PRESIDENT BRYAN's REPLY.

Pullman, Wash, Sept. 9.-In re-
ply to yours of September 4, re
ferring to my letterto Mr.. Mulgrew
of Helena regarding flax culture in
Washington, | would say that the
eastern part Of Whitman county
and parts Of Idaho, lying alongside
of it, have for many years raised for
seed quantities of flax. [ have no
way at getting at exact statistics III
the matter.
The flax raised in this section is
raised solely for seed. 1t is short
and has poor fiber. The amount
raised in other parts Of the state is
not as yet large.
Experiments are in progress on
Puget sound, notably in Whatcom
county, to determine it's adaptable
ity for raising fiber flax and a most
excellent quality of fiber has been
produced; some going SO far as to
say that it would compare very
faVOrably with the irish product.
1t is the pur pose of the expert
ment stations to make further eX-
periments in Puget sound country
next year.
Some flax is also grown on Snake
river. AS | said before the flax is
raised for seed in southeastern
Washington, except in rare cases.
The straw" as the fiber is called
is fed to stock as other straw and
is regarded as an excellent feed.
The average yield per acre is
about Is bushels, and the average
price per bushel about 81. In fact
it can be usually engaged for that
price a year ahead and often the
market price is higher than that.
1t grows best on fresh ground or on
good strong ground that has been
summer fallowed. While the price
on wheat remains low it undoubt-
edly pays little better than other
grain crops.
If wheat were over so cents a
bushel it would not be so we'll. 1t
follows that the amount of fax
sown varies somewhat with the
price of wheat. A few years ago
when wheat was high flax culture
was almost discontinued.
At the present time there is quite
an increase in the acreage.
[ should be glad to give any fur
ther information on the subject that
may be desired.
E. A. BRYAN, President.

ridge, and had his dog Gunner with him.
The two We're tracking a bear, whose
haunts Swadley had known for some days,
through the laurel on the mountain side,
when he came into a little clearing, and
suddenly without other warning than a
scream louder than that of a panther,
which Swadley thought at first had jumped
on him. the immense feathered creature
swooped down with the evident intention of
bearing him off. The bird dug its talons
in his back. tearing his coat into shreds,
and for some minutes there was fierce
fight in the snow. Swadley lost his rifle,
and did not get a chance to use his hunt
ing knife.
Though he Is large, powerfully built
man he had no chance with his bare hands,
and his wounds show what a fight for life
II must have been. One of the worst
wounds the hunter received was over the
left eye. where the scalp was torn away
for at least three inches, making a terrible
wound. Swadley still managed to retain his
footing in the snow, though nearly unccn-
scious, and strove to ward off the blows of
the eagles talons, which nearly tore him to
pieces. Swadley's dog Gunner was probably
the only thing that saved him from being
killed. The dog was off from its master
when, the bird attacked him. but when
Swadley shouted it returned and made for
the eagle. The latter turned IRON the man
to the dog, and Swadley says with enc
stroke of its powerful claws ripped open it's
stomach and flew away with the Door
creature whining in its talons
Almost Blinded by the blood which flowed
from the wound over his eye, the hunter
contrived to find his way down the noun
tain side to the cabin of Abe KitsmiIler on
Little Laurel creek. a mile or more from
the place of conflict. He stumbled into
the cabin nearly dead from the loss Of
blood. Ktsmiller was at home, and after
he had bound up Swadley's wounds as well
as he could, he put him on a horse and
brought him to Addison.
Owing to the fact that the bird came on
him so suddenly, and nearly blinded him

Swadley is not able to give much of a de-
scription of it. Its strength. however. he
declares, was prodigious, and twice he was
lifted off his feet by it's onslaughts. Its
body, he says, is as large as that of
man. EFF it was to come ez ter how 1

