for that providing for a city gar

This action took place at a spe
cial meeting of taxpayers in the
Richmond district, held at the
Richmond school, and which was
attended byabout SO citizens of
the district. The meeting was
called in order to give city of

invited to attend. Councilman W.

ex-Mayor J. It. fJiesy spoke against
all the city measures except that
of the incinerator. This, he said.

and would fill a long neetled want
in the city.
The money asked for street re

raised by special vote, declared
Mr. Ciesy. The automobile fund

be more than enough to care for
all. the work needed, in his opin

Referring to the S500.000 bond f
levy for sewers, Mr. Giesy stated
that this amount was too large

MORNING, JUNE 9,. 1,927
FIRST LOT LINEN
ON MARKET HERE
PRODUCT OF LOCALLY GROWN
FLAX' KKADT' FOR SALE
' i '
.TexlUe First, to- 1U Maaufactni-ed
West or Rockies; Gcmm!
Quality
The first linen ever to be man
ufactured west of the Rocky Moun
tains was delivered yesterday by
the Oregon Linen Mills, Inc., to
four local stores. The linen is
strictly a Salem product, the flax
from which the textile comes hav
ing been grown within twenty
miles of the city'. Robert Martin,
of the Martin advertising firm,
purchased the first 12 yards of
the cloth from one of the stores.
The woven product came out of
the machines yesterday morning
and, fter the drying put process,
was wound on fifty yard bolts, all
the work being done by hand.
The linen is of a very good
iuality. probably superior to that
which will come out of the plant
later, according to It. O. Snelling,
manager. It has not been bleached
or finished, and retains the
strength which is lost when it
goes through these processes. Peo
ple who buy the linen from this
first lot of 5.000 yards, will find
it to last for a lifetime, said Mr.
Suelling.
The weaving was done by learn
ers, and nearly all the processes
which the cloth went through
were in the experimental stage.
When the public indicates what it
wants along this line, the plant
will be in a position to put it out,
asserted Mr. Snelling.
A special yarn also was recent
ly produced by the mills which
when put through the twister at
the Miles1 company became a sack
ing twine of exceptional merit.
There is a wide market for goods
of this kind, H is said.

This already has been suggest

two countries no longer are divid
