Rather than risk the lives of any

Physicians, his friends and of
ficials of the rescue party crept
down into his narrow tomb to
day. to gather the legal evidence
that Floyd was burled there and
that he was dead, i
None of his family could take
a last look, but the thought that
Collins would have chosen such
a spot, among his beloved cares,
comforted them.
Mr. and Mrs. Lee Collins were
there, silent at the last rites for
their son. The aged couple sat

large boulders overlooking the

Mr. and Mrs. Collins listened
with bowed heads while the choir
of friends sang "Nearer My Cod
to Thee,' and the service opened.
The aged, father glanced often
toward the mouth of Sand Cave,
125 feet away, as the words "Thou

Senator Banks' measure, S. Ji. No.

to circuit courts from an order of
municipal officials revoking a
business license, 'was defeated late
Tuesday afternoon by the house
with a vote of 48 to 11
... A valiant effort was made by
Representative Lonergan to divert
the impending crash. Much pro
paganda was spread against the
bill, he said, but It stands on Its
own feet and gives to property
holders the same right that is ex
tended to bootleggers and other
criminals. Much of Portland's
business is transacted under the
license plan, he said,1 and there
was no reason .to imperil thous
ands of dollars because a curb was
wanted on soft drink places which
continually violated the law.
The measure provided that in
case of a revokation, the place of
business effected was closed pend
ing the appeaL Constitutional
rights and appeals from other
boards were cited In order to

Prof. L S. Ellerman was a
Salem visitor yesterday, looking
over the Salem dehydration plant.
He was accompanied by W. E.
Bean, bookkeeper for King's Food
Products company.
Mr. Ellerman established at
Gresham, ' near Portland, a suc
cessful potato starch factory. He
has sold that factory and - is
now footloose, . and he is nego
tiating with the King's Food
Products company managers with
a view to using the Salem dehy
dration plant as a potato starch,
dextrine and potato flour factory.
' Would Make Lot of Products'
If the connection now being
considered on both sides should
be made, the factory would turn
out a ; wide range of products,, in
cluding" vegetable, glucose and
medicinal products and various
food "products, as well as face
powder for 1 ladles - for the
lowly spud furnishes the best face
powder' made. " ?
' Cull - potatoes can be used in
making starch, or even diseased
potatoes. , The starch in the pota
to Is not affected by the disease,
and ' the' cull' potatoes - will make
as good starch as the highest
priced marketable potato.
Much Machinery Here
The 'Salem' dehydration plant
ot the King's Food Products com
pany' has about $24,000 worth' of
special starch machinery, for mak
ing textile starch. This machinery
Is new.' It" has never been used.
It was" brought here during he
war, but the plans for its use were
not carried out." ; -
The plan now being considered
contemplates the full use of Uiis
machinery; with perhaps Borne ad
ditional machinery. ' '
: W. C. Gunther, now president
of the King's Food Products com
pany, is expected in Salem soon,
to look over the plant, and it' Is
understood that the directors of
the company are how at work on
a plan to submit to the stock
holders, with a view of develop
ing a' starch factory here, : a'nd
perhaps operating the other parts
of the plant. Making, starch' Is a
process of dehydration; taking the
water out of the - potatoes and
separating the starch. : I

Prof. Ellerman also built a

States. He is a chemist of ability,
and he is also a practical chemical
engineer. He will not come! to

bill, and declared it was not drawn
