Oregon Flax for Fibre.
For sorao lime past we li.ivo mado monllon
of the enterprise of Messrs. Jes?e Parriau
and Chas. Miller, two well-to-do and onerRot
ic farmera living near Jefletfcon, numbered
among our best citizens, who havo devoted
much time and capital, as well as tho use of
a large pody of valuable land on their farms,
which are contiguous, to the culluro of Max
of tho Dutch variety, best calculated for fiber.
Wo had a call from Mr. Miller the past
week who furnlshoo us with valuablo Items
confirming their succoss lu this important
branch of production. Theso gentlemen
havo raisod two large crop3 of roinarkable
excellence, which was established by the
award of a medal at the Centonnial, to their
product.
We are glad to loarn that they have dis
posed of their lint, for they have manufac
tured It themsolvos at a very satisfactory
price; ?300. a ton, which Is 15 cents por lb.
to Mr. Crane, who has located at San Fran
cisco, to engage in tho manufacture of twino,
thread otc. They have to refute au offer for
10 tons toboshlppodto Dundeo, Scotland, for
the reason that their stock Is all pre-engagod.
Their flax mill is now turning out 300 pounds
of lint p;r day and thoy fool every encour
agement lo continue the buslnoss on a large
.'calo, Mr. Crane, of San Francisco, pro
nouuecs their lint a first-rate urticlu.
Fifty pounds of their flax was fihlpped to
Dundee, Scotland, through tho agency of
Mr. Win. Hold, Portland, whero it was man
ufactured into linen and pronounced by tho
manufacturers as good as any in tho world.
ThoHimo company that worltbrt up thlssam
plo and niado this report, wroto lo Mr.
flold that they would soud machinery hero
to manufacture Ilnou, provided they could
bo supplied with sufficient lint to run the first
year. All theso facts combino to show that
Fax flbercan bo niado a leading industry in
Orogon and load to tho establishment of im
portant manufacturing Interests in this
Slate.
Mr. Mlllor also informs us thata company
is organizing in Now York State for tho pur
pose of Bonding an agont to Oregon to soouro
tho raising of llax fiber to be pent back Kwt
and supply factories thoro. Thoso who are
engaged lu manufacturing flax liioro think
there is no such flax raisod any whoro as they
navo rocoivnd from Oregon. Wo have theu,
what scorns certain to prove a permanent
paying product that our farmers can depend
upon lor chaugo of crops, aud which can be
mauulacturod Into lint here, and will event
ually lead to tho establishment of linen fao
tules in Orogon. The permanence of this
production aud manufacture eau bo judged
from tho history of flax-culture and linon
inAuufacturo fora hundred yoars past in the
north oriieland, whore groat cities and Im
meiifco manufactories havo grown up, per
manently sustained by tho successful culti
vation of llax in tho aurroundlng couutry,
which cultivation and manufacture havo
been a source aud moann of lasting wealth
and prosperity. We pos.soHi at least c'iimI
facilities lor growth and manufacture and
can theroforo count on equally successful re
sults. SUMMING UP THE CASE.
Wo sliull bo as brier as possible lu reply
ing to tho answer Mr. Garrelson makes to
our charges iitndo against him two weeks
ago.
In relation to the resolution passod by tho
Suite Orange, that we than published, which
was passed almost at tho momoutof dissolu
tion and at a tiiao of general coufuslon, wo
havo tho ussurauoo of members present that
it would never havo passed If submitted to a
voto when It could havo received caroful at
tention, uml its Imptlvd relhvtlou on tho
FAiiMint havo boon understood. No sensible
man will doubt that Gurrcteou was the leal
author or tho resolution.
(Uriutson publishes tho circular issued by
tho State tlranco Kxocutlvo Coinmllteo of
Ion a vthou ho roslgued. It Is notdontod by
him that his resignation Mas i( the lujuest
the vummittee. When thoy hocuted his res
igcatlon the Committee g'iu him a plensunl
send-i.il', It Hoem , though 110110 tho less glad
to get rid of him.
Ho publishes it favorable nolicoof liitiuolf
from it partisan political Journal of Ioa.
Tho l'atroiw of Oregon will inquire why all

Iowa and his hclitiiio to fuico an " organ "

why Is that paper not Ins trlcml? It tun no

Is It that w urn informed by good oiiUsus
and l'Atnuti toro, that iiou'-iximom from
Iowa to Oregon olten give them niilaotnblt
ucciuints of (tirulkou's oonneoiion with the
tiraugo in Iowa?
