Hansett, manager of the Oregon Flax Fiber company at Turner and former superintendent of the flax plant at the penitentiary, has written a letter in which he protests against the move of the State board of control in planning to sell flaxseed to a firm in Belfast, Ireland. He states that if the move is made it will mean a drawback to the flax industry in Ore gon, and that mills at Eugene and Tur ner must shut down. He gives as a reason for this assertion that the mills named have disposed of their seed, ex pecting to get more later from the state. He declares that he has just re ceived a telegram from a New York capitalist who is planning to come to the state in January and construct a large plant in Oregon. In event the deal with the Belfast firm proves suc cessful the proposal of the capitalist may be checkmated, he states. Apple Crop Cleaned Up.

In addition, 11 carloads of apples were shipped to the factory from other localities in the state. The plant ground up 1,184,295 pounds of apples, which produced 100, 038 gallons of juice. They also pro duced 40,000 gallons of loganberry juice. This was the first year of oper ations. They gave employment to 25 men. Additions are to be made to the building next year.

FOOD COST PROBE STARTED Department of Justice Agent Comes to Portland for Purpose. Portland Special Agent Bryon, of the United States department of Jus tice, has begun investigations of the cost of food here to determine if there have been violations of the Sherman anti-trust law. United States Attor ney Reames has charge of the investi gations in this district. As the department of Justice has jurisdiction over only interstate busi ness and traffic, any irregularities oc curing within the state must necessar ily be taken care of by state prose cutors. In the event irregularites are dis covered the facts will be laid before the Federal grand jury. No details of the extent of the in vestigations are possible, as such would be quite problematical, but it is known that Mr. Bryon has a number of asso ciates in the field and his work and that of his lieutenants will be most ex haustive. Every article of food that requires large capital to produce will be under the surveillance of the Federal officers. They will trace prices from production to consumption. The major part of the investigations will surround the methods of price fix ing. Bee Study to Open Jan. 8. Corvallis, Ore.

Puyallup, Wash. Hops still remain ing in the valley unsold will probably be held over until the spring, according to hop brokers and growers here. The only hope for the immediate sale of the hops is the lifting of England's embar go, prohibiting their import. Such ac tion would cause the price to soar at once, and the growers would receive a handsome return for their product. The price is now hovering around 10J and 11 cents, and no sales of any size have been reported for some time. Morton Sends Spuds East. Morton, Wash.

London The Monday morning news papers again are giving ample space to President Wilson's note, assidously seeking to penetrate any possibly con cealed motive that may have led the President to what is considered here a most inopportune movement. According to the Washington cor respondents of London newspapers the opinion in the United States as well as here is that there must be "someth ing behind it," and it is the opinion of many of the newspaper writers that this act was inadvertently revealed by Secretary of State Lansing when he referred to the United States as on the verge of being drawn into the war. The suggestion iB put forward by some of the writerB that what would possibly so involve the United States would be a resumption on a still Lord Curzon Will Wed Another American Beauty The engagement of Lord Curzon, just named a member of the British war council, to Mrs. Grace Elvina Duggan, widow of Alfred Duggan, of Buenos Ayres, and daughter of the late J. Munroe Hinds, once American minister to Brazil, has been announced in London. His wife, Mary Victoria Leiter, daughter of the Chicago millionaire, died ten years ago. Mrs. Duggan is a native of Alabama. She is tall and handsome, and has been known in Eu ropean capitals for some years. Her former husband made a large fortune in Argentina. greater scale of Germany's submarine policy, The passage in the President s note to which he professes to find the aimB of both belligerent groups indentical and his qualifying phrase in the con text, "as stated in general terms to their own people and to the world, for the most part is ignored, except in the columns of newspapers of pacifist tendencies. It cannot be said that these late press opinions show less op position to the President s action than those of last week. The Morning Post says the king's speech in parliament was perhaps the best answer that could be made to "the President's amiable proposal." Alluding to the President's belief that the nations are ready to welcome a league of peace, the newspaper says: With our experience with these leagues of peace behind us, we should think twice and thrice before throwing over trusted allies in order to put our fortunes to the vote of Guatemala, Hiati, Siam and other nations, large and small, which would compose such a federation. The Daily News, one of the most fa vorable of the newspapers to President Wilson, says editorially that the recep tion of his note was respectful but un compromising. "What had to be said has been said, for the most part in language which America will neither misunderstood nor resent." El Arish Lost by Turks. London El Arish, 90 miles east of the Suez canal, was captured Saturday by the British. The text of the Bri tish official statement says: "Saturday the Egyptian town of El Arish was occupied by our troops after being for two years in the hands of the enemy. From the fact that the enemy had constructed a storng entrenched position covering the town and that a large amount of work recently had been carried out there, it appeared that the enemy had every intention of offer ing a stubborn resistance." Coins Carry New Designs. Denver The Denver mint Monday began turning out the newly designed half-dollar pieces, and for an indefinite period will coin an average of more than 150,000 pieces daily.
