SEINE FISHING is ENDED
IN ElSEA BAY

After one of the hardest strug-
giles OF session, lasting an hour,
n, b. 464, by the House fisher
les committee, was passed by II
votes, the adverse report of the
Senate committee being reiec-
ted, says the Salem correspon-
dent to the Telegram. Tho bill
prohibits seine fishing in Alsea
pay and river. Senators Gar
iaiiu, La Follett, Langguth and
others fought hard for the bill
While Farrell, Wood and Butler
worked for its defeat.
The fight on the bill was
brought about through the eff
iorts OF e. B. Tongue, a Hills
boro attorney, who was retained
by the Elmore Cannery COM
pany. 1t Is said, to come to the
State Capitol and lobby against
its passage. Manager Stone, of
the canning company, was also
on the ground.
Paul V. Finch, a lone Alsea
Day fisherman, worked for the
passage of the blu and managed
TO get 1t through both House
and Senate. He asserts that at
present the Elmore cannery has
an unfair advantage over the
fishermen, handling seines in
the narrow entrance to the bay
with powerboats. Most of the
fishermen, he contends, are poor
men. and a hardship is being
worked on them by the opera
tions of the company, which
constantly interferes with their
nets.

Four hundred and fourteen cars
were shipped from the Overland fac
tory on May 10. This is 20 per cent
greater than the largest number OF
cars ever shipped from the big To-
ledo plant on any single day previous
to that time.
Although it is a remarkable record
this great shipment is merely step in
the tremendous manufacturing and
selling campaign which the Oveland
Company finds necessary in order to
meet the demand for cars. A few
weeks ago John \. Willys. president of
the company. announced that upon
the completion of buildings now in
the course of construction, the daily
output of the factory would be 500
cars per day
Overland officials declare their in
tention of occupying portions of the
new buildings by June l. One OF
these structures is probably the lag
est single factory building in the
world. being 1000 feet long, 200 feet
wide and four stories high.
In the meantime the enormous To-
ledo factory is steadily increasing its
facilities for building and shipping 500
cars a day. day 5000 men are
regularly employed in the Overland
shops, many departments of which are
working both day and night.
More than 1000 cars left the factory
during the week ending May 10. To
carry these shipments 617 freight cars
were required-or a single train more
than five miles in length.
In spite of the increasing number
of cars leaving the factory daily. II is
declared that the order for Overlands
are continually in excess of ship
ments.
Upon his return from California a
few days ago Mr.. Willys stated that
the tremendous output for the COM
ing season was based entirely on act
ual business conditions as they are to-
day and on the demand for Overland
cars as voiced by his dealers.
THE most careful survey of the
motor car market has convinced me
that the coming year will be the big
gest in history for the medium
priced cars" states Mr.. Willys.
During the past six months. when
conditions were declared exceedingly
poor by many businessmen, the sale
of automobiles broke all previous rec
ords. And now that this country has
so far recovered from the financial
shocks incident upon the war, the de-
mand will be much greater.
"Our 1000 Overland dealers are
constantly clamoring for more cars.
During the past few months we have
been continually working our factory
at capacity. We have broken record
after record in shipments, yet we have
not been able to keep pace with the
influx of orders.
I'VE are not over sanguine in decld-
ing upon a production of 500 cars a
day In fact, | do not doubt that the
demand for our cars will be fare
greater than we can possibly supply
