City Of Necanieum Dhineorporated.

The incorporation Of towns and "cities"
in this western country Is of frequent
occurrence, but the formal and legal
abandonment Of corporate municipal ex.
istence Is not a common incident, though
il Is reported to have occurred this week
in the case of the "city" of Necanicum,
In Clatsop county, the sufficient and
sensible reason given being that the land
was much more valuable for farming
purposes than for town lots. The same
is true Of large part Of good many Of
our western "cities", and many "ad.
ditions" thereto. A considerable portion
Of the area of Portland even, plated into
town lots and called this or that "ad-
ddition", would be put to better use, and
would be Of more profit to the owners and
to the community, II II were devoted to

Popularity of Cremation.

Statistics of cremation, presented by

meeting of the society in Paris, show
that the number OF lncinerations at the
Perc Lachalse crematory has almost
steadily increased since 1889 and that
the whole number last year was Abb,
making 81 ,0GS from the beginning A
fair proportion OF the number We're
women. There are now in Europe and
America 10 crematories - Of which
are in Italy and 20 in the United
States. Cremation is making good
progress In England. where four Gre
matories are reported from, and two
are in course of erection. Germany
has six, where 423 lncnerationS took
place in $685. Switzerland and Sweden
have two each, Denmark one, and one

Facts Not often Heard About the
Beers.

BoerS.
The Dutch settled in Cape Colony
nearly 20 years before the Pilgrim Fa-
theirs landed on Plymouth Rock and
have been there ever since. 1t was in
the first year of the seventeenth cen
fury that the Dutch East Indies COM
pany landed the first party of Dutch
farmers in what is now Cape Colony
SO in this present fateful year the
Dutch are completing the third cen
fury of their sojourn in South Africa
1t was not, however, till 1851 that they
erected fort on the present site OF
Cape Town.
Numerically the Beers are the pre-
dominating white element in South
Africa. They are two and IA half times
as numerous as all the British settlers
In the country. Three-tifths of the
population of Cape Colony are Beers.
As many Beers live In that colony as
in the two republics together. Cape
Town has n large Boer population.
The citizens of Port Elizabeth boast
that their town is the most British in
the colony because very few Beers live
there
Holland did what very few colonial
powers are willing to do after a good
many of their citizens have gone to a
far country to live still under the home
flag. She sold out all her interests in
Cape Colony for cash AS one result
of European wars England secured a
foothold at the Cape, and finally in
1914 for a consideration of S15.000,00
Holland relinquished to England her
| entire colonial claims in Cape Colony.

RICH MEMS STOMACHS,

Tie magnificent Metropolitan club of
this city has been obliged to make the
bumiliating admission that tbs. patron.
age OF its 1,OG2 members is not sutfi-
cient to pay it's running expenses. The
announcement conveys painful reve-
latlon of the sad condition OF million
aire existence.
The outside world, wanting 10
wealth, Is prone to consider riches az
the source and sum of all happiness,
especially of the enjoyment of the good
things Of life. 1t pictures the fortu-
nate millionaire In an ideal existence
Of Capuan luxury and Sybaritic indul-
gence The melancholy truth is that
the average millionaire has disor-
dered stomach, a torpid liver or weak
heart and does not enjoy the society of
his fellow plutocrats. Instead of feast
ing like Sardanapalus he carefully
lunches on graham crackers and milk
A single indulgence in terrapin and
champagne would probably separate
him and his millions forever. He is
usually in bed at 10 o'clock, with q
pill box close at hand hot water bag
at his feet and n flannel nightcap on
his bald head
The average wage Garner in New
York may earn from 81 To- $50 week,
but lac has to keep his stomach in good
order TO earn his money, and with his
wealth-of body and OF conscience-he
certainly gets more fun out Of life than
the average millionaire clubman.-New

The meeting of the Board of Agriculture
would have recognized it as the same
turbulent body that had spent nearly the
whole day before in contending and in
speech making.
The matter in regard TO appropriating
the amount asked by the Agricultural
Society was brought before the board. and
the action refusing to grant the appro-
priation was reconsidered.
Mr.. r. H. Jones then moved to appro-
pirate 81, 500 to the Agricultural Society
to be used in paying premiums on agri-
cultural products at the Fair TO be held
in this city in October. The motion was
carried. The chairman was authorized
to appoint a committee of seven mem
bers of the board, who are to have charge
of the disposition of the funds.

this committee: Major W. A. Graham
chairman; Messrs. ]. B. Coffeld, r. H.

Mr.. Stevens was placed on the Test
Farm committee.
The Finance committee to whom the
budget for the next six months had been
re-referred, for the purpose of having it
scaled brought in their report. The
Budget, as presented to the board carries
a total appropriation of $26,643 The
available assets amount to SIG, 800 OF
this amount 600 is of the unexpended
appropriation from the March budget, and
it is likely that there will be balance
left after the expenditures called for in
the present budget.
The chair appointed the following gen
tlemen on the committee to represent the
board at the convention Of Commission
ers of Agriculture of the Southern States,
to be held here the latter part of August
