Reld. Fruit Inspector for Clackamas and Multnomah Counties, returned Tues day from Corvallls, where he went for In formation on the coddling moth pest and Fcalc. Mr. Held has also prepared him self -with a stcreoptlcon and views show ing these pests, and has prepared to lec ture on the subject of spraying wherever ho can secure an audience of farmers who want information and arc anxious to rid theJr fruit trees of pests. Mr. Reld said: "I would rather talk to an audi ence of 15 farmers who want to learn i than a large audience of indifferent hear- j ers." He will deliver his talks anywhere 1 In these counties when asked to do so, and there will be no cost as far as he Is roncerned. Any community that desires his services can secure a date by ad dressing -him at Mllwaukle. and he will l tvpjnd cheerfully. With his stcreoptl- j con equipment,' he hopes to be able to I explain more clearly the ravages of pests and the remedies. Secuhe One Todat. aturday is the last day that you can secure one of the J23 talking machines that The Orcgonian Is giving away with one year's subscrip tion. There is a great rush for the ma chines, and If you put off ordering until the last moment you may not bo able to secure one. It Is better to order today, and then you can feel assured that the machine will be delivered before Christ mas. After Christmas the same machine will cost you $23, and you will have to pay the same for records that you pay If you get a machine for nothing on 'The Oregonian's proposition. Call at Eilers Piano House and hear the machine play, ulng and talk. There is no better machine made. Fifty thousand records to select from at the regular market price. You will probably never have another oppor tunity to secure a talking machine for nothing. Pioneer. Insurance Man's Death. William L.

RUSHING CROSS - COUNTRY Transcontinental 'Lines Making 2Ccw Fast Freight Jtccords on Piano Shipments. For some unexplained reason a half dozen cars containing pianola pianos, pianolas, orchestrelles, and also regular pianos, were held up in and about New. York City for nearly a week. Ellens Piano House, to whom the Inrtrumenta were to be shipped, has been experiencing an enormous demand for holiday stock and extraordinary efforts were mado by the various transcontinental lines to de liver the instruments on time. The Great Northern people, early yesterday morn ing, delivered thro? of the carloads, the Northern Pacific brought in two more, one of them with costly Weber pianola pianos having been raced across the con tinent In the marvellously short time of seven days from Minnesota transfer. Union Pacific Railroad also delivered three carloads In record-breaking time so that the management of Eilers Piano House is able to announce once more a complete assortment of every catalogue style of over thirty hlghgrade makers In their present Christmas display.

ESTABLISH FACTORY HERE Cltarles II. "Welch t Arranging for Ex periments In North Pacific Coast States in Cultivation of Hemp and -Flax. Charles H. Welcht. manager of the Minnesota Heaap Co.. which has mills at Northfleld, Minn., is in Portland ar ranging for a series of experiments on the raising of hemp aad flax in Oregon. Mr. Welcht arrived la Portland, Tues day, and is a guest at the Hotel Portland. For the past month he has bees in the Northwest arranging for experiments in the raising of hemp and flax, to be con ducted in the State of Washington and British Columbia, as well as in Oregon. Mr. Welcht is an expert ia the raising and use in manufacture of both of these products. He stated that if the experi ments in Oregon were successful, and ho is satisfied that they will be In every re spect. Eastern capitalists he represents will install a large hemp fiber mill in this state inside of a year. The mill will cost not less than 52W.(XO, and will employ several hundred workmen. Mr. Welcht says while It will be an enterprise of no little importance, it will be but the stepping stone to greater manufacturing institutions which will follow. "The experiments in Oregon will be carried on In several different parts of the state next Summer." said he. "I will return to this section of the country in the Fall .when part of the hemp will be shipped to our mills at Northfleld. where it will receive a thorough and re liable test. If these tests -are satisfac tory we will then erect a large hemp fiber mill in Oregon. There is no doubt In my mind out what hemp and flax can be grown to per fection here. In fact, this has been dem onstrated by other experiments. The hemp and flax industry will some day be of vast magnitude in Oregon and Wash ington and large mills, employing hun dreds of skilled workmen, will be run ning in all of the cities of importance along the Coast. Portland will undoubt edly bo a great manufacturing center. I do not think the day Is far distant when all .these will come to pass. "If I say the word the Eastern capital ists I represent are willing to put In the hemp fiber mill. We spent four years experimenting In Minnesota, at an expen diture of more than JKO.OCO, before we put In the mill at Northfleld. When you consider that Oregon and Washington can raise the finest kind of hemp and flax and that most of the two products comes from Europe. In spite of a duty of $Wa ton. you can obtain some Idea of what these new Industries mean to the North west." 3IEGARGED AND FASSETT HUN GRY AND FREEZING. Transcontinental Automobillsts Keep Alive on Squirrel Roasted Over a Gasoline Fire. FLAGSTAFF. Ariz., .Dec. SO. The searching party which left here yester day afternoon to locate the lost trans continental autoraoblllsts. Percy F. Me gargel. of New York, and David F. Fas sett, of Lansing. Mich-, found them late last night in a desperate condition, snowed In. without food or gasoline, 13 miles from town, near a deep ravine in the mountains. In a few hours longer they would have perished from the bitter cold. Both men suffered from the cold, but had managed to savo themselves from be ing frozen to death by use of gasoline to build a fire. Smoke from this fire led the rescuers to the spot. By a mere chance a squirrel had been shot during the day and cooked over their fire. It was their first food for over 35 hours. While seek ing .the transcontinental automoblllsts the searching party came across the froz en body of a logger named Thomas Smith, who had been lost for two days. The automobile was towed into town late last night and will leave Wednesday or Thursday, providing the crew Is suf ficiently recovered from its long ex posure.

