0 The Gazette. Thursday, Jan. 12, 1899. Representative Flagg, of Sa. le;n, will iiitroduce a bill in the legislature to have all executions of condemned murderers to take place at the state penitentiary. Some states have such a law, which is said to be very satisfactory. If we must hang criminals, let it be done as far from the home people as possible. Such a law ought to pass. The state tax levy this year will without doubt be 5 7-10 mills, which imposes in Morrow county a tax of over $8,000, almost double that paid last year. The advance in the valuation of sheep accounts for this increase. The county tax levy is practically settled at 22 mills, while the city tax will prob ably be 6 mills, instead of 7, as last year. Considerable talk has been in dulged in recently about the possi bility of securing the Eastern Ore gon district fair for Heppner. It is claimed that a desirable location for a race track and buildings can be secured below the depot. Our local stock men are heartily in accord with the plan, but to the long-headed it seems questionable. However, a canvass on the matter would do no harm. The condition of the United States treasury now and one year ago furnishes an object lesson to the world of tne almost limitless financial resources of this country. Most nations emerge from a war with their finances in a more or less crippled condition. Not so with this country. We fought a victorious war, all on a cash basis, and we have a cash balance in our treasury of about $55,000,000 more than we had one year ago. Here are the exact figures, which wil arouse tbe envy of tbe richest na tious of the world: Cash balance on liuu.l January 1, 1898, $235,474, 709; ctiHh balance on hand Janu ary 1, 1899, $290,000,000 The department of state has jut received from Consul General li P. I'atterson, at Calcutta, India, a report showing the average mouth, ly pny in United States money, o different uorts of laborers in India. An able bodied laborer is paid from $1.00 to $2.50 a month; un skilled cotton mill laborers from $1.90 to $2.50, and skilled from $'. L OtK . I 1- I J . to vo, uouHouoia servants irom $2.25 to $3; common masons, car penters and blacksmiths from $4 to $7.50, hostler from $2 to $2 50 unskilled railway labor, from $1 GO to $2.12, and skilled, from $4 to $4.40, and cooley laborers from $1.90 to $2 25. These would seem to be beggarly wages if th em ployer fed the person employed, but they do not; the poor devils have to buy their own food.

"Many petitions and letters of inquiry comes from parties who have lived on unsurveyed lands for 10 to 20 years, asking and heping for early surveys, in order to ob tain titles to their homes. "The uiisurveyed lands of the central and western portion of the state, where the soil is of the usual alluvial character being most fertile and productive when cleared from timber, affords splendid homes and are being eagerly sought after by a good class of people. "The general contour of lands in Oregon is such as to favor irriga tion which would convert the large semi-arid tracts into fertile and productive farms, especially in the is j . , -I southern and eastern portions of the state, which have heretofore been considered worthless, except for grazing purposes for a few months in the ysar, but in the last few years large irrigation com panies have been formed and water has been conducted for miles over unsurveyed and unoccupied lands which in a few years will all be settled. "The estimate of $39,250 for the survey of 25 townships within the limits of railrod grants. The railroad companies and settlers have made many endeavors to have such snrveys, to enable the settle. ment upon thousands of acres of fine timber and agricultural land." The West.

In speaking (,f the present status uf the iltix industry in this station and tbe proHheotg for tbe future, Mr. Larimore Said : "Tlnre sre now between 6,000 and 6,000 acres planted to fl ix in Morrow, HticniiHD, Gilliam aod Kliokitat oonn. tios. Liiat year Was tbe first year that flu had bfleu planted in these oouctiea, and it was through the efforts of the Portlaud Linseed Oil oompany who for nirdicd seed to farmers that this crop wus planted. In Eastern Washington thor were probably 8,000 to 4,000 sores iu flux Inst year. This makes approx imately about 80,000 aores planted lo flax in tbe oonntry oontinoous to Portland. When it is stated that tbe Portland Lin seed Oil Company, with its present oa- paoity, oould handle yearly the product of 60,000 aores it is shown conclusively that there is a great future for the farm era in this one orup alone," In tbe matter of soil and climate Mr Liarimore gives it as his opinion that Eattern Oregon is the best region on the oosBt for the suooessful oultare of flax.

The tlux is quick iu maturing, and being sown so early t an b harvested before tbe but winds strike it. The crop can thus be got out of the iy before other orops demand tbe atten tion of the farmer. The average yield ou the count per aore is 19 bushels, and iu the E intern (Ingrowing states ouly from 10 to 13 bushels per aore. Mr. Larimore gives figures to show that fl u will net the farmer more profit than wheat and says that taking the - erae, 19 bushels of flax at 91 per bushel, wheat at present prices would have lo average 12 bushels per acre to equal the fix proposition. Mr. Larimure believes Uier ie no question but that there is n ore tnouey in flax than in any other crop ou the coast.
