In an informal talk here before the McMinnville chamber of commerce, declared investigat ors, as far as he was concerned. could probe the supreme court just as deeply as they cared to. He de clared he hoped they would -go , deep enough to find out the facts. "The supreme court is honest and is doing conscientious work. said, adding that the investigators would find Chief Justice Rand "an honest man," Justice Belt accompanied Justice Rossman to McMinnville. The lat ter spoke before the chamber of commerce onhe subject: "The Administration of Justice." Justice Rossman said the state supreme court hoped to have its. docket clear by the end of this year. of the republican members of the senate finance committee. "Even this amount." Senator Smoot said in his report, "must be reduced by additional ' expendi tures called for during the fiscal year 19Z3 by new legislation. The committee chairman gave notice he would ask the senate to take up the measure on Thursday, although a sharp fight is In pros pect with democrats prepared to ask tor $325,000,000 reduction program.

"The Naked Truth," which Is now showing to crowds at the Oregon theater. The film certain ly tells the naked truth and as un equivocally calls "a spade a spade." and no matter whether you -agree tnai it noes society a service to show such pictures, or feel, on the contrary, that the del icate subjects of which the picture treats should be better told in softer and more guarded tones, there can be no question but that the women who saw the film yes terday were Impressed and very soberly so. Few could be found to criticize the frankness displayed in the picture, for after all, as. one woman put It. "those things are why keep people in ignorance when ignorance may prove their ruin?" The play deals, with life in the raw. but at tnat it is lire aisnea up in an interesting and engross ing manner. The acting is good and the action cleverly directed There is no obscenity In it and nothing to which any one may ob ject on grounds of morality. Actually the film entertains as well as instructs. The show opened yesterday and will continue through today and Thursday. Women only are ad mitted to all the matinees, and to night and tomorrow nights the showing will be for men only. Children under 16 are not admit ted. and more Intensely real., than in any of her roles of the past. Maav said that Lillian Gish could . never .nlar -a, modern role and be accepted in it.

Representatives of the lumber companies will meet in San Fran cisco next week to complete the merger negotiations which were begun at Grays Harbor last week. It is reported that the negotia tions will proceed on a plan based on valuations of the various prop erties which have been deter mined by an appraisal committee and that Individual companies will receive stock in the new holding company in exchange for their plants. "Without a doubt the manufac ture of lumber by the mills of Grays Harbor could be accom plished much more advantageous ly if their entire efforts were un der one direction than under pres ent conditions where some 20 mill companies are producing with wasteful duplication of effort." said Mr. Weatherwax. "The merger will not preclude the possibility of a shutdown on the part of several mills but it will reduce the time the mills will be closed and will place them in a position to operate on a contin uous basis after the merger is concluded.
