The Managing Committee of the Trade and Com merce Bureau has decided to conduct an excursion to the Yakima Valley some time between the Ath and 15th of April, the exact date yet to be fixed.

The senior class of the uni versity is considering for its memo rial upon graduation a scholarship fund by eaeh member taking out $100 worth of life insurance, $10,000 for the entire class. The type of lnsur-1 ance considered is the 20-year pay- j ment life, under which policy $100 will accrue to the unlversy upon the death of each member. While the class has not yet come to a vote on the matte-, the proposition has caused considerable comment. Some object to the feature on the grounds that payments will not be guaranteed by all members for the en tire period. Others think that the death of class members is not a good basis for a memorial to their Alma Mater. The rate of premium will be ap proximately $3 per year per member. The class is also considering as a memorial a bust of the late Samuel H. Friendly, for 15 years regent and friend of the university.

After many years effort the Chamber of Commerce announces a direct ateamshtp service has been es tablished between Bandon and Portland. The River ton Fuel Co, of which W. S. Hall is general manager, located at Rivertoo, Oregon, haa secured the gasoline steamer "Ahwaneda" ana plans to maintain a weekly service between Portland and Bandon. The (irst sail ing took place from Albers Dock Ts'o i Tuesday of this week. Mr. Hall announces that the vessel is to be kept steadily on the ran and will handle all forms of general cargo southbound and bring coal for the' Rivrrton Fuel Co. north. The capacity of the" vessel is 1J5. tons D. W. In working out the territory to be covered Mr. Hall announces that freight may be routed via Bandora for Denmark, Bullards, Lamps, Langlois, Prosper, Park'crsburg and Riverton, and via Coquille for Arago, Norway, Myrtle Point. Bridge, Etelka and Gravel Ford. Riverton is some distance up the Coquille River and direct delivery w.fl be made to that poine Transfers will be made at Bandon and Coquille for the various other points named. Mr. Hall announces that in securing a market for Riverton coal in this territory he has the necessary return cargo to load his vessel at capacity each way; that is, if the merchants of Portland and the Coquilla territory give him full loadings southbound. DUTY PROPOSED ON SHIPS. Between the producer, who i frantically appealing for an opportunity to ahip hia commodities to the world's markets, and the builder of ships in American yards, who is endeavoring to establish the industry on a basis that American wage and efficiency of tabor will sustain, there has been for years a conflict of opinion. The Navigation Committee of the Chamber of Com merce believe that it has .reached a satisfactory solu tion that will protect the shipbuilding industry and also offer the necessary outlay for the American pro ducer This solution is being forwarded to Senator Chamberlain and members of the Oregon delegation and suggests a duty on foreign built ships that enter into the coastwise or the intercoastal trade of America. Under existing laws a foreign built ahip cannot enter into she coastwise or the intercoastal trade of this country under any circumstances, except by practically complete reconstruction. This law is made absolute. It'ie the only protection that the American shipbuilding industry has. . It haa no elasticity to meet emergencies. Ko matter bow vital the need for a coastwise move ment of commodities in American might be, except a vessel were wrecked or practically reconstructed it has no way of engaging ruto the coastwise trade to relieve tbe situation As against this absolute protection given to the ship builder, the producer points out that there is not a reciprocal obligation. The American built ahip that haa the monopoly of coastwise and intercoastal trade, as soon as' there ia an inducement offered in the off ahore business, units the coastwise trade and goes into tbe more inviting traffic. This situation is illustrated very forcibly at the present time. Enormous charters are being offered to naol war munitions and food stuffs to the warring nations of Europe. Every vessel that is not absolutely committed in a form that it can not evade and haa the capacity in fuel or cargo space to engage in the offshore trsde, haa been disposed to try it. This situation resulted ia the American producer Monday and Tuesday. Probable rain and snow ana cold winds are predicted. Rubbers and overshoes purchased during the January blizzard were largely in evidence on the downtown streets today, the snow flurry bring ing them out of their hiding places.

