STATEMENT NOT OFFICIAL.

m REQUESTING that the mayor and
city council should throw some light
on the present condition of the mat.
ter Of the purchase Of the Salem Water
Company's plant, the Capital Journal,
not seeing what it wanted, asked for it.
In the light Of past events, it scarcely
hoped for the desired information, and
so far it has not been pleasantly disap.
pointed in its expectations, for the per.
sons named, those in authority, are as
silent az the grave.
The morning paper, however, editori.
ally says this morning that no work in
the way of the engineers examination
has yet been done, and that this is due
to the water company's inability to get
an engineer, This sounds good, but It
is not coming from the right source.
The morning paper may be the official
mouthpiecc Of the mayor and council
and of the water board, but it has not
been so publicly named, Until that
time, the people naturally hesitate
about accepting its statements as those
Of the officials named. The mayor and
council are not officially behind the
statement 1t may be, and probably is
true, but the statement is that of the
morning paper, not of the mayor and
council. If these gentlemen want to
keep in touch with the people, and take
them into their confidence, they will
show up conditions themselves, or indi
cate that any showing made is official
Tho people want to know their position
and they want that position shown in
such manner, that the officials arc
bound by It,

else, regardless of the conditions they
create for the small farmer in the
neighborhood of their tracts.
This amendment passed the senate by
avOte of 25 to 13, which shows the
pressure that has been brought to bear,
the strength of the interests opposing
the bill. 1t must yet run the gauntlet
in the lower house, and it remains to be
seen what action will be taken by it..
1t seems probable, though, that those
opposing the bill, viewed in the light
of the vote in the senate, will have
power enough to force the amendment
through the lower house.
The sympathy of the whole coast was
with California in her fight, and there
will be general regret, if this amend.
ment passes. A day or two will tell
whether our sympathy has been wasted.

FLAX WOULD SOLVE THE PROB

A COMMUNICATION in yesterday g
"a Capital journal stated that II. A..
Brewer, the new manager Of the
Portland Linseed Oil Works would fur
nish fourteen pounds Of flax seed free
to farmers desiring to make test Of
growing this crop, and that seed in
larger amount would be furnished at
cost. This paper sometime ago brOach-

spent both time and money to demon.
strate that the Willamette valley was

Tior to the best Belgian or Irish prod

nate conditions, fire among them, and
failure Of the community to properly
back up his efforts, caused him to drop
the matter. Salem needs factories, and
must have them, before she can strike
her gait, and reach forward towards her
ultimate destiny. Flax offers the sOu-
tion Of her most difficult problem, that
Of getting product to manufacture.
With power from the Santiam easily
available, and with flax growing once
established, Salem should be, win be the
Belfast Of the Pacific coast. Its manu-.
facturo requires much labor and, this Is
where its Importance to Salem comes in
II would be the part Of wisdom to en-.

With one small factory in successful

Trade Salem 3 business men should in.
vcstigate, and put up the finances nee.
cssary to starting the industry, Mr.,
Bosse, or some othor expert, could cas-
lily be secured to take charge of a small
plant, and try it out, The possibilities
Of the industry are so vast, that we
should never rest until we have a plant
in successful operation or have demon
strated that it is impracticablc, The
experiment should be tried, for it il
money well spent, even II it is lost.

One Of the m"st remarkable and
most artistic of twenty -four hours rec
ords stands to the credit Of Sir Edwin
Landseer. who had promised picture
for the spring exhibition of the Royal
British institution in lS45. On the day
before the opening he was found
standing in front Of an untouched can
vas. II shall send that to the lnstitu-
ton tonight. a finished picture" he de-
clared to the astonished messenger
who had been sent by the hanging
committee to see If the promised pic
ture was ready, "and have consequent
ly given orders not to be disturbed"
True to his word, Landseer put the
finishing touch to his canvas and dis.
patched it to Pail Mall that very even

