It is the life story of America's most

That President McKinley and Presi
dent Koosevelt made no mistake in
pardoning and restoring citizenship to

fact that he is now one of oar most

COURT HOUSE NEWS I
Judge Galloway today handed down
a decree in the case of, tho Abbot of
St. Benedict's Abbey, of Mt. Angel,
against Andrew Laidlaw, a suit to ro
move a cloud from the title to about
.'to'OO acres of land. By Judge Gallo
way's decree the plaintiff corporation
is given a fee simple title to the land
in epiestion.
A reply was filed todav by the plain-
tiff in the contested will case of Dan
Tracy who died at Silverton lebruary
(t. 1915. leaving a will dated January
received $,n00, Hazel Xutting $-',000,
Mrs. Bessie Bennett $1,000 and Evalyn
Xutting was named as the residuary
legatee. The plaintiff claims that she
is the widow of a brother of Dan
Tracy and hence one of his heirs. The
answer of the legatees named in the
will jets forth th.it the will was regu
lar iu all respects.
The habeas corpus proceedings of A.
M. Long, a convict at the state pen
will be argued in the supreme court ac
cording to Attorney Thomas Garland,
who appears for Long. An order was
issued by Judge Galloway requiring
that Long be produced in court upon
Girland's contention that he was not
permitted to have a private interview
wit.1 the prisoner. Smallpox prevent
ed the bringing of Long into court prop
er but the question was argued with At
torney General Brown representing the
state officials at the pen. Judge Gal
loway ruled that when Long became a
prisoner at the state pen, ho forfeited
his constitutional right is a citizen and
became subject to the more stringent
rules of the state pen. If the rules of
the pen, he held, prevented a private
interview between a prisoner and an at
torney then the parties concerned must
abide by such rules as long as the man
remained a prisoner or until he was pa
roled ind his citizenship rights were re
stored by the governor by a special par
don. Attorney Garland says he will
carry the case to the supreme court for
a final decision in the matter.

ceiver for settling up tho accounts.

tempt it unless there is some one to
superintend the work who does under
stand it. This statement holds for all
three retting methods, yet it applies
especially to water retting nnd 'hemi
cal retting.
"Dew retting is the method employed
in many of the flax-growing pro vinrps
of Russia, and iias been used in this
country to a greater extent thi n the
other methods. It consists of spread
ing the threshed straw in straight rows
on a field, preferably a meadow, and
allowing the action of ruin, dew or snow
to remove tho gummy materials which
cause the fibre to adhere to the woody
portion of tho stalks. This takes place
in from two or eight weeks, depending
upon the climatic conditions. The straw
is sometimes turned once during the
retting process.
Water Is Used.
"The best flax fiber is obtained from
the Coutrai region of Belgium, where
flax is water retted in the Hiver Lys.
Flax is also water retted in Irelaud and
in certain provinces of Russia, but in
these countries the rotting is done in
pools or reservoirs.
"Tho practice in Belgium and in some
portions of Ireland is to watch con
stantly during the latter part of the
retting period in order to remove the
ptraw from the water at the time when
the retting process has progressed suf
ficiently, even though this be during
the night."
So far, flax has beon grown to any
large extent in the United States only
for its seed. In 1915 there were 1,367,
000 acres in this countrv planted to
flax. The yield was 13,845,000 bushels
of seed, which had a farm value of $24,-.
0SO.0O0.
Flax Expert Arrives.
Frank C. Miles, flax expert with the
I'nitcd States department of agriculture
arrived in Portland last night from
Washington nnd today left for Eugene
to attend tho flax meeting to be held
there tomorrow. Mr. Miles came to Ore
gon at the solicitation of the Chamber
of Commerce flax committee purposely
to attend the flax meetings to be held
at Eugene and Ncwberg and to advise
with the local people interested in es
tablishing the flax industry here.
The plan that has been formulated
by the school of commerce, University
of Oregon and Chamber of Commerce
flax committee for giving tho industry
a definite start this year was highly
praised by Mr. Miles this morning.
Eugene Is Active.
This plan is to co-operate with the
community which will take hold of the
enterprise most enthusiastically by fur
nishing a flax expert to advise tho
farmers from the time the ground is
prepared for planting until the crop is
itisposed ot and also to turnisli the ma
hiliery to prepare the flax fiber and
seed for market. This expert will be
Eugene Bosse, of Salem, who has the
machinery now on hand. And the acre
age to be nlanted will be held down to
not more than 300 acres.
11. II. Miller, head of the school of
commerce, sjiid indiscrimirvtte plant
ing ot tlax will lie discouraged, us it
woutd be detrimental to the success ofod ,to 'nm "ff congress that he let'
the industry. By taking a compara -
iMeiy Mn:ui acreage wim an expert to
oversee it, lie said, success will be
practically assured and then next year
other communities may organize and ob
tain their own machinery, which is
comparatively cheap.
Mr. Miles was here lust fall and look
ed over the flax grown at Salem. Ho ex
presses opinion similar to all others who
have investigated that the Willamette
valley is ideal from the standpoint of
soil and climate for flax culture. The
valley also has abundance of soft water
needed for retting the flax.
While here he will arrange for nn ex-
periment to bo made nt the O. A. C.
this yen to determine the best kind of
flax seed for use in this valley.

Onion growing circles announce tho
recent cancellation of an order for
number of carloads of Oregon onions,
which was made by a prominent San
Francisco interest some time ago at
$2.1 2' i, of 12' -..c above the prevailing
market. -At the time this sale was
made there was a. question in tho minds
of tho general trade as to whether the
buyer would take in the suplies and
subsequent events have proved their
idea as correct, hi the minds of thei
trade the reported purchase at 2.13Vs
was made simply to influence the lo
cal market to hold while San Francisco
interests got rid of their poor quality
stuff.
A private report f.om'San Francisco
says that the onions being taken out
of storage there arc showing very poor
quality and are not available for out
side shipment. Those that want real
good keeping quality have been com
pelled to purchase the superior Oregon
stock.

Speaker . Clark, Majority leader

the president after his conference and
discussed with him the matter of bring

Lansing.
Will Sustain President.
"In tho light of events," said Flood,
"I think there is little question that
all members of congress will support
the president."
The letter to Pou caused a sensation
around the enpitol, as none of the lead
ers' there had an inkling of the presi
dent's determination to force the issues.
The president's request was generally,
interpreted as meaning that a poll ot'
sentiment at the capilol showed enough
votes to defeat any reflection upon the
president's position. In sending his
message to Pou the president pointed
out that foreign capitals might be nt?
versely influenced by news of any lack
of support for the government on th
part of congress; he said stories of dif
ference were being made " industrious
