The new process is probably chemical, or partly chemical nd partly mechanical. If it were purely mechanical, it would not require even thirteen hours. Henry Ford uses a mechani cal process which he has discovered, and which he' thinks will be so perfected as to do away entirely with retting; and ; scutching. Anyway, he is already getting coarse fiber that 'he is usiin making brake bands for his automobiles. By . thfs process the flax straw is merely fed into one end of a machine and comes out at the other end with the fiber sep- "arated f rom he' shives or cores. ' 1 , . Th?ra ave been many chemical processes for separating tne fiber from the flax straw by short-cuts, requiring only JZJp'-lQ hours; butso far, every one Jias either weakened the fiber or made it coarse and brash f taken the "life" out of it, roaking it difficult to spin finely and impossible to be used 5n the making of fine linjsns; , 1 :'' Perhaps the Scottisfesystem is different ? But no one will easiljrconvince any old time spinner of flax fiber that fine yarn caivbe produced excepting from ,i retted and scutched flax And, while a short cut harbeeh found in rettinir. bv the Use of wanned water, reducing the time of rettinir from three weeks or more down to one week or less (the process used at xne state flax plant here), no one has yet found a way to . iiiwxiamcauy ojTuine retted llax straw s - Anor nothing but sunshine will do No other way ! will Impart or leave the "life"" that is, needed by the spinner of line flax yarns.

There will sufficient business for competing lines it either or all o those pleading the privilege of exclusive extension rights will put forth in future competitive developments even ;a fraction of he effort which they have expressed a desire to put forth if permitted to stifle competition. - ' 1 ' The principle that any railroad or any other line of business should be granted permission to stifle competition is wrong. Jt is un-American. The government has in the interstate commerce commission the machinery for fair and proper regulation of railway lines so that each may be saved from ruinous competition either by new. lines or by those already established, , And the plea of the Governor that all railway lines including the Espee should be granted the right and privilege-to build new lines which will aid in Oregon's development is in the interest of the state. successful conclusion, if, it. ever is, this district will be able - w v vi.v uuuivct at ouiuciiuug UTUUZIU HcLXX me recent average price of cotton fiber. - il ": Is not that a wonderful outlook? ; !; It would mean the intensive cultivation, to the very: last piece the size of a posttiole, of all the tillable land in the vviuamette valley, from the rivers brink to the crests of al the hills. -,f - - - CONSOLIDATIONS IN INDUSTRY j- Bits For Breakfast , ' ; Industry everywhere is turning toward consolidation and economy in operation.- Standardization, too, follows as an . economic necessity through better marketing systems. n - Uniform quality is the demand most Insistent just now. lhe growth of .uniformity as one of the present - marke requirements is seen in the various laws recently passed ; requiring standardization of products and in the planting of large and selected areas chiefly to one kind of crop, as for example,, concentrating upon certain varieties of fruits, vege tables or grains within given areas. ' rA several an van ta cm m thi tTwAHTira r-mm Tw ' --a ; vuma CftV JKJ V aVUO XAXA proved quality rather than quantity is just now the slogan ' of srowers in response to the demands of the markets and . of the consumers. .A Sufficiently large amount of one variety of products as potatoes, cherries or wheatraised within a givenarea makes it possible for growers to pool their: crops with the result that they xan slip in. larger quantities and make favorable impression on the ; market. Again, where .selection is; made with reference to a single variety, cooper tive selhng of quality-products is one of the first consider ) tkns- And further, cooperation itself requires consolidation J of interests, efforts and a collective responsibility. " ; Examples of consolidation in industry includes, in addi tion to those suggested abovef the poultrymens association standardization and selling, the cooperative wool growers association, the prutf growers organization, the local cherry pool nd many other "organizations with similar purpose and methods of standardizir.and selling certain products. - Among the resultsr of these cooperative consolidations are products placed on the mtket under the test of uniform ity in size and quality, attractiveness of pack, accurate meas ure and prompt delivery Dealers and consumers are thus TheElk is a noble animal S b v , And the Elks a noble order, and a pulchritudinous, considered from local standpoint.

' S S S It Is something of an accident that there is so much hemp at the state 'flax plant, from the leaves of which the marihuana is made pronounced meriwana, and acting like the hasheesh of Oriental fame, or 111 fame.- It was never the in tention of the hi&her authorities that there should be so much. Neither was marihuana thought of at that time. It is likely that this will preclude the establishment of a hemp industry, ever at the peni tentiary; though otherwise that would be a good place to start that industry. We grow as good a quality of hemp as the best Italy produces,- and the Industry will finally be developed here. The annual flax slogan issue of The Statesman will be next Thurs day's paper. ' If you hate any ideas about the industry that ought to be put over to the public, please : inform the Slogan editor, and do It at, once. This . is important This will one day be Oregon's greatest Industry." Murray must hang.

'Hello, old dear! mail box?" Dicky slipped his arm about me. and kissed me, careless of any ookers-on. There was eQQ& carelessness In the caress, also, or 8o I interpreted it, and the thought indefinably chilled the welcoming ardor which meeting him after' an absence always brings to Imy heart. -"Yes," I returned demurely. 'You' caught me before I had time to look at the loot!" Well, they'll wait," he return ed, rushing me up the stairs, his hand beneath my elbows. "I am glad you made the grade, instead of missing the train, as it was next to a cinch you'd do. Cloth es all ready, I suppose." It was the question I had most dreaded. How was I to explain to him that the evening clothes which he supposed had been pressed by a competent tailor. were even now In the hands or our neighbor. Mrs. Petey Marks?

"The other people In the building probably aren't in terested in your woes." But a second or two before I had been thoroughly remorseful about my failure to reach the tailor at the hour he had named, even though I acquitted myself of all blame for the chapter of ac cidents which had delayed me, and thy chief concern had been the triumphant bringing forth of the evening clothes in readiness for the banquet to which Dicky was looking forward with such keen expectation.
