shiny paste is formed, but take care it
does not burn. Add one and half
pints of boiling water and let boil
slowly until sirup is formed; then re-
move from the fire and stir every few
minutes until cool. Flavor with vanilla
and suggestion of cinnamon, pour
into preserve jar, seal tight and

to serve add three-quarters of a cupful
Of rich cream and beat with an egg
whip until light Half I'll the glasses
with crushed ice, fill up with the sirup
and top with teaspoonful of whipped
cream.

The Flax Industry.
NV .Inliet N. Lord.l

(By Jullet NJ. LORD.
The following article was written by
Mrs Lord for the Oregon Blue Book.
Mrs. Lord has given great deal of
time to the investigation Of the flax
industry, and is an authority on the
subject:
No fiber flax has been grown in the
state as a crop. Mr.. Jones, of Brooks,
gave me to distribute twenty bushels
of seed, which was all the seed in the
Uuited-states, Judge, from the fact
that the department at Washington
sent some applicants to me saying they
did not know where else it could be
secured. This seed was given in small
lots to farmers for experimental work.
Mr.. Hanley of Burns had the largest
amount, two bushels, and Mr. Macleay
had a like amount to test at Coos Bay.
This is the first year in seventeen
years we have not had flax grown. Mr.
Bosse, however, is in Belgium and
writes that the samples of Oregon
grown fiber he had to show manufae'
turers caused much favorable COM
ment, the quality being superior to any
European fiber and he is offered ten
per cent more than the highest priced
product of either ireland or Belgium.
This would net twenty-five per cent on
an investment for a scutching plant,
such as Mr. Bosse operates. The straw
would average $50 per acre to the far
mer. The Board of Trade Of Falls
City asked my aid in procuring true
fiber seed, so that they could join IN
with the farmers and improve the prod
net, which of course I gave them Mr.
Bosse could secure from 800 to 1000
leading substantial farmers from Bel
gium to come here and settle, would
they have any encouragement
Ny cousin in the Islands, furnished
Mr.. Bosse the money so he could re-
main in Oregon and develop the in
dustry. after he had lost every dollar
he had in the world. Mr.. BOsse is the
leading flax expert of Belgium, and
we owe him great debt. l see the
value of the southern cotton crop IS
placed at $s56,OOO,OOO this year, which
giyes an idea Of what fiber is worth
to the country. Oregon is to the flax
question Just what the South is to the
cotton question, the only difference be-
ing that flax would pay twice as much
in proportion. Four hundred pounds
is fair average Of cotton the acre,
while we can grow from 700 to lOOV
pounds of flax fiber, the best grades
Of which are worth from three to four
times as much as cotton When
Southern Pacific railroad official
showed some Of Mr. Bosses fiber to
the superintendent Of a linen mill in
Minnesota (from Ireland), he said'
GLOW lang have you known you could
grow such fiberi" For ten or fifteen
years. "why," said he, "there is
nothing in linen but what could be
made out of that fiber, it is the best
I ever saw and do tell me what have
your people been doing all these
yearsi" Montana last year grew
100000 acres in linseed flax. The
Board of Trade Of Great Falls wrote
to me for advice and suggestions about
changing to true fiber and some seed
was given to test. True fiber seed
costs us, imported from Belgium, $3.50
bushel. Oregon seed would eventu'
ally bring $500 a bushel in Europe,
the usual price for good seed.

ference between the engineers com mittee@ and himself Bardo said that the engineer said there was no case, which could be shown where a young engt-l neer had made mistake. Bardos had to admit that there was not at that time, but that he wanted some lirnita- tion as the road then had no way but to let the young man demonstrate his own fitness on the big engines.
 "Are you satisfied with the spare run ru1e?r' asked the coroner.
 'I am not,'' replied the general man ager, and have not been from the start as it doese mot give to the man agement the authority they should have. The two-year rule is for the benefit of the public, the men and the railroad because of the wider ex- perfence. Men of two years experience have manifestly. better judgment than men of one years experience
 Are you going to change the-rule now 2'' asked the coroner.
 'sI think SOL was the reply.
 Coroner Phelan then arriving at the wreck Incident asked, Do, you think the inexperience of Doaerty, to which Bardo replied, NO but by bad judg- nent rather than inexperience- There was nothing in connection with the movement or that train that MT. D6- herty did not" know. He was conpe-  per1ence or some cause we do not Know anything about.
 DO you know anything he could have done?'
 'sYes, started to stop sooner
 Assuming that he put on his ap- feet from the home signal, would that not have been prudent?''
 Answer, ''TJo not under the cont1f- tfons. Knowing that there was train ahead of him and that signals might be against him. there was nothing to prevent him slowing down and keep ing his train under complete control when coming within sight or the dis tance signal at Stamford. He had no right to assume that the next was clear. because he knew he must stop
 Bardo then went on to say that there was no question as to DoheFty's competency, but that he erred in tudg- ment The company had hired a mum Der of experts to examine their train, that he believed that report would show the equipment furnished was all right and that the company gave the tools to the workman in perfect condi- ton and that they had to rely upon that workman to complete the work
 Automatic signals and their opera ton was discussed, and at the sugges- ton of the coroner, General Manager Rardo said that after two tests that were soon to be made of automatic signal stops had been completed the company would be willing to put cer- tain of it's tracks at the disposal of inventors who could demonstrate to the road the probable efficiency of their devices before installation was attempted.
 The inquiry was adjourned until ? o'clock Friday afternoon when it was suggested that the operating vice prestdent might be present.

