LONDON, Aug. 15.-The Pal Mall
Gazette this afternoon publishes an inter-
view with Leigh Smith, the famous Arctic
explorer, in regard TO the allegation that
the Greely party were guilty of cannibal-
ism. Mr.. Smith refused to express an
opinion regarding the report. He said,
however, that it was not strange that the
survivors should have been so weak and
prOstrated if they had been living on
human flesh. Sometimes, he said, starving
men were not responsible for their
actions. He himself knew of no
authentic case of cannabalism
on the part OF Arctic explorers.
Personally, he said that he would rather
die than eat human flesh. If men under
him were reduced to such straits as those
in which the Greely party were found, be
would not sanction the drawing Of lots to
see who would die, but If the men wanted
to eat the bodies of their dead comrades he
would not object.

1877. Three children were born to them,
two Of whom survive their neither. She was
attacked by that insidious disease consump-
tion nsarly eight months piior to her death.
and although she suffered much and was
perfectly conscious that she was slowiy, but
surely passing away, no murmur was ever
heard from her lips, her deepest sslicitude
being for her sorrowing husband and chil-
dren. All that the husband assisted by good
and true friends at Sodaville and vicinity
could do was done to smooth the pathway of
the gentle and loving wife and mother to the
tomb and she passed away perfectly recon-
cilsd sure of her reward in the world beyond.
Her fuaeral at Sand Ridge cemetery was
very largely attended, neighbors and friends
thus testifying to the high esteem in which
deceased was held In the community. The
bereaved husband and motherless children

wheat.

All over the world the word wheat Is
heard mere at the present time than any
other word why, simply because 1t is
extraordinarily cheap. S5 cents here scares
us, but in the East, In England, every.
where, 1t Is proporslonately chsa p, So
long as this Is truo farmers aud Others
should take matters coolly aud not be-
come too depressed, Water win generally
find its level, aud II wheat Is 5o, It means
that other things formerly 20 to % will be
55 also; where's the difference.
Notwithstanding the present outlook
mauy are confdeat the price will come
up to at least 10. mot higher, something
to be desired, notwithstanding all water
evel seeking theories for Il at least exc
ties greater confidence.
Spring wheat looks somewhat pinched,
and most of IL Is bound TO rank second-
class. IS to so ,is all that has been of-
fered for much Of It here this week. Be-
aides being pi7chsd only abou. half
crop will be the result.
Fall wheat, though. regardless Of mum.
erous items in Portland papers. is first-
class, and this fact cannot no shaken by
Portland spectators sending samples
FROM Washington county farm to Liver
pool. The crop Is above the average in
yield. and even at low prices farmers are
going to weather it, and by judicious
management and economy, will come out
on top,

times the ability of the farmer. None of

average OF 65H bushels to the acre. ~

think he was doing well to get 1854 bushels
of 80 acres. From 10 acres OF oats, 2
bushels of seed wheat to the acre being
used he got 555 bushels, an average OF
55z bushels to the acre. Mr. Irvine's

living at Kalama, W. land himself made
sugar and syrup frem the sap OF the trees
growing on the CalipooiA, above Oakland,
In 1868. Owing to the scarcity of maple
trees In that section, they did not make
any except fer their own use. Both the
