An Opportunity
The Willamette valley, because of climatic advantages, has
the opportunity to develop a Treat textile industry and
become one of the world's greatest producers and manu
facturers of linen and flax fabrics. Every effort should be
made locally to encourage the growing of fibre and to
finance the factories.
The propositi being formulated by R. N. Sanson, linen
manufacturer of 'ioronto, Canada, and Lockport, New York,
for a $GOO,000 mill to utilize the product of 5,000 acres of
flax, employing 400 spindles
ment to 2G0 and more persons,
only the various communities
financing, but Portland as well.
Linen mills will insure a
and payrolls for the cities. Once established, the industry
will grow rapidly and the communities with it. It is therefore
to the interest of all to assist
Last of the Barons
Death of Earl Curzon of Keddlestone, after a career of
forty years in politics, removes one of the best types of
England's vanishing "ruling class". An aristocrat of the
aristocrats, he was among the most resourceful and
competent of statesmen.
It was men like Curzon that created the British empire,
highly educated and able aristocrats, removed from ordinary
cares of life by great wealth, who gave freely of their service
in peace and war for the country; their devotion, honor and
loyalty unquestioned.
Curzon was typical of his
courtesy and self assurance of those who consider themselves
chosen of the Lord to do the thinking for their countrymen.
The reforms he instituted in India and his record in Parlia
ment, and in the ministry stamp him among the ablest men
of his time.
Curzon attained every honor he desired, except that of
becoming prime minister, for he-outlived the day when peers
lire chosen premiers. The old order passcth, engulfed by the
rising tide of democracy and the former viceroy was about
the last ol the barons.
