Is an Authority on Flax, Who
Put Up His Money and
Was Two Times
Burned Out.
He HAS CHAPERONES
DAVE GELWICK AND FRED HAAS
ACCOMPANY HIM, BUT HOW
MUCH IT WILL PROTECT HIS
REPUTATION REMAINS TO BE
SEEN.

Mr.. Eugene Bosse, genial gentle
man. pioneer fax grower and all
round optimist left this morning for
his old home in Europe. He is one
OF the men who has made history in
Oregon, instead of making money.
He has demonstrated, at his own ex-
pense, that the raising of fax in
Oregon, is eventually bound to be
one of her most profitable industries.
He has burned out twice, after try
sfAg to open up the flax industry
here, but he is not yet discouraged,
and will eventually be rewarded for
his faith in winning out.
Dave Gelwick, of Eugene Ecker
lens, and Frank Haas, of the War
rem Johns harness shop, could not
bear to see him go alone, and they
took layoff and went along as
chaperones. OF course, it is a lit
tie tough on Bosse to have that kind
of chaperones, but 1t isn't the first
time innocence has been managed by
experience. They will visit Bel
gium, where the Salem chaperones
will introduce Bosse to the Belgian
hares. Then they will visit Holland,
where, Bosse, being interested in
flax, cotton, ETC., will introduced TO
the Holland Gin. What the boys
will do with him when they get him
up against the French ideas and the
German brew, heaven only knows.
We hope, however, to see our old
friend back in his usual genial good
shape, and that his chaperones will
not need immediate assassination on
their return.

sistance and the captain with nearly
all his crew then boarded the cap
tured vessel and took possession of it.
The victory was accomplished so easy
that a celebration was held and din
ner was served on the smugglers'
boat. There were good things to eat
and no lack of wine.
After dinner, the willy smugglers
captured their captors, one and all,
the captain included, and after bind
ing them, set them adrift in small
boats. Then the smugglers boarded
the man-of-war and scuttled her. The
Tatumbla later was met by the fruit
steamer Harold, which towed her to-
ward shore, but she sank before shal.
low water could be reached. The crew
of the gunboat nearl yall succeeded
in reaching shore, it is said, in the
small boats.

SALEM TO HAVE
A GREAT HOTEL

Salem has had bad reputation as
hotel town ever since Cain asked
where he should go. II is different
now--for listen to this.
"Mr. Knighton & Root, of Port
land. are the architects employed by
the Capital Investment Co., of this
city, to draw plans for the remodel
ing OF the Willametet Hotel, fron
basement to garret, including
complete system of modern plumb
ing and electric wiring. There win
be a new front entrance on Com
mercia street, and the billiard and
sample room will be put I'm the base
ment. The two store rooms now oc-
coupled by Wells Fargo and the biz
lard room will also De remodeled.
The room now occupied by the
Portland Railway, Light & Power
Co. will be equipped for a modern
garage, to be occupied by local
firm. There will be approximately
100 rooms in the new hotel, about
25 of which will be equipped with
private bath and telephone. There
will also be two public baths on each
floor. A modern grill viii be oper-
ated in connection with the hotel. II
Is the intention OF the STOCKHOLDERS

a frst-class hotel. The estimated
cost by the architect is $500 e

he had forgotten his slippers, and
when he hit his left toe against the

apart until he hit his nose against
the open door he did not know where
he was. Anyway, he found that the

A valuable bulldog, belonging to
Mr.. and Mrs. Wheeler, of Gladstone,
left the Wheeler home for a few
hours one day last week, and when
it returned the dog was found to have
been saturated with coal oil and then
set afire. The poor animal was suf-
fering excruciating pain. Mrs. Wheel
er, who was very sick, and whose hus-

Humane society as soon as she was
able and Officer Bradley went to

Pittsburg, Penn, A party of thirty
left Portland and went through with
out stopping, but coming home they
did some visiting on the way. They
stopped at the old college of Bethany,
West Virginia, founded by Alexander
Campbell, who, with his father,
Thomas Campbell, were the origina-
tors of this branch of evangelical
christianity. And it was the cen-
tennial of the original organization
of the first church at Pittsburg that
was celebrated at the city of the iron
kings.
The sessions lasted eleven days and
it is estimated that over $4,000 peo.
pie attended. There were 5000
preachers of this denomination pres
ent and all the foreign fields of this
denomination were represented.
There were six conventions in con-
tinuous session at the same time as
no one hall in the city would contain
such vast congregation. The prin-
cipal meetings were held at Carnegie
hall, and there were always more
people on the outside than got in.
The great communion service held
on Sunday was attended by 10000
people, and was held at Forbes field
baseball park, which has the greatest
seating capacity of any grandstand
on earth. 1t took a photo five yards
long to hold the crowd.
Dedicated the Oregon.
The occasion was notable for the
dedication of themission ship Oregon
costing $4,000, most of which was
raised in Oregon The vessel was on
the stocks in the shipyards and has
since been launched. Rev. Erritt de-
livered the first and principal address
on this occasion.
This steamer will carry the gospel
to the Congo country and will be used
for no other purpose but the extern
sion of the work of this denomination
on the west coast of Africa. Naming
the steamer Oregon and raising the
money here and selection of an Ore
gon man to dedicate the ship was a
golden opportunity to lot of good
boosting for this state. Rev. Erritt
had with him large bundle of Salem
literature and thousands were distri-
buted with people interested in Ore
gon. He found Oregon had the call
and more peopel are talking of COM
ing this way than to all the rest of
the country in the west.
Coming to Oregon.
At the appropriate moment the
Oregon delegation sprung holding the
next national conference of the
Christian church at Portland, and
would have carried but there was
moral obligation to go to Topeka.
Kansas, in 1910, but the great CEN
tennial gathering voted unanimously
to come to Oregon in 1911.
Rev Erritt also visited at the home
of Mrs. Erritt's parents in Omaha,
where he was treated very well, ev-
erything considered. When he court.
ed Mrs. Brritt he was newspaper
man from Missouri, and things were
rather against him on the face of the
returns. But newspaper men are
attractive to the ladies on account OF
the glamor Of their profession and
that enabled him to win out.
Rev Erritt enters upon the sew
enth year OF his ministry this month
and will preach to his people Sunday
morning and evening.

make what would be an offer consistent
With individual interests. The Sec

urgent necessity of utilizing the power,
which has been wasted from the time
of the COMPLETE n of the Truckee
canal to the present, has caused
the edict to go forth that he will
not refuse to approve and sign any
reasonable form of contract that may
