K. J. Adams of Eugene has ac
cepted the appointment as secre
tary to Un.iea States Senator-elect

PENITENTIARY APPEARS
AGAIN IN POLITICS
(Continued from page 1)
m:ttee which will report It out
favorably if the two chairmen are
able to sway the other members,
for Gordon himself is chairman of
the house committee and Patter
son, chairman of the senate com
mittee, is very close to the gov
ernor and represents him in the
senate at this session.
. . Box Factory Impracticable . .
According to the governor's
message, it I h!s intention under
the Gordon bill, to start the es
tiblishment of a box factory at
the prison. Persons familiar with
the timber Industry declare this
i3 visionary. It is Raid that tim
ber suitable for making boxes
could be brought to the state
prison only at great expense, mak
mr eny profit from the proposed
industry utterly impossible. Fur
ther, it is known that the only
timber company in a position to
furnish the material is opposed to
the scheme.
It la apparent that the gover
nor's desire to rid the prison of
the flax industry is merely a per
sonal one. The flax plant at the
nenitentiary wis close to the
heart of the late Governor Withy
combe and was fostered by him,
alwavs over the opposition of Mr.
Olcott In th days when the board
of control had anything to do
with the InduKtrv . irta ots,
p eamr governor k-e-franltfy ald
mat ne wisneti the .flax plant
were eliminated from the prison,
and of late he has not been in ac
cord with Robert Crawrord, su
perintendent of the industry at
the prison, as to Its future dispos
al. ! .
Crawford Absent ,1
Crawford is a flax expert, hav
ing been reared in that industry
in Ireland. He was first em
ployed as superintendent of the
prison plant under the Withy
combe administration, but because
of a disagreement over compen
sation was ousted by Governor
Withvcombe. ; Not long after Mr.
Olcott became governor he placed
Crawford -gain at the he?d of the
Industry. Crawford believes the in
dustry should be further devel
oped at the prison by establishing
twine spinning machinery which
he declares could he done at very
little expense to the state. But
Oovernor Olcott wants to put the
industry out. '
To accomplish his purpose there
are Indications that the gover
nor is taking advantage of Craw
ford's absence from the state. In
formation is that Crawford, about
the first of the year, asked for a
short vacation, lie was told, says
the information, to take three
months on pay. Crawford went
to Ireland to visit his old home.
When he returns he will rind the
hoard of control authorized to sell
off the flax industry. While the
I bit! implies that it will not be sold
, untii the board holds that private
I enterprise is in a position to car
! ry on the industry the measure is
indefinite and leaves the board
free so to decide at any time af
ter the law is effective.
Plan Attracts "Attention
The prison flax plant is attract
ing nation-wide attention, and
has demonstrated that Oregon is
capable of producing on a large
scale 'flax of high grade. If the
prison plant Is sold there Is dan
ger that the incipient industry
will he killed. It is an industry
that Influential people of Oregon
have been working on for years
and they have looked to the pri
son plant to show the world what
the state can do in flax produc
tion. Marion county farmers who
have raised flax for the prison
plant under contract with the
state object to the plant's remov
