Flax Is Flax
Typical of the value of the weekly propaganda issued by
State Market Agent C. E. Spence to the farmer, is the bright
idea put forth to flax-growers under date of October 29, as
follows :
kv.w ft. ay T-iATJvr.TiNn MACHINE The Campbell ranch in
Montana la working out a system that might bo well worth whllo for
flax growors of the Willamette Valley to investigate, mat 01 iiuivuhl
Ing flax from the windrow by a combinod harvester-thresher that it
Is claimed will cut the cost from 18 to 6 cents per bushel.
Flax is flax to Mr. Snence it all looks alike to him and
he does not know that there are two entirely different
varieties the one grown in Oregon for fibre and the one
irrown in Montana for seed (linseed) and that the use of the
combined harvester-thrasher on Oregon flax would com-
nlntftlv dostrov its market value.
For the market master's benefit, it can be said that seed
flax is crown very largely as a breaking crop on the prairies,
It is sprawling and many branched, and usually harvested
with a header. From the seed, linseed oil is pressed and the
broken straw is used for upholstery tow and paper stock,
Fibre flax has much smaller seed, grown on a single stalk,
and the straw fibre is utilized for the manufacture of linen.
Isn't it fine for the taxpayer to pungle up $3,000 a year
and expenses for" such valuable advice as that put out
weekly by the erudite Mr. Spence, who presents weekly
solutions for the cure of the farmer's economic ills with the
same painstaking study and intelligence that he shows in
advising Oregon flax growers?
thinys for herself, neer will, and
f don't intend to have her learn
them. That Ib all; you may go now,
but bo more careful In the future."
Marie rose, her cheeks flushed
with resentment, but before she
could even turn toward the door
Herbert Lindsay spoke.
"Just a moment, please. Mbw
Lane," he said, rising. "You said
that Madeline made that cushion
for her dog. She did not make It
for me, as she said she did?"
No, sho shb didn't," Mario re-
idled, wishing that alio had not
mentioned tho cushion.
"I feel that Madeline's tendency
to exaggerate must be curbed,"
he went on, and his eyes begged
Mario to understand the situation,
and to realize that he did not agree
with his wife about their young
daughter. "It is likely to make dif
ficulties for her when she Is old-
If you can help us in over
coming this tendency of hera to be
untruthful both Mrs. Ltndflay and
win appreciate it."
Mario saw the storm tlouds were
gathering, from tho expression of
KatherJiio Lindsay's face. She
hardly knew what to say.
"I'm very sorry about letting
Madeline sow, Mrs. Lindsay," she
said, quietly. "I shan't do it again,
of course. And
She hnd intended to reply to
Herbert Lindaay'a remark, but'hls
wife gave her no opportunity to do
so.
Very well; Just be careful In
the future," Mrs. Lindsay answered
and turning her back began to dis
cuss their engagements for the eve
ning with her husband.
Mario left the room with a mur
mured "CJood evening," to which
only Herbert Lindsay replied, and
walked through the rain . to her
hotel. She meant to spend her first
free day in finding a room in
cheaper quarters.
She had written a note to Caro
line Phillips and Ellen Jamison
the evening before, telling them
that she was going to look for a
position and wanted to give them
What's In a Name?
Says that interesting and brilliantly conducted journal of
the metropolis, the Portland Spectator:
Tho Onnitnl Journal moves that tho nanlo ot tho sl.ito capital bo
chanKcd from Salom to Cuemotekn. That's' a capital Idea, aul Tho
Spectator will second tho motion, If tho Capital Journal will tell us
how Chcllietoha should be pronounced.
The esteemel Spectator errs. The Capital Journal sug
gested that the name of Salem be changed to that of the
ancient 'village that for centuries occupied the site,
Chemeketa, not Chemeteka, because there are 27 Salems in as
many states and the name has no special historical associ
ations and is not in any sense original or distinctive of Oregon.
What's in a name? Advertising. The fact that Oregon
. papers cannot get the name Chemeketa straight or even
pronounce it correctly, shows the potential possibilities of the
publicity to be secured by adopting it. When the Oregon
papers pass around funny and facetious paragraphs about
Chemeketa, as they are doing, and crack jokes about it being
necessary to sneeze and wheeze to pronounce the word, one
can imagine the millions of dollars worth of free publicity
that would be assured in the nation at large when the joke
smiths get busy. Such comment was worth millions to
Henry Ford and would be equally advantageous to Salem.
The Capital Journal stresses the commercial advantages to
be secured by a change of name simply because every city in
the land, including our own, is raising and spending money
to secure publicity, but the sentimental and practical
advantages of a change of name from Salem to Chemeneta
are equally obvious.

