James G. Crawford, director of the
York Street Flax and Spinning Co.,
Limited, of New York, wrote to the
Salem Commercial club this morning
stating that he would be glad to CO.
operate with this body to introduce
the culture of flax around Salem. He
says that the war has demoralized the
flax industry in Europe and that new
fields must be opened and he appeared
particularly anxious that it be tried
out in this country. Mr.. Crawford
said that plant with an output of
one ton of the fibre per day would
cost between 100000 and 100000
and would employ about 26 men and IA
boys to handle it. He inquired about
labor conditions in this vicinity and
the weather here during the curing sea
son of flax. He went on to assure the
club that any additional information
that might be desired would be cheer
fully furnished.

Christmas Tree Fire In

Portland - Eight pupils and two

pupils severely. Friday afternoon at
Irvington school, during Christmas
tree entertainment, when, apparently,
the electric extension wires used on
the tinsel-deeorated stage set fire to
the tinsel on the clothing Of the child
actors and on the tree.
Presence of mind Of the teachers in
charge and Of several women who were
present in the auditorium, as we'll as
the pupils orderly adherence TO fire
drill, averted serious panic.
The school building, which is Mt
East Fourteenth and Thompson streets,
was not damaged, the fire being put
out before it gained any headway in
the assembly-room, where the enter
tainment was held. There were more
than 800 persons in the schoolroom at
the time.
The fire was started in the clothing
Of a member Of the fourth grade b,
when he brushed against one Of the
lights on the Christmas tree. The
child ran wildly among his compan-
ions, and spread the flames to others.
That a panic was averted is due to
the efforts Of the principal, Elmer
Brown, and Miss Ella Williams, teach
er Of the class, and to the mothers
present in the hall.
