It will, in fact, take a position in the front rank from now on. Accidents. On Monday out on Mr. Robt. Foster's place, a lad named Mildred Hays, aged about, twelve years, was caught in some part.of a threshing machine, where by his right arm was badly torn and man gled, f On tho same day near Siiedd. on his brother's place,' Rev, Mr. Achcson. while visiting the threshing grounds, was caught in the machinery 'and had his arm broken between the elbow and wrisfc.

We spent a few moments on Wednesday evening in the new flax mills so recently erected in our midst. The factors' occupies the hand some building erected by E. Cartwright some 3-ears ago for a soap factory, now the property of the Farmers' Company a two story frame with a basement. Only a por tion of tlie machinery has been placed in position, but that was busy at work spin ning out flax at a lapid rate. Tlie machin ery is about the handsomest we ever saw in any factory, and is turning out most ex cellent work. Atf present the .factory, is turning oat machine and shoe threads, upholster, broom, sail and sewing twines, fish lines, linen yam, etc The power for running the machinery is afforded by the Santiam Canal, and so far as we could ob serve there was neither break or jar in the running ot the machinery, everything working smooth and nice. This is an im portant industry, and we hope to see it grow and Increase into huge- proportions in the coming years. Look at those new style hacks at E.'

Owing to a decline in prices of wheat at Llverbool the price has dropped in. San Francisco and elsewhere, buyers not anx ious to purchase not knowing what tho fu ture has in store. As we intimated last week, when tlie war between Russia and Turkey was opened, it was believed that Russia would be una ble even if willing to furnish her usual sup ply of wheat to England, and tlie United States would be called upon to make this deficiency good, and that the price of wheat would be greatly advanced. Notwithstand ing the high price wheat has commanded in the Liverpool markets forsometlme past this country has not taken advantage of those prices, as our exports of wlieat to England during tlie last quarter are much less than for the same period last year. On the other hand Russia, during tlie month of June last, exported to England $5,140,000 worth ot wheat, while for the corresponding month ot last year the value ot her wheat exports were but $865,000, Through tle combined influences ot war and the recent advance in the price o grain in the English maikets, Russia has m: d unusual exertions, it would seem, to send her grain to market early. Any hope therefore, that the war between Russia and Turkey would aid in keeping up high pri ces in the English markets for wheatby diminished sunolics from Russia, have been abandoned. The weather so far in Central Oregon has been favorable for harvesting, and the grain is being rapidly secured and placed in the warehouses. A good deal of com plaint is made of tlie damage caused by rust, but we hope the loss has been some what exaggerated, and when the liar vest is over the real loss will be small as compar ed to the grand total. Considerable wheat has been sold or con tracted at fl per bushel in this county. Quite an amount of oats has also been sM at prices ranging from 50 to 52c per bushel. A great deal of the wheat harvest ed this season will be bound and the straw saved for feed. From what we hear there will also be more attention paid hereafter to rotation of crops. Fields that have been seeded to wheat year after j'ear for time immemorial almost, will be allowed a rest .ALBANY MARKETS. Wheat Nominally, $1. Flour Per 50ft sack, fl 75. Oats per bushel, 50c.

The report upon the Internal commerce ot tlie United StarM lis a hhim intniwatintr atstomanta knnl .it ,1, nMutnAlInn ." K-,3a..4VU t this country and in Great Britain; which' cannot fail to attract thoughtful readers It seems that tlie wheat crop ot Great Brit ain and Ireland is in round numbers 100, 000,000 bushels. Tliat of the United State is 292,000,000 buslieh. Nothing is said about tlie rye, barley, and oats crops of the United Kingdom. They may be larger" than those ot this country but this is not probable. ' But our corn crop is an entire' offset, there being nothing ot :tie kind grown in the British islands, and the quan tity Is simply marvellous. It it stated at 1,821,000,000, or more than thirteen times the wheat crop of those island. The population of Great Britain and Ire land is now about 33,000,000. That of tlm United States is about 43.000,000. Tb consumption ot wheat itrt&at iiugdom U 1 OOO fMIO nr unfirlr rlnnl.lo ilia rnnnnnC of the borne product. Tlie consumption of wheat in the United States is 218.000,000, 1 caving n surplus of production over coit-' fumptlon amounting to 74,000,000, which was exported to foreign countries." ; Of the 1,321,000,000 bushels of Indian corn produced in tne 1 nitea urates, amy 51.000.000 were exported, leaving 1,270,000- 000 for home consumption. ' In effect, how ever, the home consumption of corn was ter short of this amount, as a large per cent of it was used to fatten beef and pork for exportation, as' well as to be manufactured1 into spirits, which wis sent abroad. This large exportation of breadstuff's and provisions to Europe and other parts of the world has been rendered practicable' within the last few years by the construct--. . ,, m . ., ion or toe several lines oi iruns rauruaos between the east and the west, and the great reduction of tlie freight charges on inland transportation which has followed. It is a gratifying fact that the consutnp-' tion of Indian corn in tlie United Kingdom' isranidlr Increasing, and that during tho - year 1876 the weekly consumption was 1,390,730 bushels against 771,078 In 1875v This commerce in corn Commenced in' 1846 as a consequence of the Irish famine- It required the pinching of hunger to in- . duce the Britons to use Indian corn bread, but they are beginning to appreciate- its value, and to eat it with satisfaction'.