RAILROAD OFFICIALS HIDE BEHIND CONSTITUTION AND
 REFUSE TO GIVE EVIDENCE
Declare Thai Statements Regarding Duties
 Might lncriminate Them

With the principal operating heads Of the New Haven road before him yesterday afternoon, Coroner John J. Phe1an. attempted to secure in, the rec ords evidence, which if the finding on the Stamford wreck was adverse to the railroad might tend to definitely fix the blame upon a responsible off, .ncia1
 The first effectual check to the pro- ed when all of the railroad officials declined to ciroumscribe their power and authority upon the advice of counsel and the plea that it might tend to incriminate them in the West portsWreck trial under which they now stood indicted. Those who thus sought refuge were O. L. Bardo Gen. eral Manager of the New Haven and Central NHw England railroads, c. N. Woodward. General Superintendent of the New Haven. and J. A Droege, su- perintendent of the Shore Line division Of the New Haven road.
 Little testimony of material value in the investigation was secured from either Woodward or Droege who were vfSib1y upon the defensive and to whose rescue railroad counsel J. F. Berry continually came with the plea that either the evidence sought was
 such as would come under sh1s
 recommendat to, refuse or could be answered more fittingly by the general
 manager.
 Woodward admitted that he had
 signed the agreement with the Broth ,erhood of Railroad Engineers consent
 ing to the one year experience clause. Personally, he said, he felt that long
 CT period of experience would have been better. Asked if the engineeES' conrnd ttee had induced or forced the railroad to sign the agreement, he ad-
 n1itted he did not Rnow as he had not
 been present at the meeting. He fur ther testified that he had accepte ed
 the acqufesenoe of his superiors as good Judgment and that he believed it was as good as could then be secured from the engineers.
 J. A. Droege, questioned as to the ''Sky1ark's'' copetruction said it had 1 a wooden eunderframe. He was unable to state with accuracy what would l have been the effect of the wreck i'm pact upon car of steel except by guess. He had not read Of 8 similar | telescoping though 1t was his fmpres- | sion that wooden cars ahead would re- receive the impetus through transmits
 sion. Steel cars he finally admitted
 under close questioning wouhd prob ably be stronger" but not superior in his own estimation. He thought the policy of the company in getting steel
 cars was the proper one as public opinion demanded that class of vehicle and it was advisable to cater to public | opinion.
 As to the location of distance signal at Stamford and generally the witness indicated that speed and weight Of a train did not determine their position, | but that physical conditions such as curves and grade influenced their es- tablishnent- He believed that no sig

 After spending six days in jail for having been arrested as frequenters at the Arlington Hotel, the cases of Theodore Hoyt and Edward McGee, two young men of tlae West Side who were unable to procure a lawyer, were this morning reopened through the efforts of Liquor Prosecutor Merritt. It was shown by the evidence pre- sented that the pair had sought a bed in the hotel, having arrived in a tired condition from New Haven late at night Both were discharged with a recommendation that they seek other quarters on future occasions.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-06-24

nal WAS necessary where all trains
 stopped though he failed to admit that they were therefore useless at StaIn- ford
 An effort was made by the coroner to determine what changes in speeds and signals had been made during the past fifteen years. but the witness was unable to furnish such figures from memory and promised later to submit them to the examining official.
 c. IA Bardo, was the last witness called. He prefaced his testimony by stating that he was general manager of both the INew HkVen and c. N E. roads, His absolute power and duties he refused to answer upon advice of counsel but stated that as far as pur- chasing and distrib ution of equipment went his was purely reconmendatory. his 6ubordlnateS. Alterations in track age etc. could be made only by the maintenance of way department and then should be approved by the execu- tives. The purchase of engines in his belief, could only. be approved by the road and probably also by the board of directors There were no set linn itations to the general management of railroads, custom dictatdng the prac- tfceS. In the event of power being ex- ceeded objections would be raised by those above.
 All purchases of whatsoever nature were made by the manager Of pur- chases in Boston. At the request of
 the coroner he will be invited to at tend the next hearing. As to the movement of trains, their makeup. equipment etc, the general manager was supreme, with the exception Of a Vice-president to whom i1e-was respon- sfble.
 Again reverting to the engineers agreement the coroner inquired why experience for locomotive engineers. Because I wanted to be certain that
 the operation of the railroad would, in my best Judgment, be suitably and satisfactorily safeguarded from the
 standpoint of experienced engineers g Asked if he had ever been engineer
 he said: 'tNo. but I have driven thou
 sands of miles,
 Returning to the former question Coroner Phelan asked him, Why did you not insist?''
 Primarily because did not wish to disturb the peace of mind of the engineers at that tfne.'' Did you believe you were doing 1 right in doing what you believed was l jeopardizing public safety, because they would be disturbed.
 q did not believe I was Jeopardizing public safety replied Bardo. If you did not believe you were | jeopardizing public safety why did you
 want the longer period of experience. Answer: s'I did not think 1t fair to put | a young man on one of those engines with a fast train. It was the young
 engineer had in mind more than any
 thing else"
