Big Flax Mill Will
Come If Farmers Will
Contract to Grow Product
During the past few months, not only
has the Commercial club been in receipt
of letters from capitalists wishing to es
tablish a flax mill in Salem, but there
has been several men interested in
building a flax mill who have made per
sonal visits to Salem to get information
as to whether sufficient flax could be
raised to justify the erection of a mill.
At the meeting of the board of direct
ors of the Commercial club last even

the reading public, and ' according to
present indications it will be of Nation
al circulation. The head offices will
be located in Portland, with branches
in all the leading cities of the Pacific
Coast, British Columbia and the Mid
dle West and East.
There are twelve men interested iu
the venture and the first issue of the
publication is expected within the
next two months. n
tween 4,000 and 8,000 acres of flax
.should any capitalists ask an acreage
before building.
From correspondence and personal
visits, the men interested in building
flax mills are all satisfied that the flax
raised iu the valley is of the finest qual
ity. All they have asked is not a bonus,
but some positive assurance that the
fanners would plant an acreage thai
would produce enough flax to keep a
mill busy. Firms who have been in cor
respondenct with the club will be ntoi
fied of the action taken last evening. 1 i
other words, if any parties feel dispose 1
to build a flax mill in Salem, the Com
mercial club'will guarantee the acreage
of flax required.
