Oil Men Join in Prayer. T aft, Cal — The oil men here took refuge in prayer and practically every body connected with the oil industry in this vicinity went to church Sunday to hear a sermon preached by Rev. Luther A.

The sermon dealt with the order of ex-President T a ft withdrawing certain oil lands and the effect on the California industry and this district, where the withdrawn lands are situated, in particular.

I hiring ex President Roosevelt's hunting trip in Africa, the Rev. Mr K reiger accompanied him on several occasions. Flax Crop Failure Is Denied By State Board of Control Salem — Member* of the State Board o f Control aaaert that an article in a daily paper last week saying that the flaxraising work being conducted by the state promised to be a failure and that they were dissatisfied with J. C. Cady, in charge o f the flax plant at the penitentiary, was untrue. Both Governor Withycombe and State Treasurer Kay declared that the work so far had been satisfactory, and Secretary of State Olcott said that with the experiment uncompleted it was too early to predict the outcome A ll three members of the board said they had not considered asking Cady to appear before them for an explanation o f his conduct of the flax work. "Indications now seem to point to a success of the flaxraising industry," said Governor Withycombe. "W h ere we had only figured on obtaining 500 tons of straw, we have harvested 600 tons. W e have threshed out nearly 3000 bushels of seed and should realize $6000 from this source alone. Whether it is best to ret the flax in the winter or wait until spring is a question yet to be determined.” State Treasurer Kay pronounced the daily’ s story as absolutely without foundation. “ It may be that the flax can be retted best in the spring,” said Kay, “ so as to permit the scotching process without the employment of artificial heat. That is to be determined.” Fruit Forces Differ In Manner of Apple Publicity Hood R iver— W hile a marked oppo ■ition was apparent among the apple- growers and market men o f the Spo kane fru it district, opinion as ex pressed by fruit growers from all parts of the Northwest presages an adoption next January of the proposed plans of the Growers’ Council as recently out lined, according to E. H. Shepard, of this city, who returned from confer ences o f apple men at the Spokane National Apple Show last week. It is proposed to levy an assessment o f one cent a box on all fru it to raise a fund to be used in opening up new ap ple markets, widening distribution and increasing consumption. It is esti mated that such a levy will collect a fund of more than $75,000 with which to wage an apple publicity campaign. No one district w ill be featured, but all Northwestern box apples w ill be given the benefit o f the fund impar tially. “ The Spokane fruitm en,” says Mr. Shepard, “ are apparently opposed to the proposition, since they think it will be better for all districts to con duct their forward campaigns individ ually.” N o definite action was taken at the Spokane conference, which was in a measure informal. Tentative plans were discussed and it was le ft with the exponents o f the movement to work out more complete details, to be submitted at the second annual meet ing of the council in January. The codling moth caused damage ranging from 10 to 60 per cent, and even higher in cases, in Northwestern orchards. Dr. Melander declared that weather conditions were more favor able this year than ever on any former year for the breeding o f moths, and that more than ever before the insecta had survived the winter o f last year.
