The most remarkable thing about the
cross-examination of Smith by the 1e-
PENDANT was the fact that Holmes stood
up in the cage so long and asked the
questions as if he of all was least con-
cerned. His questions, for the most
part. were trivial and took on import
ance only when the answer given was
unexpected.
Holmes did bring out a new point
from the witness, however, with all his
lack of knowledge of how to go about
it. He got Smith to say that it was not
he, Holmes, alone who looked for all
the marks of Identification on the body
Of Pietzel.
One of the physicians who was in at
tendance with the coroner looked for
the mark in the bone of one leg. and
Holmes did not do it alone, according
to the latest story TOLD by Smith. If
Holmes had understood anything of law
he could have got Smith all tangled up
in no time.

time IN the Cooks inlet region of
western Alaska, tells the Alaska
Mining Record the following story
of the fruit to be found there: On
the peninsula are large areas of
huckleberries and black currants
and cranberries, hundreds of acres
in extent. These berries are finer
by far than [ ever saw anywhere
else. The cranberry marshes of
Michigan and the blueberries of the
eastern states are nothing, either
in quality or quantity, to these.
They are larger, sweeter and more
plentiful"

WEATHER-CROP REPORT.

ton during the past week has been
warm and without rain. This is
the beginning of the fifth wee of
drouth which has remained prac-
tically unbroken since July 9TH, the
only exception being light showers
on July 2Sth, and few scattering
traces of rain. The weather has
been favorable for harvesting, which
has continued throughout the week.
As more grain is harvested and
threshed it is seen that the yield IS
better in quantity and quality than
was recently expected, though by
no means the crop there was reason
to anticipate earlier in the season.
Oats and fall wheat have Jared the
best, while barley and spring soWn
wheat have suffered the most, the
reason for oats not feeling the drouth
being that the bulk of the crop is
raised on low, moist land. The IT.
igated sections have grown an album
dant crop of grain this season.
Pototoes have needed much more
moisture than they have received.
