Stohr a Convert to Flax Doc trine of Eugene Bos. Kalein 3. C. Btobr, of Chicago, aaai.tant traffic director of the liarri- man line, accompanied by General reight Agent K. II. Miller, of the O. AN.; (ieneral Passenger Agent W. Coman, of the Southern Pacific, and K. Iunabury, traveling freight nd passenger agent of th latter com pany, were here lasi wee 10 mane in- nine, into the practicability oi trie entahliHhment of a linen mill here, and held a conference with Kugene Bosse, the flax expert, and Mr.. W . P. ord, a flax enthusiast, in the reception room ol llie Hinaineiie noiei. a. a result of the conference MrJStohr .Ute. lat he is convinced that a quality oi fibre that rannoi he excel led any place se in th) world can tie grown in tin. vallev. and that everything from the coarsest of twine, and cordages, crash, etc., to the very lineal lineii and lace, can be manufactured from it. He i. also aa.ured by Mr. Iiosae that ith the aid of a new fl iz pulling mi lling which is now in course of perfec tion and completion the raw material an lie produced outte as cheap, ll not heatier. than in the foreign counirie., ud that the finished product could ie laced upon the market at such prices iat the foreiun or eastern mills could not comimte with. Mr. Stohr collected a great amount of reliable data concerning the industry hile here, and will carry it hack to Chicago with him to make his report. He would not slate what particular action the llarriman system proposed lt take toward promoting the develop ment of the industry, but he say if the project looks feasible to the man agement it will exert lis innuence toward interesting Kastern capital to invest in the enterprise. WANT SALARIES BY WARRANT State Employes Dislike Certificate of Allowance Salem At a meeting held last week the state employes decided to levy an assessment upon themselves to raise fund to defray the expense ol hiring an attorney to test the question whether it the duty of the secretary of state to issue salary warrant on the first of each month. The assessment levied was at the rate of 2 pel cent on the monthly salary. John A. Carson was employed to con net the mandamus proceedings, which will proliably be commenced this week after the monthly payroll ha. been pre sented to the secretary of state and he as refused to issue a warrant. Secretary of State Punbar take, tlie mieition that it is his duty to proceed under the general law and issue certifi- ates of allowance for the reason that no annropriation is available. The employes contend mat under me Kay law, paeseil by the last legislature, t is the dutv of the secretary ol stale to issue warrants lor salary claims, even though there lie no appropriation available. The difference to the em ii loves is that if they receive certificates of allowance they timet discount them at 10 er cent. A warrant would be worth it face value. Sumpter Valley Extension to Begin. . Sunioter A working crew haa gone out over the Sumpter Valley railway bound for the fiont. Work ha. been started on the extension from Tipton and will be pnsled with all possible need until Austin station ha been reached. It is reported mai mis the objective point of the road this season, and that the company will be satisfied with this much of an exten sion for the present. The large force of men being put to work leads to the impression that if it is possible the road will be extended fuither. Threshers to Meet. Albany Linn county operators of threshing machines have announced meeting to be held at Shedds on Satur day.

Both owner ol Harvesters and farmer irenerally are invited to at tend this meeting. Such meetings have become annual affairs in Linn county the result being uuifoim price, and wages throughout the county. Continued Rain Helps Crops. La Grande The continued rains of the past week have been of great bene- fit to growing crop, ana gram ami grasses have never been better than at the nresent time, farmers are jub: lant over the prospect of abundant crop, and fruitgrower, are also rejoic ing at the improved condition- ot tneir orchards, aa the damage by late frosts i. not nearly as bad as at first reported. Census Returns Coming In. Pendleton Assessor Strain has re ceived part of the return from the state census being taken in tins county and report that Milton city ha 990 people and Freewater between 300 and 315. The North Milton precinct, in which Freewater is locate!, has 1,500 inhabitants, being one of the most thickly settled in the county. Fewer Hops This Year. Salem President Conrad Krebs, of the Hopholders' Protective association, ha. issued a circular letter saying that reliables dvices from New York and California growers are that the 1905 hop crop in those states will be smaller than last year. 'PROMISE. BIG POOL. Conrad Kreb Declare Project for Big Combine Will Win. Salem Although a week hs not passed since the issuance of the circu lar letter to tbe hopgrowers of the Pa- ific coast, New York and r.ngland, by the firm of Krebs liros., of this city, proposing the organization of a gigantic hop pool or corporation, President Con rad Krebs, ot the firm, say. he ha. re vived replies from almost every hop- growing section of this state, and tbat all spoke favorably of the proposition and pledged their hearty support. He ias already received promises aggre gating 25,000 bale, of the 100S crop ol hop. So far letters have been received rom growers in the districts -of Forest .rove Woodburn, uayuni, corvanis, Kugene, Amity, Oregon, and Cowlitz, Washington, while verbal assurances ol support have lieen received from the grower, of the Independence, Uallas, Champoeg, St. Paul, Aurora, Brook, district and Washington and Yi ru'iill counties. "I feel much encouraged over the outlook," said Mr. Krebs, "and I think there is no question that the move will win. The letter. I have re ceived are from the principal grower. and represent the bunness element of the industry, and when they recognize the feasibility and practicability ol tl scheme it only remains for other, to fall into line and the thing i. done We shall probably wait two weeks to hear from all over the coast and east before any steps are taken to call a meeting, but I now feel quite certain that it will be called." BIG STRIKE IN OPP MINE. Sack of Or are Taken Out Worth $20,000 a Ton. Medford When tbe first big strike was made in the Opp mine, two week. ago, many people expressed opinions that it was a bunch and that the vein would pinch out, as so many other veins have done in Southern Oregon. Kvents have proved, however, that if it is a tjunch it is the biggest, richest and most extensive ever found on the Pacific coast. Last week a second strike, somewhat smaller than the first one, was made, and a body of ore richer and larger than both other, has just been uncovered, proving conclusively that the Opp mine is one of llie most prom ising quarts gold mines ever discovered on the coast. Besides this extremely rich ore, they are taking out large quantiti of high grade free milling ore, and the width and depth of the vein increases. The first strike amounted to .0 sacks ot ore that was almost pure gold ; the second one consisted of five sacks of an esti mated value of $1,500; the third one, the ore of which is considered richer than either of the other two, consisted of 40 sacks, already taken out, and there remains an unknown quantity of ore .till in sight. This would make the three strikes aggregate a value of over 120.000. Hon. H. K. Ankeny has visited the mine and while there offered $1,200 for three pieces of ore weighing altogether 110 ounce. The offer was refused. At this price the ore would be worth $133 a pound, or $230,000 per ton. June 14 a Salem Holiday.
