Instead of confining work
to
the manufacture of coarse towel

foreign competition by only a one
per cent tariff, the company is
planning to weave middle classed
goods, such as napkins, protected
by a SO -per cent tariff .according
to John' H. jMNaryV' who. also
spoke at -the luncheon. - ;i
. Following & the re$ont in fnUj
as submitted by Mr. Kay:
"To - tho-Stoxkholdaiat-f tb
Oregon Linen Mjlls: , --. ,
"As president-f the board of
directors, I desire to 'make the
following statement of conditions
which now' exist. Since the stock
holders , meeting held in the fall,
there has been additional bona
fide subscriptions secured in Port
land which wfll bring' the amoant
for that city up to $72,000, and
there is considerable more in
sight which will no doubt be sub
scribed later. . .
"Ten per cent has been collect
ai onsubflcriptions and Jias, been
paid on about three hundred and
twenty odd thousand flbllfs.
showing showing this amount in
good subscriptions available.
There is probably thirty or forty
tltouHiind. dollars more- on which
the lo peT tnt has not yet been
p; i'l. but which is considered
good. Therefore, the company has
available irt the neighborhood ,tf
1300,000 for the erection and op
cration of a linen plant.
"Last summer, as you will all
remember, 4lr. Sansom, represent
jng the Dominion Linens. Ltd.. of
Canada, subscribed 95&.O0O on
preerred stock on coudition that
they were permitted to buy 1000
sliaros ox common stock, this be
ing more than the amount pro
rata to each sa.bscrjber. j Jt was
understood that the Dominion
Linens would send an expert to
Salem to take charge of the erec
tion of a plant and operation of
same, but when called upon in
tho fall to pay 10 per cent of
their, subscription, they failed to
comply and, on being pressed for
action, they stated that they had
made other arrangements and did
not care to .proceed further, in
the matter. There are several
reasons surmised whereby the Do
minion Linens has decided to drop
out. one being to the effect that
they :had expected to more their
plant.' which is located in Geulph
Canada, to Salem and apply same
on their subscription, and: inas
much as it was not supposed that
the company would entertain such
a proposition, it is thought they
lpst interest in the deal. At any
rate; they have refused to make
payment of the 10 per cent and
proceed In the matter.
"The board of directors has bad
a number of meetings since the
organization In the fall and has
considered tho matter of erecting
and operating a plant in Salem
from various angles, but has con
tracted no indebtedness, beyond
probably a couple of thousand dol
lars for preliminary wot, up to
date
"We. now hare a proposition
submitted to us which seems feas
ible and which many think better
than that -made, by the Canada
people. Two men lately came
from the east- at the board's re
quest and. .gave such inlormatioa
as they bad pertaining to these
matters. A man by the name of
J. Aldred bT Lockport,. N Y
who has bad a great deal, of ex-
rJrience in the maualaclurfiig 6
Unea.podsi has .agreed to-come
to Salem and take charge of the
erection' . and" installation of a
plant and to operate same, on
terms "as foflows: He to be paid
a flat salary of $3000 and certain
traveling expenses, which will
probably amount to 51000 or
more for the - first year, and to
work; for .a. similar salary, plus a
per cent of the pet profits" of-the
company in the future, which
proposition is rjrery liberal,. Inas
much as the $ 3 00 -will no more
than pay the, man's living ex
penses during the first -year.
"Further. Mr. A14rei has an
option on a wearing .and finish iag
pl?nt in Lockport. N. Y ,'for JS25.

purchasec new ' for about three
times this, amount. Mr. Aldred
has agreed, to forfeit any commis
sion which be might make on this
plant and -funr -the-option .over to
I.th company and will supervise
the packlifg;aud shipping of same,

Florida Looks for Greater tieyctopment After "Boom"

Florida bankers believe that
when the gambling subsides the
real development of the state, no
tably in agriculture, will begin.
Already developiueut of the Ever
glades swamps on a huge scale
should be good enough for us, es
pecially when we ai'u able ti buy
it at about cents on the doll.ir."
John II. McXary spoke as fol
lows: ".Mr. Sanson's proposition to the
citizens of Salem was to cooper
ate with them in the erection of a
linen mill, for the purpose of man
ufacturing what is known as
"bread and butter jfootis," or
coarse toweling and cra-Oies. These
articles were to be made entirely
from low, and without the useof
linen fibre. The board did not
agree to this, as our fibre is eijual
to the best grown in the-jnofld4M$iIe PPPf.it in it,.. and he would
and under the proposition we were
to ret and scutch our flax.. use thei11301' Ul? company. In order

goods, itnd ship our fibre linen to
Cauada or elsewhere to be-niaiu-
tactnred into fine Tabrics.- Ttf vjfPJMin-y-nrTicient tofsver his ac-
opling such a policy, we woudTbe
in no better position to mauufac-.
ture linen goods than less favored
communities, where flax of a low
grade is grown. The profits of
cheaper linens are low. asvit,is:
collected by London brokers froSn
continental Europe' and shipped
into this country in large quan
tities. The tariff on the tow. is
only one per cent valorem. As a
result these goods are sold" at -a
low margin, and extensively man
ufactured in America. -
"Instead of following the Can
adian policy." the board found if
to be the best interest of the
stockholders of our company. t:
engage in the manufacture of mid
dle class goods, such as napkins,
tablecloths, etc. These goods arc
woven into linen by a few Amer
ican' factories frdm twino shipped
from foreign countries, art or pay-in-
thcreop, "a ."tariff of from ."i to
SO per cent ad valorem. Our yarns
will, be spun from our own fibre,
and thus save the 'tariff charge.
By this1 change in policy, we will
be enabled to utilize our superior
fibre, and return much larger idiv
idends to our stockholders.
"Our main purpose In accepting
the terms of the Dominion Linens.
Ldt.. Was to obtain from them I be
services of a competent manager,
and a few expert operators. We
have, however, arranged elsewhere
for such services.
"Mr. J- J. AldeT has been tenta
tively ont ployed as our manager.
His credentials have carefully
been looked into. He has been one
of the most siifcesful manufactur
ers of linen goods In America and
especially successful in taking
charge of unsuccessful ventures
and placing them upon a sound
financial basis. He served his ap
prenticeship in the old country,
and after coming to America, be
came manager of a linen mill, in
New York at the time this mill
had inly 40 looms, and was finan
cially on the "rocks." After Mr
Aldred had operated the mill for
several years, it paid its stock
holders 4 Oo percent dividend from
clared which had been used in in-

prepared to raise food for the ten
millions Florida hopes to attract
creasing the capacity of the mill
to SOU looms.
'I think our company will be
exceedingly fortunate in securing
the services of so competent a
manager. Mr. Aldred would not
consent to come to Salem until he
first investigated growing condi
tions in the Willamette Valley,
and the quality of the fiber Af
ter becoming satisfied on these
matters, Mr. Aldred emphatically
in formedvou-r -directors he would

of stock will be retained by the
company where it will receive no

"There were no differences bo

We still have their good will, asis
