The Emerson room of the First
Unitarian ; church, with! members
and'friendsi of the church, heard
the lecture on American Unitari
anism by Carl B. Wetherell of Bos
ton and San Francisco, last night.
The lecturer showed some Inter
esting slides of churches and emi
nent men who had a great deal
to do in molding the national and
religious ideals of this country.;
The Church of Quincy, Mass.,
was shown, where the remains of
John Adams and John! Quincy
Adams ire entombed. ; Emerson's,
Longfellow's and Hawthorne's
churches were also shown. The
speaker also told of the important
part Chief Justice Marshall and
John Jay had played in the inter
pretation of UKe';constitition ? of
the United States. Many inter
as tiijgand important facts were
brought out. .

manifested itself in the city; and
the development of ; a social ' con
science was made. ; The changes
in the civic improvement had to
come slowly, and from outlying
districts, he said. Because of the
paved streets and other public im
provements, property valuations
are from five to six times higher
than they were some 30 years ago.
The speaker recounted some of
the property transfers of that time
which involved four or five thou
sand dollars, but which today
would command a much"greater
figure. ' . i ' : : I I : -i
"The flax industry will come to
be jhe - leading industry of the
Willamette, valley. The ' Salem
linen mill is only the first unit of
a great industry that is coming
here." : ' ''i
Mr. Kay recounted the struggle
the early residents had in getting
a hotel established here. The one
which whs standing at that time
was a "white elephant," and
brought Salem in disrepute- among
the traveling men. The early ho
tel wa 3 a disgrace to the city.
The early efforts of the Board of
Trade ended in failure in getting
money raised to erect a new one.
The promoter, who had been se
cured for the purpose of eecuring
funds for a new hotel left the
city in disgust. Finally a com
pany of Salem men organized, and
by careful management the new
hotel was erected and caused much
credit to : be brought, to Salem.
The promoters, however, have
been getting no more than 6 per
cent interest. They are satisfied
because the hotel is a credit to
the city, the speaker said.
Mr. Kay outlined briefly the in
fluence and work of the State
Chamber of Commerce in assisting
local sections, of tha stale. The
citizens of Portland realize that
the .welfare of Portland is de
pendent upon the welfare of -the
state and therefore make", much
effort to promote the development
of industries throughout 'Oregon.
He cited the help , given the flax
growers here in buying special flax
pulling machinery.

What had threatened to be a

When the senate . assembled,
there was sort of electricity spark

every senator in town was at -his
desk. The atmosphere was. like it

of the summer. In that time the
retting will be done. .
The flax plant has some spin
ning tow for -sale, however, .and
there was recently shipped from
Portland direct to London, on the
steamship Ilowicfc Hall, a ton
sample, of the' spinning tow. The
spinners over Ihere wanted to see
this sampla in' bulk. They will
I uy from the sample, like hop
buyers from hp samples, or tea
buyers from tea musters.
The spinning tow goes mostly
into dress goods, and partly into
tcwel3 and coarse twine. '
The acreage that will be needed
this year is about all taken now.
There will likely be a number of
single acre tracts planted in var
ious sections of the Willamette
valley probably 50 of them, un
der the supervision of the Oregon
Agricultural college and the Port
land Chamber of Commerce. There
will be contracted just like larger
tracts; the state furnishing the
seed and buying' the flax.
. The jCanby, district, which his
not 'heretofore grown any flax,
will grow some this year. The
people down there are thinking
seriously'ot promoting a scutching
plant, and going into flax growing
on a considerable scale.
The threshing of flax at the
state flax plant goes steadily on,
and there are constant sales of
flax seed, and of the ground seed
for the drug trade.
BOARD LEARNS NEW
BUILDING UNLAWFUL
(Continued from page 1)
ations be dropped by - the deaf
school and dairying be dropped at
the girls school on the grounds
that they were money lowers, ac
cording to Senator Beals report
Senator Beals claimed to have
found similar conditions at' the
state tuberculosis hospital but did
not recommend the elimination of
any activities. -
Cows "Knot-hrevlpd' '
Heads of the institutions in
question were at the meeting. Mrs.
Clara Patterson, superintendent of
the girls school, was at a loss to
suggest means "whereby her ward's
might obtain butter and milk with
no dairy and no money with which
to make the purchases. She ob
jected to Senator Beals statement
that the dairy herd was a bunch
of "knot-headed" Jerseys. -
"There wasn't a single cow in
sight when Senator Beals visited
the school," she emphatically de
clared. - "None of the cows are to
be classed, as 'knot-headed, ' ehe
said.
Other Vorces Heartl
Dr. G. O. Bellinger, superin
tendent of the tuberculosis hos
pital, reported a waiting list of 4 3
at present and that when Senator
Beals investigated he charged the
budget estimate .of increase in
population against the production
two years ago, which he consid
ered to be unjust.
Senator Beals did not confer
with him at all. a L. Mclntyre.
superintendent of the deaf school,
declared. Figures quoted by Sen
ator Beals were-obtained from the
report of the board of control, it
was. recalled by CoL Carle Abrams,
secretary.
Other routing business occupied
the remainder of the meeting.
