FLAX SICKNESS
WAY TO GET RID OF THE PARA
SITE FOUND BY AGRlcUL-
TuRAL DEPARTMENT.

The raising Of fax has been looked
upon as a disappearing industry In
Minnesota. and as likely soon to be-
come such in North Dakota, notwith-.
standing the magnitude of the crop.
grown in the latter state for several
years past, says the Pioneer Press.
It has become a general belief that
this plant can be probably grown
only upon new soils; the ground becom-
ing 'sfax sick" after a few years, and
! refusing any longer paying yield.
The theory has been borne out by the
abandonment Of fax culture in success
sive areas, from New England to Min
nesota, as the industry moved west.
But evidently, if the department. of
agriculture is to be believed, now that
industry has moved thus far to the
west, dt is going to stay and grow up
with the country. Nay, it may follow
the example Of a great many people
who, coming from the east have
grown up with the west and then re-
turned to enjoy prosperous days in
their old homes. For the department
has found out the secret of the trouble
called FLAX sickness, and decides
that it does not lie in any exhaustion
of the soil. but In the presence of a
parasite, of which the soil may be rid
by inexpensive methods, such as rota-
| tion of crops, the careful selection
| and preparation of seed, and the Sc
lection Of resistant varieties for plant
ing.
Furthermore, it is demonstrated
that the varieties Of flax which in
Russia and Belgium are grown for
both seed and fiber and the fiber OF
which is the worlds staple for the
manufacture Of fine linens, as well as,
of coarse fabrics. such as toweling,
bagging and twine can be success
fully and probably grown here; and
that the substitution and cultivation
Iof these in their purity. without any
sIoyenly mixture of varieties such as
now prevails, will greatly enhance the
market value of the fiber Such sub
stitution, while not at all lessening
the product Of seed for oil making,
would soon do away with the spec
tacle now annually seen, Of millions
of tons Of fiber annually given to the
| flames as worthless. Even now we
1 are burning up a great deal that is
just as good as much of that with
4 which Russia supplies the lien manu-
factories Of Europe.
4 Various Industries are already estab.
lished which consume part OF the
4 fax product. The oil mills are con.
l spicuos as utilizing the seed to the
last pound obtainable. Then there
are tow mills, paper pulp mills, bind.
er Irvine plants and crash toweling
4 factories, with bagging factories all
ready looming up as affording posi-
/ bilities Of profit, now that the jute in.
4 dustry is declining in India. These
4 last named factories could apparently
utilize all the fiber available in the
northwest should the changes III In
i dia's industrial situation continue.
It will pay anyone interested
| IN this topic to send for Farmers Bull
I letin No. 274 on Flax Culture. There
IN can be found in detail some Of the
reasons for looking upon the outlook
for that industry in the northwest as
j decidedly encouraging. II

lating to the building and manage
ment Of railroads and the relation of
the transportation of the products of
the country to the prosperity Of the
people found in the statements of Mr..
James j. Hill in the recent inquiry
commission in Minnesota moves Gen..
William LeDuc to suggest through
the Pioneer Press the following:
81 wish to suggest to you to put the
catchism of railroad matters which is
and has been published in your paper
from time to time, resultant from the
replies Of Mr.. James j. Hill to inter
rogatories of commissioners or indi-
viduals in some more permanent and
convenient form for reference by
those who desire information and by
the people generally, whose members
elected the Legislature, and officers
appointed by the governor as mem
bers Of the railroad commission need
just such instruction as they can de-
rive from a careful perusal of this
aforesaid catchism.
~ The business of transportation of
the products of industry Of the state
lies at the foundation of our prosper
ity. Its complications are not to be
understood without much observation
and experience of competent persons,
and the utterances Of the masters in
this business, especially of masters Of
such distinguished ability as ]. j. Hill,
should be carefully preserved and in
such form as may benot may, but
shall be put in the hands Of every citi-
zen Of this state who can read and
understand, And Mr.. Hills language
is plain common sense talk that can
not be misund erstood by any one
seeking information.
More than that, any unprejudiced
reader, especially in Minnesota, ought
to know If he doesn't, that Mr.. Hilrs
talk is not other than a square deal
for the entire people Of this state Of
which he is one. If there are people
who read with suspicion everything
Mr.. Hill says because he has been a
successful railroad manager, they are
the younger people who have come to
their majority recently. There are
! those who have known J. j. Hill from
boyhood up. as,I have, and who would
with entire confidence put the trans
portation interests Of the state In his
hands, believing and knowing that
such resp possibility would be met as
has every other such trust by an
honest, fearless, just and able admin
istration

would not consent to be governor Of

to give his entire attention to the &C.

