Before coming TO oregon my parents.
Mr.. and Mrs Thomas owens. lived
In section Of Kentucky wnere fax
was extensively and probably grown.
and my mother there learned all about
the culture and preparation OF fax
for market. She brought with her
across the Plains a small quantity
OF fiax seed. My father brought his
wife and three children TO Oregon
with the immigration OF ls43. and made
his first western home on Clatsop
plains. upon the present Carnahan
farm. arriving there in December. 1915.
In the spring OF 1874 mother planted
her little handful OF haxseed. and
very carefully cared for II until she
was able to reap a large yield. She
frequently has said that she raised
better crops OF fax on the Clatsop
farm than she ever saw grow before
she very carefully saved every single
seed from this first crop. obtaining
about one quart She tied the fax In
bundles and placed them in a small
lake close TO her house. IN order that
they might undergo the rotting process.
She then. with the aid OF such rude
tools as father was able 20 make, pre-
pared the fiber for use. Fortunately.
she found a carpenter who was able %
make for her a spinning wheel from
her description. he never having seen

in Oregon. Other pioneer women We're

thread out OF elk skins, The elk were
killed and the hides prepared. tannei
and pressed by father and the shoes
were made by one Samuel Halt.
Mrs. Owens continued rom year to
year to carefully preserve and paint
her fax seed until she was able TO dn
quite a profitable business In supplying
the Indians with flax for use in max
ing their fish nets. The Indians were
amazed at the superiority OF thread
made from fax over the twine they
had been accustomed 10 make and
use from cedar bark They eagerly
bought flax from Mrs. owens for sew
eral years. taking all they could get.
The discovery OF gold. however. created
great changes in the conditions OF Or

hands freely from various sources. and
the cultivation of flaN in old Clatsop
was abandoned Enough, though, had
been accomplished to demonstrate the
adaptability of our soil and cflmste

The Ellis Island Fire.

Nobody will be in the least surprised at
the disaster on Ellis Island. 1t was fore
ordained. The only wonder was that it
did NOT happen long ago..
The himsy structure which was built
there for the housing and management
of the immigrants was a product of
mingled stupidity and jobbery. There was
a beam or a rafter in it that was
fit for its purpose. The only wonder and
mercy Of the thing is that there was not
a wholesale sacrifice of life in the destruc-
ton Of the pile.
The Government spent 5000. 900 on the
building. 1t took just fifty minutes to re-
duce 1t to ashes. Over two hundred poor
people lose practically all they brought
with them to found their fortunes in the
New World. in the ruins They may be
thankful that their lives were spared.
1t is a crime to erect any but freproof
buildings for the housing of large num-
bers of people. The building avs Of
New York would nave made the danger
trap impossible on Manhattan Island.
But Uncle Sans beggarly onomy and
the reckless jobbery of his employees took
advantage of a mile or so of shallow
water to perpetrate this outrage within
Eight of the great city.
1t is to be hoped hat the buildings
which replace the burned ones will be of
something more lasting than wood and
