COMMITTEE FINISHES. AVENUE APPRAISALS.
Report To City Commission Will Fol-
 low Meeting Thursday

Appraisal of the property along First avenue. north, which will be af- fected by widening this avenue to 50 feet from curb to curb, was com pleted Wednesday by the appraisal committee of the real estate board.
 F. l.. Kendrick. chairman, said his committee would hold a meeting in his tffice in the Jefferson County Bank building Thursday morning at 10 o'clock to check their figures and turn the report over to the city com mission, as they were requested. When this is done it will be up to the city commission to take action to &C., quire the property.
 Ten feet will be taken from every lot on either side, acco rding to Chairman Kendrick, who said about 30 houses will have to be moved back several feet. With one exception, these houses are all small buildings and the cost of moving should be little, he sai. The one large house is an old two story frame in ANondale used as a negro dance hall.
 A number of real estate men and other citizens were asked as to their opinion on the widening of First avenue, and the verdict was unani- nous for widening. A number of peo- pie are favorable to making the ave- nue 100 feet wide, since 1t is the principal thoroughfare for the city leading to Avondale, WCodlawn, East Lake and beyond.

NEW STEEL RECORDS MADE DURING MARCH
Plans Are Approaching Closely To
 Full Capacity Production

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-New rec ords in sales of fabricated structural steel and of bookings of orders for commercial steel castings were es- tablished in March.
 The department of commerce an nounced today that March sales of fabricated structural steel amounted to 95 per cent of shop capacity as against so per cent in February and SS per cent in April. 1922, the pre- vious high record at the present shop capacity. Total sales of 153 firms. with shop capacity of 2oO,79o tons per month. amounted to 2tO,716 tons the first time that reported tonnage has exceeded 100000 tons in any month. Estimated total bookings were placed at .237.5Oo tons.
 Orders for commercial steel cast ings in March were 30 per cent greater than the previous high rec ord of March, 1920, with both railway specialties and miscellaneous orders making new high marks. Total book ings were 143.564 tons by firms with a capacity normally devoted to com mercial castings of 96,900 tons. or at the rate of 14S.2 per cent of capacity, as against February bookings at 93 per cent.

EXPECT CHAMBERLAIN
 TO RESIGN POSITION
Shipping Board Member May Again
 Be Power In Oregon Politics

WASHINGTON. April 1s.-Forme United States Senator George Cham berlain, democrat plans to resign from the United States Shipping Board, probably next June-and his friends hope that this will mean his re-entrance into oregon senatorial politics. After resigning however. he will, for the time being at least. open law offices here.
 In 1924 the term of Senator Nc Nary. republican. expires, and already political attention in Oregon is be- ing focused on the senatorial race. McNary, according to reliable re- ports here, will encounter difficulty both within and without the ranks of his own party He opposes the bonus and hence may expect a large part of that speculative soldier vote to be against him. Also he voted for Sen ator Newberry when it so happens that Oregon is rather more than the average conscious on such phases of public virtue.
 Another strain in the wind Is the fact that, although Senators Me Nary and Stanfield. both republicans, toured the state of Oregon on behalf of the republican state ticket. plead ing the cause of the republican ad- ministration at Washington, at the last state elections a democrat was elected governor by an overwhelm ing majority,
 Many republicans assisted in the election of the democratic governor and, Chamberlain's friends declare. many republicans would join in sup porting him if he decided to enter the democratic senatorial primaries in May, next year. To do so he would have to resign from the ship ping board and returned to Oregon to take up his residence there again in time to enter the primaries.
 McNary probably will be able to win the republican nomination for the senatorship again although he may meet opposition in Ralph Will Hams of the republican national committee from Oregon, whose friends are urging him to enter the primaries.

KETT|G, BACK FRO M EGYPT AND CRUISE. DISCUSSES KING TUT
Ancient Pharaoh's Tomb Sealed, But Others As
 Good Are Seen

"Yes, I saw King Tut's tomb and numbers of others" said w. H. Ket- tig, who, with his family, has just retania. Just before I left Egypt I saw the late Lord Carnarvon. He was then wearing bandage on his face and was suffering from the ail- ment which finally killed him.
 King Tut's tomb was sealed when we were there, but we saw the in- terior of others. Tuts tomb is be- meath that of ore of the Rameses, which itself is 300 feet under the earth. We saw several old kings who were in good state of preser- walton, hair and finger nails being as when they died and were buried.
 Egypt Is the same old land of beggars and falSirs. Wherever you go, troops of beggars and walking merchants follow you to get aims or sell something. The Egyptian never starts sale with the price at which he intends to sell. One began with me for a couple of fine shawls at $50. Before we were through l got them for s25.
 .'We went through 19 countries and heard as many languages. The world outside of us Is a great mixture of people and tongues. We used 19 kinds of money. but, thanks. to the provision for our comfort made by the American Express company which conducted the cruise, we had TO trouble of any kind anywhere.
 "The best thing about it was the Mauretania. We realized that our own country knows better how to do things than any of them and does them best
 q was made to realize while trav- cling through parts of ErVope and Asia Minor that the mass of the stuff which we get in America in the way of representa- tion of conditions, etc, over there is propaganda It is not wise to believe everything one reads about conditions in foreign lands"
 Mir. Kettig was delighted to be back and predicted good times for
