(Special.) The Eugene Chamber of Commerce began -ne second year of Its existence Mon day with a record of aceomnli.hmni nnequaled by the Eugene Commercial Club, Of Which it in the successor. Th plan of the organization was not only changed in January. 1916, but its policy was changed from building-up through puoucity to organization for construc tive development. The outstanding fea. lure of the years work h the nine bureaus which have been organized in the Chamber is that many new projects 'of far-reaching importance have been Undertaken, and that the work has been znaoe self-sustaining. Joseph Koke, president, and George 3Uayle, secretary, have worked early and late on community problems, mak ing a special effort to bring about com plete understanding and sympathy be tween Eugene and the surrounding country, working on the theory that a eity can grow no faster than the coun try in -.rhich it is located. Flax Project Stands Out. The greatest development project of the year has been the flax experiment. In which the Portland Chamber of Com merce has taken an interest and to ward which it contributed $1000. Its success is attested by the fact that company to be financed by Will Lip man, of Portland, and David Auld and Oeorge Quayle, of Eugene, for the pur pose of erecting a plant capable of handling flax from 1000 to 1500 acres annually has been announced as a prl vate enterprise. The possibilities of growing flax nd developing a great linen industry In Oregon, the members of the Eugene Chamber of Commerce believe has been shown conclusively by a contract with a Belfast firm to supply flax fibre for the manufacture of linen handkerchiefs at a price of about $1000 a ton. It was announced Monday night that this contract had been canceled by the Kelfast firm, but a cablegram has since . been received asking that the shipment f the fibre be made at once.

The new officers of the club elected were: F"rank Jenkins, president; Dr. T. II. Miller, vice-president, and B. B. Xlrundage, treasurer.
