Miles, president of the new twine and linen factory here, has ex; tressed sumo concern over the possibility of not receiv ing a sufficient amount of flax to handle the situation during the first vear, and has asked that growers be reminded of the ne cessity of supporting the home In stitution up tu the capacity of the plant. It Is estimated that the local plant will require 2000 acres of l lax and up tu date 1150 acres have beim signed up, according to fig ures received from Warden Dairy in lo of tho st.ite penitentiary. There Is no question that In cer tain districts farmers havo been hanging ba"k waiting for the prop osition P. K. Thomas may havo to put up for them for tho Starling plant which is talked about at Vancouver. Attention is called to the fact that ihe Starling plant his not yet been built a;d that it is material ly different from the Salem plan!, as the Vancouver outfit Is a stock selling proposition while tho Salem plant has the money all .subscribed, t ho machinery bought, the site bought, nnd will have its build logs erecl",i ns soon as contracts can be awarded and the work done. While rosy things have been re ported ab-ut the Starling plant, those familiar with starling's prop ositions here say there Is no defin ite assuriuce yet that the Starling plant will be constructed. Starlinj; put up a pure stock propositi. m here, offering one lo cal bustne.-w man $2,(HM In stock In the phuit, !f he would lend his assistance to Its promotion. The business man refused. Starling wanted to have a company here capitalized at $(100,000 with the community putting up Ihe main share of sto.-k. The Ktarilng idea was to start off with a bang, put ting up a big proposition nnd go ing Into the game strong. The Miles bleu has been to start on a Mnall basts an I expand as the busi ness -lexeloped and warranted ex pannn an.! that is the Idea being carried out bv the Salem nl.mt The S'tlem plant figures employing .mi iieooic hi tno start, mo Starling Vancouver boosters have been talk lug about st i-tl'ig off with 2000 people. Some local men are so un kind io say that the Miles plant wilt bo operating with nearer 2000 people when the Sinning scheme is forgotten. At nny rate, local nennle nre pressing no objection to farmers signing nn in the Vancouver pool tf thev wish. All that they urge Is that a sufficient aereaiie be as sured the Salem plant for Its first years operation. If that Im ,.r- cd no one Is protesting against v, iiu ii acres Pel no- utirne.l aroun.l Silem with the Vancouver Pian: u inev want It. HARE AND EDDY TO DRAFT CLEAVER REPORT Ren a tors Ilnm nnd v.i.tv k.... been anno! n ted hv rhiirm.n liartand a a n"'commlt tee of tbe joint special committee Investigating- the atate prohibition de oar t men t In rnrnniU I K.

Tha commlttes held an executive session last nifrht and found Its Ideas no divergent that It waa ImrwvMlhl in i in. get her. It l said that one report sou muted xor the general com mutes a conaideral-lon last night was ton drastic and th nth. WM not drastic enough. Robert Wilcox, formerly district manager of Ll'iby, McNeil & Llbby who is a frequent visitor to Salem this year and Is now superinten dent of the canneries at Newberg nnd Lebanon for Die Davidson in terests states that both of the;e plants will be run to capacity this year, so m e t n i n g t na t t tiey no ve not been doing for the past three years. H. F. Davidson Is now In the ojiHt putting up his fences there. He has established his family at Newberg and will reside there. Tho acquisition of Wilcox by Davidson, according to local can ners, means that the Lebanon and Newberg plants will be big factors in the field, as Wilcox is known as one of the big fruit men In the northwest. Wilcix is well known here where he came on frequent buying trips for the Llbby canner ies at Tho Dalles. CUCUMBERS HAY BE POOLED A matter of inrerest to local farmers Is the rumor coming from Portland that the Sterling Pro ducts company, which has been a subsidiary to Wad hams & Kerr. Is about to be eold tn other parties who plan to operate It independ ently as a pickle and syrup produc ing factory. This company last year took nil of the cucumbers which were handled out of Salem for pickling purposes and ft Is barely possihk another cucumber pool may be at tempted here this year. The pool was not a howling success last year because of the dry season, but in a few localities tn this section cucumbers did fairly well. Speaking of cucumbers It Is re ported that 1 ; 0 acres of them have been signed tip in the Molalla sec tion for pickling purpsf, and as reported recently Woodburn sec tion will handle a large amount of them this year thiough the Oregon racklmr company. 'ihe Molalla section Is said to be developing rapidly ns a fruit center. with Kreat potential possibilities In that line. Fremont, Neb., Feb. 11 Earl Holt, J7. who was found wander ing about streets of Fremont, pen niless and eating raw corn for sus tenance, police say, h.is been Iden tified as a member of a prominent southern family of Reidsvllle. N. C. A brother, C. W. Holt, haa ar rived here taking charge of hi brother preparatoiy to taking him to his horns in Keidsvllls. According to C. W. Holt, Eni I was head of a number ot larg textlts mills and business worries affected his mind to such an ex tent that hs became a victim of amnesia about seven months ago and disappeared from his horns. In Fremont, broken tn health and without fiinda, hs declarsd himself too proud to beg and. ac cording to police, hs was found living from corn hs took from the talks In ths fields. ' Rumors coming up to Salem are to the effect that the Clackamas County Canning association oper ating canneries at Carver and Can by Is not fully decided as to wheih er the can'icios will be operated this yenr, and the matter is caus ing almost as much discussion in the communities as the marriage of school teacher and pa pi I which upset them several weeks ago. Peake, who was the guhl;ng genius in getting the canneries un der way and acted in a managerial capacity, is said to be out of the proposition because of friction in the board of directors. The under lyUtH caue of the difficulty Is said to have been too many promises and slow fulfillment which caofced growers to become restless and a general dissatisfaction to spread around among those Interested. A consider 1'ole quantity of fruit is handled in the Can by and Car ver section which would have to go elsewhere if the cannerbs fail to function this year. !0 ill! BE ASKED BY Whllo John McNary, attorney for the Phez compaiiy In the cases once more decided by the supreme court, this time for the growers, statea that he does not know what will be the nexi move in tiie legal gamo which has been going on for years, representatives of the Salem Fruit Union and loganberry grow ers today were figuring out the salvage under the latest decision. While beiore the decision was handed down, and under the terms of the previous supreme court de cision, the Salem Fruit Union had been virtually wiped off the map, its largest asset, the building at Trade and High streets, held in yawn, and growers standing to lose $123,000 if judgment could be en forced, today they find themselves apparently sitting on top of the world. Definite figures are not yet ob tainable but the 10 cent a crate penalty imposed on the fruit union probably will not exceed $10,000, which the union will be able to pay. It Is stated, and the building kept for tiie stockholders. Under the former decision the building undoubtedly would have found its way into the pot as an asset of the Northwest Fruit Products com pany, successor to the Phez and Loju companies. Under the old decision the dam ages against growers amounting to $1,230,000 could not have been met by the growers, this Is admitted on all snles, ami In that eventually all that the growers could not pay, would have come out of the Salem Fruit union. This Is what would have eaten up all of the assets of the union. So far none of the growers paid. A few of them did not Join in on the last appeal to the supreme court and executions were secur ed against these growers, but they had nothing on which to enforce the executions. It la considered extremely like ly that a rehearing will be asked by the l'hez company representa tives, and efforts made to have all the litigation re-opened.
