.. Cady
recently came to Oregon from Mime
sofa, where he was engaged in the fax
business. 1t was decided to defer the
until all the members of
the board could confer with him. 1t
was decided virtually to employ Emil

color. For pies and dumplings, sc
points were given for perfect flavor,
20 for way cooked and Is for tender
ness. In jells texture and flavor were
given 35 points each for perfect score
with Is for color, 10 for clearness and
s for surface.
Judging was done by number Of
college experts who were unaware of
the varieties as they judged them, 30
that no prejudice entered into their
verdict.
BY this means satisfactory knowl-
edge of the qualities of all varieties
tested was reached, and this informa-
tion is now offered the people of Ore
gon who are interested in this subject
in bulletin just prepared. The bull
letin should not only prove to be reli-
able guide in the purchase of apples
for home cooking, but it will also have
considerable value for the dealers and
growers. Copies may be had on appli-
cation to the college.
In addition to the score awarded to
each variety in the uses heretofore
mentioned, the bulletin furnishes in
formation on the seasonal value of the
varieties, on the relative value of
some of the varieties for each of the
purposes named, and the correlation of
values for sauce and for jelly pur-
poses. Much other useful information
is also contained in the bulletin, such
as giving recipes for crusts, cooking
amount of sweetening and
suitable utensils.

-Four Prominent Pioneers
of Seattle Die in RiUey

Seattle, Wash.-Four persons, mem.
bers Of prominent Seattle families,
were drowned in the Duwamish river
late Tuesday when an automobile be-
longing to Mrs. Morgan j. Carkeek
ran off the bridge at Allentown, on
the Tacoma road, 10 miles south of
Seattle.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas w. Prosch,
Miss Margaret Lenora Denny and Mrs.
Harriet Foster Beecher, an artist,
were killed. All were members of
prominent pioneer families.
The party, delegation from the
Seattle Historical society, was going
to Tacoma to inspect the exhibit of the
State Historical society there.
The chauffeur jumped clear as the
automobile fell and swan safely to
shore. Mrs. Carkeek also succeeded
in getting clear of the wreckage and
took refuge on top of the car, where
she stood waist deep in the water until
rescued.
Thomas W. Prosch was 65 years old,
son of Charles Prosch, who founded
the Puget Sound Herald at Steilacoom
in 1858. He bought the Seattle In
telligencer in 1879, the paper being
merged two years later with the Sc
attic Post. Mr.. Prosch was editor of
the Post t-Intelligencer for some years
and was the principal authority on
Washington pioneer. He was post
master of Seattle under President
Grant.
Mrs. Virginia McCarver Prosch was
a daughter of General Morton M. Nc
Carver, founder of the city of Tacoma.
She was Ga years old.
Margaret Lenora Denny was the
daughter of Arthur A. Denny, who
founded Seattle in 1861. Miss Denny
was one Of the last survivors of the
schoonerload of people that landed at
Seattle in November of that year. She
inherited great fortune from her
father. She was 70 years old.
Mrs. Harriet Foster Beecher was
the wife of Captain Herbert R.
Beecher, son of the late Henry Ward
Beecher, the famous Brooklyn clergy
man. Mrs. Beecher was we'll known
as portrait painter and musician. She
was 55 years old.

Hansett, who has had experience ir
flaxgrowing in Ireland, to give the
farmers certain instructions. He will
be paid only when actually at work OF
during the fax season and his salary
probably will be $3.50 month.
The bill authorizing the state to en-
courage the growing Of fax, carrying
an appropriation of $50, 900 and speci.
fies that the money may be used only
for giving employment to the convicts.
Governor Withycombe said he was
anxious that farms near the prison be
planted to fax, so the convicts could
work them and be returned to the in
stitution at night. 1t is planned that
they do all the work, even to the har-
vesting of the crop, but the growers
must deliver the straw at the prison.
Because of the fact that it was a
new industry Governor Withycombe
thought expert men should be employed
to assist in planting, cultivating and
retting and and he believed the board
should obtain such help as soon as pos
sible. He said he had been informed
the machinery and buildings necessary
would not be expensive. 1t has nev-
er been the intention of the board to
use all the appropriation in the flax in
dustry and if it does not furnish en-
ployment for all convicts other means
for doing so will be devised. The
board plans growing fax on several of
the state farms.

