SELF-MASTERY: Keep back thy servant also from presump
tuous sins; let them not have domination over me; then shall I be
upright, and I shall be Innocent from the great transgression." Let

SALEM'S SECOND LINEN MILL
' Work islo now go forward on Salem's second ljnen mill,
and under more favorable auspices than was expected
More favorable to both - the stockholders and the city,
and to the flax growing and manufacturing industry as a
whole '
More favorable because the primary machinery will not
cost as much as was estimated, and the ownership and control
will be almost entirely in Oregon hands, and largely in the
hands of the people-of Salem and vicinity.
' There is a great possibility that the value of the common
stock that is taken by the preferred stock holders will before
long be selling at a higher price than the preferred stock
And the men Who get the common stock with their
purchases of, preferred stock will control the mill. Under the
arrangement as now agreed upon, no one is to be given a
preference in the purchase of common stock. The one-fourth
of the common stock that was to have gone to the Canadian
promoters of the enterprise will not be issued at all. The
benefits of control and of ultimate dividends will accrue to
the men who have bought or are to buy the preferred stock.
There is another very favorable phase of the new situ
ation in the development of this enterprise, and that is the
fact that the mill as at present outlined by the directors will
be one that will be capable of turning out both the coarser
goods, like crashes and toweling,, and also linens of both
medium and high quality, like linings and dress goods, and
table cloths and napkins, etc. In other words, it will make
up as part of its output, and very largely, goods that are
protected from 25 to 55 per cent ad valorem
And it will without doubt make profits for its stock
holders, and, if kept under as prudent management as it
starts dutVithr will grow- into a great institution
And, more than1 this; will be the second forerunner of a
gigantic flax and linen industry in Salem, destined tof become
the greatest single industry in 'Oregon, for which nature
prepared the Salem district to a perfection not found else
where in the entire world.
h Another important thing: This second linen mill, being
managed and largely Owned by Salem people, will naturally
be conducted in such a way as to encourage other mills; for
part Of the original idea of its establishment is to develop
the .industry here
First; in fact, to develop the Industry, and second to
make money for its stockholders.
' ,So when there is "Opportunity to run an extra shift in
making yarn for a specialty, maut that will be done first tc
get that additional mill, and second to make better profita
for the stockholders of the original mill.
Such an opportunity is Jikely to come very early in the
operation of this second linen mill for Salemvfor it is known
that specialty, manufacturers are already looking this way,
brought to this attitude by tjhe high protective duties on all
the finer manufactures of flax.

editor thinks the above mention-

what cuts probably one stage to

. , ' . It is a wonderful outlook It was a fortunate delay. The
directors are now agreed upon the program of building, and
they have a vote of confidence that is unanimous from the
stockholders.
. There is great occasion for rejoicing.
This will give a stimulus to the business of Salem "right
off the bat," and it. will put a stiffening under property
values here that will be seen a once.

