j Governor Withycombe has given out
I an interview in which he asserts that
' the account of tho flux situation as
I given out by Secretary of 8tuto Olcott
; in based upon inaccurate data and th
1 the Btories in the Portland Journal aro
garbled -and absolutely false. "The

uoes not miiue or condemn the flax
industry in Oregon, says the governor,
as it has been shown that a good qual
ity straw can be grown here and the
.manufacture of the fibre is another is

wholly responsible for this absolute
ly uncalled for flax agitation for
giving an interview bused upon inac
curate data," said the governor.
"There is only one doubt about the
success of the flax industry. That is
whether we can field-ret flax Jn the
winter mouths in this climate. There
is no question about the quality of the
flax produced in western Oregon which
compares favorably with any in the
! world. The state has probably 500 tons
of flax straw which is us fine as that
i grown anywhere in tho world. It is not
I the intention to produce tho highest
grade of flax on account of the ex

I $75,000 to establish the most modern

i not warranted in spending this amount
or money until it is fully demonstrated
that flax can bo produced on a com
mercial basis.
Journal Garbled Statements.
"Thus fur the flax work at the peni
tentiary is progressing satisfactorily
and gives every promise of being a com
plete success. We have about 3,001
bushels of first class seed, and for the
parent seed last season the cost to the
state was from $2.50 to 5 a bushel. Ai
a conservative estimate, this seed is
worth !frt,U0O.
"It is true there have been some do
lays in establishing the plant. This was
caused by the machinery not being
avuiluble.

Journal is purely for political purposes
in a covert attempt to discredit the ad

Chicago Buyer Says
Sheep and Wool To
Sell At Top Prices
Pendleton, Ore., Dec. 3. That prices
for sheep and wool will be as high or
higher next spring than last spring
wns the statement made by C.
H. Shurte, of Chicago, probably the
biggest sheep buyer in the country.
This winter there aro 500,000 less sheep
being fed in the United States than a
year ago, he says, and the shortage
will tend to elevate prices. There will
bo a particular shortage in yearlings.
In tho mutton trnfle there has been a
shortage of 2,000,000 head for slaughter
during the year, and this shortage, he
says, was due to a senricity of sheep
and not to the sliipment!i abroad.
Mr. Shurte is a member of the Knollin
Sheep commission of Chicago, Omaha,
Denver, Kansas City and St. Joseph,
through whose houses 85 per cent of
tho western sheep pos when sold to
eastern markets.

Think of it, 2000 immense bags of coffee and that was
only part of a purchaso of about 11,000 bugs now iu

Thero Is great significance to the coffee user in this
fact of our immense purchase. Coffee, like fine wines,
improves with iig '.
For best results in blending tho different kinds of
green coffoo berries must, be mixed together and allowed
to stand for months often u year or more.
In this way and in this wnv only enn the different

low blend. Most coffee routers are unwilling or un
able to tio up their capital for this length of time, and
they therefore mix and roust their coffee without tho
ageing process.
