Disclaiming any desire to dlscoursge th flax industry In Oregon, and yet expressing grave doubts whether the growing of flax will prove profitable. William Barbour, of the Linen Thread Company, of New York, has written a letter to J. W. Cook, of Portland. Mr. Barbour says he does not doubt that Oregon ran raise the finest quality of flax, but he believes the cost of labor will bo prohibitive. He says in bis let ter: I recently read In Th. Oreconlsn I think. quit, a long article referring to a meeting that had been held in your city, tbe pur pose or which waa to .ncourace tb. cultiva tion of flax In Oregon, and urrd UDon veur publle-aplrlted eltlaena. th. envlsablllty of ouiimng a fiaxraiil I assume In Portland to Inaur. your farmers a sood pries for th. iiax tney mignt raise. I waa eorry to a, that th. statement waa mad. at the meeting to which th. ar Kiel, rererred. that consumers of flax her. In th. Eut. dlacouras.d flax cultivation on In. Pacific Coast, which la misleading and abwlut.ly untrue, ao far as th. Untn 1 bread company Is concerned, and w. ar. in. largMi nsera of flax In this country. I am eornr to ear w. are flndlne It more eirricuit .acn year to procure sufficient rsw material suitable for our wants, and Instead of discouraging tbe cultivation of flax. w. bav .varytblng to gain and nothing to o. by aoing exactly tb. opposite, for th more flax tbr. la raised both ber. and aoroao. in. better it la for us. W. are euch old frlenda that I do not feel I am asking loo great a favor of you. when I requeet that you will make a oolnt of see ing some of the gentlemen who attended the meeting j refer to. and I am aura you must be acquainted with aom. of them and endeavor to a, to It that if any fur ther meetings are held, tbe (ale. Impreeaion aa to our position, which on. would aether from th. article, la corrected. I have no doubt that good flax can be raised la the State of Oregon. In earing thla. I mean flax for fiber, not for aeed. I doubt, bow.v.r. If th. cultivation of flax for. fiber purpoeea la your atate can be suc cessfully carried on by reason of the high coet of labor with which you ar. confronted. Flax, when cultivated far fiber, must be weeded when two or three Inches high, and often weeded a second time, and then pulled by th. roota Just before it is ripe; and we know by experience, that thla has confined tbe cultivation of flax for fiber to dletrtcte that are thickly populated and wher. child and woman labor can b. pro- eured at a v.ry low coet per diem. There waa a time wb.n we bought per haps 100O tona of flax grown In the State of New Tork; It waa quite an Industry 20 years sgo. In th. neighborhood of Saratoga, but there haa not been a ton of flax raised In thla atate to my knowledge In the last 10 years. we get a tew hundred tons eh year from Canada, of a quality aultable for making sack twine, or sail twine, as It Is commonly called: but X am sorry to ssy that thla supply comes from ths neighbor hood of Niagara Falla. and la decreasing year by year, almply because the Canadian farmers find they can make more money raising otber crops. Kv.ry pound of flsx thst w. eonsum. In th. manufactur. of threads la Imported from serosa the water, th. beet flax com-1 Ing from Ireland. Holland. Belgium and France, and a great supply of flsx of a middle grsd. from Russia, where It la a very considerable article of commerce. Instead of our wishing to discourage the cultivation of flax In your part of the world we would do much to atlmulate the growth of It purely aa a mstter of business, but th. writer would not go to the extent of making the ststement that I bellev. flax ran b. cultivated for fiber, at a profit, aim piy aoirianiy to get innocent people to pro duce a aomethlng w. would ilk. to buy, knowing that to aell It to us at a fair price or even at a higher price than we pay for Imported flax would mean a lose to them. If. upon Investigation, you find that th meeting or association of gentlemen really Intend to put up money and attempt to raise flax for fiber. 1 wish you would put me In touch with the leading aplrlta in the undertaking, for I will cheerfully co-operate, and you can vouch for me when I say, Mr. cook, that thla letter la not in any way prompted with a desire on my part, to pre- vent the establishment of a flaxmlll, or linen industry In your stste. I am not writ ing in an endeavor to atifl. competition. am writing you almply to prevent our at titude toward would-be flax growers being misunderstood, and to prevent any friends or youra irom engaging to a new enterprise. witnoui Knowing everytning anout tne ln duatry that they can find out from me cheerfully, without expens-. WILLIAM BARBOUR. PORTLAND IS. COPIED nOXOIXLU TJSESaiOSE FESTIVAL IDEA. SPEED FINES ARE ILLEGAL Penalties Too Low, Municipal Court Discovers. That fines aggregating many hun dreds of dollars. Imposed In the Muni cipal Court in past years, were illeraJ In that they were below the minimum, was the discovery made yesterday when J. II. Fenner, a lumberman, was brought up for exceeding the speed limit wnue driving tils automobile. Police Sergeant Patton arrested Fen ner for exceeding the speed limit. Judge Taxwell said that he would im pose the minimum fine, 125. Someone remembered that It had fonrnerly been the custom to Impose a fine of $10 for offenses committed outside the fire limit, and the law was looked up. It was then learned that while within the fire limits there Is no minimum fine, $25 is the minimum fine in the outlying districts. The anomalous condition arises from the passage of an ordinance without ref erence to its predecessor.' Tht first auto mobile regulations provided for all of fenses a minimum fine of $25. Later a lengthy ordinance was passed, licensing chauffeurs, and a provision was tacked In that speeding within the fire limits should be punished by a fine not to ex ceed $-'0. This amended the former en- ctment. so far as It affected the fire limits, but left the old provision stand ing as to the district outside of the limits.
