Salem And The
Big Flax Crop
Fibre Product There Is Shipped to
California Because Capital City
Has No Linen Mill

The work OF harvesting the flax
crop is progressing very rapidly under
the direction of Eugene Rosse, the lax
expert. He reports that by next We'd
nesday the entire flax crop raised In the
vicinity will be hauled In and stored IN
the flax mill. The crop amounts 70
about 40 tons Of choice flax fibre, and
there Is on hands 100 tons Of flax of the
last years crop also In the mill, all of
which Mr.. Bosse expects to manufae-
ture into 1bre before the new crop
comes on. The flax Is now being thresh
ed as rapidly as possible, eight men be-
ing employed on the threshlng machine
which is u specially devised machine,
consisting principally of rollers. Mr..
Bosse intends to continue the thresh-
ing for about two weeks, and in the
meantime he will keep force at, work
spreading the straw for the process Of
rettlng. The flax viii not be all thresh
ed by any means, but the seed keeps
better II not threshed out. and he will
then have all the straw which he can
put through the retiring process before
the wet weather comes on,
The perfect method OF retting is in
vats built for the purpose, as the fibre
then comes out white and is OF finer
texture. commanding much higher
price, But not having the watts MIR.
Rosse is compelled to spread the straw
on the ground and depend on the dew
and light rains. When wet weather
comes on this cannot be done and he
will spend the winter retting tlax at
the Scio flax mill, where there are watts
and drying room. Next spring the
remainder of the flax viii be threshcd
and retted.
In a few days Mr. Bosse will 20 to
Scio. where the work of pulling the
FAX has just been completed and will
commence threshing and spreading
there. The crop at Scio this season
amounts to about 800 tons Of straw. and
there is about so tons OF last years
crop on hand. Next year he expects
to have 2.OoO in flax at scio, as the farm
ers realize the value OF the industry
and the great profit TO be derived from
it, and all are anxious 10 engage in rd!a
ing it. Mr.. Bosse has so far raised the
fax himself but having demonstrated
the practicabiity Of the industry. he
will henceforth devote his attention to
manufacturing the fibre, and will de-
pend upon the farmers to grow the
straw.
He has a contract with a large linen
mill in Oakland, CAL, to take all the
fibre he can produce and unless some
one can be found to invest Sl50.0Oo III a

barrel revolves 50 as to bring every
mart of the image under the ray, which
falls on selenium cell inside the bar

The cell is in circuit with battery,
and the llne-mire, according to its re-
sistance varies with the intensity of the
way the current on the wire varies. The
receiver is a d'Arsonval galvano-meter

under the varying current, moves its
ends nearer TO or farther from metal

The light from the tube varies with

REMoNsTRAToRs SPEAK OUT
westport, ore. August Il, 1903,

westport, Ore. August Il, 1903
To the Editor:
The Weekly Astoria Herald Of August
rs. in regard to the denial by the eoun-
~ court OF liquor license to Mr. John
west Jr.. Of westport makes some as
sertions which bear within themselves
she stamp Of the author and as silence
IN regard to this matter may be con-
stnied as evidence that they are true,
Ne beg to state some facts in connection
with the application and remonstranee
which viii be the other side OF the
story and, we shall coufine ourselves
20 the truth.
Instead OF some clerical gentleman
from Knappa and westport, the ladies'
mothers 81 families living at Westpoft'
circulated the renonstrance, and only
two t2) names were obtained by Rev.
II. r. Hin, the clerical gentleman from
Knappa and Westport,' Perhaps
through a misunderstanding some per-
son conveyed the idea that both saloons
would Be closed now II the renson-
STRANGE would get enough signers, but
NE rather believe the misunderstanding
was on the other side. Some people
thought we have personal grudge
against Mr. West, and we stated that
we would try to do away with both sa-
foons: and probably some one musunder
stood our meaning. Regarding our as
sertion that Mr.. West intended to pur-
chase the Olsen house, and convert it
into a saloon. we did hear rumors TO
that effect, and merely repeated them,
but in only one instance was this used
to obtain a signer, and we were acting
in good faith, believing at that time our
statement 20 be true. We are aware
OF the date when the license of the 9TH
er saloon needs renewal, and We viii do
our best TO get same denied. We are
hiking as hard as before with a re-
nonstrance to Mr.. Vests application,
and it viii come into court with the APP
plieation to be made by Mr.. West at the
October term of the county court, and
although we have hard row to hoe,
We succeed in convincing the people
that the rnisstatements made did not
originate from our side.
We shall use all legitimate means
TO beat the application of Mr. West,
and no personal feeling shall enter into
the matter, but. as mothers of families
trying TO raise children whom we hope
to become useful members of society
we ask the assistance of all true-heart-
ed men in our effort TO remove from
our village anything that may have
detrimental effect on the morals of our
children.
