An excellent Quality of fibre has been obtained, one-carload of seed has been sold and another Is ready. The total receipts for seed will be between $2500 and $2700. Perhaps the most gratifying thing about the whoLf flax experiment is that while the Eugene Chamber of Com merce guaranteed to pay growers of flax $7.60 an acre for their crop, the returns will be over that figure. Just how much remains to be determined when all returns are in. The Portland Chamber of Commerce has been active for a long time in promoting flax culture experiments throughout various parts of the Wil lamette Valley, wherever conditions are thought favorable to its growth. The Chamber has a flax committee that has made a study of flax possi bilities in Oregon and the opinion of experts, favorable to building up a flax Industry in this state, has been se cured. The committee consists of the follow ing men: Dr. E. A. Pierce, H. B. Mil ler, Will Lipman and William McMur ray. In a letter Just received by the Portland Chamber, Mr. Quayle says: "Yesterday we took out the sixth retting and installed the seventh. We have one or two more rettings of flax, when we will have completed the ret ting of the entire crop other than what is being retted by the farmers for tow. "We are out of the woods. Rain will ..not seriously interfere with our opera tions. Every machine in the flax plant is in operation today, except that we are not as yet working up the long line. The warm water retting, is an absolute success. The fibre we get from that retting is oily and retains its strength. We have Just placed on the field the prettiest retting we have had and we held the temperature of the water to 85 degrees. "From the best information the writer can obtain, nine out of 10 flax plants in the United States have failed. So far we are unable to locate any serious er rors made on our part, but are looking for the nigger in the wood pile and he may show up a little later." Greeter Unable to Resist Call of Hotel Work.

VA TANGUAY, the cyclonic, the best-known woman on the Amer ican stage and one of its most remarkable artists, is to appear here for the first time at the Heilig Theaier for two nights and two matinees, No vember 9-10, under the direction of William Morris, who has made the Harry Lauder tours world-famous. Eva Tanguay is a name to conjure with. She is said to have played to larger audiences, has produced more sensational acts and made more friends than any woman on the American stage today. Critics ' the country over have sought to analyze the wonderful power which she exerts over her auditors. She has been called in turn cyclonic, vi brant, hypnotic and in fact the entire list of adjectives has been exhausted in attempts to describe her. "Solve the problem of telepathic in fluence and you have the answer to Eva Tanguay's vogue," says one critic. "It may not be that she is able to talk to you through space, but that she Im bues you with the same nervous sensi tiveness which dominates her whole being is a fact which no one who sees her act will be able to gainsay." Mr. Morris has given Miss Tanguay the support which her pre-eminence in her profession demands. Chief in her support is Charles J. Ross, a comedian of splendid talent and the best-known portrayer of travesty In America.

The Upper Necanicum country is booked to furnish its pro rata of the logs which the accelerated demand for lumber is causing. Olson Bros., who are operat ing several logging camps In this vi cinity are establishing a camp seven miles up the Necanicum from here. This camp will give employment to a large number of men. The logging camps are sii short of men yet, Kochus CtannK. Kocheng Cnung, who will play the leading role in the produc tion of Tristrand Bernard's "Krench Without a Master," which the Reed College Drama Club will stage in about a month, is a native of China and a grad uate of Tsing Hua College at Pekln.