LUNA'S MIGHTY PEAKS.
Popularity Of the Ring Mountains Of
the Moon,

Popularity Of the Ring Mountains Of
the Moon.
The moon IL really and truly great
planet of mountains. its whole visible
surface being dotted with elevations of
curious shapes and of extraordinary
height. We say ''its whole visible sur.
face" and hasten TO explain that we
make this statement simply because
the eye Of man has never seen but one
side of the surface of the moon.
What we see convinces us that the
little planet Is extremely mountainous.
for on the END" exposed to our view
there are no fewer than 10000 peaks.
varying In height from 1000 feet to
four miles When we consider the fact
that this lunarlan world is only one
thirty-second part rs large as the earth
we can easily see why 1t deserves the
title Of the ''planet of great noun
tains"
There Is a peculiar thing about these
10000 moon peaks. Each and every
one of them has ringlike form. the
open end of the conical point being Of
greater or lesser diameter, according to
the height Of the mountain. In low
grade telescope these peaks resemble
true volcanoes. but when viewed
through high grade glass It is seen
that the depression in the center Of the
queer ring mountain" is often 80 great
as to be below the general level Of the
surrounding country.
The depth of these depressions is
calculated in a curious manner. by f1g-
uring on the relative shadows they cast
when the sun is shining full upon them.
The diameter Of these ring noun
tains" varies greatly. some Of the
larger ones being so. 100 or even $50
miles. while the smaller look like post
holes when viewed through good tel
escope.

tARIEGATED SPELLING. e.
Mark Twain Liked II Because Il Was
So Refreshinu.

Writing in the Hartford Conrant on
MARK Twaiu," pr. Edwin l.. Parker
OF Hartford said:
"lu 1876, according to my memoran-
dunn. notable spelling match took
place at the Asylum Hill Congrega-
tonal church. III which some thirty
persons. under their respective cap
tains. took part. Among these con-
testants were DR.. Burton. Judge Car
penter. Charles Il. Perkins. Mr. Glenn
ems. Mr.. Twichell. Charles II. Clark,
General Hawley. Miss 1'rumbull. Miss
Blythe. Miss Burbank and Miss Stone.
At last there were left standing only
Dr. Burton and Miss Stone. and the
gallant doctor took the first oppor-
tnnity to make an error and so to
leave Miss Stone the winner.
But this notable contest was pre-
reded by a preliminary speech in
which Mr.. Clemens wittily criticised
the supposed necessity OF having any
uniform and arbitrary way of spelling
words. Among several amusing illus
tratIons of his argument was one as
follows: i have n correspondent whose
letters are always n rcfreshment to
me. there Is such breezy, unfettered
originality about his orthography. He
always spells kow with large X.
Now. that Is Just as good as to spell
1t In the conventional way with u
small one! Ii is better. for 1t sug-
gests to the mind Il new. grand and
Impressive creature
Nevertheless. in the contest that
ensned Mr.. Clemens produced no .su-
perb effects Of varigated spelling.' but
stood up among the last five, If my
record Is right. only Mr. Clark. Miss
Keep. DR.. Burton and Miss Stone out
lasting him."

ARABIAN JUSTICE.
convctins Thief by the Ordeal Of the
Redhot Knife.

The ordeal Of the redhot knife IN
thus described by Abdul.ah Mansur u;.
Vyman Bury rs he saw 1t in The
Land OF Uz." Tie ease YVES one Of
theft from a aafd7an. Two young men
were implicated, one palace slave. the
other young Arab. n native of the
oasis. Each accused the other. with
many oaths and much mutual vilifica
ton. Finally both invoked the ordeal
of the knife.
In dHe course venerable Arab ap.
peared. bringing the instrument with
him. His family for generations had
possessed the hereditary right to adj
minister the ordeal. The knife seemed
very ordinary piece OF hoop iron.
shaped roughly into a sort of blade
about eighteen inches long. The name
and attributes of Allah were engraved
upon it. and it was fitted with n plain
wooden haft.
An attendant brought howl of
water and Il brazier of live charcoal, in
which the knife was inserted The
AidD HOuli received tne ordeal ArSt.
He repeated his assertions OF innocence
and. rinsing out his mouth with water.
put out his tongue. which was seized
at the tip bv the owner OF the knife
The instrument glowing dull red. was
drawn from the brazier. and with 1t
three light blows were struck upon the
victims tongue. which was then in
spected. II merely showed slight
white marks where the hot iron had
fallen.
The slaves turn then came. and
whether he flinched at the contact of
the hot lror or had failed to keep his
tongue sufficiently moist cannot say,
but the hent of the blade picked off
small patcr Of skin and showed
bleeding surface. According to the
rules Of th" ordeal. that proved his
guilt, and he was led away to durance
vile.
