NAME TICKET TODAY Marion County Republicans Will Gather at Salem. GEER MEN WILL BE IN CONTROL Convention Will Be an Exciting? Ohc, bnt No Bitterness Is Expected ia Contest PresaBle Legislative Tieralnces. SALEM, Or., March 25. The Marlon County Republican convention "will meet In the armory In the City Hall tomorrow at 10 o'clock A. M. The meetlnsr will be called to order by County Chairman Frank T. Wrlghtman, and if present ar rangements jjrevall, Lot L. Pearce -will be elected temporary and permanent chair man. So far as can be learned, no secre tary has been agreed Upon. The conven tion will be in the control of the friends of Governor Geer. While in many re spects it will be one of the most exciting in the history of the Republican party in this county. It s believed there will be no bitterness in the contests. No legislative slate has been unalterably made, but the Intention is to nominate W. H. Hobson, of Stajton, and E. M. Crolsan, of Salem, for Senators, and in dorse N. H. Looney. of Jefferson, for Joint Senator with Linn. It is generally conceded that Hobson will be nominated. Crolsan is the man who led the Slmon Geer forces to "victory, and is being op posed by a portion of the Geer peoplo who are anti-Simon men. Since Simon is sup posed to be out of the fight, Crolsan may be nominated, but an effort will be made to put Squire Farrar on the ticket in his place. For Representatives, the slae seems to be Frank Davey, of Salem; Thomas B. Kay, of Salem; Jerome Sim mons, of Monitor: W. C. Hubbard, of Brooks and Alec Thompson, of Willard. These are all strong men, but mixed on Senatorial matters. These slates were not made In caucus, but are verified by the Geer leaders. It Is said a caucus will be held tomorrow morning. Slatebreakers Confer. As soon as the slate outlined became known this evening a meeting of slate breakers was held In a hall over Fatton's book store. About 90 delegates were pres ent. The convention will be composed of 243 delegates. Not nearly all the delegates were 1n town tonight, so that the attend ance at the meeting tonight Is said to represent the minimum strengh of the elatebreakers. Those opposed to the slate state that they have strength enough to break it. So far as could be learned, they have not yet agreed upon any candidates to put forward in the place of those who are unsatisfactory. It will be noticed that this slate leaves off J. M. Pborman, who was a candidate for the Senate, and his own precinct, "Woodburn, back of him. Poorman's 'friends may be strong enough to get him on the Representative slate, but it now Eeems that he will not get a place on the Senatorial ticket. If the ruling faction can avoid it. Two warm contests are expected tomor row over attempts to depart from customs which have heretofore prevailed. It Is proposed to name the delegates to the state convention before the Legislative ticket is named, and to select the delegates by a unit vote, instead of by precincts. Both these moves will be strongly opposed. It Is possible that the opposition will be so strong that the attempt to establish the new precedents will be abandoned. It Is quite frequently remarked that though Geer's friends have a good majority In the convention, they may lose control of It if they undertake to carry through measures which do not merit general approval. It Is because of this, and the fact that a number of strong candidates for county offices must be defeated, that the conven tion tomorrow is considered uncertain. Though the Legislative slate given hereto fore is expected to go through, there are many chances of a break and general mix-up. Principal Names Mentioned. The principal names mentioned for nomi nations in the convention tomorrow are the following: State Senators Lot L. Pearce, of Salem; Dr. J. N. Smith, of Salem; N. H. Looney, of Jefferson; L. J.