spanking gait, in a good strong voice. He
walks with his toes turned in. and steps
softly. While he is never badly dressed,
yet one can readily see that he spends no
great amount of time in arranging his SEN
atorial garb. Few Senators seem to be
distressingly devoted to the ethics of dress.
AS Senator Blanchard sits in his seat
one is not particularly attracted toward
him, but it is when he walks across the
floor with his serenely dignified poise that
one is called to observe his rather clerical
reserved manner. His abundant locks show
him to be young man, yet he takes pride
in saying: when / spent thirteen years
at the other end of the Capitol"
''The Pride of the West"
There is no more striking figure on the
Senate floor than Senator PETER, with
his neat, well-groomed head and pride
of the west" beard. Tall, thin and wiry,
he seems a frail being to weather the
storms Of the western plains, so frail, in
deed, that his long coat hangs in deep
wrinkles on his sharp shoulders.
When Senator PETER takes the floor for
one of his speeches for the people one
might as well think of staying the willful
winds of his native state as to stop him,
and at this point many of the very busy
Senators go out to attend quite important
business. One bad habit he has is that of
chewing his after-dinner toothpicks as
he comes on the floor.
The artistic locks of Senator Rrice ap-
pear yet to call forth most comments
That these curls are the pride of Mr.. Brice
is very evident, or is it paramount .lesire
to be odd that leads him to cultivate this
hirsute crop?
The valet OF the Senator must pay great
attention to the placing Of each and every
curl, for there seems never to be any
change in them. To keep his auburn
tresses at the same length he must have
frequent recourse to the shears. He never
seems to have but just come from the bar
ber's." There Is no man more exquisitey
dressed on the floor than Is Senator Brice,
with his faultlessly fitting Prince Albert
coat, and the inevitable red flower in his
button-hole. A little boy was heard to ask
net long since:
Does Mr.. Brice always have his flowers
made by the same florist. that they are
just the exact color all the timer
Mr.. Brice's garments seem to be the
blacklist of any worn in the chamber; his
vest is buttoned high. and the broad black
tie meets it so that there is but rim of
white color shown, which, were he not so
artistically gotten up, would give him a
priestly look. He is always twirling the
cord to his eye glasses.
Senator Caffrey is the proud owner Of a
full suit of hair, although it is quite gray.
He dresses in a neat gray suit, with the
only contrasting color in his robin-egg- blue
tie.
1t is not difficult thing to count the SEN
atorial crowns that are still clothed in their
youthful locks. STILL many wear their bald
ness with great and becoming grace, and
really seem to gain dignity and distinction
by the shining crowns.

PUFFBALL bob FORTUNE. ("
A sTRANE MALADY GOT HOLD OF
THE PETTY THIEF.
He Is swelIed Up to Twice His Nat
uraI Size and Utterly Unrecog-
niznbIe-He Expands Until His
Socks and Trousers Burst OF His
Body-A Strange Case.

The name of Bob Fortune is per-
haps the most familiar in the galaxy
of petty criminals in Salt Lake. His
last outing which cost him $50 days
in the chain gang, has been fraught
with great disappointment to Fortune,
as all his colleagues in thieving were
set free and Bob alone was cinched.
Shortly after his incarceration he
complained of being sick, but that was
an old dodge, and little or no atten-
tion was paid to him as being an in
valid. Jailer Kimball was told that
Bob was off his feed" and then it
was that he took some stock in For
tunes claims to be recognized as really
and truly sick. The city physician was
sent for and a thorough diagnosis of
the case developed no symptoms of
sickness, but the fellow could not and
did not eat He shivered and shook
and acted out his part, at least, suffi-
GENTLY we'll to make the big-hearted
jailor believe he was not able to work
in the chain gang.
However, Fortune was latterly dis
covered to be we'll enough to help Billy
Lynch undertake a very bold and sue
jail DT6dk, udQ IlOI
a trusty prisoner given the snap away
This caused the removal of Fortune
to more safe quarters of the jail--up
stairs. In having to mount the steps
Fortune declared he couldn't do it,
and then it was discovered for the first
time that the unfortunate Bob For
tune" as dubbed by Judge Smith, was
truly sick man, and his malady was
of an unknown nature. A few days
ago Fortunes feet began to swell, and
they kept on swelling until he could
not get on his shoes, and the putting"
continued until his socks bursted from
his feet, and they reached a. size be-
yond the dimensions of the shoemak-
er's measure. He became utterly help
less, and the swelling continued, grad
ually going up his legs and through
out his body. Yesterday his trousers
bursted off his legs and none of his
clothes could be put on him. Last
night he was swelled out to twice his
natural size and no longer bears any
resemblance to the slim, delicate Bob
Fortune of few days ago.
DR.. Daily has been in attendance
upon Fortune, and no doubt knows the
unpronounceable medico paraphrase
for his malady, but the English of it
is not forthcoming. Suffice it to say
that Robert Fortune is a human puff
ball, and his illness may cost him his
life. If he is not better today he will
be removed to hospital.
