VURXER. Or., Aug. 12. (Special.)
The Oregon Flax Fibre Company this
week is installing machinery here un
der the direction of the company's ex
pert. E. J. Hansett, of Belgium, an au
thority on flax growing and fibre man
ufacturing. The plant will work the
flax In this vicinity Into fibre, which
will be cold to Eastern linen mills.
F-oth & Schunltie and their - associ
ates, of Salem, are in charge of the
plant at Turner. Co-operating with
them are H. R. Crawford. R. D. Gray,
H. A. Thiessen, P. E. Thomasson, E.
C. Ball. John Watson and C. Tracy, of
Turner.
Pioneer Work Is Success.
H. R. Crawford. H. A. Thiessen and
P. E. Thomasson believed that flax
could be grown at a profit In this vi
cinity, ana with this end In view they
obtained the seed from the state last
Spring, and Induced a number of farm
ers to put out small acreages as an
experiment.
H. R. Crawford was the first man In
this vicinity to urge the growing of
flax, bo thoroughly convinced was he
that It could be grown successiuuy
Money would be circulated here, he
said, a number of people given em
Dloyment and farmers would find It
worth while to raise flax.
E. C. Ball was among the number
Induced to crow flax. Expert Hansett,
who visited bis field this week, said:
"The flax grown on Mr. Ball's farm
Is the eaual of flax produced In Bel
glum, France or Ireland, and it will
produce fibre worth $1200 a ton and
make No. SO thread, according to ray
Judgment."
Klax Yield Is Bin.
P. E. Thomasson has given much
study to the flax industry and from
present prospects it has been worth
while. He has 70 acres' of flax, the
fibre acknowledged by experts to be
6o fine that It is fully equal to any
Belgium fibre. It is possible that the
yield will be four tons to the acre.
Some of the straws measure close to
five feet, and It is a beautiful sight
to see the number of acres of flax
crown by Mr. Thomasson free from
weeds.
This small band of farmers studied
the soil, carefully and Intelligently
prepared the ground, observed -weather
conditions and as a result of this at
tention they have produced crops en
tirely free from weeds.
Plant to Operate Soon.
The machinery will be ready to
thresh flax the latter part of next
week.
The flax will be retted in a water
tank 150 feet long by 14 feet wide.
The water-retting process is declared
to be much superior to the dew ret
ting. Flax retted in the water is worth
on the market 100 per cent more, it
Is declared.
The flax plant is Installed -with
modern, machinery, built in Belfast,
Ireland. Mr. Hansett extends an in
vitation to any one interested to come
and visit the plant and compare the
workings of this machinery with, the
old style.

TACOMA. Wash., Aug. 12. (Special.)
Charles Evans Hughes has years
sufficient to have made him Governor
of New York, a Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States and candi
date for the Presidency of the United
Btates; but he is too young for Peter
Fulmer, known throughout the Puyallup
Valley as "Gramp" Fulmer. and brisk

Justice Hughes father is "Young
Dave," and the distinguished Presi
dential candidate is dismissed as being
a mere infant, after his time.'
"Uncle Joe" Hughes, grandfather of
Charles E. Hughes, was a neighbor of
the Fulmers in Pompey, N. Y., and there
brought up his family of several sons
to be "honest, hardworking men of
the land, as Gramp says.
"The Hughes were fine, honest peo
ple, hardworking, and not extra-well
educated." fulmer affirmed. "I never
saw young Charles, he wasn't born yet.
Oh. that was 60 or 70 years ago. I
don't know where he ever got educa
tion enough to be a judge, because the
Hughes didn't have much money. Uncle
Joe's sons all had just a common
school education and were all farmers.
3'he boys got Just a good business edu
cation and nothing more. They were
not able to send the boys to college
year after year; so Charles and the
others must have sent themselves."
Although "Gramp" thinks the Hughes
were nice people, and neighbors of his
and all that, he will not vote for Mr.
Hughes for President. He has been a
Democrat 94 years and three months.
and his father was before him. so he
does not intend to get rash and change
politics at this time of life.
If the young bloods of the country
want to send It to destruction with all
this Republicanism, why that is their

EUGENE. Or.. Aug. 12. (Special.)
,W. 11. Pasley, for 30 years a Lane
County farmer, has dec Med at the age
of 72 years that it would be a goo4
thing1 for his health to go to the mount
ains. AVhen he was a young man he
had done some prospecting, and decided
he would again search for precious
metals. He procured an outfit and,
taking Mrs. Pasley, a few years young
er than himself, with him, went into
the Mount Ruben district of the Rogue
River country, where he located sev
eral claims, and. has been working for
znre than a year.
Yesterday he returned to Eugene
announcing that he believes he has
found a source of great wealth. He

which may tend to swerve him in th con
scientious discharge of his duties. For these
reasons I shall not make any promises which
are not made to the people as a whole, and
shall boar my own campaign expenses.
Therefore. If I am nominated and elected.
I will be in position to be the real Governor
or tne ttate or wasninpton.
One of the essential things In the devel
opment of any state la good business man
agement, ir tne state s resources are prop
erly conserved and applied all reasonable
demands can be fully met while no enter
prise need suffer. The people's money is
worth 10O cents on the dollar and should be
handled in such a way as to insure full value
received in every particular.
Good business methods in every depart
ment are necessary to obtain the results
which the people are demanding, and which
they have a risht to expect. I am confident
that herein lies the sreat responsibility of
an executive officer. If I am elected Gov
ernor I shall expect to call to the service
of the state men. and women of the highest
ability available.
I have durine all my "public and private
life been consistently and openly opposed to
the liquor traffic, and I here reassert my
opposition to it in all its phases. The lra
proved moral, social and economic conditions
or the state since the provisions or the pro
hlbltion law became operative have amply
demonstrated the wisdom of the people
when they enacted the present law. I am
opposed to Initiative bills No. 18 and No. 24,
Known as tne notei ana orewerr om.
The enactment of either or both would in
my judgment briny about conditions more
Intolerable than the open saloon. I am In
favor of strengthening- our present prohibi
tion law rather than weakening It. If the
present law la found by the courts to be
ineffective in any respect, I resrard it th
duty of the law-makinr body of the stat
to so amend the law that all Its provisions
may be honestly and rigidly enforced.

DEER REPORTED PLENTIFUL
EUGENE, Or, Aug. 12. (Special.)
There are not enough bumblebees in
Oregon. Because of the shortage in
this particular insect truck farmers
and gardeners who attempt to grow
tomatoes are troubled. They insist
that the fruit will not ""set," because
some kind of blight, disease or other
agency destroys the blossoms. All
such theories are wrong, declares M.
D. Butler.
The blossoms fall off because the
bumblebee is a specialist in the work
of pollenlzation of the tomato, and
bumblebees are scarce. Mr. Butler
says.
