Canal Lumber
Traffic Shows
Big Increase

Washington, Feb. 7.-An in
crease of 118 per cent in lumber
traffic through the Panama canal
from the Pacific to the Atlantic
coast of North America and Eur
ope in 1921 was cited in the Pana-
ma canal record, today as the most
conspicuous feature of the canals
traffic history for the year. The
stimulation was largely attributed
to increased rail rates on lumber.
OF the total of 44S,0S7 tons to
which this traffic increased from
2O5.172 tons in 1920, the record
showed s987,993 tons came from
the United States and 57,429 from
western Canada, with small ship
ments from Central and South
America and the Far East making
up the balance.
The east coast Of the United
States received of this total 346,-
249 tons. the British Isles 0,O48
tons and the rest OF Europe 1880
tons. The foreign shipments were
said to have declined sharply dur
ing the last six months OF the
year.

Permission To Con-
solidate Lines

Washington, Feb. 7. The
Northwestern Long Distance Tel
ephone company and the Pacific
Telephone and Telegraph company
applied to the interstate COM
cerce commission today for per-

for is years at an annual rental
OF $34,570 If, during the term Of

Dallas, Or, Feb. AT the city
council meeting last night it was
decided to put up to the people
whether or not Dallas shall ac-
quire the waterworks plant at the
end of the least, September "a,

present physical condition of the
plant. Mayor Grant also said that
he had interviewed many of the
heaviest taxpayers in Dallas, and
with one exception they favored
renewing the franchise at this
time.
The council, which contem-
plates laying muny cement side
walks this year, decided to change
the specifications SO that the

NO WARRANT YET ISSUED
FOR ARREST OF SANDS

Los Angeles, CAL, Feb. 7.-Po-
lice announced today that no war;
rant on murder charge has been
issued against Edward F. Sands,
former er-secretary, and de-
clared to be the most important
witness sought in connection with
the mysterious murder Wednesday
night of William Desmond Tay-
lor, noted motion picture director,
known in New York prior to 1908
as William Cunningham Deane-
Tanner, art connoisseur.
Peace officers through the coun-
try are requested to seek Sands,
police say. and his arrest should
be based upon felony warrants,
one charging burglary and the
other grand larceny, both in con-
nection with thefts from the Tay-
lor home.
Police declare that Sands is the
key to the murder mystery and
that his story of his movements
on the night Of the murder is vital
to its explanation, but that there
has been no necessity to issue a
charge against him as he can be
detained on the previous cases
and will have the opportunity to
explain his movements before a
charge is filed.
A scented note dropped from
one of Taylor's books while police
detectives were making an exam
ination Of his effects, according to
the Los Angeles Examiner. 1t was
on the butterfly mohogramed sta
tionery of Mary Miles Minter. 1t

Italy Halls Election of
Plus XI as Assurance
of Church and Ma
tion Harmony

Rome, Feb. 7.-(By Associated
Press. )-The Vatican today began
to resume its usual brillances,
eclipsed by the death of Benedict
XIV, in preparation for the corona
tion of the new Pope Plus XI, on
February IL. The pontifical
household was being set in order.
All Italy, judging from the mes
sages received at the Holy See,
seems full Of joy that Plus XI sits
on the throne of st. Peter. All
predict from his first apostolic
benediction that the breach be-
tween the church and the state
will be healed during the present
pontificate.
The pontiff's position in this
regard, as summed up in a speech
which he delivered when installed
last summer as archbishop Of
Milan, is being widely quoted. He
then said:
1T is above all, abroad that ore
sees and feels how the pope con-
stitutes the greatest dignity and
prestige for Italy. Through him
all the millions of Catholics in the
whole world turn to italy as sec
ond fatherland. Through him,
Rome is truly the capital of the
world"
There are unlikely to be very
changes in the pontifical
since Cardinal Gasparri
retails his post as secretary of
state and many Of Benedict's ap-
pointees are considered certain to
be reinstated. An army Of work
men was busy in the Vatican to-
day re-establishing the offices,
ante-rooms and other chambers.

For More Flax

With no operating capital upon

large part Of the 1921 crop still

not in position to enter into any
contract with flax growers this

sued by Warden Compton. The
warden in his statement expresses
the hope that the flax association
now being organized in this sec

Because Of the absence of op-
Grating capital and our indebted
ness to the state we find ourselves
unable to enter into any contracts
of any kind" the statement issued
by Compton roads.
I'VE do not know just what
conditions at the plant will be
during the coming year. We have
a large share of the 1921 crop yet
to work up. This will take up well
into December, as we now figure.
We must work this up and dispose
Of it at as good figure as possible
in an effort to meet our obligation
to the state.
"If it is found later in the year
that We will be able to accept flax
from growers to work into prod
ucts, we will do so only upon the
basis of accepting the flax to be
worked up into products at so
much per ton, the products to be
handled and marketed by the
grower.
1T is hoped that the flax asso-
citation now being formed is sue
cessful in its dealings and that it
will be able to demonstrate, be-
yond doubt, that flax growing
