MEETING ATTENDED BY 150
Federal Expert Praises Oregon Prod
uct and Co-operation in Mak
ing Industry More Important
Is Pledged by Big Interests.
EUGENE, Or., March 1. (Special.)
"Grow flax" Is to be the new slogan
in the "Willamette Valley. One hun
dred and fifty business men, farmers,
railroad officials, state and Federal
agricultural authorities attended a
meeting- held. In Eugene today for the
purpose of launching a. flax experiment
project in Lane County, which it is be
lieved will be the beginning of a great
industry in the state.
Oregon flax and Oregon flax prod
ucts in years to come will be known
as premier products throughout the
world, according to the prediction of
speakers, including the highest author
ity on the subject employed by the
United States Government, who was
present.
Conditions here and in Europe were
compared by speakers who had studied
both, and it was asserted those found
in the Willamette VaJley are superior
to those In Europe, where thousands
are given employment by the industry
and great profits, are made from flax.
F.osene Accepts Offer.
Lane County farmers have volun
teered to aid. Business men have given
their time. Railroad men have prom
ised to co-operate to the fullest ex
tent. Within two hours after the Port
land. Chamber of Commerce announced
to the various commercial clubs of the
Willamette Valley that it would 'spend
1500 in connection with a flax-growing
enterprise, the Eugene Chamber of
Commerce had responded with a tele
gram, the result of which was the
meeting, attended by 10 Portland rep
resentatives, today, when the Eugene
Chamber voted unanimously to accept
the Portland proposal.
Eugene Bosse, flax expert and for
mer resident of Belgium, said "condi
tions here are ideal for the growing
of flax and that a product superior to
that from any other part of the world
is possible. Only once in 50 years had
he known a flax crop to fail.
"Oregon has every advantage over
the European countries," said Mr.
Bosse. "Every river in Oregon is suited
for retting. Only one river in Europe
Is suitable.
Dr. E. A. Pierce, of Portland, chair
man of the flax committee of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce, told of the
enormous demand for flax in the
United States.
Federal Expert Heard.
Frank C. Miles, of Washington, D. C,
flax expert for the United States Gov-
"The importance of the flax industry
can be realized when we consider that
the United States annually imports J3,
000.000 worth of flax fiber. Besides
the fiber the United States imports ?20,
000.000 worth of linens annually."
Mr. Niles said the Oregon fiber was
the finest he had ever seen.
H. A. Hinshaw, of Portland, general
freight agent for the Southern Pacific
Company, pledged the co-operation of
the railroads.
A letter from Governor Withycombe
offered the farmers flax seed at S2 a
bushel. He said this seed cost the state
3 to $5.

it is unlikely that the bill to appropri
ate the sum of 13.000.000 to pay the
Cowlita Indian tribe members an old

gress. Representative Albert Johnson
introduced a bill along this line in the
House and Senator W. L. Jones one in
the Senate.
It is said the Department of the In

the claims, in effect that they should
be paid.
While now admitting the Justice of
the claim of the Cowlitz tribe members,
the appropriation bill for the relief of
the claimants is at present held up in