Commissioner Baker declared that the members of the Council are insln cere in their stand. "You all admit," he said, "that South Portland children are entitled to a playground and that it should be established. You decided this question three years ago, and if you had been sincere you would have established the play place long before this. "You all know that this Council can do anything It wants, and it has done everything that there has been any sincere Interest in. You have put through this project for the elimina tion of the grade crossings on the East Side and you have put through a lot of other things that you said were needed. The reason you put them through was because you sincerely be lieved they were needed. If you had been sincere you would have given South Portland a playground, for, as you all admit, there is a great need and the district Is entitled to what it has asked for. And you came to real ize these conditions and facts three years ago, according to your own ad missions. You even went so far as to look over the ground." Mayor Albee took exception to Mr. Baker's attack. He declared that Mr. Baker had no right to brand the Com missioners as Insincere merely because they did not see things as he did. "You have your views and we have outs, said the Mayor. "We say South Port land should have a playground fo children, but we differ as to the method of getting It." I declare," replied Mr. Baker, "that any body of men having the powe that we do cannot be sincere when we admit that something should be done and then don't do it during three years that we know of the need." Commissioner Baker asked the Com missioners to express tneir views on the $60,000 appropriation. "There 1 no use holding this question In abey ance any longer, if anybody has changed his mind. "Let's have th answer and have It over with. Has anybody had a change of heart since we voted before?" The Mayor and three Commissioners. Daly, Dieck and Blgelow, who voted against the $60,000 appropriation, all shook their heads. "Well, then that's all there is to It." said Mr. Baker. "I Just want to say. however, that South Portland lsvgolng to get that playground before I go out of office." Round Models Year-' Advance Designs on Show A Surprise Demand WhichMakers Cannot Meet 1A New-Type Sedan Top Removable 2 The Mitchell Springfield Type Sedan 3 Cabriolet The Mitchell Coupe Roadster 4 All-Season Limousines and Coupes Here are some facts which call for prompt consideration if you seek a winter car. First, there is a dearth of cars this fall fitted for year-'round ser vice. And those are the coming types. There will not be half enough. Second, in the Mitchell models the advance designs there is a very small production. And you'li prefer these models. A 20-Fold Demand We suppose the demand for all season types has increased twenty fold in a year. And history shows that when a trend gains that momentum it soon dominates the field. So this is sure: A large percent age pf buyers hereafter will de mand one car for all weathers and seasons. That demand is rooted in good sense, so it is bound to flourish. But it has grown so fast that fine-car makers this fall cannot half-way meet it There will be an enormous shortage. So folks who seek a car of this sort should decide at once. Next -Year Models The Mitchell luxury models now on exhibit are designs just completed for the 1917 Shows. They- were all designed under John W. Bate, the famous effi ciency expert. And under his motto "Do everything In the best way that anybody knows." So our craftsmen first examined all the other fine models built All the latest European and Ameri can. No attractive feature any where has been overlooked. These new Mitchells, therefore, combine more appealing features than any other single car. You can prove that in five minutes. But these are advance models. . This fall's production is extremely limited, and it is nearly sold. So if you want one of them we must know at once. Five New Designs We have a new-type Demount able Top which fits the Mitchell Touring Car. The windows and supports disappear when not wanted, as in the Springfield type. This doesn't look like an added top. It doesn't overlap. It looks like a Sedan, with electric dome light curtained windows, gray up- MITCHELL MODELS 3-passenger Roadster, $1325 $1325 $1360 5-passenger Touring Car, 7-passenger Touring Car, Equipped with ncrnatintable Top Only.ywo Extra 4-passenger Cabriolet, $1775 4-passenger Coupe, $1850 7-passenger Springfield Sedan, $1985 7-passenger Limousine, $2650 AH prices f. o. b.

A superb Sedan with the windows up, a perfect Touring Car when the windows are out The door on the left opens at the front, as it should, where the driver sits, while the door on the right opens from the tonneau. The Mitchell Cabriolet changes in like way from a Coupe to an open Roadster. In the Mitchell Limousine all windows drop. And so in the Mitchell Coupe. Thus all these five types render year-'round service. Many Extra Features In all Mitchell models you will find many extra features. They are paid for by factory savings, due to John W. Bate. His efficiency methods and this model plant give us enormousad vantage. Compared with the average car in this class, the Mitchell offers at least 20 per cent extra value. The Mitchell of today embodies 700 improvements which John W. Bate has made. Most of them mean added strength and en durance. You will want the Mitchell when you know it So we urge you to see these luxury models while we can still supply them. MITCHELL MOTORS COMPANY, Inc. Racine, Wis U. S.

Tha handicap endured by pupils of the Oregon State School -for Deaf Mutes will be lessened by the volunteer services of the commission of promi nent Portland specialists, who left to day for Salem to make the tirst physi cal survey ever undertaken of the institution. Dr. David N. Roberg, State Health Officer, with Doctors F. A. Kiehle, George Ainslie, R F. Davis. R. B. Karkeet, J. L. McCool and Ralph A. Fenton, specialists of high standing in the medical profession, will examine each pupil of the school, with the ob ject of ascertaining the physical capa bilities and limitations. It is not improbable that, as a result of the survey, the method of instruc tion by classes may be changed to that of grouping the pupils by physical classification. For some time Superin tendent G. S. Tillinghast, of the school, has felt that the results attained were hampered by physical drawbacks aside from the absence of speech and bear ing. In September he asked the aid of the State Board of Health in the "mat ter, and the appointment of the com mission followed.