Tho following paragraph iromaproiulneut
1 Ml ron lu Iowa looks very much io us as if
Mr. liarretnou'N tUvotvo was gotten under
dikgracoful firouiiutaiices, aud kw further
with us than a letter of condolence ftom tl-e
Judge whoijinutdi theiliroiee.
" I am told, by good authority, who exam
ined the records, that he got a divorce on tho
1: round ol Inhuman cruelly ' on tho part of
his wife. Old neighbor spcuk of Mrs. U. as
Sflftfc-s? 5s isrwwK"tiXii?5
1V ' VSiry U "fr"- ir,c
a most ostlmable lady, and I have no doubt,
Indeed I know, the separation was by mu
tual consent, and with an agreed division of
property; that is, that Mrs. G. pormitted
this charge to Aland so as to get rid of the old
fellow."
Tho letter from his daughtor Mr. G. an
swers by a letter from a son, written four
months after the farmer. Mr. Garretson
had time to secure a copy of the daughter's
letter, for his friends bore at one time had tho
original in their possession, and the copy we
havo we permitted any of his friends to take
who wished, and no doubt tho son's lotter
was written at his suggestion; it Is even pos
sible that he prepared the letter himself and
sent it back lo his son to have it transmitted
to Mr. Itlckey, or how could that son have
hoard of his sister's lotter, or of Mr. T. B.
Itlckey, for tho girl's lotter was simply ad
drossed to an unknown person, the post
master at Salem.
It is rather difficult to believo that the
daughter's letter was written from mere
malice and to " black-mall " tho father. It
was a spontaneous and pathetic production,
written to a (.trangor, simply asking for in
formation of a sister and two brothers, nar
rating facts to enlist this stranger's sympa
thy, and with no certainty that it wonld
acquire notoriety. The son 's lotter is a care
fully premeditated answer. The fact re
mains that Garietson has a &on who contro
verts the etatomontof his Bister, whlsh we
never knew until tho letter was published
iu ho Cultivator, as Mr. Itlckey says ho
neglected to call our attention to it.
Mr. Rickey knew (hat we retained a copy
of thoyoung lady's letter and that wo occa
sionally showed it to prominent Patrons and
the following note answers tho Cultivaior'3
charge that wo have acted dishonorably to
Mr. Itlckey:
Samsm, On., Nov. 10, 1678.
Kn. FARMiin: While it la Hue that the
letter Irani Mihs Garretson was publlshid
by you without mv knowledge or consent. I
recognize that the inlliuito friendly relations
that have so long, existed between us war
ranted you in the belief that I would not
object to your using a paper that came to me
iiijso public a wi.y, wlmoutaiiy rrnervatioiiH
ou-tnepurt of the writer, or injunctions of
secrecy. T. B.Hicicssr.
A short time before the meeting of tho last
Stato Grango we learned that Garretson was
iutendiug to bocoiao tho origan of the order,
souio way or other, when it mot. We bad
previously had business correspondence
with people who knew hit 1 in Iowa, in the
courHe of. which one correspondent, who is
"within the ijateR" tbero, and has an Intimate
know-lodge of Grungo matters, inado the fol
lowing rotnark:
"OfBro. Garretson 'a movements co stand
ing I do- not wish to expros3 any opinion;
the pooplo or Ozeeou are sharp onough to
understand him when onca woll acquainted
with him as wo are here."
That was just after the issue of theoelebrat-
ed "crack of the whip" circular, a joar ago,
which was bo effectually demolished by Mr.
John Mlnto. Considering it well to be post
ed as to the antecedents of such an. aspirant,
we requestor information of the writer,
and received it, giving Garretsou tho reputa
tion we have lately attributed to him. Wo
hars Rover wrilton to any othor until last
September, when, hearing that his schetnea
wore to be pushed when the Stato Grange
met, wo wroto to ono of tho highest Grango
officials In Iowa, whose private letters to
Grange olllclala in Oregon we had heard of
but wore not ut liberty to use, aud received
tho following answer:
"As I am now Informed you are alroady
In possession of sulllcicnt facts to answer
your purpose (learning that you havo cor-
resnondeuco not only with Uio. , but
also with a daughter of tho man alluded to
in your letter of inquiry), I must decline go
ing I11U) particulars. I think the master of
your Stato Grauge is well posted and will
not allow auy undue influences to work
against you."
