HOW THE FLAX
CONTINUED from page one)

these letters were Of the most flatter-
ing character. On this showing Mr.. Cady
was employed and Mr.. Hansett was Civ
en- the work of getting the contracts for
planting q certain acreage let. This he
did. Mr.. Hansett, some think, was let
out because of politics. Again in JUS
tice to the governor we can state this
was not the case, and that the real rea-
son for his discharge was that he spoke
English brokeniy, was hard to under
stand and did not possess the business
managing abilities the board thought
necessary for the success of the work.
Bought Useless Machinery.
As soon as the flax was planted the
governor who was given practically a
free hand by the balance of the board,
sent Mr.. Cady east with a rowing com
mission to purchase such machinery as
would be needed in preparing the fiber.
Mr.. Cady stayed east so long that the
harvest was delayed, and the flax not
pulled until too late, which caused a
deterioration of the product that made
it of little value. That Mr.. Cady did
not understand the growing or handling
of flax is pretty well proved by the
fact that he did not see that the ground
was properly prepared, did not even
know where the fields were, and by
the kind Of machinery he bought-some
of which is not used at all in the pre-
pairing of fiber, but only in the man
the same-and this machin-
cry lays idle and valueless at the prison.

NURPRISES come tllmbling on top
Of ono another in the way Of war
weddings, and war engagements,
these days; and the latest thrill ere
ated in the younger set, is the an
nouncement Of the marriage of Miss
FLORENCE A. Hofer to Lieutenant Allan
a. Bynon, which took place Sunday
afternoon at Tacoma, just few hours
before Lieutenant Bynon s departure
for Hoboken, from where his company
will sail for France within a short
4ime
Although they have been engaged
for some time, it was not formally an
nounced, and they were married hur-
riedly, without the circumstance which
they would have chosen in times of
peace.
The news Of the marriage was made
known last night when Mrs Bynon
entertained informally in honor of her
house guest Miss Myrtle Albright of
Marquani.
Only small group of the bride =
girl friends were asked to share in the
announcement which was not made
known until the supper hour, when the
guests were given corsage bouquets of

violets, to which were attached tiny
cards bearing the secret.
The bride is the only daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs Ernest Hofer, old and
prominent residents of Salem; and a
sister Of Robert McKinnie Hofer alr,l
Laurence Hofcr, the latter of whom is
at the League Island navy yards in
philadelphia

denburg had chosen the poilus as OPP
ponents for his massed armies-reinforc-
ed by numerous divisions recently trans,
ferred from the Russian front.
Field Marshal Haig's battle front re-
port today gave further emphasis to the
belief that Germany is seeking weak
spot in the western line. He reported
1" south Of the Scarpe and north of the
Lys particularly, unusual aerial and ar.
tillery activity yesterday"
Heavy shelling," at number Of
localities was reported.
East of Epihy he said the enemy
attempted to raid one post under cover
of a heavy bombardment but was re-
pulsed. At other points on the Cambria
front there were patrol encounters in
which British forces dispersed enemy
workers and took prisoners.
The report was in line with the gem
c7al belief here of Germany's prepara-
4 rs f,r a grand offensive. The aer-
i'l octiyity indicated energetic attempts
to secl5 out British positions and dis
petitions cf forces, the artillery showed
preliminary hunting out Of weak spots
and the raids were of the sort which
one side employs constantly prior to an
attack to ascertain what forces oppose
them.

It was these and other things that fin
ally caused the majority of the board
to dispense with Mr.. Cady's services
and to employ Mr.. Crawford. 1t was this
action ON the part of the other members
of the board that disgruntled his excel
lency, the governor, who as he says,
''did not want Crawford" F" and because
he did not, made it as hot for him as
possible, and finally discharged him
after the full control of the prison plant
was turned over to him.
Experts Are Scarce.
What Mr.. Crawford accomplished has
been stated at some lengths and need
not be repeated now. That in brief is
the history of the state flax experiment.
1t is the governor s next move.
He has discharged Mr.. Crawford, an
acknowledged flax expert, and he has
named no one in his place. 1t is doubt
full if he can find another really ex-
pert flax grower in the state. 1t is un-
derstood there win soon be some three
thousand Belgians located in Washing
ton county and It is possible these may
furnish solution of the flax problem as
undoubtedly there are some among them
who were engaged in the industry in
their native country. In the meanwhile
there is no flax man in charge and those
looking after the plant now know just
what Mr.. Crawford has shown them, and
no more. The governor has juggled the
flax plant pretty nearly out of existence
and it remains to be seen whether he
tries to put it again on its. feet or to
continue his selfish and foolish policy
toward it that viii postpone the success
of the plant until 1919 when broader
minded man will be in the executive
chair.
