A CORNER IN FLAX.
An Idaho Firm Controls Nearly An
the Product ef the Northwest

PORTLAND, Sept. 22-Hon. William
J. McCoRneii, OF the firm OF McCon-
nell, Maguire & Co, OF Moscow
Idaho, Is in the city. Mr.. Mcconnell
says the wheat crop IS very large in
that section, and his arm will handle
at least 1,0co.00 bushels this wear
alone. The flax crop is phenomenally
large The firm 70 which Mr. McCoa-
nell belongs have formed corner in
this staple. They already have 1000
tons coTraled and are now paying 81 .
per bashel. and it costs II cents per
bnshel 10 get it here. Portland
buyers are now willing 10 paw 81 y Il
bushel for it. but Nc onneil says they
must pay Ms price or go without il, as
he can get a better figure than quoted
in san Francisco.
To show how complies the McCon-
nell corner Is, ii need but be said that
the county Of Whitman in Washing
ton territory and Nez Perce. aud Latah
counties IN Idaho produce all the tlax
seed raised in the Pacific Northwest,
except little raised in Linn county.
The nrm has contracted for all raised
in Whitman, Neg Perez and Latah
counties, anu are therefore masters of
the linseed situation.
Mr.. Mcconnell says the people OF
Northern Idaho are almost unit on
the question OF annexation to Wash-
ingtoa territory, while the PEOPLE of
Southern Idaho are equally strongly
oppo ed to the scheme. The couse-
quence i that Northern Idaho Is prac-

great objection to his administration,
from the standpoint of Republican, is
that it is Democratic, and to him that he
is a Democrat. The indications are
that the people will vote mainly with
reference to the principles involved in
the campaign and for the first time since
1856, and perhaps it would be better to
say since 1874, there will be an express
sion of the electors upon the principle
of high protection. Free trade is not
involved in the controversy. The ne
cdsSity for revenue is so great that. to
raise what is required will, it is believed,
afford all needed protection. The Re-
publican platform embodies the princi-
pies that are acceptable to the capital
lists and owners of manufacturing eS-
Establishments. The Democratic platform
elnbodies the principles which, in my
Judgment, are more conducive to the
welfare of the laboring classes, to the
first producers and to consumers of
manufactured products. and it is to be
hoped that each elector will vote in ac-
cordance with his best Judgment as to
which of these policies will conduce
most to the welfare Of the great body of
the American people.
The above general views have been
entertained by me all my life. That a
tariff can be levied so as to promote the
public welfare l believe: that free trade
under present circumstances would not,
and that high protective combination
tariff, such as we are now under, does
not, | equally and firmly believe. With
the expression of kind remembrances
for all the old soldiers of my command,
remain, truly yours,

the oat crop and spring wheat are in
the shock OF stacks, and before COM
plete threshing returns have been re-
ceived, it will be interesting to turn to
the condition of affairs among cattle on
the pastures. The same conditions
which affect crops for better or for
worse. may be said to affect cattle at
pasture. If rains are abundant, grow
ing crops survive, grass becomes plenti-
full, and cattle correspondingiy
improve i'll condition. If, on
the other hand. drouth prevails,
everything in the vegetable world
dro0pS, and stock suffers in like man aer.
Careful study OF the reports from our
correspondents on this subject dis
closes the fact that cattle are in far
better condition in the different states
than some dispatches have endeavored
to show. Up to time of going to press,
our reports place the condition of cattle
in Illinois as uniformly good: only
five counties report the condition as
" fair" Our reports from Sangamon
county tells. however, of cattle dying
there on account of flies and heat.
Cattle in Indiana are in good condition.
except in eight counties, where
their condition is only fair" Iowa
makes a good report. only two
counties placing the condition as lew as
, fair" In Kansas four counties report
hn t,y,. Nj, oh
rather badly, with only fair condition
the same report as Iowa, while Mis-
souri, reports five. counties where the
condition is only fair. In the West and
Northwest cattle are doing well. Min
neSota has but two counties where the
condition is only fair. Nebraska all
good. Dakota only one fair, and Wis
consin the same. 1t is understood that
the counties in the states other than
those reporting fair condition report the
condition as good.
The warm weather recently
has brought corn on rapidly,
and a heavy crop seems to
be the prospect in every stale.
Exaggerated reports have been SEM Qua
by interested parties stating that much
damage has been done by hot winds.
While reports indicate some damage
from this cause in Kansas. from which
state most Of the sensational dispatches
have come, they still show the condition
OF the corn crop in that State to exceed
an average. Recent rains have been
beneficial to corn, pastures and potatoes
in many localities, but More rain is
wanted almost generally. The hay crop
has yielded better than was expected
Pastures are i'll fair condition.
