That would have been considered a wild statement a few years ago, but it is coming true-and there will not be acres enough in all the vast reaches of twestern Oregon and Wash ington and a small part of northern California to grow the flax to make the linens the world will demand. Confirming the above vision, you are invited to read the leading article on the Slogan pages of this morning, written by Col. W. B. Bartram. He" recites a number, of conditions that make certain the foundation for the, belief that the Sa lem district is to become a great flax and linen center, among them is this significant fact: Flax is soon to be a "price seller.

Beaty said Fall told him he bad a proposition from Sinclair "that waa satisfactory." The witness later urged Fall to hold off a final decision, but the lease to Sinclair was executed. He added that thsJ first he knew of the leasing was when he read about it In the newspapers. Detailing his conferences wi.h the Interior secretary about Tea yut xuuie, x ran Hi. lustier, a western oil operator, and presi dent of the Producers and Re finers corporation, said Fall told him In March. 1922, that he had not determined what he would do about Teapot Dome; that he was not men reaay to consider pro posals for a lease and that If he did get ready, he would notify Kistler. The witness said he never heard any more from Fall, but did read in the newspapers that Sinclair had obtained the lease.
