New York. is s-ratifyina; to ail who are interested in the, future of the Oregon tlkx industry." aald Dr. K. A. Pierce, chairman of the chamber's Oax committee, yesterday. '---- Mr. Kay has assured tne cnamoer of Commerce that he wilt endeavor to make the investigation soon after the first of the year. When he wu first asked to . report on the commercial feasibility of the Starling process and the capacity of the machines which Mr. Starling- has invented," it was ex pected that a mill it SeUwoofl. lor roerly buUt for mohair manufacture, might be secured for flax manufacture. W. D. B. Dodson, secretary of the Chamber of. Commerce, says the cham ber wishes the investigation . to be made whether the Sell wood mill should still be available or not. The state treasurer has been assured that an industry important to the fu ture of Oregon may depend upon his investigation and that consequently be will be performing a greater service for the state by going to New York than by remaining at his office in Salem. J. Sidney Starling, inventor of the process under consideration, spent sev eral months in Portland and is con vinced that Oregon can produce flax as fine as that grown in Belgium and that the climatic conditions fos manu facturing are equal to Ireland's. By his process yarns are produced from flax without the customary retting process. TOWN TOPICS Christmas Art Exhibit The Christ mas exhibition is now open at the Mu seum of Art.

Since 8 o'clock Friday morning there has been a fall in the river here of half a foot even, the stage this morning being 18.8 feet. All indications are for a steady fall, according to T. Francis Drake, forecaster at the weather bu reau. One sure sign, he said, is In the weather forecast, which predicts fair tonight and Sunday, with colder weather tonight. Colder weather, if anything. will check the flow of water out of the mountains. With this development, the prediction that these will be no fur ther rise in the river at this time is made positive. Another sign Is the fact that all points up the valley reported substantial drops this morning, although at every place there was rain. At only one place in the inland empire was a rise reported. This was Lewlaton, which had .22 of an Inch of rain and recorded a rise in the river there -of .8 of a foot. Umatilla, having .18 of an Inch of rain, reports a fall in the river of half a foot. Eugene had .18 of an Inch of rain. The river there fell one foot. At Al bany there was .26 of an Inch of rain and there was a fall in the river or z.9 feet. There was .20 of an inch of rain at Salem and a drop of 4-8 feet. Oregon City had a drop of .7 of an inch with .78 of an inch of rain. At Portland tno rainfall was .48 of an inch. All of these readings are for the 24 hours ending at 8 o'clock this morning. The only evidence of the flood at Port land now, .worthy of special note, is the fact that some of the lower docks are still under water. With the river go ing down a few Inches more, however, most of the docks will be fully re covered. The water never reached some of the higher docks.

Lick ; Guest of County. Sentence was passed by Judge Bean in federal court yesterday - upon W. F. Hallowell of Seattle and W. F. XJck of Helena, Mont, convicted of using the mails to defraud In the Canadian con spiracy case.' in which the Oregon-Cali fornia, railroad land grant was involved. Hallowell was sentenced to IS months in the federal prison on McNeils island and Lick to three months in the county Jail at Portland. An unexpected and dramatic feature of the sesaloa was . the plea, made by Hallowell to behalf of Lick. , Hallowell urged that, the entire blame and. if pos sible, the entire punishment be placed entirely on himself. He wanted to tes tify that Lick, being a man without edu cation or knowledge of law, had taken orders from him and obeyed them with out any thought of wrong doing. ' Judge T. J. Cleeton, representing Lick. llkeawlse -advanced this plea, with the addition that as Lick's three sons and two sons-in-law had ail enlisted Jn their nation's army, the entire support ot their families devolved oa thla one man. United States Attorney Clarence I. Reames laid special stress on tha fact that never in the history of these cases had any effort been made by any of the defendents in this or former trials to find out from government officials If the lands were open to entry. Judge Bean, in pronouncing sentence, d in all of these cases he was divided between a sense of duty and sympathy for the families of the convicted men. but felt that the latter fact must not interfere with his obligation. 150 WOODEN SHIPS IN 1918 OREGON'S AIM to get ships and to get them as ralckly as poealble.

Clark, speaking for the rollU said an estimate of 141.000,000 feet cf ship timbers, with additional help to be expected from valley mills, is reason able. He predicted that Oregon will build 25 to 23 1-8 per cent more wooden ships than Puget Sound. While the mllie on Puget Sound have greater capacity, be explained, the Oregon logs yield a greater percentage of ship timbers. Orgealsatloa Is 8sggetd . William Plgott, the Seattle business man and shipbuilder, who called the Puget Bound builders together last Sun day night, then wired to Chairman Hur ley a Puget Sound pledge of 400.000 tons of wooden and 400,000 tons of steel ve sels. admitted that Oregon can build more edowon ships than Puket Sound. He said that a local record 8 1-3 per cent greater than Puget Sound may be expected, and he promised to buy Mr, uarit euner a suit or clothes or an automobile if the record is made. H. B. Van Duser of the Inman-Poul- sen mill said It should be possible to organise the milling industry greatly to Increase the output of ship timbers. A large amount of lifoiber for shipbuild ing should come from the Tillamook line, In addition to other dUtrlcts men tioned, he said.
