Lewis of Alabama was the largest man who ever held a seat in that body, weighing 408 pounds, says the Washington correspondence of the Chicago Tribune. He was a member of the senate from 1843 to 1849. There was not a chair in the chamber large enough to accommodate the form of this gia"nt. and. after break ing three or four of. the ordinary vari ety, he was provided with a large ma hogany chair. When Senator Lewis f retired, hi chair was placed in the base ment, and when David Davis of Illi nois came to the senate it was brought out for his nsc. but the Illinoisan, did not relish it. and Kt extremely w.rathy about it. and considered that a person al affront Had been offered him. He declined to use the one made for Sen ator Lewis. This chair was sent to the Columbian Exposition as the- one occupied by Senator Davi-s. This was a mistake, as he never sat in it. The chair was finally returned to the capitol and -placed i if, the basement. A few days ago Representative Hall of Texas received a letter from Dixon II. Lewis, a grandson .of Senator Lewis. The writer said he understood that his grandfather occupied a chair which had been specially made for him during his term in the Senate. An investigation vas set upon foot by the Texas con gressman and the chair was found. Mr. Ball had it condemned; purchased it. and sent it to the grandson of the gi gantic Senator. ; i ; .

May 19,) The flax industry in Oregon has by no means been abandoned. I.oea!y. for wJtit of funds, the raiing of tlax has been suspended, but the industry is be ing very extensively cultivated in Linn county. ! . E. E. Larimore, formerly president of the Portland Linseed Oil Work, but now located at Scio. where he is presi dent of the.. Scio Flax Company, was in Salem Thursday for the purpose of j procuring from member" of the Oregon : j Woman's THix Fibre Association, sev eral bundles of rlax fibre with which to experiment with ihe new machinery -that has been installed in the Scio plant. The Scio institution was or ganized and established for business about six months ago. and .is prepared to manufacture burlan. wheat sacks and i binding twine frorti the flax fibre. These products, which are largely con- ! i .1. 11 1...... 1. r... MiniVU ill 11IC JIICjr, ll.lt C linsioiuiv been made from jute jhat was shipjed here from India. Mr. Larimore says there are 1000 acres of flax' to be har csted on the forks of the Santidm and in the immediate vicinity, of Scio. The Oregon Woman's Flax Fibre Association is not actively engaged in flax' growing this year. The associat ion still possesses a large quantity of flax fibre and a lot of machinery that it is anxious to dispose of. not desiring to further engage in the culture of this product. The fact that during recent years it has developed that burlap and wheat sacks canbe manufactured from flax fibre, has caused penal institutions in Washington and California to be come interested to the extent that a plant has been installed in both insti tutions, where convict labor is employed in, the manufacture of both" of these articles. If it is desirable to furnish Oregon convicts with additional em ployment, this would probably be a good opportunity to provide more work for them and give the farmers the benefit of the product. The soil, as has been successfully proven, ts admir ably adapted t the cultivation' of flax. The 'seed can "be save'd, from which farmers can realize; $1 a bushel, while the fibre can be utilized in the manu facture of grain sacks, burlap and other useful articles. The growing of flax is remunerative employment, while the manufacturing' thereof into various ar ticles; can but prove profitable in that there will always be a large 'demand; for the products of such a manufactory., PRICES.
