While a new legislation of importance will be proposed and take its place on the calendars with much that came over from the last session, there is little prospect of action on many matters other than the supply bills.

I Would Develop Valley 'De clares Kay; Flax u.A Quota Filled Tonight Relation of the flax industry to the development of Salem and the surrounding community was well illustrated by Thomas B. Kay at the regular weekly luncheon of the Salem Chamber of Commerce M on day noon. I ' Giving' many figures to support his views Mr. Kay stated that there should be a market created to care for the local produce raised by the farmers and to give him a profit for the crops he produced. One way of giving the farmer the profit he should have was the planting of flax, and the establishment of flax mills in Salem, he said J h... "The opportunity to do this is here and every loyal citizen should support B. C. Miles in his project," was the statement of the speaker. One particular phase of the flax Industry was pointed out by Mr Kay and that was the market for fisherman's twine which, existed in the Pacific northwest. At the pres ent time over 1,000,000 pounds of the twine is consumed in the north west alone. OX this amount 300, 000 pounds was handled by one firm in Seattle. That market will be ready to receive the products bt the Salem mills, was his conten tion. i That the flax crop was the most profitable one that , the farmer could plant, because , it brought profit to the grower and to those who handled the product. Mr. Kay stated that from a ton of number and 2 long flax fibre! grown in the Willamette valley for manufac turing purposes would produce about $12 for the flax seed, be tween $65 and $70 for the flax fibre, and $5 for the tow. At the present time 'the State of Oregon is equipped to handle all flax grown in the valley. With the $36 which la paid to the grower and the $80 which the state would receive for retting the flax and preparing it fori manufac turing purposes there was a mar gin of great profit. It (would be the one way of makine the pent tentiary self-supporting I in addi tion to building up an industry in the Willamette valley, which would cause a market to be established for . the staple products of the farms here. 'r Mr. Kay contended that there was an overproduction . of staple prod ucts here and the only salvation of the farmer was to grow a crop that would free him from this fac tor, i The linen manufacturing Indus try was less free from complicat ed processes than any other textile industry. There is always a staple market, which does not vary from season to season, but remains the same for a comparative number of months. Hence, manufacturers could run their machinery during a period of depression, and work ers would not suffer from the shut down of the mils, which otherwise would take place. Accord ingto the statement of Nr. (Con tinned n ptgt ty HELD TpAMOUS VESSEL r STILL IN DOCK AT BREMERTON battleship "Oregon" Fund Not Touched By Adjutant; Fed deral Aid Is Xacking Not a dollar has been spent of the $30,000.00 appropriated by the " legislature for -bringing the battleship "Oregon" from Bremer ton to Portland harbor, according to the annual report of the mili tary; department as submitted to the governor by Brigadier Gen eral George A. White,' command ing the national guard, and who was vested with authority to spend the money in conjunction with the state general staff. f General White reports his ref usel to accept the battleship dur ing the past year unless the gov ernment spent all sums for condi tioning, and while state and gov ernment were once within a few, thousand dollars of . an agreement, the adjutant general stood pat in refusing to spend a dollar on the vessel. i - As the matter now stands, the report indicates by a reproduction of. correspondence with the navy department, that the old battle ship is in a condition of status quo as to its final disposition. The government, at last accounts, was unable to put up the money im mediately needed to put the ship in condition and. the state refuses to provide the necessary funds. WOOL IS SOLD ? PORTLAND.

Introduction of letters and tele grams exchanged between Morti mer and Thompson and James W. Black, relating to the awarding of the hospital contracts, was strenuously objected to by the de fense, but the objections were over ruled. One long document, pur porting to describe the plans of the Columbian syndicate, a South American development project of Thompson, Black, his business as sociate, and others of which For bes was supposed to be chief en gineer, was withheld from the jury, for examination hy defense counsel. 1 Mortimer testified today that Black, now dead, and Thompson, offered Forbes the job as chief engineer at $100,000 a year, while Forbes was head of the Veterans' bureau and Mortimer testified that Forbes accepted. The Col umbian syndicate, Mortimer testi fied, had visions of landing con tracts for $100,000,000 and For bes 'was to help in obtaining these. President-elect Espina of Col ombia was introduced to Forbes on a visit to New York, Mortimer testified and the contractors told Forbes to use hl Influence to have President Harding speak in favor of Thompson and Black when Espina was presented to President Harding. - The firm of Thompson' and Black had retained Mortimer, he testified for 35 per cent of the net profits they made out of Veter ans' bureau hospital contracts. On a trip to Atlantic City in May 1922, Mortimer testified he told Forbes he would give-half of this 35 per cent on all the contracts Forbes gave the firm.