found a long telegram from Caro
line. "Please accopt Invitation " to
spend winter abroad with me;
can't bear to think of your work
luff. Will give you best of references
but hope you won't find anything
to do," It ran. Marie smiled as
she rd It. How furious Caroline
would be If she know of Mrs.
Lindsay's arrogance.
Alarie was very tired; the day
had been a trial to her, although
she bad really enjoyed being with
Madeline She had a hot bath and
curled up in bed with her din

Duelling In the West
If men ever engaged in duelling
in the Oregon country, history does
not record it, but, curiously enough
tho legislature of the Provisional
Government, in 1845, thought it
necessary to pass a law against the
practice. The enactment came
about at tho Instance of Dr. Eli
jah White. It seems that he had
had some words with a fiery and
apparently courageous character
by the name of Holrterness, and
that tho peppery one had let It be
known that he intended to call
White to account upon tho 'field
of honor.'
This did not suit White at all,
and so he rushed around and got
Into touch with Jesso Applegate,
early-day legislator. Informing the
latter of the probability of an im
minent shooting scrape. Applegato
then did some rushing on his own
account, and made a creditable
sprint for the houso where the
solons were sitting. He entered.
:ind Immediately moved that the
ules be auspended bo that ho could
introduce a bill. The surprised
law-makers, thinking that there
must be a reason for lmmediato
action, voted for the bill against
duelling ana In almost less time
than it takes to tell of it, tho law
was In operation. It applied to the
whole of the west district then con
trolled by tho Provisional Govern
ment of Oregon,

Ross Cox on the North Pacific
coast make tho best of reading. By
reason of tho glowing accounts ho
lad hjard nf the Culumbia river
district, and the case with which
fortunes could be accumulated
Ihore, this young New Yorker in
October, 1811, took employment as
clerk with John Jacob Astor's Pa
clflc Fur company, nnd was sent
on board the ship, Beaver, to Fort
Astoria. He was on tho ocean alx
months and six weeks, arriving at
tho fort on tho Columbia, May
tenth, 1812.
Cjk remainod In the Columbia
river district for six years. He was
up and down tho river more than
eighteen times, and did not leave
tho Pacific coast until April, 1817.
When, by reason 6f the war of
1812, the Astor project ended In
failure, Cox allied himself with
the Northwesters. Whllo he work

he was associated with such his
toric characters as McICenzie, Mc
Dougal, Farnham, Pillet, Seton,
Itofls, Crooks, . Franchere, Clarke,
McLellan, Wilson Price Hunt and
the Stuarts.
Lost
At one time Cox was lost in the
wilds of the Okanogan country for
two weeks. Ho managed to subsist
on wild cherries until ho worked
his way out of tho unknown region,
into a place where there was an
Indian encampment.
It was when Cox was on his way
up the river with a party or trsu
pers that he became aopnrtod from DCflpP JT I FTTFRMFN

distance, sat down on a sunny i
bank and fell asleep. The shades
of evening were falling when ho
awoke, and his fellows not having
been able to find him, gave him ur
Tor dead, and went on up the river.
Probably they thought that some
wild beast had devoured him.
For days nnd days tho unfor
tunate trappor wandered in tho
unchartod depths of tho present
state of Washington. Ho mot with
a series of nstounding adventuios,
and his escapes from wolves, bearw

tho fourteen days, Cox was found
and rescued by friendly Indians,

DUMB DORA

A Good Suggestion
Referring to tho Pendleton Round-up and simlnr rodeos
cultivating an appeal to barbarism through unnecessary
cruelty to animals, the state Parent-Teachers association at
its annual convention, adopted the following resolution:
KghoIvcmI: That wo, in convention assembled, do herowlth express
our disapproval ot those performances, and wo protest to those cities
and towns In our slato which sponsor them, against any recurrence.
Wo furlhor rtoHlro to express to their mnmigcrs our beliof that those
occasions could bo nuulo much moro Interesting and attractive through
the elaboration ot tho pageantry features, which would give In won
derful colorful detail the picturesque development of the Oregon
Country from Its earliest pioneer days.
Cruelty to animals as practiced at the Round-up is due to
the commercialization of the rodeo by professionals whose
range experience is confined to public performances and
movie pictures. It was unknown in the development of the
west, just as the buckaroo strut, bulldogging swagger and ten
gallon hat. The annual rodeo brought together tho herds for
the branding of mavericks and was followed by a saturnalia
of gambling, drinking, sports and horse-racing.
Cruelty repels as many as it attracts and the Round-up
will be a better patronized show if it adopts the suggestion
of the Parents-Teachers circles.