ORHGON CITY, March 25. Politicians from all over Clackamas County arc in this city tonight for the Republican Coun ty Convention tomorrow. There are no less than 40 candidates for county offices. State Senator Brownell will he renomi nated by acclamation. . Clackamas County has three Representatives, and there are about 15 candidates. Probably the most prominent are C. G. Huntley, of Oregon City; Hans Paulsen, of George; C. X. Ballard, of Milwaukie; Orange Barbur, of Killin, and J. L. Kruse, of Stafford, who was a member of the lower house at the last session of the Legislature. There ire three men who want the nomination of Sheriff Chief of Police Burns, of Oregon City; John R. Shaver, of Molalla, and John K. Morris, of' West Oregon City. Shaver comes from the country with strong support behind him, and it is un derstood that James O. Dickey, who is a candidate for the Legislature, will with draw, as his candidacy may Injure Shav er's chances for securing the nomination, as both are from the same precinct. Since the withdrawal of Mayor G. B. Dlmlck from the Judgeship fight, there is no op position to County Judge Ryan and he will be renominated. Justice of the Peace J. W. MeAnulty. of Abemethy, and F. A. Sleight, of Canby, are equally confident of obtilnlng the nomination for County Clerk. Weldon M. Shank of Oregon City, and E. M. Lake, of Borings, are both in the field for this office. There will be 14G votes In the convention, and It is not be lieved any one of the candidates for Clerk will have 74 votes on the first bal lot. . There will be a tight pull between Henry 23. Steven, of Milwaukle, and E. P. Ded- man, of Clackamas, for the nomination of Recorder. Both are competent men and are working hard. Commissioner J. R. Morton, of Damascus, arrived in the city this afternoon. He Is making a hard fight for renomlnation. His opponents are William Broast; of Wllsonville, and C. G. Bolland, of Oswego. Mr. Brobst has the solid German support, and ia considered a strong man. Enos Cahlll, of Tew Era; E. P. Carter, of Wilholt Springs, and J. Lincoln Waldron, of Oregon City, want the-nomlnation for Treasurer. More than one ballot will be necessary to decide this contest. The rumor obtained circulation yester day that there had been a deal fixed up to sidetrack E. C. Hackett, of Abernethy, who is a candidate for Assessor, and give him the promise of a deputyship, but this was evidently unfounded, as Mr. Hack ett is making a vigorous fight for the nomination. However, he will not stand in the way. of Judge MeAnulty, who Is also from Abernethy precinct. James F. Nelson, of Mulino, and Nixon Blair, of Killin, are also in the race for Assessor. Blair has tho support of the present As sessor's force, and is a formidable can didate. The three candidates for Coroner, R. L. Holman, Dr. C. A. "Stuart and Dr. C. S. Seaminn, are all confident of suc cess. The delegation to the state convention will be first, last and all the time for State Senator , L. L. Porter for State Printer. Clackamas County has never had a place on the state ticket, and feels that it is entitled to representation. CANDIDATES IX BAKER. Rand "Will Be Choice for Joint Sena tor Convention Today BAKER CITY, March 25. Now that the excitement over the Congressional con test baa subsided. Republican politicians are giving their attention to the person nel of the county ticket, which will be nominated In this city tomorrow. It is generally conceded now that John L. Rand will be the choice of Baker County for joint Senator for the district com prising Baker, Malheur and Harney Counties. For Representative, Walter Moore, of Baker City; Mayor Davis Wil cox, of Haines, and A. G. Ayers, of Burnt River; are candidates, with Moore and Wilcox apparently in the lead. C W. Whitney, Jerre Fleetwood and Harvey K. Brown want the nomination for Sheriff. Whitney seems to have the most strength. For Recorder, there is only one candidate mentioned so far, Robert Harvey, of Sumpter. C. M. Fos ter, for Surveyor, and Dr. T. N. Snow, for Coroner, will probably be renominat ed. The County Clerkship contest lies between James Cord and C. H. S fuller. The greatest contest will be on the offices of Representative and Sheriff. White on Democrat' Prospects. Sam White, chairman of the Democrat ic state central committee, returned from an extended visit to Portland and other Willamette Valley points yesterday. Mr. White has been looking after the in terest of his party In the western and southern counties. Mr. White considers that the Democrats stand an excellent chance of success at the coming state and county elections. The Democratic pri maries In this county will be held next Saturday, and Mr. White is here to take a hand In the management of affairs. He will return to Portland immediately after tho county convention, April 3. RYAN IS NO Q,UITTER. Socialists May Not Want Him, lint He Will Make Race for Governor. SALEM, March 25. The report was pub lished in Salem this morning that a num ber of Salem Socialists held a meeting yes terday, and asked R. R. Ryan to resign the nomination for Governor on the So cialist ticket. The reason alleged for this action was that Mr. Ryan had made some enemies by his aggressiveness In politics, and would not be able to bring out the full vote of his party. Mr. Ryan says the only knowledge he has of any such action having been taken was the report he read in a paper, as stated. In regard to such course on the part of his com rades, if such action was in fact taken, he says: "I was the unanimous choice of the mass convention of Socialists held at Portland, and If any ono had any candi date he desired to put up In my place, the opportunity was open for him. I declined the nomination, as all of the candidates did at first. Later, I was nominated by the convention, and since I received the nomination by uanlmous vote, I am no Spring chicken, and shall remain at the head of the ticket and do all In my power for the success of the Socialist move ment. Before I was nominated, I told the members of the convention that I had been an aggressive worker for the princi ples of Socialism, and had doubtless made enemies thereby. The convention nom inated me with full knowledge of the facts." The Salem Socialist Club, at Its regular meeting tonight, adopted resolutions In dorsing the state and county tickets "from Governor to Constable." This was the only allusion made to the report that Ryan had been asked to withdraw from the ticket. Ryan is president of the Salem Socialist Club. Nominees or City Offices. COTTAGE GROVE. March 25. A caucus was held here last night to nominate city officers, to be voted for April 7. Nomina tions were made as follows: Mayor, Dr. B. R. Job; Councllmen. J. I. Jones, S. R. Piper and F. H. Rosenburg; Treasurer, H. Eakln; Recorder. J. E. Young. The principal fight was on Mayor. R. M. Vcatch, the present incumbent, being defeated by 35 votes. An opposition ticket will probably make it appearance in a short time. Grant Rcnnbllcan Ticket. CANYON CITY, March 25.

