PAGE EIGHT PLAN TO HAVE PLANT READY NEXT SEASON (Continued from Page One's the new board of directors fm mediately following their election will be to enter Into contracts with farmers for the next year'a crop o flax. It la the plan, as now ex pressed, to give preference to far mers who are stockholders In the mill. AUo contracts will be given far afl possible to farmers who havo land beat adapted to the growing of high-claw flax. Another early movo o the board of directors will be toward the se lection of the elte for the new mill, This is a matter causing numerous inqulrlei. It can be safely eald at this time, that no slto will be elected, until Mr. Berry, who will ' be manager of the now mill arrives from Canada and inikea a thor ough examination of all of the alt! offered for the mill. There 1h little nucstlon that tho HOlocli of tho slto will rest largoly In hl Judgment. While tho purchaso of thn filtA will llo entirely in the hands of the board of directors, those doenlv Interested In the mill declaro that the mill slto will be selected purely and solely nrnnnslllnn Of the 8lt0 Which IS most advantageous for tho opera tion of the mill, and report that efforts would be mado to land the site to put over a land deal are tirniv without foundation. Mr. Berrv hnn had over 30 years ex pcrlenco In practicnl linen manu facture In Canada and heavy Btockholders state that ho Is log ically tho man to detormino upon the site, tho location to De ueiurm lncd according to the site's fitness for tho mill's purposes. Look For Machinery Col. W. B. Bartrum Is now on hto way to Canada to determine ynrtlv tho nrlce of tho machinery necessary for tho new mill and will bo back In Salem witn nis repon In time for tho first stockholders' meeting. Under the articles of Incorpora tion tho capital stock of $040,000 la divided into 6000 share of pre ferred Btock at $100 a share, or fAfin .000. and 140.000 worlll of common Block at $100 a share. The preferred atock hi to carry 7 per cent lnttrest, dividends for a payment of Interest on preferred atock to accumulate and bo paid before dividends arc declared on common stock. Tho corporation is to havo tho right and option to retlro preferred atock or nny part of It at any time after five years from the date of organization at $105 per aharo, plus accumulated dividends. The preferred stock so retired Is to be selected by lot from the entire lasue. Tho subscription campaign In Portland for Its quota of stock has been advancing, although some what slowly, but a substantial block of stock has been subscribed thero and buBinesa men In charge of tho aulwcriptiona say that the balance will bo surely forthcoming and that tho commlttco does not Intend to discontinue Ita labor toward securing tho quota until it la forthcoming. Hvo Chniico To Snvo Tho Salem committee, In tho meantime, has been making some Investigations Into tho cost of ma chinery and general properties In relation to the operation of the mill, and havo ascertained that material saving can bo mndo from the original estimates. As ult It was determine 1 that noth ing iurther atood In tho way of rolnpr ahead Iwth tho Incor poration of the mill and taking actunl steps toward Its construc tion at tho earliest possible time. It was considered that any fur ther delay In the Incorporation might result In a into start next year, but under tho present plans there Is no doubt now that the mill can bo constructed, machin ery Installed, and evory thing In actual operation In plenty of time for the 192)1 harvest, ao that far mers under contract will have their flax Immediately taken off their hands and nt the same time the mill will bo ready to Immed iately start In on the manufacture of linen. To Make Uncus Tho plan Is for tho mill at the first jump to start tho manufacture of a high grade of linen, a type which already hna a widely estab lished market In tho United States, but which can bo manufactured here without, any competition whatsoever In the United States as far as manufacture Is concerned. On top of that tho linen will be protected by a 65 per cent nd va lorem duty against foreign compe tition, which will plnco the pro duct from tho linen mill virtually Sitting on top of the world. According to Mr. 8annon, pro moter of tho Balem project, hlin aelf a Canndlon manufacturer of many years experience, and a $68. 000 aubscrlber to tho Salem mill, 260 men will be employed In the local mill on an eight hour ehl't when It starts In operation. A ti hour ahlft would employ three times that number. All of tho labor In tho new mill will be drawn from Salem resi dents, with the exception of the, killed hands, auch as auperln nndcnti. foremen, export machin ists and variouu experts, who will como from Canada, all of them men of long exporlenco In the manufacture of linen products.