Why don't some of our wide
awake real estate dealers get out
into the fields now and gather
samples of grasses, grain, fruit
and vegetables to form an exhib-
it to be sent to the Spokane and
Lewiston fairs? On the farms
of this section are now growing
some of the finest crops of all
kinds that ever enjoyed Gods
sunlight and it will be a shame if
visitors at the fairs are not given
a chance to see what our great
country is capable of producing.
And Cottonwood should have the
benefit of such publicity. Peo-
pie from other towns come miles
to secure samples of our beauti-
full crops and, while the county
generally receives benefit from
such advertising, the town MAX
ing the exhibit receives the di-
rect reward by getting promi-

Our remarks last week anent
bonding the town to grade up
the streets and later pave them
is beaYing fruit and many have
expressed a desire to see the pro-
ject carried out. There is really
no reason why it should not be.
We are entitled to all the con-
veniences we can secure and
should have them. Every dollar
we spend in public Improvements
not only gives us the benefit of
those Improvements but advances
the value of our holdings at the
same time. The farmer who has
a we'll improved farm not only
lives an easier and happier life
but has a place that will bring a
good price when he wants to sell.
1t is the same here. Property in
a good healthy town is always in
demand. And a little debt
should not scare us. No town
and few people get along without
debt and honest debts are no dis
grace. If we Want our town to
improve we must show conf
dence in it and public improve
ments are the best and most sat-
isfactory way of doing so. Let
everyone join the boosters bri-
gade and we will soon have paw
ed streets as we'll as city water.

GOOD ADVERTISING.

Some merchants will spend a
large amount of money advertis-
ing in hotel registers, menu
cards, cheap circulars and other
ways that never bring them any
returns. The people that by
chance happen to read your ad.
are not the ones you are trying
to reach. They are not interest
ed in what you have to say, as
they are travelling, and when a
drummer picks up a menu card
he is looking to see what they
have to eat-he is not looking
for your advertising, says Adver-
Using World.
This scheme is being worked
in many towns. A man comes
to you and offers you great bar
gain in advertising, and after a
good talk put up by him you be-
come his victim. He gets a good
long price for the ad. and leaves
town and you never receive any
benefit from it. But generally
the class of business men that
jump at a proposition like this
are the ones who never do any
legitimate advertising in the
newspapers.
They are looking for something
better and are therefore easy
marks for the man that is out to
take their money. Well written
and attractive displayed ads.
continually run in your local pa
per can not fail to bring you
good returns. Do your own ad-
vertising, and if you cannot do it 1
yourself, maybe one of your
clerks can or get professional
ad. writer to create ideas and de-
signs for you. Publishers are
always glad to help you, for if
they see you are interested in
your advertising, and are trying
to make it pay, it will pay them
to keep you in their columns.
Don't be afraid to use plenty of
space consistent with the word
ing. Have as much white space
as possible, with a few brief re-
tQthe point-as people do
not read ads. containing a large
amount of talk, when a few
words would have told it.
Study your advertising; it is
the life-blood of your business.
Get your copy to the printer
early, so he will have time to get
it up properly. You must have
advertising of some kind and
you'll find the right kind pays.

A total of more than a half
million dollars is to be expended
for public improvements in Lew
iston this year and all of it is to
be spent before the holidays.
Last year that city spent $81, 400
for public work. The increase
in the amount to be spent over
last year shows that the people
of Lewiston are beginning to
wake up and realize that they
must supply their town with
modern equipments if they ex-
pect it to become a city. Conf
dence Of it's own people is what
is necessary to make any town
successful, and a confidence that
does not preclude the spending
of a few dollars occasionally for
public improvement.

In a personal letter this week
to E. M. Ehrhardt, president of
the First National Bank of this
place, Thomas Brewer, formerly
of Genesee but now of the Spo-
kane & Eastern Trust Co., stated
that without doubt the Camas
and Nez Perez prairie country
this year had the banner crops
of any section of the northwest.
When it is considered that the
banks usually keep the closest
watch on the crop conditions
of the country the above state
ment coming from such a source
is a compliment of no mean val
ue, and especially as it is thor
oughly justified. In fact, we
doubt if there is any section of
country in the United States of
equal size that will produce such
enormous crops of grain this
year as will these two prairies.
