THE WATER PROBLEM. ------- The water committee have been at work and have had two engineers look the various points over, but as yet, have not come to a conclusion as to wheie the works are to Ixs located. Several very good locations have been looked at. The best of them however is the water from Baker creek. The executors of the Sax estate have said that the city could have the old mill site with ditch, right of way and every privilage which they hold on the Baker creek water for *10,000. If the works are located at this place, the city 1ms the power for pumping plenty of water and a fine building at once and all that will have to be done will 1x5 to lay the mains, make the connections, clean the ditch deepen the reservoir and Mc­ Minnville will Ixs furnished with water. Nearly three-fourths of the water which passes through the turbine can be pum|x5d intothecity by the same turbine, thereby making the water supply of this city furnish its own power. During the night the supply of water can be lessened and the extra power gained by this can lie utilised for the electric light plant w hich can be situated in the old mill. The city can own and operate both plants and maintain them al a nominal cost and the citizens of this city who take lights and water will pay simply the ex|ienses of the plant and not the large profit which an individual company would nec­ essarily have to make in order to make the investment. The lower the rale, the better the citizens of this city will be satisfied. Yamhill waler is thought by some to be the best, but if the works are to lx> located at the most practical point, a large well must lie sunk, pumps and engines with a reservoir must be put in and at least 250) feet of main before it reaches a point where water can be taken. By using the Sax property, water takers can be reached in about 300 feet, the Ixiwor and water is already there and all that is necessary to complete the Mc­ Minnville water works will Ixs to lay the mains. ________________ ■ l.V ANIMAL. FLAX CULTURE. A dispatch from Washington says that Prof. Willetts, assistant secretary of ag­ riculture, has under consideration a let­ ter from Ireland which he thinks may offer a solution to the economic problem of what shall take the place of wheat on farms where it can no longer lie raised at a profit. The writer, who has been fa­ miliar with flax gloving and linen man­ ufacturing since 1840, says in his inter­ esting communication: “There are two establishments weav­ ing, one at Webster, Mass., and the other at Appleton, Wis., the latter doing but little, and neither weaving anything finer than trash. There is nothing in the climate or soil conflicting with the asser­ tion that just as good flax and linen mav be producer! in every state in the Union as in any country. Germany now spins and weaveB the finest lir.en, and she has no essentially different climate fiom America. Many tilings become success­ ful in America from the facility with which people take up and adopt im­ proved processes and appliances, and this may be tlie salvation of the linen in­ dustry, the importance of which there is no question. There is every reason why American farmers should produce a mil­ lion acres of flax, or both seed or fibre over and above which is now produced, which would give 12,000,000 to 15,000,000 bushels of seed, woith as many million dollars, and two million and u half tons of straw, worth *50,000,000, and from which 500,000 tons of flax fibre would be obtained, worth *100,000,000. Once es­ tablished, American invention would, as in all other industries, soon build up an industry to consume this raw material.” Prof. Willetts has informed the sender the subject of his letter would lxs earnest­ ly considered by the ilepai tment, whi h would lend its aid to any effort to in­ crease or diversify the agricultural indus­ tries of the country. DEAD BEATS in. SUGAR BEETS. It seems, by the latest Japanese ad­ vices, that the new treaty with the United States has not yet bean com­ pleted, but that tlie Japanese govern­ ment is hurrying it on in order Io have it ready before Mr. Swill’s arrival. We may assume, therefore, th.it the change of administration in this country will cans- no -1 Liv. Mr. Swifr showed, by his speech at the farewell banquet, that he appreciated the work of his predeces­ sor, and the policy of aiding Japan to at­ tain home rule is a tradition of out gov­ ernment under all parties. It is to be hoped that one of tho first acts of the senate When congress meets will be to confirm the new treaty. That ¡ b a startling story that General Butler told the other day at a Boston din­ ner concerning Admiral Porter. The General says that after Admiral Farraguts fleet had pa-soil the torts below New Or­ leans, Admiral (then Commander) Por­ ter tan away and tried to stampede • he at my of General Butler, which was lying in transports thirty miles below. The story is ridiculous, and if General Butler ever g ive utterance to so gross a miss-statement, which we are inclined to doubt, be must have taken leave of his senses.— Ex. The exposition now in progress at Paris ie a stupendous mirror of the skill, the genius, the taste and the general devel­ opment of tlie civilization of the world. Germany and Turkey are the only impor­ tant Countries not represented in this great exhipit of the industrial and inven­ tive life of the glolie. The absence of the former is readily understood to be the outcome of the political hatred between France and Germany which time deepens rather than softens. #4 Edition of Scientific American.

Oregon, and especially Yamhill county is adapted to the raising of sugar beets and more money can be made from them than from wheat, that is demonstrated when farmers clear from *40 to *50 per acre, whe.it will not bring that profit when it is worth 75 cents per bushel and that is the height of the pr ce of wheat in this eountiv.
