Coos County Sheep Killed by Coyotes MARSHFIELD, Aug. 13. Many ranchers who raise sheep are complain ing of losses due to coyottes.- Several years ago theHe pests were scarcely known In Coos County, but recently shcep raisers of both Curry and Coos counties have suffered.

Linen and war previously had been associated only In the shape of band ages, but the development of the air plane changed all that- Not even after the war had gone on tor some time did the authorities of any coun try realise that linen wag an essen tial fabric in the turning out of effi cient air machines. The Royal Fly ing corps of the r.avy and army were tho first to discover hat lljen was the. hem material for airplane wings. and In 1915 the whole product of the Irish factories was commandeered. The demand grew enormously o air craft production expanded, and mil lions of yards were called for, prac tically unlimited orders going to Ire land, all weaving for other purposes being stnped. The result Is that out side of (ireat Hi italn there is prac- , tically no linen cloth at all. France I and Italy are clamoring ror u ami Germany presen;s a vast marKet. sn has no linen. MimniimiIv on Hit. Last year the government took the further step of buying up. for 60 million dollars, the whole Irish crop of flax, the acreage of which had been greatly extended as no flax was coming from Russia. This price worked out at about $2000 per acre, whereas -tho normal figure was $11. Tim Rritlsh government, in fact, had a monopoly of the world's flax, for ! Russia, having gone noisneviK. urn not count. It also spent more than; l 1-4 million dollars on trying to cul-i !tlvate flax In Yorkshire, but the ex-j i periment was not a success. j I linen Hatllwlilp Cable Mr. Martin Is now in possession of the whole woven output of the Irish j I mills and stuffs produced elsewhere, i It was made to certain specifications. land Is probably the strongest fabric made, capable ir laaen rrmn m j loom and used as a cable, of holding ( a battleship. It is unbleached, but j can be used for dresses, sheets, ta- , hie linen and underclothes, and is j more enduring than cotton. ! If Mr. Martin sells his holdings at j seven seventy-five cents a yard he will make a gross profit of 10 million , dollars. What the cloth has cost the government Is rot known. A Hel fast manufacturer put It at nearly $1 per yard at tho very lowest estimate. Iteirnst linen makers will be serl- , ously affected hy this deal. Till Mr. ; Martin has disposed of it they will ; probably hhive to shut down their j mills. He makes no effort to disguise I the fact that he can undersell them I In any market. Tt will also prove dls- , ostrmis to the cotton trade, for the ( I finer grades of fabric cannot be had i owing to the present price of cotton. t in linen. I sent, nor until there accumulates In government the grain corporation's hands a suffi cient reserve of wheat to assure a mea sure of protection for future home re quirements. In accordance with this policy the wheat director Is refusing proffered contracts which foreign buyers are desirous of making at the grain cor poration price level, these buyers be ing apparently anxious to cover their requirements for some months in ad vance. Apparently their inability to secure supplies In other sources of wheat makes them especially urgent in proposing contracts with the United States, but these contracts cannot be entered into until a sufficient accu mulation of wheat in the hands of the grain corporation furinshes assurance of reasonable prices to our own people.
