any radical changes, but will
gradually improve the plant as
we get our feet on the ground
and adapt ourselves to the new
conditions."

greater payroll. The plant Is
now employing regularly about
1215 men.

riage factory. In 1920 it was
converted into a phonograph
factory and in the early twenties
was operated for a time by the

The closed down plant was ac

Plywood company, Portland, in
1925. and has been in almost
continuous operation under his
supervision since, though the
last several years his son, Wal
ter, has been in active manage

Arrives in Port
Seattle, Nov. 14 W A Brook
lyn ship captain told today how
gale-whipped winds brought
death to two men on the freigh
ter Calmar.
The badly listing vessel, skip
pered by Capt. Richard B.
Hughes of Brooklyn, arrived
here yesterday after limping for
more than 24 hours since a heavy
deckload of lumber shifted in
stormy seas off the Columbia riv
er mouth.
One of the two victims, First
Mate Clarence Hutton, 50, Val
ley Stream, N. Y., died shortly
before the 3586-ton freighter
docked. Walter E. Roberts, 23,
of Somerville, Mass. was wash

ous wave which crushed Hutton
between a wheelhouse and
lifeboat the two men were try

"There is no question but that
he drowned, Hughes said. "No
one could have lived in that wa

I've ever seen in the Atlantic or
Pacific, and I've been at sea
since 1912."

Ped Lanes May
Gel Campaign
The League of Oregon Cities
may sponsor a state-wide cam
paign to create a respect on the
part of the public for pedestrian
lanes.
It was discussed as a meeting
of the executive committee of
the league at the home of Mayor
Robert L. Elfstrom Sunday. The
committee members think both
motorists and people afoot
should show more respect for
the lanes than they commonly
do. It was mentioned that in
California drivers stop when
pedestrians are in the cross-
lanes.
The committee was not enthu
siastic about daylight saving, but
if it is thrus upon the public
again the coming year they
think it should be uniform for
all cities in the state.
