Mr Ballin. was a business visitor tn
Scio Tuesday, and among the bust-
ness men receiving his acknowledg
ment was your humble. Imbecile
poor editor. We know all the above
is correct, but what we published
last week was wrong, for Mr Erick
son so informed us.
We also know why we were wr»0g.
for Mr. Erickson told us he had
handled more money than we aver
saw. consequently we know nothing
aieiut the honesty of high finance
because an editor never handles a
great amount of money. If Mr.
Erickson said any.fhmg to 0» ’ C #•

publicly apologize for the damage
done him or Mr. Hallin (if any) we
did not hear it. Ue try to be fair,

Mr. Crawford is a surer-* ul
grower in Marion county and ‘oM
hi* hearers that Hax can lie gr >wn
at a total cost of <30 per acre, »nd
that two tons and mors could be
grown on an acre; that a net profit
of $35 an acre was a conservative
figure, and that in his opinion it la

grow
He said the soil, water and
climatic conditions of the Wiilamet e
"Valley was ideal for Hax growmg
an*l was as good, if not better, than
the famous Hax districts of Ireland.
He urged Unn county farmers to
plant Hax. and said the state would
furnish the see-i at most reasonable
price», and on time if need be.
Mr. Sanson, a linen manufacturer
at Guelph. Canada, is down here to
locate mill, and is seeking a central
location as measured by the aerraye
sown. He also slated bin belief 1»
the Willamette tlax. and «*i><
com(>any was going to i <c i >- a rniil

Linn. Benton and Lane llax acreage
measures up with the acreage sown

likely secure the mill. He made
good impression on his hearers, and
it is aaid between 300 and 500 acres
were pledged.
Unfortunately no one from here
was present.