TWO-OrV MABEL
She was a battling, two-gun
woman, as desperate as any fron
tiersman, was Mabl Wilson; and
many a peace officer in Arizona
has listened to her crackling
voice, coming from a stocky-built
woman of generuos proportions,
with the injunction:
"Drop your gun and put 'em
up!"
The deputy sheriff in Mohave
county had the drop on hr. too.
when she turned her sawed-off
shotgnn in his lace and tola turn
to let go the pistol and elevate
his hands. He couldn't shoot a
woman!
They didn't know who she was,
down in Yavapai county, but lhe
had heard that a slim man and a
big woman were smuggling in
automobile loads of whiskey from
northwest of the city of I'rescott,
evidently from Williamson valley.
So Sheriff Ed Weil, whose long-
barreled 4 5 gun commands re-
Kpect all over the state, took a
couple of deputies in his big Stude
baker car and, driving out east of
the -city to disarm suspicion, cir
cled around and beat it through
the Sierra Prieta mountains, go
ing out on Burped Ranch road.
Two nights and a day they lain
cut in the mountains, atop the big
mesa on which Prescott is built,
without sleep and almost without
food. They gave up the hunt at
dawn, the end or the secona
ight, and carae back in for wa
ter.
Roads were Icy and covered with
sntjw, for it was February, ana up
here in the mountains it gets pret
ty cold o' nights. Deputies Bill
Poulson and Frank Denny were
wrapped up in quilts in the back
seat, while Sheriff Wet;, a stripl
ing in endurance in spite of his
ifty-some years, drove.
Suddenly the jjreat brake:? of th
car stopped it almost dead still.
Pile out, yon fellows." the dep
uties heard Weil shout, as they
picked themselves out of the bot
tom of the car to see the sheriffs
long pistol coming out of its hol-
Mer.
Beside the road, as though
drawn up for camp, was a car.
and beside it a slender man and
stout woman. At the sheriff's
command the man put his hands
up, and Well inquiredr - ,
"How did you folks happen to
be out here in the cold?"
We camped " here" ' tor tha
bight," said the man, "and were
just breaking camp. How far la
it to Prescott?"
The sheriff lowered his gun
The woman started slowly toward
their car. and Denny, out of cur
iosity. stirred the tarpaulin on
the ground with his foot. He
heard a clink and, lifting it, found
fefght cases of moonshine.
Pcuison looked around to see
George Clarke, a celebrated ne
gro minstrel., on kone occasion
when being examined as a witness
was severely vtejrogatecfj; by"
lawver - -. . ' -"
. "You .are in the minstrel bus!
ness. 'I believe?" inquired the
lawyer; "
s- Yes. sir." was the reply. '
"Is not that rather a low call
ing?"- .... .. . , .
"I don't know but what it is
sir." replied the minstrel, fbut It
is bo much better than mj father
that I am proud of it. .
; The lawyer fell Into the trap.
. "What was .your father's call
ing?" he inquired. '. .-
"He was a lawyej t-eplled
what had become of the "woman.
She was stepping quickly toward
Iter automobile. Out came Poul
son's 4 5 again as he said:'
Jet away from that1 car. sis
ter, arid stand up with the man
you're with, or we'll be shipping
your body out on the tnorning
train. I Used to be an undertaker
arid one dead one Tooks like an
other to me."
She looked at him a long time.
"Make it snappy, lady, if yov
pjease," added Poulson, and she
saw the big hammer on his six gua
starting slowly back.
This was a different kind of
deputy than she ever had encoun
tered. She stepped back. It wat
Mabel, and it was her first de
feat at the hands of a peace of
ficer. Ou the back cushion of her
car, just inside the door, lay her
own 45 revolver and sawed-off
shotgun, loaded.
They locked Mabel and her com
panion, Albert Norton, up, and
next day went back and found an
additional 10 cases of contraband
liquor.
From seams and Vfalse pocKef
in her heavy dresses she dug up

he was put downstairs, in the tem
porary cells as a hospital. From
there he sawed his way out
through 4 windo'V and . escaped
and he, too, hat never returned.
"If that gun-handlin .wquan
'will just stay away, it's O. K.

