About 1 o'clock ) csterday morning Dr. O.
W. Anderson was lodged in the city jail, ar
rested, as was stated in yesterday's issue, on a
telegraphic order from the sheriff of Lane
county. On his person was found a small
pocket case of surgical instruments, another
of homeopathic medicines, containing
somo eighteen or twenty small ial, a pocket
book crammed with documents of various
kinds, $'21 33 in coin, a watch chain, etc.
While being searched ho said that he was
sullering with cramps in his stomach, and
asked that lie be allowed to retain his medi
cine in order that he might take some when
ho needed it. Ho was told that if ho was ill
during flie night he would bo attended to,
and all his property was taken from him. An
hour or so after he was locked up ho called
Captain Helcher and asked for his medicine
case, which was handed him. He mixed a
dose from several of the vials and took it. He
then lighted his pipe and stood by the table
in tho center of the cell smoking for some
time. lie then took an envelope from his
fiocket and wroto a note upon it, after which
io took a small vial from his pocket and

apparently asKcp and fell to tho floor. H's

no attention to him for somo time, when his

Flax.
In tho Snako river country of Eastern
Washington considerable flax is grown, but
solely and wholly for tho seed; the fiber being
all waste matter. Up tho Willamette valley,
in Oregon, flax is grown for the fiber, and it
does as well as in Ireland, orin any part of the
globe. lit Western Washington it will do
equally vv ell, all tho conditions being extreme
ly favorable. The lack of a regular market for
tho fiber accounts for the great waste there is
when the production is intended for the seed
alone, there being as )ct in tho United States
no manufactories using flax fiber to any largo
extent. It must further be remarked that the
production of a good fiber, suitable for manu
facturing purposes, requires from the outset a
very different and much moro careful treat
ment than when the object is mctely to pro
duce seed; and after being pulled tho flax
plant has still to undergo various processes
and manipulations to make it marketable,
which the farmers have either been unwilling
or unablo to go through. On tho other hand,
tho raising of flax for the seed offers the fat-
mcr such an easy and quick way of turning
this produce into cash (as he has only to send
it to tho nearest railw ay depot, or to the next
market town, if he has not already sold it be
forehand to tho oil mill in his neighborhood,)
that he has been satisfied with tho scinty
profit w hich tho seed yielded to him. It may
bo useful and instructive to append a few
statistical data relative to the annual produc
tion of flax filiet in the principal flax-producing
countries in Kurope, in older to show the
icsul 8 obtained in countries much less favored
than the United States as to climate and soil.
The following quantities of clean flax fiber
wero produced in 18S0, respectively in the
countries named, heieiftut, with the atrcago

Referring in particular to Kussia, it will bo
remarked that tho breadth of tho land under
flax in that country is little less than four
sevenths of the entire acreage devoted to the
production of the fiber, and it alone produces
practically one-half of the total product in the
world. A largo proportion of this quantity is
raised in the governments of Archangel, Wiss-
ma and others, under the 65th degree of north
latitude, where the summer lasts little moro
than two months, and tho mean temperature
in winter is about 25 degrees Reaumur below
freezing point. Agriculturists in those remote
countries hav e to contend wi'h difficulties and
hardships of which the American farmer has
not tho slightest conception. (Jut ot the totil
annual production of 250,000 tons, Kussia e
potts at leas one-hall to Great linta i,
Fiance and Germany. Great llritain alone
receives anuually about 80,000 tons of ltu sinn
fl ix, at an avetage piice of 190 pet ton, mak
ing a total value of neatly 21,000,000 for the
125,000 tons exported from Kussia. Tlio re
mainder is consumed by tho very numerous
factories scatteted over the rorthcin part of
tho Russian empire, and wh'ch produce Trout
the finest linen and damask Tow n to the coarse
kitchen towel, known in every American
household under tho namo of "crash."
Now, as tho area undei flax m tho United
States is moie than 1,000,000 actus, it is sine
ly no exaggeration to say that the loss to the
farming community, thtough the ne-!cct ol
this branch of agncu'ture, is no less than
.'5,000,000 per annum.
It is to be hoped that these facts w ill open
tlio e)cs of our fanneis, and that many of
them will in future leve tho old beaten tn-ck
of taising flax for oced alone, and by so doim.
