made one of the leading ones of the
northwest, to learn that ex-Superintend.
ent Crawford of the prison flax plant
is to remain in this neighborhood, and
to continue the cultivating of flax. He
has leased two tracts, one of 81 acres
near Salem and another of III acres
near Stayton. He viii plant both to flax
with the exception of about ten acres of
the Stayton tract which he will plant
t ohemp. He may possibly experiment
with the wild hemp from Klamath Lake,
which is said to make so excellent a
fiber that it can be used in the making
of linens. At any rate Mr.. Crawford will
grow flax as it is grown in Ireland, and
will demonstrate the possibilities of the
crop in the valley. He has been engaged
in flax cultivation and manufacturing
all his life and his forbears were en-
gagged in the business for generations.
He is optimistic, and says the William
ette valley can produce as fine a quail
ity as any country in the world. He is
backing his judgment by putting his
money into it and when his first year s
crop is placed ON the market believes
all doubt as to the vast Importance Of
the crop to the northwest will have
vanished. He says the scarcity of labor
may compel the cutting instead of pull
ing of the flax, and while this reduces
the value for weaving or for fine thread
it does, not interfere. with its use for
making the coarse twines, and up to
the grade of ''seine twine.''

Secondly, an erroneous impression has

Death LIST Is CROWNS.

Truro, N. s., Dec. 10.-Expressing be-
lief that the death list at Halifax may
mount higher than the estimated 1000,
refugees arriving here from Halifax to-
day told of scenes of death in the de-
vastated city.
The Richmond Printing company, a
stone building, collapsed and 80 girls
were buried in the ruins. The Hills
Foundry collapsed, it was stated, and
not an employe escaped.
The Acadia Sugar Refinery ruins still
hold unrecovered bodies and cotton
mills and breweries in the debris of
Dartmouth have yet to be explored.
The miraculous escape of a little six
year old boy was related by survivors.
He was found alive, pinioned in the
wreck of his home, between the bodies
of his father and mother. He had spent
a day and night there, but is recovering.
Another refugee declared a woman
gave birth to child while being taken
to hospital in a cart. The baby lives;
its mother is dead.
Two babes, another refugee stated
were taken from a cradle alive. The
body of their mother was crushed across
the cradle.

GOVERNOR MAY PAY
HIS NAN, LEA, MORE
May So Instruct His His State State Fair | ali
Board at Meeting In Near
Future

1t is quite probable the salary of the
secretary of the state fair board will
be increased at the next meeting of
the board, or at least an increase will
be proposed. When Mr.. Lea was made
secretary the salary was fixed at $4,000
This is what had been paid his prede-
eessors. Soon after his taking office
the salary was raised to $4,000. This
caused considerable criticism and when
the legislature met an attempt was
made to reduce the salary to 81 500 a
year. The bill passed the house in this
shape but in the senate it was amend
ed and the salary again made $4,000.
The governor, who is some worker when
he wants anything, got busy and al
though the senate had adopted the smi-
nority report of the committee to which
the bill was referred and which favor
ed the passage of the bill, defeated it.
This would have fixed the salary at
So 900 and would have taken it out Of
the power of the board to increase it.
The governor did not want this and he
succeeded in bringing enough influence
to bear to defeat the bill and leave the
matter of the salary in the hands of the
board.
The fair has been a financial success
for the past two years. 1t is because
of this the board proposes increasing
Lea 8 salary. At the same time there
are some who object to the making of
the state fair a profit-sharing event,
claiming it should be so conducted as to
meet expenses and necessary improve
ments and no more. They claim it is
an educational Institution not a profit
making one and so there is on this as
on most other questions two sides, and
these pretty well "sot" in their opin-
ions.

Prior to Newlands' conference with

for days that the president would take