Rldgely today made a statement in regard to the trouble of the three Chicago banks controlled by John R. Walsh. He said: Ia thti eai. as ta all others with which I bare bad to deal. I must decline to make any statement or slve out anything for pub lication in regard to the criminal violation of law. The trouble with the WaUh bank wa da to two things which are always damceroui the holding of large amounts of public deposits and the managing officers of the back being Interested in other invest ments. There was no money stolen from the Walsh banks or shortage In their securi ties, as there was, for lastance. in the En terprise Bank of Allegheny. Pa. John It. Walsh was for years considered a rery successful and conserratlre banker, but he branched out more and more Into other enterprises. He owned larjce Chicago newspaper, three or four railroads, coal fields, quarries and had real estate and prop erty ot every description, lie Is a man of marvelous energies and fine ability. Ills companies were well organized and con ducted, and he might have succeeded, aa he always had In the past. If he had not under taken too much for his capital. Mr. Rldgely praised the "brave, broad minded and public-spirited" action of the Chicago bankers In taking up and guaran teeing the deficiencies in the Walsh insti tuntions. and says their action "averted any further financial trouble In Chicago or.elsewhcre which might have led to very serious consequences if not stopped as It was." WALSH'S GREAT 3 II STAKE. ShoHld Have Stopped Making Money, Says rear sons. CHICAGO. Dec 39. The only Jocular note heard thus far concerning the Walsh failure comes from D. K. Pearsons, phi lanthropist and stockholder In the Chi cago National Bank. Mr. Pearsons en joyment of what he carls "Walsh's de cline ana rau-n is aue to nis unsnaacn belief that the new directorate will bring both depositors and stockholders through without loss. That much conceded, the college benefactor takes the position that his JtS., tied up In 132 nhares, entitles him to whatever humor he can And In the situation. "John R. Walsh was a mighty smart man. but no banker." .said Mr. Pearsons last night. "Friend John certainly has mixed things up. He was altogether too sanguine to make a good banker, and now he Is reaping the result. "Of course. I would not be talking like this If I did not believe that everybod$ would come out of It unscathed. People car say what they have a mind to, but I. who have known John R. Walsh for 43 years, know that he Is an honest man. and that his investments ultimately will pan out all right. "Let's take things coolly and go slow. At any rate, that is going to be my motto, notwithstanding the liability en tailed in my IS shares. That committee of Chicago bankers t. doing a magnifi cent piece of work, and the fact that it has undertaken to straighten out John's affairs supports my belief that genuine and sufficient assets are there. "Poor John! I have known him ever since he kept, that dinky little news stand on Dearborn street. His only mis take has come rather late In life. If he had stopped getting richer and tried to give away his money, he would still be a rich man." OTHER BAXK NOT AFFECTED Cannot Feel Bad Effects Front "Walsh Failure, Says Forgan. CHICAGO. Dec. 39t "Other banks and financial ci raits In general in Chicago cannot possibly feel any bad effects from the failure of the John R. Walsh banks-. said James R. Forgan. president of the First National Bank and of the Chicago Clearing Hosse Association, last night. "In guaranteeing the deposits of the three banks, the other banks of Chicago have taken no unusual action. They have not assumed any great liabilities. In fact, the actual liability assumed by each bank Is comparatively trivial not more than is tset on an average day's business. "There Is so other bank in Chicago In the condition which cassed the downfal of John R. Walsh's Institutions. No other bank can he subjected to the criti cism that Its president Is engaged In other lines of business, as Walsh was. "Of course, every Chicago bank has business mtn In Its directorate. It Is so all over the world. But with all these business tanen as directors in the Chicago bank, no other bank Is using Its funds for outside Investntcnts as were these three Walsh Resigns PhdIIc Office. CHICAGO. Dec 38. John R. Walsh, ex president of theChIcaga National Bank, today resigned as treasurer of the South Park Board. The board at once appoint ed J. J. Mitchell, president of the Illi nois Trist & Savings Bank, to succeed Mr. Walsh. Mr. Mitchell's bonds were fixed at Jl.eW.Wt.
