STATE may ABANDON
PRODUCTION OF FLAX
Steiner Advises Withdrawal
| OF Convict Labor To Pri-
son industries.

Matters of unusual importance were
up before a prolonged meeting of the
board of control yesterday afternoon,
foremost among them being the ineu-
bus of the state flax industry which
has become more serious problem
each year. When entered upon by the
late Governor Withycombe there was
large and flourishing colony of con
victs in the penitentiary, a large pro
portion Of them of a character that
could be safely trusted out in the open
ing without heavy guard. 1t was as
sumed that this body of prisoners
would be able to handle the flax crop
so far as the harvesting was concern
ed, and hundreds of acres of flax land
were contracted with nearby farmers
with this stipulation in the contracts.
But in the past year or two conditions
have changed. The population of the
penitcntiary within the past year has
been reduced to very low point, ow-
ing in part to the adjustment of the
saloon, and to the parole system by
which the better class of prisoners are
released on honor at the expiration OF
their minimum term. This leaves the
more danger Gus class of eonvicts to
be handled in the fields, necessitating
heavy guard. And further it is found
! that only limited amount of work
can be gotten out of this class.
In his report to the board yesterday
!. Warden Steiner pointed out that had
it not been for the action of Superin-
tendent Griffith in arranging to put
crew of 80 or go patients from the
state hospital in the flax fields along
with the eonvicts, the flax harvest
could not have been harvested in time
to prevent heavy loss. However, the
warden contends that this expedient
should not be resorted to again, as the
state hospital is in need of all its avail
able working force in the harvest per
iod. Further he stated that the farm
work and all other activities about the
prison should be kept up regardless of
out side demands, and he unqualifiedly
opposed the making Of any future con-
tracts with farmers providing for the
use of convicts in harvesting the flax
crop.
While no definite recommendation
was made by the warden, and no Off
cial action was taken by the board,
there is belief current that this con-
dition is the forerunner of abandon

DIsQUE FACES LONG GRUELING
IN HANDS OF INVESTIGATORS

Portland, Or, Sept. 5.-Brice p. Dis
que faced six hours Of constant question
ing yesterday before the congressional
subcommitte which is investigating the
spruce production division.
The former brigadier general, who di-
ieeted spruce activities in Washington
ind Oregon during the war, sweepingly
defcn ded his entire program and as
srmed sole responsibility for all official
actions in the division.
Disq,ia testified the Stems Carey Ker-
baugh concern first proposed to build
It's own railroad on the Olympic penin-
sula. But, he continued, Ethereal truth
is that Stems Carey .Kcrbaugh learned n
good deal about the country after they
came out here and would never have
etcred into such contract"
Questions from congressman Frelr
and Magee of the probing committee
developed the fact Disque never at
tempted to hold sicms-Carey Kcrbaugh
to their original proposal
"Thcy came out here and wouldn t
do it, " he declared.
'"Who said sol" sharply asked Chair
man Frear. Did they say sol''
"No," admitted Disque, "but it
would be unreasonable to assume tnat
any business man
Representative Magee interrupted
with the. remark that any good business
man would have snapped at the Stems
Carey Kerbaugh proposal to build tho
road at their own expense as soon as it
was made.

prescription which you can prepare at

of Aumsville, and as this means the
transporting of "hard boiled" con
viets 12 miles it presents serious prob
lem But the warden holds that this
contract must be completed.
As to the number of convicts now in
prison, the warden shows that during
the month of August the population
dropped to PA, which is the lowest
recorded in forty years. 1t is noted that
the crimes traceable to liquor have fall
len off greatly, and number of in
mates is further reduced by the act Of
the last legislature which cut off ten
days of each month from sentence
as reward for good behavior.

ment of the flax industry by the state,
and the prediction is made that the
next session of the legislature action
will be taken for its elimination. This
will be regrettable, for as the warden
points out in his report, Oregon can
produce the finest flax in the world
and the industry would add greatly to-
the state resources if the labor and
marketing problems could be met He
goes on to show that the crop this sea-
son will be upwards of 400 tons, which
is very fair considering the dry hot
season, While not heavily stooled, the
flax is of excellent fibre. The report
states that the crops of the Sprison
farm have made a good showing; that
the buildings are being put in good
condition.
The same conditions that confronted
the officials in the flax field are be-
fore them in the matter Of the big con
tract for cord wood made three years
ago. This contract calls for the cutting

YOUR HAIR
Invention of an Expert
Chemist

You probably have tried all sorts
of remedies on your scalp without
getting the desired results, until you
have become discouraged and lost
confidence in all hair remedies. Thou
sands of others, like yourself, finally
turned to using Seeby's Quinade, and
have been so pleased with the re-
suit, they would never again waste
their time or money using anything
else.
Quinade Is not an ordinary pom
AIDE: II is highly medicated and Is
a real scalp food. Quinade stimu-
lates and nourishes the roots Of the
hair. causing a natural growth OF
long, straight hair. It Will make
coarse, stubborn hair soft and SILKY
and easy to put up in the style de-
sired. Quinade will positively allay
itching of the scalp; and dandrun'
| which is the real cause of most hair
and scalp troubles.
To get best results from the use
| of Quinade, one should shampoo the
scalp every two weeks with Seeby's
| Ouinasoap. a soap made entirely OF
| pnre vegetable oils. Quinasoap lath-
ers very freely and is a thorough
cleanser. 1t leaves the hair soft and
| fluffy and imparts refreshing feel
ing to the scalp unequaled by any
other shampoo.
Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade
and Quinasoap, asking for them by
their full name. Price is rs cents
each. II your druggist or dealer does
not stock these two articles ask
him to obtain them from his whole
