NEHALEM CROPS.

Mr.. w. II. Lewis, postmaster at
Jewell. and a well-knowu rancher of
Nehalem, is in the city. He says that
the farmers in his section are all doine
well this season. Winter wheat is IS
inches high and spring wheat is inches
out of the ground. Oats, barley. field
peas-all do well. The peas are turned
into pork. Some time ago Mr.. Lewis
raised sugar beets, which grew pro-
liically and made fine feed for cattle.
He did not test the saccharfne quality
Of the beets, but believes that sugar
can be made in Clatsop. as well as
flax can be successfully grown. A good
deal of yellow corn was raised last
year which ripened, and more is being
planted this year. Hogs and cattle
are the principal sources of wealth In
the Nehalem. but the farmers produce
their own breadstufts and dairy pro,
ducts, as we'll as some for sale. He
said that what they needed in the Ne
halem was more roads and not so much
talk about roads. "Give us roads
which we are willing to help build, ana
people will soon come to settle on our
magnificent lands.

Failure Of cossisase.

San Francisco. May 1.-THE well es-
tablished firm of Williams. Brown &

sion merchants. Is IN financial difficult
ties Its liabilities are SAID to be about
100000. Its assets are believed to be
sufficient to meet most Of its obIisa-
tions. II creditors win grant an ex-
tension of time. the firm hopes 70 re-
sumo business.
For the past eight years the irm
has been recognized as one Of the most
active houses N the Australian export
trade. In the salmon canning business
Williams. Brown & Co. were the back
ers Of enterprises OF Immense proper
tons. In handling Tie Alaskan fish
output they conducted operations that
annually represented from 10000 10
100000 cases Of salmon, ami In their
export grain trade to Australia their
shipments in a season often amounted
to from 30 to 40 cargoes. Since Decem-
ber 10 the concern has loaded seven
vessels for the antipodes. whose Joint
cargoes are valued at naif million
dollars.
The direct cause Of the failure Is said
to have been the failure of Australian
consignees to meet bills drawn against
them for shipments OF grain. a great
deal Of money was lost by the firm In
its fruit operations in the Fresno mar
ke,. and in Columbia rlyer canneries
in which they were interested. Last
year they were large paeAers Of sal

FATE OF THE sIGLIN.
Seen Floating in the Pacific With a
Dead Man at Her Stern

Seattle, May ia dead body is lash
e1 to the iron davlts in the stern OF
the schooner General Siglin, which is
being driven aimlessly about IN the
north Pacific ocean, 1l0 miles west of
the Queen Charlotte islands, and dl-
rectly In the storm track. as shown in
the pilot chart Of the photographic
office for May.
The limp form hanging on the davlts
is the only thing aboard Indicating a
past occupancy Of human beings. This
was the news brought by the sealing
schooner willard Ainsworth, which ar
rived here today from a cruise to the
north and it places beyond doubt the
fate of the General Siglin and those on
board.
The Siglin was sighted ON Wednes-
day morning, May 3. She was lying
on her right side with her masts out
end one lying alongside The Ainsw)rth
passed very close, but could not lower
a boat because Of the heavy sea.
There did not seem to be much the
matter" said Capt. f. E. Crockett, Of
the Ainsworth. in reconting his eN-
perience, save that the bulwarks were
stove in and there was no sign OF a
boat aboard. The body Of man
dressed in oil skins was lashed to the
iron davits in the stern. He was In
a standing position, with his left hand
dangling outside and his head and
right arm hanging inside the iron.
The absence of the boats on the Sis-
nil would indicate that those aboard
had made AN attempt to get away
and hopes are still entertained that
some boat managed to survive The
storm and was picked up by passing
vessel.