IfTf " who depend i on moving his commoditic- between Amer ican ports, finding; his rates climbing rapidly becaute of tbe foreign, demand Producers of the West Coast of America have reached a stage of determination m the premises that haa caused them lo demand a complete repeal , of our coastwise shippmg laws, to far as it forbids toreian bottoms to encage in coastwise trade. Many of the commercial interests of the Coast, that formerly stood steadfastly by the American ahip builder, have changed their po-ition. The extent of the change vanes ac cordma; to individual viewpoint. .Some want to throw the bars down for the period of the war. allowing; all foreign craft that want to engage in the coastwise trade until that time to do so Others want to throw the bars down forever, using only guch minor restric tion such at Australia has. In Australia any vessel can engage in the coastwise trade that will pay the Australian seamen's wage while carrying cargo be tween Australian ports. At the Chamber of Commerce Navigation Commit tee meeting Chairman H E- Penneil was authorized to develop the argument of a duty and put tf before the mem bets of the Oregon delegation In behalf of thia plan it is argued that the duty may be made sufficient to cover the difference in wage in American sarp yards. Then, if a time arrives when the demand lor American coastwise tonnage is very great, relief may be had by pari tit; the duty on foreign ships and entering them into the business Also, it gives tha "producer and shipper. Chairman Penneil and his Com mittee argue, the power of getting some relief from a situation that ia entirely one-sided While American ships are going into the offshore trade, as at the present pace, their places for a limited amount of the coast ' wise movement could be taken by smaller foreign craft that are not well adapted to the offshore trade Alfred Tucker, a member of the Navigation Com mittee and also a member of the Port of Portland, advanced thia argument of a duty before Senator Galhsger'a Merchant Marine Committee several years ago. At that time Senator Gallinger regarded it as a thought of great interest, but it was never developed Mr. Tucker brought the ida before the Navigation Committee at its recent meeting Members of the Committee think it has great possibilities and believe that tf it were properly backed by a certain number of Congressmen it might solve some features of the distressing mere bant manoc problem now before Con gress CROWINO 07 FLAX TO BE ENCOURAGED.

NEWS, PORTLAND. OREOON Valley of Oregon The plan provides for the payment by the Chamber of a definite sum of money during a period of months, provided interested communities of the valley will advance an equal sum The money is to be expended in the employment of Eugene Boise, an experienced flax grower, to instruct farmers.' It also contemplates signing up a sufficient acreage to justify tht establishment of manufacturing plant The Chamber of Commerce at Eugene has been tht first to accept tht above offer, mad to all 'counties of the Valley, and joint committees are now at work. Meetings are to be Iskld later at Dallas, Polk County, and at Worvaltis, Benuan County Sporadic attempts at establishing the production of flax on tht lands of the Willamette Valley of Oregon have been carried on daring tht past dozen or more years The history of these movements tells a story of faith on the part of many of Oregon's foremost men, and of steady progress in acquiring knowledge of an industry that has been largely confined to Belgium and Ireland. It has been necessary to convince the home people that flax could be profitably grown, and to demonstrate to the manufacturer that climatic con ditions were favorable to its manufacture A committee of the old Commercial Club labored with these problems for a number of years, and brought its accumulation of knowledge into the Chamber of Com merce when the merger took place in 191S. Th com mittee consisted of Dr. E A, Pierce. William Mc Murray, H b Milter, Will Up man and H. A Hinshaw In making this attempt to establish the flax industry the co-operation of the Department of Agriculture hat been solicited, and from a letter sent to Senator Cham berlain, may be gleaned a fairly good report of the operations of the committee to date. In part the letter is as follows I have your letter enclosing letter from Secretary Houston relative to the flax industry From this letter it would appear that tha Department of Agriculture assumes that we intend to confine our efforts to tht growing of the ordinary aeed flax commonly raised m this country and Canada While a certain amount of seed flax will, of course, be grown in Oregon, it ts our intention' to encourage principally the planting of high-grade, foreign fibre flax, which is far superior to the common seed flax and which commands a muck higher price, and any comparison between tht cotdi ttons now existing in the United States and the results we hope to obtain in Oregon would, therefort, be manifestly unfair "A number of foreign flax experts have investigated conditio as in Oregon and are una nimousinajirt opinion that the soil and cbmatic caxtd&mEBmflfjUiMgnt are peculiarly ad spied to the satfJTSffci iprsyM the very finest grade of fibre flax. ealsoKeVery best produced in Belgium e "Df H L Dctmel, president of the Deimel Linen Mesh Company of New York and San Francisco, with factories in Germany and England, states that he ts familiar with the world's production and ts confident that Oregon can produce fibre flax that can be made to equal tht best m th world Dr Deimel states that some samples of Oregon-grown flax were sent 10 one of his factories in Europe, a few years ago, and they were a revelation to his manager, who refused to believe that the samples were only a general average, and not speoaUy selected Dr Deimel further states that if the production of good fibre were an assured and stable fact, he together with his friends, would seriously coattder the establishment of a spinning, bleaching and weaving plant, consuming a minimum equivalent to tht prod six t of 1,090 to 4,090 Seres, and -employing 1500 to 1600 people "Lugene Bosst, i flax expert, formerly of Belgium, but who has grown flax in Oregon for several years, states that Oregon ts capable of growtng as good flax as any produced in the world, and that the yield of today Thursday evening by Chief ol Police J.