WOMEN UP If ARMS
Club Folk Would Block Re
building of Mackay Dam.
MILITANT THREAT IS MADE
Fight on Utah Construction Started
for Fear That in Idaho Repeti
tion of Otay Dam Disaster in
California Slay Be Repeated.
BOISE, Idaho, March 1. (Special.)
The clubwomen of Mackay have taken
a hand in the controversy over the Big
Lost River irrigation project, over the
rebuilding of the Mackay dam.
Unless they are given a hearing they
threaten to become militant. In a pe
tition signed by the leading women of
the town of Mackay, members of the
Woman's Club, they protest against
threatening Mackay with the same dis
aster that followed in the wake of the
bursting of the Otay dam in Southern
California. They say that will be the
result if the Utah Construction Com
pany is permitted to rebuild the dam,
for, in their opinion, it will not hold
the impounded water, and, should it
break, Mackay, below, is doomed, to
gether with the people therein.
By a vote of 4 to 1 the State Land
Board recently decided in favor of en
tering into a contract with the Utah
Construction Company to reclaim the
Big Lost River project, which for the
past 10 years lias occupied public at
tention in Idaho, due to the failure of
the original company to complete the
project. Secretary of State Barker. At
torney-General Peterson, ftate Auditor
Huston and Miss Bernice McCoy, State
Superintendent of Public Instruction,
voted for the contract. Governor Alex
ander voted against it. On the strength
of the contract, the holders, the Utah
Construction Company, propose to go
ahead with plans to complete the
project. These plans Include recon
struction of the old Mackay dam above
Mackay.
The people of Mackay appeared be
fore the Land Board and opposed the
contract. The citizens of Arco appeared
before the Board on behalf of the
project. The lands are tributary to
Arco. not to Mackay. A settlers' or
ganization was perfected- at Mackay to
attack the Utah Construction's water
rights before the State Engineer and
will endeavor to prevent the construc
tion company going ahead with its
$1,000,000 plant to finish the project by
enjoining them in court.
Now the women of Mackay, through
their club, are up in arms. In a peti
tion to the Governor they say in part:
"We. the undersigned, members of
the Woman's Club of Mackay, do hereby
appeal to you for your assistance in
our protest against the building of the
Mackay dam by the Utah Construction
Company, any individual or corpora
tion. In thus appealing to you we are
not biased by any political sentiments
or prejudiced against our neighboring
communities, nor do we wish to retard
any worthy land promotion, but we are
standing first, last and always for our
lives, our homes and the best welfare
of the immediate community."
It is cited by the woman that J. B.
Lippincott. noted engineer, reports that
the base of the old dam at a depth of 90
feet, rests on quicksand. They demand
to know why Mackay and its beautiful
valley should be destroyed to reclaim
a desert.

MILL WAGES TO GO UP
Increase of 10 Per Cent Promised
for Booth-Kellv Workers.
EUGENE. Or., March 1. (Special.)
If tlio situation improves, so that Ore
gon lumber can reach market, a wage
increase for employes of the Booth
Kelley Lumber Company in the mills
at Coburg and Springfield may be an
nounced within the month, according
to a statement made by A. C. Dixon,
manager of the company. The company
gave the men in the woods an advance
in wages almost one month ago.
Mr. Dixon said that If a wage in
crease was granted, it would not in
reality be an increase but more a mat
ter of a partial restoration of the wage
scale in' effect before a 20 per cent cut
necessitated by business depression.
The greatest problem just now, Mr.
Dixon declared, is to obtain cars so that
the mills can fill the orders which con
tinue to increase in volume.

Headache of any kind is caused hy
auto-intoxication viich means self
poisonincr. Liver and bowel potsons
called toxins, sucked into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart, which pumps tbe blood so fast
that it congests in the smaller arteries
and veins of the head, producing vio
lent, throbbing pain and distress, called
headache. You become nervous, de
spondent, sick, feverish and miserable,
your meals sour and almost nauseate
you. Then you resort to acetanilide, '
aspirin or the bromides which tempo
rarily relieve but do not rid the blood
of these Irritating toxins. .
A glass of hot water with a tcaspoon
ful of limestone phosphate in it, drank
before breakfast for a while, will not
only wash these poisons from your sys
tem and cure you of headache, but will
cleanse, purify and freshen the entire
alimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate. It is in
expensive, harmless as sugar, and al
most tasteless, except for a sourish
twinge, which is not unpleasant.
If you aren't feeling your best, if
tongue is coated or you wake up with
bad taste, foul breath -or have colds.
Indigestion, biliousness, constipation or
sour, acid stomach, begin the phos

Results are quick and it is claimed
that those who continue to flush out
