Committee At Session .
' Here Wednesday I
At a meeting of the board of di
rectors of the Oregon Linen Mills,
.Inc., yesterday afternoon, a good
deal of general, business was trans
acted; but the most Important step
was the providing of an executive
committee with power to act in
minor matters, in order to avoid
the calling of a special meeting
of the whole board. There is, how
ever, to be a meeting of the board
once a month. T. B. Kay, T. A.
Llvealey and -JDan J, Fry were
chosen asthe executive committee.
Affairs in Good Shape
Reports showed the affairs of
the company in good shape, and
improving ' each day. A substan
tial increase in output and net
profits was shown for July over
June.
Two full shifts are now being
.run in the mill. 41 to each shift,
ia addition to "some nine or ten
on the office j force and per
forming various other duties.
A v third shift lis to be put on
soon which will bring the total
number employed up to above
130. Ample profitable business is
in hand and in sight to keep three
shifts employed. Later, weaving
will be taken up. probably in
January, which will add largely to
the forces. '
Finances in Good Shape
The finances of the company are
in good shape. There are now
more bills receivable than debts,
and the notes and liquid assets
amount to four times the debts

hope has taken the place of dis
couragement that marked the
progress of the company in its
early stages, until Col. W. B.
Bartram took over the general
conduct of the plant, as managing
director, a few months ago.
The board decided upon contin
uing Colonel Bartram in general
charge, looking to his, permanent
employment, and to securing more
of his time as soon as this is
possible; his duties as superin
tendent of Industries at the peni
tentiary having up to the present
required more of his attention
than he will be obliged to devote
to them as more thorough organ
ization of the forces under his
direction there is effected; espe
cially during harvest time and the
Installing of new machinery in the

At Miles Mill
At the plant of the Miles Linen
company it has been decided to
build a concrete warehouse, of
modern construction. It will be 30

.ment will be used for the storing
'and. seasoning of flax fiber, and
the additional warehouse space
will be used for stornig the fin

y There has recently been finished
at the state flax plant, north of the

Salem Golf Club Course
To Be Read
Fall Under
Site Within Easy Access Of
Business Section In 5
Minutes Drive
Seeding of fairways and greens
for the first nine holes of the new
Salem Golf Club course, one mile
south of the city limits on River
side drive, will be started early
next week, at which time the
water system will be ready for
use in irrigating, it was announced
yesterday by Ercel Kay, president
of the club.
Work of clearing, plowing' and
grading the course and installing
the pump and pipe line to take
water from the river, has been
rushed with a view to getting, the
grass sown in time so that it
might be possible to play there
this fall. That will be possible
unless the fall rains begin too
early, Mr. Kay said. Graham
Sharkey is associated with Mr.
Kay in the task of building the
course.
Only the first nine holes, lying
close to the river, will be sown to
grass this summer, although the
entire IS fairways have been
cleared and plowed. The second
nine will be sown next spring.
Coarse Well Arranged
The course Is admirably ar
ranged, with every hole an inter
esting one to play, yet, none so
tricky as to discourage the novice.
Experienced golfers have declared
that for natural advantages of
soil, slope, and general lay of the
land, this course will be second
to none on the Pacific coast.
The land is an old river hottom,
with soil so fertile that perfect
turf Is assured.
Vernon Macan, who ranks
alongside Chandler Egan as the
leading golf course designer on
tbe coast, laid out the new course
here. He recently stated in a let
ter to Mr. Kay that he has never
seen a tract of land that combined
all of the desirable features for a
golf course so well as this one. It
offers opportunities for more'fea

are surrounded by trees, from
which the underbrush will be
cleared away as soon as possible.

Wading Pool -Water
Will
Be Changed
From a crvie asset which
children hailed with Joy and to
which local citizens "pointed
with pride," the new wading
pool In Marion Square, donated
to the city by Joseph H. Albert,
showed prospects of becoming a
nuisance less than a week after
it was opened.
Wednesday it was disclosed
that the water had not been re
newed since the pool was open
ed, and instead of being a clean
tank in which the children
could wade and splash with de
light, it had become a dark:
brown mudhole, so foul that the
children had come to avoid it,
probably at the direction of
their parents.
Interviewed Wednesday
. night, Homer H. Smith, chair
man of the park board, said
that the situation already had
been called to his attention,
and that steps to remedy it had
been started. v
The trouble began. Mr. Smith
said, when some of the children
using the pool turned on .the
water and filled it five or six
inches deeper than was contem
plated, so that the ; water
splashed over the edges and the
ground outside . the - concrete
walk which surrounds the pool,
became muddy; the "children
walked ia the mod and then
tracked it back into the pooL
Failure to change the water
was said to be due to the fact
that Herman Kluck. superin
tendent of parks, had not been
instructed as to the care of the '
wading pool, and this had not
Ueen done because the pool, al
though completed and in use,
had not formally been turned
over to the park board. -
Mr. - Smith gave assurance
that the pool will be cleaned
- immediately, -the water changed,
frequently and all' due ' care
taken to maintain sanitary con
ditions there in the future.

Judge Quoted
"If the court can interfere 4b
the instant case, what is to
