THE warning against secret societies
promulgated at the Indiana yearly meet

DR.. Thornton Outlines a Plan
of Operation.
TO USE PUGET SOUND PRODUCT
4 Proposition Laid Before the Cham
ber-Mili for Puget sound Grain
New Cracker Factory.

Dr. A ". Thornton. special agent. United
States department Of agriculture. present.
ed MS proposition for the establishment
OF a flax scutching mill on Puget sound
70 the Chamber Of Commerce commlttee
yesterday. He submitted hax grown on
the Sound for examination and the commit
tee was greatly pleased with its appearance
DR. Thornton proposes 10 form a company
under the name OF The Puget Sound Flax
Fiber Company. with a capital OF S4e,Uoo 70
be divided in 1000 shares. he estimates
the cost of constructing the plant az
81 500. and the annual current expenses az
81. 800. making a total outlay Tor the hrse
year of 5000 The net profit for that eX-
penditure is placed at $3l.25o for the first
year. DR. Thornton, in his proposition,
said in support of his plan:
'sThe WELD OF fax straw on Puget sound
ranges from two 10 four tons ana htteen
to twenty bushels Of fax seed per acre.
Fine hacked flax is worth in the Boston
market all the way from 1870 to $500 per
ton. according to quality, the average grade
being S50o per ton, and scutehed max from
$3.50 10 $500 per ton.
The Eastern fax mills have ~ import
all their fax, while here II would re pro
duced at less cost. The fax crops OF Eu-
rope have been detsriorating for seVersd
years and manufacturers have been makihs
inquiries of the department OF agriculture
as to what has been done toward the devel-
opment OF the fiber industry on Puget
sound. in order TO find a new source or
supply. That the worlds present supply IS
inadequate is seen from the fact that Great
Britain imports $4,000 tons Of fax annually.
more than she can produce herself, and
Germany imports $1,000 tons.
"A good working plant with capacity
of 000 tons per annum of fax straw and
facilities for charging to any extent re-
quired may he established for $4,000. upon
a fully paid up cash basis.
In confederation Of the figures gwen, DR..
Thornton submitted a file Of correspond

1t was resolved by the committee that

WHY san Franciscans started the Co
real Mill-The Wheat Market.

T. j. Parsons. president of the Del
Monte Milling Company, San Francisco,
is in the city on his way home from a
business trip east Of the mountains. Mr..
Parsons is a prominent stakeholder III the
new cereal mills that are being erected
here. and said in regard 10 the enterprise:
Our firm has bought grain here and
shipped ii back m!lled, and naturally
thought that by having a mill here freights
both ways would be saved From what I
have seen, too, during my trip through
the state. business prosperity is returning.
As TO Seattle, we have confidence IN its
growth. and as population increases there
will be a ready home market for the
product Of the cereal mill Seattle. too, IS
the center of a vast grain producing DIS
trct, as well as the center of large pop
ulation of consumers
When asked his opinion OF the present
state Of the wheat market, Mr.. Parsons
shook his head and smiled. 1T seems to
me almost impossible he said, Ito give
you anything definite as 10 the wheat
market We think 1t is a good. healthy
market. and that dealers run little risk OF
losing money by purchasing We do not
see any reason why the farmers should
hold back their wheat for higher prices.
The demand should he met"
But as the demand grows, the price
must 90 up?" was hazarded
No l do not think that follows. If the
farmers ana dealers or TINS part OF the
country hold back their wheat, we shall
get ii from other portions of the country.
OF course IL all combined. the millers
would he compelled to False the price. Ex
porters. however. would not They have
to base their prices on the foreign market,
and they are now paying more than the
foreign market viii allow them to pay and
make a profit.
Il have just got in from the eastern
portion Of the state. and find general
feeling all along the line among the farm
ers 10 hold as long as they possibly can.
1t is natural. because present prices are
only just about what it costs TO raise the
grain They realize that they cannot get
much less and think they may get more"
But you 40 not. Mr.. Farsons?'
We'll / DO not see any chance Of it's
going up for some time, because of the
large visible supply. The receipts at East
ern points are much larger than last year,
and in that division of the country they
are meeting the demands Of the millers
No. There does not seem 10 be any rea-
son why there should be an advance. on
the contrary. there IS a feeling that the
price is a little too high. and in conse-
quence the market has been shading off a
little recently"