LINEN MILLS WILL COME FOUNDER OF SALBM FLAX MILL IS VERY CONFIDENT. If Hla Enterprise Proven Saccessfal Eastern Capitalist Will Invest la the Other. SALEM. Or., March 25 "I; entertain no doubt whatever about the flaxgrowing industry proving a great sueces in the Willamette Valley, and that the manu facture of linen will in a few years be an established enterprise in this state." This is the statement of Eugene Bosse, who has just closed contracts under which 220 acres of land in this vicinity will be seed ed to flax next month. Mr. Bosse is a Belgian who recently came to Oregon from Wisconsin and purchased the machinery formerly used by the Women's Flax Fiber Association. Without asking any other subsidy from the people of Salem than the use of the old fiouring-mlll building for 15 months, and a small amount of water-power, he has ordered an outfit of modern flaxworklng machinery from Bel glum and will be prepared to take care of the crop to be grown this season. He has also purchased 15 tons of flax straw INDORSED FOR -JOINT 'iffiiairls'?"" ajy' jf v SsKL " ' $& Aj "&ht i? tt'&sjUfazwPfB BP!. " -ss ?

He la a strong Republican and a hard party worker. gniwn by the Women's Flax Fiber Asso ciation, and this he will begin threshing at once. It will be worked with the old machinery, but the new crop will be han dled wJlh more modern apparatus. "WIiicoHHln Capitalists Interested. Mr. SoEse represents a number of East ern capitalists, who, having learned of the resulV of experiments with flax In this state, believe there Is a good opportunity for the Investment of capital here in the flax manufacturing Industry. They will await the results of Mr. Bosse's first year's work before they decide whether to establish linen mills. While Mr. Bosse already feels confident of the successful outcome of his work, he will undertake nothing further than producing the flax and preparing the fiber this season. "Figuratively speaking. I was born In flax, and expect to die In flax," said Mr. Boa.e today. "I have learned the process of flax production and manufacture by actual experience in Belgium, where tho best of flax is grown. In Wisconsin I raised flax, not because it was a success, but because I enjoyed it. The climate of the Willamette Valley seems to be per fectly adapted to the production of this crop, and from samples I have seen I am convinced that fiber can be produced here of at good quality as that produced In many parts of Belgium. One of the samples I have here that was grown near Sclo is of splendid color, and would be fine and soft but for the fact that the straw was retted in water that was too cold. This Is a difficulty that can be over come at Sclo, and will not be encountered at Salem." "Do you think the flax fiber produced here will be suitable for tho manufacture of linen?" Mr. Bosse was asked. "I certainly xjo, or I would not be hero. There would be no object in coming heri to produce a quality of flax fiber that cuuld not be made into linen. There are 15 linen mills in the East, all using Im ported fiber. The mill farthest West is In Pennsylvania. When the flaxgrowing In dustry In Oregon has once been put upon a solid basis it will not be long before linen mill will be in operation here. The fiber would not ba shipped East to be manufactured, and then returned to the Coan as linen cloth. The whole process wculd be completed here. The Willam ette Valley should supply the linen for the greater part of this Western coun try." Contracts With Farmers, Mr. Bosse has made contracts for the production of flax In al directions from Salem, his purpose being to determine what soils yield the most satisfactory crops. He has offered the tarmera their choice of two "plans. He will pay them ?10 per acre for the use of their land, he to furnish the soed and they to prepare ths ground and sow the seed, after which he wculd take charge and harvest tha crop, or he will sell the farmers the seed at 11 50 per bushel, and pay them 512 per ton for the straw delivered at the mill in Salem. An acre will produce about two tons of straw. Practically all the farm ers made their contracts upon the first plan. They were not acquainted with the methods employed In harvesting flax, and preferred to leave this work to Mr. Bosse. Seeding of flax will be commenced during the first week in April, the weather per mitting. The flax will be ready to pull about August 15. Seed Breajrat From Belgrlaa. Mr. Bosse yesterday received a ship ment of flaxseed from Belgium at a cost of $4 50 per bushel. He will also use con slderabl cseed grown near Sclo. It is ad visable to change seed every third sea son, the new seed being imported. When homegrown seed has been used It deterior ates, and better crops are grown if new seed Is brought in every three years. The seed will be sown broadcast, 90 pounds to the acre. Each acre will yield two tons of straw and from 10 to 15 bushels of seed. The flax is pulled by tho roots, the seed threshed out, the straw retted and broken so as to remove the refuse from the fiber, and the fiber dried. "Will Employ Many Laborers. The crop this season will comprise 220 acres. To harvest It will require the labor of 100 men from July 15 to September 15. Retting and scutching will employ 20 to 30 persons from October 1 to July 1 next year, when the following crop -will be nearly ready. As will be eeen from these dates, the work of harvesting flax will not coincide in time with the work of har vesting hops. Should