Mr.. Starting is not in the market for
the flax used in his plant as he grows
most OF the raw product on his own
farms or contracts for it from growers
who will grow it according to his re-
quirements
Mr.. Starting does not require the
long fibre flax for the manufacture
of his products but he says that the
samples that have been sent to him of
Oregon flax show tnat the flax pro-
dueed in this state has a greater per
centagc Of fibre than that grown is
New York and other flax growing cen
ters. He does not discourage the pro
duction Of long fibre flax though he
says that the finest quality linen can
not be produced profitably on the Pa.
cific coast on account of the scareiN OF
skilled workmen who are found in Bel
ginm and in Ireland. The fine quail
ty flax fibre such as is produced at
the state pen plant, he says brings a
fancy price in the market but there
is also considerable fiuctuation in the
market for the fibre and stable price
cannot be assured. However there are
so many by products that can be sold
at profit and so many uses to which
these by products can be put that the
future of the flax industry in this vi

"There should be flax mill on ev-

J. Sidney Startling, Of Tonawanda, New
York, today after looking over the sam.
pies of flax grown in the vicinity of
Salem in Polk and Marion counties.
Mr.. Startling is president of a large flax
manufacturing plant in the east and
gave u talk yesterday morning on the
industry in this state. He says that the
water of the rivers in western Oregon
is suitable for retting flax without any
change of the temperature and their
freedom from alkaline deposits makes
this valley an ideal location for flax

By standardizing the seed and care

is grown Mr.. Startling is of the opinion
that the best quality of flax in the
country can be grown right here at
home. The cooperation Of the growers
to produce the best results, he says,
will 60 a long way toward placing the
industry in this valley upon n sound
basis and flax culture should become
one of the most successful and profit
able industries in the state.
Mr.. Starting says that binder twine
can be manufactured from the flax
grown in this valley more cheaply and
better than the MANILA and Iueatan
fibers which are now used exclusively
in the manufacture OF the twine used
in this country.

FAIR TO REMAIN
OPEN ON SUNDAY
SACRED CONCERT
Governors Of Washington and
Idaho Take In Big
Show Today
EDITORS GET INNINGS
MANUFACTURERS TOO
Efforts Being Made to Have
Madam Schumann-Heinke
Sing Here

For the first time in the history of u
state fair in the Northwest the Oregon
state fair will be kept open on the Sun
day following fair week. This morning
the board of fair directors decided to
yield to the requests of the various or
ganizations of the sta;e that had petit
toned for an additional fair day and
all of the paviions will be open to
the public next Sunday. There will be
no race program in the afternoon but
sacred concert will be held in the
horse show tent which will seat 10000
people when seats are placed in the show
ring.
Efforts are being made by the secre-
tary of the fair, A. H. Lea, to secure the
services of Madam Schuman-Heinke as
special attraction at the concert.
Madam Schumau- Heinke is now at Mt.
Angel and the wires are being burned
to induce the renowned singer to ap-
pear at the Sunday concert. All of the
side show concessions terminate their
contracts Saturday night and none will
be allowed to open up on Sunday with
the exception of few refreshmeht
stands and possibly some of the Ferris
wheels and the merry-go-round. At any
rate there is no possibility that the
blatant tones of the ballyhoo man will
blend with the voices of the artists who
will be secured for the concert.
The Portland Chamber of Commerce,
the Portland Bankers association and
the officials of the railroads Of the state
! Joined in a petition which was present
ed to the board today asking that the
fair be kept open Sunday. The petition
stated that numerous employees were un-
able to attend the fair during the week
on account of the increased patronage
during the fair week and that those who
were obliged to work all during fair
week should be given chance to visit
the fair on Sunday when all OF the
exhibits and other attractions were in
place. The price of admission will be
25 cents.
Today was Governors day at the
state fair and the governors of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho were visitors as
the guests of the fair board. The ed
4 itors of the state, the manufacturers
and Scandinavians each had their in
nings today and special events were ar
ranged ON the program of interest to all
fair visitors.
The attendance yesterday fell slightly
below Wednesday which was Salem day
but today's attendance promised to
equal that of yesterday and a good
crowd is expected for tomorrow when
will be Farmers day.
At the grandstand this afternoon the
o. A. c. glee club was heard in special
selections with the official fair band.
