.1 li:;- Monday i
A critical situation is in ' the
offing for the flax growers of Wil
lamette -valley, according; to Col.
W. B, Bartram and others, who
are in close contact with the prob
lems of the Industry, -In a few
days and within e few weeks, the
growers will find their crop of
flax ready to harvest and will not
be able to care for it, and one of
the bumper crops of the-industry
will. rot in their fields. Much anxr
iety is being shown by the prom
inent woTkers who realize that it
will be Impossible for the farmers
to secure labor to pull the crop by
hand. '.-.' I f
There are only 11 flax machines
in the Willamette valley ready to
pull the crop when it id at its
proper stage of ripeness, and this
number cannot care for' the 4,
000 acres of excellent flax that has
been raised in this section of the
state, it is . pointed out. At ' the
very last minute, it is claimed, the
farmers will cpme to the state for
aid to care for the crop.
There is only one thing to do,
and that is to make -arrangements
for. securing additional pulling
machinery . here, it is claimed by
authorities.
The available labor supply will
be absorbed by other harvests that
go on at about the same time. Con
sequently, the flax growers will be
faced with - a critical situation,
which they cannot solve. '
Progress of securing sufficient
funds, which will allow for filing
of articles of incorporation of the
proposed new linen mill" here is
going along rapidly.' Unless other
developments arise the papers will
be filed Monday noon. Practical
ly all that is holding back the fil
ing of the papers, Is the shortage
of a few thousand dollars of the
Portland subscribers. It is claim
ed that a few hours work on their
part, coupled with the Influence
of -many prominent subscribers,
will be sufficient.
The proposition , is an assured
fact, and the promoter in the field
Col. W. B. Bartram, has turned
to . other details -ot the matter
which are to be met in the ad
vancement of the project,
r It is felt that unless steps are
taken to avert the crisis that is
facing the growers here, the grow
ing of flax will receive a set-back
that may prove a serious influence
to the industry.
WRIGHT IS CHALLENGED
f ...... - y
PILOT OF LANGLEVS PLANE
TO CONDUCT TEST FLIGHT
,NEW YORK, June 11 (By
The Associated Press) Charles
M. Manley, who was pilot of Lang
ley's aerodrome when the flying
machine unsuccessfully attempted
to navigate the air over the Poto
mac river in 1903, forwarded a
challenge to Orville Wright today
suggesting that each of .them put
up. $.10,000 to recondition the air
ship so that It could "write its own
label. in the air."-.?'." "
Mr. Wright recently asserted
that the label on the Langiey ma
chine now in the Smithsonian in
stitute which described it as "the
first man-carrying plane in tbe
history of the world capable ot
sustained flight," was inaccurate.
He said that-he and his brother
WDbor made the first successful
flight in an airplane.
Mr. Manley said that .if Mr.
Wright had not accepted his chal
lenge by Monday he was reuy to
raise the needed $20,000 himself
among his friends to put the ana
chine in its original condition and
conduct the test. He said he was
confident the Smithsonian officials
would allow the plane to be tested
out in July or- August in one of
the harbors on Long Island.

WASH INGTON, June 1 1 . ( By

Senator S moot of Utah, chairman
of the senate finance commission,
who, at the same time, declared
his opposition to any attempt at
tariff revision. .

Would meet next month to con
sider settlements.
"I feel certain that the sur
taxes will be reduced." he said,
''and have no doubt the tax will
be brought down to .25 per cent
and perhaps less. Some of; the
opponents of surtax reduction at
the last revision have come to
agree that the best way t bring
prosperity is to allow business to
proceed with as little hindrance
as possible. I think congress has
concluded : high rates not only in
terfere with established business,
but also prevent new enterprises,
i MI want to see all, discrimina
tory taxes eliminated from the
law. Nobody can tell definitely
bow much we can reduce taxes
next session until after the June
payments are made, and the re
turns are examined. ' I think it
will be between $350,000,000 and
$375,000,000. Tax reduction is,
in my opinion, of greater interest
to the American people than any
thing else. ': L ; ; ' :
"An effort ! will,' ber made to in