the flax Industry beccme extensive in the Willamette Val ley, It will add greatly to the distribution of money by furnishing employment to men and boys during a season when not much is doing in other classes of work. If UiIf season's crop proves as successful as is now anticipated Mr. Bosse's company will Increase its flax fields to 10,000 acres, and will establish a linen mill which will give employment to 500 to 700 people the year round. To gather 10,000 acres of flax by hand labor would require 5000 persons for two months. This would scarcely be practicable, and will not be necessary, for much of the work of pulling flax is done by machinery. After the present season flaxpulling machines will be intro duced, and the work will be conducted in "all other respects as It is In the old flax-producing countries. This would not be accomplished in a single season, of course, but to make the Industry a per-mai-ent one the quantity of flax produced must be sufficient to supply raw material for a linen mill. Flax a Wealth-Prodncer. An average crop of hops in Marion County, at average prices, distributes to tho pecple of the county $750,000 per year. Tho hopgrowlng industry In this state Is now but 20 years old. A crop of 10,003 acres of flax, when ready for the linen mill, would distribute among the people a like amount of money, and by the time the raw material, had been manufactured REPRESENTATIVE into linen the amount would be vastly in creased. For the bright prospect now opening for the fiar fiber Industry much credit is due the Oregon Women's Flax Fiber Associa tion, which was organized In this state five yean. ago. The Incorporators were 'Mrs. Juliet Lord, Mrs. Jane C. Card. Mrs. L. W Sltton. Mrs. G. M. Plttock and Miss H. E. Falling. These women believed that growing flax for the fiber could be mado a success in the Willamette Valley, and they undertook to prove the truth of their convictions. They believed that in flaxgrowing lay a vast amount of vealth for the farmers, laborers and business men of W.estern Oregon, and in order to demonstrate the possibilities of that in dustry they expended heir own money In experiments which were certain to prove unproductive of Immediate returns. They employcl experienced men to carry on the expcrJmtnts. They spent considerable sump of money for seed, for machinery, for lubcr and for scientific tests. Through circumstances over which they had no control they were drawn Into litigation. They demonstrated that flax fiber of su perior quality may be grown In Oregon, but because of the disadvantages under which they worked the question whether flaxgrowing for fiber can be made profit able was left undetermined. After having spent all tho money they thought reason able In experiments, and meeting no such aVa'stance as they believed they w'ere en titled to from the business Interests of the Willamette Valley, they abandoned their wcrk and left It for manufacturing entoiprJses to refume. It now seems that the work has been taken up by a company of men who pn.pose to conduct It upon a commercial basis. They will begin where the Oregon Women's Flax Fiber Association left oft. It has been proven that fiber of sat isfactory quality can be produced, and it remains to be seen whether It can. be produced and manufactured Into linen here In the Willamette Valley In compe tition with the large linen manufactories of the Eastern States. Commercial Clnb Assisting. Tho Greater Salem Commercial Club has faith in the successful outcome of the work now commenced. It has given Its approval to the entArprlsc Mr. Bosse is attempting to establish, and will aid him to the extent ho has asked. Salem busi ness men are uniting to raise a fund with which to put in a dam whereby the necessary water-power may be secured. Flaxseed is now being distributed among the farmers who will sow it, and today tho machinery Is being Installed with which to thresh the flax left by the wom en's association. New and complete flax working machinery has been ordered and is now on its way across the Atlantic from Belgium. The flax fiber producing indus try Is 1 hero to stay. Address University Stadents.

The party Is on an eight months' trip around the world to study economic conditions. In speaking of the relations between America, and Japan Count Matsukata said: "The Japanese fujly realize that it is to their best interests to foster the amicable relations existing with tho United States. This will not be a hard task, for the United States has immense interests in the far East, not only in Japan, but In regions -where the friendship of Japan will be of great value. The Increase in trade between the two countries has -been remarkable. The prospects are that the trade will continuo to grow very fast. Naturally I hope that these relations will be marked by reciprocity. The es tablishment of the Great Northern lin er? between America and my country will be strong prpof of the importance of the trade between the United Stales and Japan. As the empire starts new in Gustries. the need of machinery will be ccme greater and greater. Amerfca will supply-the larger portion of the demand" From, herrf the party will go to St. Paul, thence to Chicago, and from Chi cago to Niagara Falls. The next stopping-place will be New York. From New York the party will go to Boston, and then to England. HOPKINS SWORN IN AS MARSHAL WnshlnErtoa Ofilclal Reappoints Pres ent Deputies for Time Being:. SEATTLE, March 25. C. B.
