CHRISTIAN SCIENCE,
Clackamas County Flax.

l.. ID. Munpower and NJ. Rlebhon,
farmers, living about six miles from
Oregon City, have marketed their flax
crop by slowing it in a box car at
Oregon City, for shipment to this
city, according to their contract with
the Woman's Flax Association. The
flax was pulled two weeks ago, but
1T seems to have dried very little, and
it IS more than twice as heavy as the
same bulk Of hay. The stuff is bound
in sheaves like grain, and is shipped
in that form. From an acre Mr..
Mumpower harvested two and one
half tons of the flax, and from a half
acre Mr.. Riebhoff obtained a good
ton, the stalks varying from 80 to "A
inches in length. These growers are
not particularly enthusiastic for the
industry. They say if the crop does
not bring at least $l5 a ton it is a
losing business to raise it. The
price is said to depend on the length
of stalk, and runs from IS to S25 a
ton.

Attempted Display of Crank In the Ma
rion County Jail.
A prisoner in the county jail by
name Of VIM. Ferris surprised Sheriff
Wrightman this morning by hanging
suspended from the ceiling. He had
put cord about his neck and by
means of large wire hook had hitched
himself to "a nail.
Sheriff Wrightman went. up to the
man, felt of his face, found it warm
and alive. When he cut him down
Ferris tumbled on the floor all in
heap. Then the Sheriff was satisfied
he was playing 'possum.'
Wrlghtman picked him up and
threw him on cot and left him there.
A watch was kept up on him and
when he thought no one was looking
he brushed off the too troublesome fly
that perched on his nose and squinted
out Of the corner of his closed eve.
He played the hanging dodge to per-
fection but not perfectly enough to
fool the sheriff of Marion county. He
had got himself up in the shape of
suicidal corpse in pretty good shape
but it did not work.

We had hoped that time would have dis
PEELED from the minds of the disappointed
Democrats, the false idea that combination
had been formed against the Fourth district,
but unfortunately 1t appears that there Is
still doubt in some minds as to the real
cause OF our district being left OF Of the
ticket by the late convention.
AS an eye witness to the proceedings of
that convention, | AIN thoroughly satisfied
that the blame, if any there be, falls upon our
own delegation, from the well,known fact
that before the close of the Convention, they
were offered the nomination for a higher
office than the one to which they aspired, and
in refusing that they have no right to attemp t
to fasten that blame upon either the supposed
managers or any other district.
There were five nominees before the Con-
vention, of whom only four could be- chosen;
fact which plainly shows that one district
would be left out. Put the case in another
light. Suppose that either the First or Sixth
districts had been the sufferers, would not
they have had the same right to shout "ring''
or ''combination?h Our own delegates had
the best opportunities TO prove the truth OF a
fixed slate, or design to ignore the Fourth
when Mr.. Hitchcock was offered the nomi-
nation for the Sherffalty. II then had named
candidate for that Office, and had then been
left outthere might have been some foundation
for fault finding; but their refusal to even
consider the offer which was made, places the
burden upon their own shoulders and if old
Marshall does not roll up her usual majority
in November, it will be entirely to her own
discredit. Surely no Democrat can say that
our district was tricked out of the nomination,
when We had chance to prove the charge
and failed to do 80. | have lately learned
that delegate to the convention, from
another district, has been circulating reports
| that the whole matter was fixed up at least
two weeks before the mt citing. There can be
| no doubt as to the falsity of this report, and
| it ia all the more blameable from its tendency
to create, promote and extend dissatisfaction
in our midst. We cannot afford to lose this
election and more especially the Legislative
| ticket as upon Hartford county to a great ex-
tent depends the election of a United States
Senator; and every Democrat who votes the
Republican ticket or refrains from voting, is
responsible for the downfall of the party.
