Big Offer for Flax
BY Millionaire

Eugene Register: An offer Of
$3.50 a ton for a certain grade OF
flax grown in Lane county has been
received from DR.. Henry Deimel, mil
lionaire linen manufacturer.
The grade of flax to receive this
sum must be good enough to be spun
into numbers so and 80 warp, and
he said in his letter that he would
amplify his offer by agreeing to re-
NIT in addition whatever amount his
spinner may consider the flax to be
worth above $3.50 a ton.
Eugene Bosse, in charge of the
flax experiment here, informed
Frank G. Miles, representative of the
office of fibre investigation of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, that the Lane county acreage
average will be twelve tons. Mr..
Miles said the average of straw is
about ten tons to the acre.
whether it proves a financial
success the first year or not" Mr..
Miles says, "it appears to give pretty
good proof that flax growing can be
conducted successfully as a CONNER
cial enterprise in Oregon The farm
ers who co-operated with the Eugene
Chamber of Commerce and the Port
land Chamber of Commerce worked
against the handicaps of unfamiliar
ity with the crop and the late start
they had.
Mr.. Miles left this week for Mon
tana, where he is to inspect some of
the flax paintings that have been
made. He was in Oregon last March
to help launch the Eugene project,
and his present trip enabled him to
see how successful the enterprise
had been.

First Big Sale
Hood River Apples

Hood River News, Aug. 3O.: G,
M. H. Wagner & Sons of Chicago,
who are one of the most prominent
operators in the western box apple
deal, made the first sale of impor-
tance of the season last week. The
sale was made through the firm s
western representative, ]. H. Dengel,
and consisted of 7S cars The sale
was confirmed and the fruit is to be
accepted, inspected and paid for at
Wenatchee.
News of the transaction was re-
ceived with a great deal of interest
by parties in the box apple deal, both
growers and operators, because of
its probable influence on later prices.
Some were inclined to think that the
prices, which ranged from $1.10 to
$3.50 per box, we're too high and
would have the effect of starting
prices off on a basis which would
curtail consumption early in the
season. Prices on the different va
rieties sold are as follows: Arkan-
sas Black and Winesaps, $1.95;
Spitzenberg and Delicious, $3.50;
Jonathan, $1.15; Black Ben Davis,
$1.1O.

paid profit instead of being a loss
as had been predicted by many.
Several representatives of bonding
houses have also been in the city
during the past few days and there
is little doubt, according to their
statements, but that the city bonds
will sell for at least par and accrued

R. NORRIS WILLIAMS +
 PREMIER TENNIS PLAYER
Wm. M. Johnston Placed Second in Ranking List of Singles, in Which
 Mclaughlin Does Not Appear.

New York, Dec. 9.-R. Norris Will Hams II of Philadelphia, national single champion, is the ranking lawn tennis player of the country, accord ing to the official list made public to- day by the ranking committee of the United States National Lawn Tennis association. Wm. M. Johnston of San Francisco, 1915, title holder, is placed second, with George M. Church, third, R. Lindley Murray fourth, and Ichiya Kumagae, the Japanese player, fifth.
 Maurice E. Mclaughlin is not rank ed among the first 100 players thru lack of date. Mclaughlin, coupled with Ward Dawson, is placed second in the doubles pairing ranking, how ever, being preceded by Wm. M. Johnston and Clarence J. Griffin, while Church and Willis Davis get third place.
 Miss Molla Bjurstedt leads the wo- men players.
 The inclusion of Kumagae's name in the ranking list is a novelty, as no foreign player has been so honored since 1897, when Dr. w. V. Eaves, II. F. Nesbit and II. s. Mahkoney of England were ranked third, fourth and fifth, respectively.

So he entered the studio of a successful artist and presented his plea. The art. ist handed him a quarter, and then, observing possibilities in the old chap for g sketch, said: 'I will give you a dollar if you will let me paint you" The other reflected. "Sure," said he, tits an easy way to make a dollar. but how'll l get 1t off?"

Travellers Ink.

White plotting paper .is saturated with aniline black and several sheets are pasted together so as to form a thick paste. When required for use a small piece is torn off and covered with little water. This makes a good writing Ink. A square inch of paper will produce enough ink to do considerable writing and a few pads would be all that an exploring party need carry with them. As water is always available the ink is readily made.

SPORTING NOTES.

Johnny Coulon, eX-champiOn ban- tam, has mapped out a strenuous campaign to make good his come- 1 back. Johnny figures he is able io more than held his own against Johnny Ertle, Pete Herman and Kid Williams and then take on Jimmie Wilde in London for the worlds title.
 The fine gridiron work of Howard l Berry during the season just closed has set at rest the rumors that the Penn star lacked gameness.
 Friends of Manager Clymer, of the Louisville American association champions, declare the major leagues are overlooking great pilot when they fail to sign up the Louisville boss.
 The idea of matching a middle. weight or light heavyweight to fight Jess Willard for the championship has died aborning. Fred Fulton is the only boxer who approaches Jess i'll size and weight and in the opinion of the wise ones he is the only logical candidate for the clash with the champion.
 Pitcher Tom Hughes of the Braves enlivened the 1916 season with two brilliant stunts. He made worlds 'reaord when he pitched 15 2-3 in- ninss without permitting hit. aui in addition he pitched the only no-hit no-run of the season in the National 1 league.
 Evidently the theatrical promoters are finding the field of athletes . profitable one for their managerial activities. Among the well known show kings who have entered the sport arena are Johnny White, the New York vaudeville and boxing man. ager: Harry Frazee, tte new owner of the Boston Red SoX, and Harry {! Sherman, who controls the boxing game in St. Paul and Minneapolis.
