For a number of years Mr. Bosso was employed by the department of agriculture ns n fin- expert, and in that way be was instru mental 111 first interesting Willamette valley citizens in flux growing 15 or 20 years ttgo. He bought a fimn at Sa lem and has grown flux there for many years. In bis letter he says: Work is Interesting. "All is said about the growing of flax, but it must be added that when it is properly handled for fiber, it is so pleading so interesting, so well paying and prepares the land so nicely for the following crop that, once in it, you will soon sow flax every year and in a very few years wo will have u nulionnl flax industry. "Now we need tlio buyers of the flax from the furmers to give them the regular market. They want to erect their mill in, a well selected place on n river, or lake, or pool, that will furnish them plenty o'f soft water to establish their tanks for retting, which lakes an experienced man to judge of the degree to ret, and it takes the proper men to prepare it for market, as it. is of such great value from 20 to 40 cents n pound in normal time. How Tanks Are Made. "Tn Belgium the tanks are made to contain two Ions of flax straw, and they ret tlio flnx twice in tank in generally 12 days, according to the temperature (50 degrees Y. The function of the mill will be to take care of nil the flax of fered them, that, is, straight flax for water-ret; retted flax for tow; and waste flax for upholstery tow; to turn nil the i'mx into marketable fiber; to market it and to give all information required by the growers of flax. "They need tow machines, thresh ers, cleaners, sculcliing machines, baler and all accessories that will amount to about $.'10,000 in all to operate n mill of K00 acres capacity. There should be a fair profit. "In order to be well fixed on the Pa cific const to handle the flax affair, wo must linve linen mills to work up to crash and coarse linen the tow we will make with our second grade flax, but wo cannot expect to hnvo linen mills before they are certain to find hern the proper quantity of raw ma terial to feed their machines . Market is Ample. "Anyway, linen mills or not, the par ty making the filler cannot bo disturbed with the question, 'Where shall I sell my fiber? ' They could not make enough flax fiber for tho I'nited .states mills at remunerative prices and they can sell it to Knglnnd at. still higher prices. They were praying nt Belfast, Novem ber 1"), l!H.r, for the little Dutch water retted flux. They could have an much ns 07 cents per pound. All the flax spinners will buy the tow. The fine water retted flnx will go to Belfast because they do not oso such high priced fiber in America, and the up holstery tow will not be enough for the l'ueific coast. "I have studied very deeply this flnx making question for the I'nited States and I nm convinced that th svs. to in I nm udvisiiiL' hern will lie tl m'ik I one practically nnd commercially feas ible in tho near future." Leading Men Skip As Story of Three Years' Era of Graft Is Told Region, Snsk., Mar. 2. Through dis closures just made and ordered investi gated by a royal commission, the prov ince of Snsk itchewim is seething today in a stench stirred up by the sudden disappearance of several members of parliament nnd departmental officials. Business is at stagnation. Tho sole topic, of conversation from morning till night is tho terrible charges made against members of the Liberal gov ernment party under Premier Scott, by tlio opposition members. An era of graft, existing for more thiin three years is alleged. One banker lias disappeared; the head of the roads department has left; ten or eleven hotelnien charged with giving bribes to defeat the bar bill ire under arrest. Three members of parlia ment nro sought by the police, nnd the whole province is set by the ears. Anil yet, the lull conditions ot nt fniis has not. been disclosed, as yet, Ac cording to Opposition Leader Willough by, who says he is keeping the biggest disclosures for submission to the Koyal commission. ('lunula has never in its history been cnufronted with such wholesnlt politic al corruption as tho province ot Sask atchewan is producing. Tho city is filled with detectives .Hid every strang er is shadowed. If it is thought he has been brought here to testify in the graft cases, every effort is made by friends of the accused officers to have him railroaded from the province.

Phone 109 Potato Market. Poor. Portland, Or., Mar. 2 The market for potatoes is very disappointing to the local trade. There is practically an entire absence of business from the out side at the moment. California's wints seem to be well taken care of, despite the fact that lato receipts there havo not been liberal. It is stated that 100 tons of Cana dian potatoes reached the Sin Francisco market last week. This is probably the reason why the trade of the south is seemingly less anxious to bid for Ore gons. On the other hand, even though or ders from the outside were available here for supplies at this time, it would be practically impossible to secure more than i small amount of stock. Willamette valley growers have their price ideas to the point where they were placed during the extreme cold i snap hist month, when it was impossible ! for shipments to be made from tie: jg country. They cannot realize that the extreme price was due to the inability I of the trade to secure shipments, and not to .inv lacK ot supplies in trie c.oun- , trv. j Hops Are Moving.
