ing in Oregon.
The climate In the valley around
Grants Pass is very similar to that in
New Zealand said Mr.. Becswith
and because OF the value OF the flax
for making sacks, 1t struck me as a
good thing to experiment with. The
Oregon-Utah Sugar company has a
plant In operation at Grants Pass
and II needs sacks. Some seed was
sent for and this will be planted.
Part OF 1t VIII go into irrigated soil

given no attention, but believe
where II is tdtlvated It will be found
to thrive and give larger returns than
other wise would be the case. II is
said the flax will grow best on land
that will raise corn, We expect the
seed any day and It will be planted
as soon as II arrives. The results will

A new industry may spring up In
the Grants Pass district through the
fundamentally OF the sugar company
The growing Of New Zealand flax Is
to be experimental with In Oregon,
and Grants Pass has been selected
as the seat OF the experiment. The
following. which was contained In
the Evening Telegram OF Tuesday,
written by l.. b. Basketel. tells the
story OF more development and OF
another recognition OF the superior
ity OF the Rogue river valley:
Unless all plans fail, Oregon is to
have new Industry, which. in the
course Of time should be one OF i'm
portance. II is nothing more nor less
than the growing Of what is known
as New Zealand flax. This Is entirely
different from the linseed flax grown
In Marion county and which Is backed
by the state. That flax Is used for
making thread while the New Zea-
land flax Is used In the manufacture
OF twine and rope.
Already an order for a sufficient
quantity OF seed has been sent to
New Zealand by John Hall, Of this
city, for the planting OF at least two
acres. The Oregon Utah Sugar COM
pany Of Grants Pass. Ia interested In
the scheme, and the seed will be
planted on acreage at Grants Pass.
"The particular beauty Of this New
Zealand flax Ia that its fiber Is tough.
II Is hard to break even one OF the
small strands and II grows to con-
siderable length. Swamp land Is said
to be especially adapted to growing II
and in five years the plant attains a
height Of 10 toi2 feet. It is then cut
and new crop springs up from the
OLD roots, requiring three years to
"In New Zealand II grows both wild
and on cultivated land, There It Is
not only used for making twine and
rope. but is being experimental with
at the present time for making sacks,
to replace jute. II is believed II will
be found a complete success In this
respect. II is worth s250 a ton In
England and Yields approximately 30
tons to the acre. Thus II Is shown
to bring the grower $4,000 an acre,
anything but measly return. Last
year England imported 2s.Os2 tons
Of this flax and the United States
2.715 tons.

SEND GERMAN DIVERS
TO PANAMA CANAL

Berne, via Paris. Feb. 14.--Ger-
many Is prepared to send submarines
into American waters, especially to
the region Of the Panama canal.
The possibility Of America enter
ing the war has been carefully con-
sidered by German officials-but
nevertheless they expect to have the
entente at their mercy within six
months. regardless of American de-
velopments.
Meanwhile. the Germans are pre-
pared to launch gigantic offensives
on land. In the air. and with torpedo
boat fleets In addition to the sub
marine campaign.
They are confident the submar-
ines win paralyze the war industries
Of the allies.
Germany is stronger today in
military sense than at any time
since the war began.
Because Of the isolation OF AM
erica, Germany does not believe that
American participation In the war
would have any real effect.

THE central POWERS
GET more PROTESTS

Copenhagen. Feb. 1.-THE Dam
ish. Norwegian and Swedish govern
ments have forwarded the central
powers identic notes protesting
against ''the barrage of certain sea
zones" according to oficial informa-
ton today.
The note recalls on previous occa-
sions there have been formal UNDER
standings by the signatory govern
ments stating violations Of the rights
OF neutrals.
The Scandinavian note. In conclu-
sion. declares the central powers
measure "all the more contrary to In
ternational law. IL. as indicated, they
are to be applied indiscriminately,
even against ships voyaging between
neutral ports"
The Scandinavian note emphasizes
that on the present occasion the sig
natory governments are all the more
compelled to adhere to their previous
position, '.inasmuch as the obstacles
to neutral navigation are now on q
considerably larger scale OF gravity.
This governments anxiety" the
note continued. has been increased
because the danger zones are to b
exclusively by submarines,
whose activities endanger neutral
subjects as already demonstrated.
Denial is registered OF the right Of
belligerents to obstruct peaceful nav
lgation in zones situated at such Z
distance from the enemy coasts. These
coasts. It is held, are subject only
70 a legitimate blockade.
Relying on the considerations set
forth above" the note closes.

test against arrangements adopted By
Tire central powers and the loss of life
and material damage which will en-
sue."