Kvideully our former correspondent and
tho writer of tho last were in Intlmato rela
tions, aud aa wo had sent tho former Infor
mation of the Miss Qarrotson lottor a copy
If we remember aright how could we fail to
accept tho above lotter as a virtual endorse
ment of what the other two had written.
Ah to underhanded secrecy on our put.
From tho drat wo havo shown this corres
pondence to thoso we know to be GarraUou's
particular friends, aud havo always assured
them that whenevor ho should achicvo his
Intention of obtdluiug locogulttou from tho
Slalo Grango the iacU woul I ba mado pub
lic. Ho heard of this corro.s;'otidcmo3 and
has vrl;ton a pitiful letter to tho author
who has hi formed us if the fact, adding that
ho had "not 0110 singlo word to take back or
qualify."
That wo fought aid from Garretiou three
years ago to obtain admission to the Qrango,
Is simply n lie.
A year ago, when coming to Oipgou, alter
convor&iuioii with Mr. Dan. Clark, who saw
the advautago of having 0110 papor only to
represent the agricultural Interests, Garret
son oauio to sua us, and discussed in a pleas
ant manner, the ways lu whldi it consolida
tion cou.d bo offoctod. lie professed himself
siUlsllod that consolidation ought to ba effect
ed, mUI ha would do what ho coull to Hl'jct
it, aud oipio-sed himself satisfied with a
product of being traveling agent and cor
rcp mdetit of this paper. All that was douo
was through tho kindly Miggestlon aud in
tervention of Master Dan. Clark, who will
boar out our assertions. Ho also kuows that
GairolMin t-ald that ho much preftrredto
live in Sale m to livlug lu Albany, a com
pliment his Albany friouds will appreciate.
UissUtomeut that we "besieged him not to
eonio to Albany but to tako hold with him
aud assUt him In running tho Faumuh,'' W
false. Wo did toll him that wo had no use
for his services lu tho office, if ho would
work for nothing, and could only use him as
travfllug correspondent.
Hit hitvH wo ''hve resorted to every strata
gout to got Into the Grange." Which i n
alHunliiablo lie. Olio of tint most lionoit-l
aud respected men In MjiIuu cuiiuty, mate
an application for onr admission lo Salem
Grange one year ago, knowing we would ap
prove, but without cur kaowledgo at the
time. Many have informed us that the ap
plication was warmljr supported by nearly
every Influential gentleman connected with
that Grange: as It only requires three dis
senting votes , It was not difficult for friends
of tho Cultivator's new editor to keep us
"outside the gates," 10 as to leave the field
clear for their favorite. Our friends in the
Ordor may now perceive why ws havo a
right lo show up tho antecedents of this man
Garretson.
Thoso who fsel interested can call ot this
oOico and examine the correspondence we
havo alluded to, for themselves.
Garretson concludes his defence, as we ox
pectod from a man offcuch antecedents, with
low, personal abuso of the editor of this
paper, ills position called for dlgnlSed
reply, for ho knew tbat his real assailants
were members of his own family and lormer
grango associates back in Iowa. The fact
tbat ho is able in this correction to descend
to low-flung abuse of an antagonist will not
satisfy the public that demands a thorough
vindication at his hands.
Counting UnhatchedV Chickens.
Ifow easy Garretson thought it would bo
for him to manipulate the grange and kill off'
the WiLLiifliKTTn Fakmeu, by tho aid of the
profits of the Stato Printing, is amusingly
illustrated by an incident that occurred only
last week. Wo received a call from an
entire stranger, a young man named Beatty,
who it seems came across the continent in
the train that Garretson did. Having road
our notice of that Individual Sir. Beafty call
ed to get a copy of tho papar, and montion
od that Garretsou told htm on the Journey
that ho was going to edit a newspaper in
Albany for awhile and then would move to
Salem and conduct a papor there, which he
thought could foou be bought nut. Mr.
Bc.tlty does not recollect the name of tho
pipor here Sanetson felt ao confident of
gntllug possession of, but thinks it tho Faii
Faiimuk. This information wad given us vol
untarily by an entire stranger and shows
that thn schemes of Garretson included the
destruction of this paper and' the abandon
ment of his-backers at Albany. Slnco tho
time when the milkmaid's calculations were
upset just ao slid had concluded that green
suited her comploxlou best, we know of no
greater failure in counting chickens before
they were hatched than Garretson has met
with. The Farmer has moro subscribers
than it had ono year ago and stands on a
more permanent basis than ever.
