FLAX EXPERT REPORTS. E. H. S m ith Goes E ast to C am p aign H e re . T e ll o f N. C . Portland — E. H. Sm ith, of the Am erican Linseed company, has gone to D uluth to report upon the progress of his cam paign to aw aken in te rest in the Max-growing industry in Oregon. A. P. Allcnsw orth will rem ain in the N orthw est and continue the cam paign, w ith the assistance of the Oregon A gricultural college and the larg er comm ercial organizations of the sta te , which have indorsed the m ovement thoroughly. P rio r to leaving for Duluth, Mr. Sm ith viaited the flax mill a t Cheha- lis, W ash., and secured sam ples of its fiber to send back to Duluth, prelim i nary to en te rin g into negotiations to tak e over the e n tire stock o f libef on hand, which the factory has been en deavoring to dispose of for some tim e. By assuring farm ers who w ere raising (lax for the Chehalis m ill, which has been a losing proposition in many re speets, of a m ark et for th e ir linseed a t the Portland factory, and for th eir fiber by shipping to D uluth, Mr. Sm ith hopes to influence them to con tinue flax-growing. Many have a l ready w ithdraw n or are planning to w ithdraw from flax culture, ow ing to the uncertain ties th a t have heretofore attended it. The e n tire N orthw est as a flax- grow ing d istric t is the goal toward which the cam paign will be directed. Mr. Sm ith has leased 20 acres of land near Brooks, which will be operated as a flax experim ent farm and the re sults of its operation will be turned over for the benefit of the flax fa rm ers of the N orthw est a t large. On the advice of Professor W ithy- combe, o f the Oregon A gricultural college, Mr. A llensw orth visited the farm ing com m unities of Union Coun ty to in te re st them in flax culture. He will m eet Mr. Sm ith a t Lew iston for a conference, and will then re tu rn to Portland to continue the cam paign of education throughout the state. P R IZ E S F O R B E E P R O D U C T S .

Salem — H. P. Page, of Boise, Idaho, has made application to the s ta te en gineer for the appropriation o f 417 second fe e t of w ater from Sucker creek, which rises in Idaho, and has asked to store the w a ter in M alheur county, to use for the irrig atio n of 3,500 acres of land in Oregon and 20,000 acres in Idaho. The sta te of Oregon has a 50,000- acre project in Jordan valley which derives its w ater supply from Sucker creek and stores its w ater in Idaho. The sta te engineer says th a t if the application is granted to Page there will not be enough w a ter for the J o r dan valley project, and in the event it is not gran ted there is a probability th a t Idaho will use re ta lia to ry tacticH and not allow the Jordan valley pro je c t to store w aters in Idaho.
