NEW USE FOR
VALLEY FLAX
STRAW SEEN

Utilization of valley flax straw
for the manufacture of paper was
a possibility discussed at a meeting
of the Southwest flaxseed associa-
ton with representative of the
Champagne Paper Co. Saturday
morning in the court house.
This firm wishes to try out the
project for one year in the valley
to determine whether Or not the
straw is suitable for their product,
if it can be produced in sufficient
quantities for their purpose and if
the company can pay the growers
sufficiently to warrant them to go
to the expense of baling, etc. The
IA growers present were OF the
opinion that the proposal would be
worth trying out and planned to
contact other members in this re-
gard.

Six Killed
In Train n
Explosion
Blast Follows Crash
OF Powder and
Ore Cars

SPRING GARDEN, Cal,
Feb. 20. (UP) Six men
were killed and five injured
slightly when an ore train
smashed into a powder train
at the Walker copper mine near
here last night, it was learned
today.
The terrific explosion which en-
sued killed four men who were
riding on the ore train and two
others who were in a shaft above.
The two In the shaft were suf :
focated by gas.
Five men on the same level and
near the location of the explosion
were knocked down and injured
slightly by the conclusion. Their
injuries were superficial.
The accident occurred about 10
o'clock last night, but word of the
tragedy did not reach the outside
world until today. The Walker
mine is IN one of the most mac
cessible spots in the Sierras.
Because all men riding on the
ore train were killed, mine Off
cials did not know the exact cause
of the collision.
l.. F. Bayer, manager of the
mine, told the United Press that
officials could only guess at the
cause, as 1t was not known whe-
ther thrown switch Or runaway
train was responsible.
The explosion y did not cause
much damage to the mine.
Bayer said he did not know
how much powder was on the
train. The train was demolished.
Bodies of the victims were re-
moved from the mine today and
will be brought here on a tram
the only means of transportation
to the mine. Deep SHOWS blocked
the roads, and the tram is used
to carry ore from the mine to
Spring Garden, where it is loaded
on railroad cars.

ACCIDENT SECRETS.
BURIED IN WATER
Probes Fail to Find
Cause of Mystery
Disasters

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb.
20. (UP)-Secrets of three
accidents that took % lives
this year were buried deeply
tonight in the world famous
waters that wash the shores OF the
San Francisco peninsula.
The same waters held fast also to
the bodies of Is of the victims OF
the tragedies, two of them airplane
disasters, and the third bridge
building accident.
An airplane carrying two U. s.
Army fliers on night maneuverS
dove into the San Pablo Bay arm
of San Francisco Bay on the night
of Jan. 4. Another airplane, a
transport plane flying a United
Airlines route, buried its nose in the
mud of the bay off San Francisco
airport the night of Feb. 9, carrying

100000 Golden Gate bridge ripped
from it's clamps and fell into the
water at the point where Bay and
Pacific ocean meet. A swift ebb
tide may have swept the bodies to
sea.
None of these accidents has been
explained completely. Wreckage
of the army bomber and the bodies
of it's two occupants, 1t. Herbert
Hnierem and Hartley Roberts, still
lie in the water somewhere off the
eastern shore of Marin county
The wreckage was found in water
SO shallow it could not be removed
entirely.
The right wing and the right
motor of the Douglass transport
plane still are missing, as are the
bodies of five of the II persons
lost in the crash. Major R. w
Schroeder, chief of the department
of commerce airlines inspection
bureau, has recessed an official in
quiry until the missing plane parts
are found. Divers and dredges are

ing hall opened by the merchants
and manufacturers association, and
union men said 300 more would
be thrown into the harbor before
morning.
Additional vessels tied up today
were the British freighter York
City, with only half her 5000 ton
cargo of Philippine sugar unloaded;
the Floridian of the American-Ha-
waiian line; the French steamer San
Francisco and the Dutch motor
ship Manoeran. In all, approx
mately 10 ships have been tied up
or forced to leave port unloaded as
a result of the picketing.
The picketing at present is in
force at the Terminal Island piers
of the general steamship company
and the Luckenbach eastbound
piers. In the outer harbor, the
Matson line, American Hawaiian
line and Hammond Shipping COM
pany terminals were picketed.
The teamSters announced that
the Grace line, Panama-Pacific
line and Banning company would
not be picketed at present because
they were fair" to the union.
Pickets had been thrown around
the Isthmian line docks early today
but were withdrawn later without
explanation.
The present labor crisis at the
harbor started when teamsters
charged that the Matson line had
barred union organizers from its
terminals as means of halting
drive to enroll non-union truck
drivers in the labor ranks.

u. S. Determined
To Export Teeth
As Well as Food
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
The United States is determined not
only to sell more food abroad but also
teeth with which to eat it.
This country's proposed trade agree
ment with Great Britain, initial steps
for which were announced recently by
Secretary of State Cordell Hull, calls
for the expectation Of more than 40
100000 molars and incisors to that
country, a figure topped in 1896 when
the United States collected 81 .102 900
for supplying dental repairs to British
subjects.
The teeth are exported individually
and not in sets, statistics at the Com
merce Department show, the British
dentists preferring to make up the
plates to suit their clients.
The 1896 figures show that the 40
600, 900 American-made teeth were dis
tributed among 1000 900 Britons, q
twelfth OF the British Isles population.
This export item is listed in the trade
agreement under scientific instru-
ments."
