E. Baker of Memphis, have a large
force of miners at work developing
the Buck Hollow property in Sec
35, 20, Is. This property lies di-
rectly on the zone of the Ozark Min
ing District and promises at this
date surprising revelation in the
wealth Of minerals that lie buried
along this well defined mineral lead
The Buck Hollow was long a ia
vorite of our own DeMahler as well
as DIR. Branner The work on this
property consists of openings along
the carbonate beds near the upper
runs; some very ilattering prospects
of disseminated ores along the water
level is evidence that good bodies of
ruby Jack lie beneath the surface on

FLAX MILL FOR SALEM.
Third Attempt to Keep Linen Indus
try Alive in Oregon.

Eugene Bosse, the indomitable flax
mill man of Salem, after having had
two flax or linen mills burned there,
will make another attempt to start.
The Salem Jorunal says:
It can be stated on first-class au-
thority that 1t is practically certain
a linen mill will be established in Sa-
lem or this section of the Willame tie
valley within the next year or IS
months.s Further than this the plant
will be financed by the firm Of Morel
& Verbeke and other financial inter-
ests of Ghent, Belgium, whose spe-
cial agent, George Verbeke, nephew
Of the members of the above men,
toned firm of the same name, made
personal investigation of the posi-
bilities of the soil and climate as to
their adaptability for producing a
high grade of flax and the feasibility
of establishing a linen mill here.
I'm order to establish the linen
manufacturing industry upon a sound
foundation and to make It certain of
success" said Mr.. Bosse yesterday, in
discussing the subject, at will be nec-
essary to erect a mill OF at least one
ton of fibre per day capacity, which
will be capable of turning out $500
yards of coarse and $500 yards of
medium grade of crash, the quality
and value of which product will be
increased materially with the mix
ture OF raw flax fibre. The total cost
Of such a plant. including five fibre
mills to permanently supply the linen
mill. ready to operate and with suf-
ficient capital left to operate on will
be $4,000, and. with an addition of
100000 the producing capacity can
be doubled.
There is no more expense nor la
Dor attached to the cultivation of flax
than there is to wheat and farmers
can easily realize from SIS to $50 per
acre, and better according to loca-
tion.
1.-The total cost per day of operat-
ing the plant, including wages, re-
pairs. oil and fuel, will not exceed
1885, and the value of the days pro-
duct, estimated upon the basis of the
lowest grade fabric, which is a mix
ture of cotton and flax and actually
sold for crash linen, to be conserva-
tive, would be at least $50, leaving
net profit of s125 per day or s per
cent interest on the capital invested,
which, at the end of 20 years, would
redeem s107,125 Of the principal"

RAILROAD SIDE
OF CAR SHORTAGE
SHIPPERS HOLD CARS
BEFORE UNLOADING.
Over 100 Cars OF Merchandise Now
Standing in Portland Yards Waiting
to Be nloaded-Merchants Would
Rather Pay Nominal Demurrage
Charges Than to Handle Goods
Twice.

While car shortage is attracting al
most universal attention, and is on
the whole inexcusable, the people who
are finding the fault, can undoubt-
edly do much towards relieving the
situation somewhat. The following
statement taken from Saturdays Ore
gonian, contains some suggestive
points, and presents some of the
shippers shortcomings. The article
says:
Serious congestion of freight in
Portland terminals seem imminent
Over 100 cars stand in the yards,
while hundreds more are awaiting
their turn to be unloaded. These are
lined up on sidings along the North
ern Pacific tracks between Portland
and Goble and the east side yards of
the allied Hartman lines. Probably
never before in the history of the city
have the Northern Pacific Terminal
company's tracks been so blocked.
Unless some expedition is used by
jobbers in unloading cars consigned
to them, there is likely to be a freight
blockade in Portland. Yesterday 102
cars were placed on the team tracks
at the depot for unloading but of
this number only 25 were relieved of
their loads. The condition In the
yards is becoming serious and meas
ures OF relief must soon he adopted.
It is said to be the habit OF con-
signees, who are not inclined to stack
up freight in the receiving part OF
their warehouses. to take a few truck
loads from car OF merchandise and
leave the car standing in the yards
until more Of its load is needed. Trans
fer companies are directed to follow
this method in unloading cars for
their customers, and slow dispatch
for cars is the result.
After n car stands in the terminal
yards 4S hours, demurrage at the
rate OF 81 per day is collected, but
jobbers seem to prefer to pay this
nominal charge than store their
goods Immediately and release the
cars. Numbers Of cars, partly filled
with merchandise, are standing in the
local terminal yards.
The present situation is one that
is embarrassing to the railroads and
TO the management of the terminals.
The delay in releasing cars aggravates
the car shortage and traffic men say
the blame for this feature OF the car
famine cannot be laid at the door OF
the railroads. The unusually large
business being done by all railroads
centering in Portland is largely re-
sponsble for the present conditions,
but the blockade is added to the rush
OF traffic following the resumption of
business by the Northern Pacific af-
ter the recent floods. A large Christ
mas business is being done in Vhe city
and all these things have combined
to choke the terminals.

IS IT A CONSPIRACY?
ARE THE RAILROADS PITTED
AGAINST THE PEOPLE.
Many Circumstances In the Coal and
Car Shortage Lead Observers to Be-
liece That There is an Object In the
Fuel Shortage-Seattle News Cites
an Illustradon-Coal Could Not Be
Secured for Kititas County at Any
Price.

Is there a we'll defined and under
stood plan to punish the people for
their agitation for more railroads and
for better regulation of present COM
panies, in the car and fuel shortage
Of the past three months?
Observant citizens in every western
state are now asking themselves this
question. Circumstances that would
lead to such belief are encountered
in too many localities and the reasons
for the shortage of fuel in many
places are not to be explained on any
other ground.
The Seattle News gives the follow
ing account of a case in Washington
which will call for federal investiga-
ton.
That a conspiracy exists here to
prevent the sale of coal to the people
for some ulterior purpose is evident,
so evident that It is now the duty of
the commercial bodies to call the mat
ter to '''c attention of the president
in ordor :'at an investigation may be
made by representatives of the fed
eral government.
On Thursday last young man from
Kittitas county came over to this side
of the mountains in behalf of the
people of that county to see why it
was that they could not get coal.
For days trainload after trainload
of coal had been going east over the
Northern Pacific railroad but the citi-
zens of Kittitas county could not get
one ton of 1t. Finally this man was
sent over to see IL he could arrange
with some of the mines for coal.
He first applied to the leading coal
mine in Pierce county, and was told
that they could not supply him be-
cause they could not get cars.
Then he asked II they would fur
nish him a number of cars of coal If
he would secure the cars himself, and
to this proposition they answered no.
Offers of increased price were like
wise refused, no reason being given,
however, as to why they would not
supply the coal.
Efforts were likewise made in this
county to secure coal from some OF
the mines, but the same result In
each and every case. This man Is
ready to lay his information before
any federal officer sent here by the
government to investigate the subject,
or he would furnish 1t to the attorney
general of the state II that official
will demonstrate in good faith that
he desires to push an investigation to
be followed by prosecution of the rail-
road and coal companies engaged in
the conspiracy to deprive the people
of fuel.