IlO0 Ships IorpedOed;
$50 Lives Are Lost

London-About $50 lives were lost
in the sinking by German submarines
Of the African liner Falaba and the
British steamer Aguila, bound from
Liverpool for Lisbon.
The Fslaba was torpedoed in st.
Georges Channel Sunday afternoon.
The vessel carried crew of 80 and
about 100 passengers, and of this total
only 140 were rescued. OF those res
cued eight died later from exposure.
The Aguila had a crew of AZ and
three passengers, and of these % OF
the crew and all the passengers were
lost.
In both cases, on sighting the sub
marine, the captain tried to escape by
putting on all speed possible, but the
underwater craft overlook the steam
ers, showing that Germany now has
some of her most modern submarines
engaged in the blockade operations
against England.
The captain of the Falaba, who was
one of those lost, was given five min
utes to get his passengers and crew in
to the boats, but, according to the sur
vivors, before this was possible tor
pedo was fired. striking the engine
room and causing terrible explosion.
Many persons were killed and the
steamer sank in ten minutes.
Trawlers which happened to be in
the vicinity rescued most of those who
were saved; others got away in the
boats, which were ready for launching
and which were quickly lowered when
the order was given to abandon the
ship.
Those who were still On board the
steamer when the explosion occurred
were thrown into the sea and it took
the fishermen an hour or more to pick

The Aguila as attacked off the Penn

which in this case was the U-28,

chief engineer and two of the crew.
Even after the crew had commenced to
lower the boats, according to the story
of the survivors, the Germans kept up
their fire, and some of the boats were
riddled with bullets.
The captain of the trawler Otillie,
whom the commander of the submarine
told of the sinking of the Aguila, went
to the rescue and picked up the three
boats containing 19 of the crew. The
fourth boat, which contained the other
members of the crew, could not be

SnOlD In Cascades IL Lou.

Albany-That there is little DANCE,
of floods in the Willamette valley this
year is indicated by the fact that there
is less snow in the Cascade mountains
now than at this season for many
years. What snow fell last winter has
been going out early and also gradual
ly. Unless there should come an un-
usually cold period before summer, in
which snow should fall in the noun
tains, there is no likelihood whatever
of high water in the Willamette and
its tributaries this spring. A heavy
warm rain this time of the year usual
ly makes a flood probable, but there is
said to be no danger this year.

Seattle Car Men Strike;
Riots and Disorder Ensue

Seattle, Wash.--A strike Of stree
railway employees working on the Sc
attle lines Of the Puget Sound Trac
tion, Light and Power company wal
called by mass meeting Of all labol
unions held by the Central labor coun.
ell Wednesday. The vote to call ou,
the carmen was taken at 8 o'clock
and within few minutes committees
were out appealing to the motormer
and conductors to leave their posts and
join the union. The strike was called
to compel recognition Of the union.
Service on lines operated by the
company was seriously interrupted,
and during the first two hours was
completely disorganized. On several
downtown streets deserted cars block
cd traffic until inspectors and shop en-
ployes appeared to remove them to the
barns.
Except for these delays no line was
completely tied up, although blockades
occurred frequently when crowds which
filled the streets at the principal juno
tion points cut trolley ropes, broke
windows and endeavored to take off
crews who refused to strike. In few
instances trolley wires were broken
and fell sputtering to the street but no
one was injured. and the company
quickly repaired the damage.
Sam Atkinson, international organ
izer of the Amalgamated association
Of Street & Electric Railway EN-
ployes OF America, and w. B. Fitz-
gerald, chairman of the executive
board Of that organization, directed
the movement. They said that 100
carmen had left their posts in response
to the call and that they had 800 men,
bers who have applications on file as
result Of their campaign. They said
this demonstration was only the be-
ginning Of the strike and that within
a few days the tie-up would be COM
plete. They said the only question at
issue was the right to organize.
A. l.. Kempster, general manager
Of the company, disputed the union
officials concerning the result of the
strike call.
During the night the police were
kept busy preventing attacks on the
cars, which soon were without passen-
gers. Many arrests were made on
charges of disorderly conduct. None
were streetcar men. Although several
men were bruised or slightly cut dur
ing fights around the cars, no one was
reported seriously injured.
Supporters of the strike movement
advanced the argument that with jit-
,eys available to handle traffic the
public would not be inconvenienced.
