Mr. Cllbralth tour years ago took charge aa manager of the Miles Linen company's plant, on Tatrgrennds avenue, west of the Salem Linen Mills plant. He as uraed his duties at a time when the Milea mill was mahkicg no nroflt. and little progreess towards attaining the stageoC profitable operation. It has since been ran ting at a profit, and a nnmber of important Improvements and ad- ditlons hare been made. It Is going under a 24-hour schedule, with or dera ahead to maintain that sched ule until April of next year, turn inr nnt ihaA and harness threads. rth npt and other twines, etc The f "Illes plant employs a force of j over 75 people. f ; ' .'. , As was stated In the news col- f unans of .The Statesman or me 10th. the Salem milt was already operating at a profit, and there Is every prospect taat a great deal ;ettter showing Will bo made with the new looms working. There "a an improved market for linen goods throughput the country, and there fa no question but there will be a ateady demand for the output of woven, fabric on this coast.; while the eastern demand for yarns is growing. Linen L "In style now. making for an improv ed market demand. Salem is to bo congratulated upon the showing and the progress here made.It means enlarged pay rolls 1 throughout , t h e year; throughout the years with en couragement for flax growing and the .processing of it up to the fiber stage. Specialty Mill . Mny Come Later ; It means also the possibility j the probability of securing spe-j cialty mills, employing much more labor than "the primary ones. There are oyer 10 articles oi commerce made in whole or In part from flax products.! As soon as yarns can be guaranteed tn suf ficient and steady supply, there will surely he proposals for some factories making special articles to be established here. And. no doubt, some for making up linen fabrics to be sold in manufactured form. i 1 . . The beginnings had to be made oa the land In producing fiber flax. The processing of it had to e first assured. These stages are !ar enough along to assure quality fiber, with, proper) cultural meth ods and treatment.: Now. with the two Salem linen mills, the yarn stage is all but stabilized; ready for great expan sion. The picture will be complete with some primary improTements looking to certain fiber quality, with the growth of the supply of spinning yarn, and with the coming- of the specialty mills. Then nho long Tisloned hundred mlllion dallar linen Industry for the Wil lamette valley will be well on Its way. : " ' . . Thirteen Sign For High Deck .

Because of lack of the required charter amendment, a similar plan which has! 1 been discussed In the city forj some years has never been put; into effect. ; i. 1 ! At the last council meeting.

Method Outlined To Form Districts According to the provisions ot the amendment, property dwners desiring ! to form a district shall submit to the city council! a pe tition describing the type ot lghts desired, which the council would refer to the city planalng and soning commission for ap proval as to type, in order tnac some sort of uniformity culd be maintained in the type of ! ltgnts used over the city. oojecung property holders in the proposed district would nave tuo rignt i miter a remonstrating petition. Contrarr to manner of iniuat- ing street improvements, me cuy council would have the right to make the final decision tor or ae-xinat a oroDOsed lighting dis trict, regardless of the number of property owners favoraoie or om erwise to the plan. It is manda tory upon the council to approve street improvements if a major ity of the property noiaera tavor them. Bond Issues Would Finance Projects j The lighting district improve ments, which might bo for as lit- U oa nnck Rio A Of a Single DIOCK, would be financed by bonding the benefitted property owners un der the eeneral lien dockets of the city, the assessments! being naid in annual Installments. The bonds would be issued and .be come general obligations jot the city with the property within mo district as security. The touncll would be required to advertise in a local newspaper for five days its fntftfitlon to orzanizo a district and make the petitioned impreve- ment. - . , ; , ; . . -. . .. , Althoagk the! people ''will 'rote oa the amendment, only property holders in the lighting improve meat districts organized would be placed under any added financial burden. . - MORE BOOKSPC E Although . two new double- faced book "stacks" have been Installed in the city library dur ing the past week, the place will still be cramped for shelf-space, according to Miss Maud E.