BY CLADYCE HATCH
After trying unsuccessfully to
obtain a dozen eggs at about four
different groceries, I entered a
fifth and inquired hopefully:
"Hive yon any fresh eggs?"
. "About a dozen."
"I'm very sorry, but we have
only nine. You see, It is almost
impossible to get a sufficient sup
ply of eggs to met the demand we
havo for them."
So I joyfully took the nine egsfs
and handed the forty-five cents,
or five cents apiece for them and
went on my way wondering why
it was such a difficult task to ob
tain a dozen, ordinary, fresh ban's
eggs.
I tried to penetrate the mystery
and find the seemingly unknown
reason for the absurd prices and
scarcity of eKRs in a town like Sa
lem. The next wek I wont on a tour
of'inquiry around the city.
I f6und that chickens very se'
dom sell for less than forty cents
ptr pound and that etrgs are al
ways sold at a very high price.
"Why U it necessary to change
these exhorbitant prices?" I ask
ed. "Does it cost so much to
raise chickens and produce et:
that they simply can not be sold
cheaply?"
I found that the main reison
nriees are so high is that very
few people have attempted to
make a commercial enterprise of
chicken raising.
I found that green feed is to be
obtained all the year and that
there is also abundance of grain
in the country, thereby insuring
plenty of feed for the chirks.
Due to the mild weather and
even temperature, the open front
frame houses are satisfactory,
making the cost of buildina: much
less than in the Mississippi valley.
Plenty of green tuff and mild
weather encourage the hens to lay
throughout the entire year, en
abling the poultry man to take ad
vantage of the highest market.
Because of even climatic condi
tions, the incubators can be start
ed in January so that there will
be frys and broilers much earlier
in the season than is the rule else
where. The weather continues to
be cool throughontt he summer so
that the incubators do not have to
be stopped on account of extreme
heat. t
The first three hundred per Leg
horn hen was produced in the Wi
lamette valley. There is a flock
of hens near Salem containing

hirteen. three hundred egg hens.
.Many varieties of chickens are
desirable. Leghorns have always
been considered excellent for any
one whod esiies eggs more than
meat. Plymouth Rocks are hardy
and attain a good size early, since
they grow quickly. Rhode Island
Reds are very sood. both for egs;s
and meat. The canons can always
be sold at meat markets and to
individuals as many prefer them
to anything else.
About ten acres is the most
desirable amount of land to be
used for commercial chicken rais
ing, although a person might be
gin on a smaller scale and increase
the business a.s he realized more I
profits.
There is the City of Portland
only a few miles distant, with a
population of about 200.0(10, and
surely most of them use eggs and
eat chicken. Then there are the
eastern markets, where eggs can
always be shipped.
No weather extremes, desirable
markets and need for chickens and
eggs, besides the location all help
to boost Salem and the vicinity of
the Willamette valley as the cen
ter of the chicken raising business.

How we should like to know
the origin, purpose, effect and end
of sin, but neither the Bible nor
Jesus will let us speculate. The
Bible is the most practical of all
books, and Jesus is the nanest of
men. Th eytell us that we are not
here to pluck the heart out of
every mystery but to do our work;
strength sufficient is promised for
that. Mere curiosity seekers find
po satisfaction in the scriptures.
The Bible recognizes the realty
of sin, acknowledges the presence
of it. points out the malignity of
it, and stirs lip in the heart a pas
sionate desire to get rid of it. The
Bible teaches "that" sin is univer
sal; it has vitiated all departments
of man's being; it exists in two
forms, sin of action and sin of
condition; and it Is so hateful to
flod that It lies under his wrath
and curse.
The world objects that sin is a
little thing, and mocks the church
lor making much ado about little.
It asserts that sin is a pardonable
ignorance which men will over-
ome; or that is a necessity of. our
ature. To all such assertious tli
;
church shouts. "No." Sin Is not
h trifle in view of the mountain
ous masses or woe which it has
caused; men do not outgrow,. it.
but rather grow worse in it; and
the sane-headed Shakespeare said
it is the foppery of the world to
pay that men sin by compulsion.
Sin is a disease, an awful disease:
t: load, a crushing load; j debt,
an immesurable debt; a slavery,
a galling intolerable slavery. It
makes the head of humanity sick,
f nd the whole heart faint. Only
the Gospel of Christ can bring us,
relief.
For a great problem Christian
ity offers a great remedy: "For
Cod so loved the world that He
gave His only .begotten. Son, that
v hosoever believeth on Him' might
not perish, but have eternal life."
The death of Christ is the central
fact of the New Tettametot. It
tills the conversion of. Jesus. Paul.
Peter, and- John. The; supreme
voice of the New .Testament is,
"Behold." the -Lamb of" God, that
taketh away the-'sin of the world. '
