grown profitably In the Willamette valley and in his mind saw
Salem a large and thriving cityi with dense-cloud of smoka belch
ing from numerous industrial Enterprises, with the manufacture
, of vriOUs;flax producU leading! them all. Study bf his subject
and tests of the plant more firmly convinced Mr. Hendricks, that
Salem could occupy the position held by Belfast, Ireland, as the
' linen manufacturing center of the world Gradually he won over
- sufficient men io prove his point and in the spring a start will be
