WOOD
SUPPLY
Large Stocks of Slab Wood
Being Shipped In From
the South

Some Of the largest wood consum-
ers at Salem are shipping In slab
wood from Eugene and other points,
where the Booth.helly Company has
sawmills.
The state has bought one lot of
1000 cords, laid down at S1.95. The
freight is $1.20 per cord, and there is
to be a further reduction on that, and
wood will be lower.
The local wood famine continues,
and prices for best fir and oak are
considered very high. The prices
range from S400 to $3.50 per cord.
There is a large cut being put up in
the woods but not near what the city
will need. and cord wood will bring
good prices all fall and winter

Or. Harris. the congressional dis

party. at Eugene. is confident of the
election of Binger Hermann. He does
not concede any counties to Reames,
the Democratic candidate. except Linn
and Jackson, and they are closely
contested.
He figures that Hermann will have
from 1000 to 2500 majority, and that
there will be a decreased Socialist
vote with some possible gains among
the Prohibitlonists.
The Portland Journal. which has
made the campaign for Reames, al.
though unfair and unreliable at
times. claims the ell cuon of the Dem.
ocratic candidate. and says Reames
will carry jackson county by 800

AT Salem there is a good deal Of

Cremation has been practiced by most
of the nations of the earth from the
earliest ages, and, although in pagan
countries it may have taken the form
of fire wOrshiping there can be no
doubt that its adoption by the anclents
was for the most part prompted by
other than religious reason. Greeks
ascribe its introduction TO Hercules,
who. having sworn TO transmit the
body of Argus to his father, thought
this the most convenient way OF full
filling his promise. According to Ho-
m6r the burning OF the dead was n
common practice among the Greeks
long before the Trojan war; but the
earliest record OF IT is among the Scytl'
ians. who inhabited the vast region
known under the name Of Tartary.
Slender accounts handed down con
cprning the manners of some OF the an
cient natives of Hindustan also aliude
10 the custom. The idea Of publication
by fire was In all ages universal, ana
with good reason. Some believed that
the body was unclean after the depar-
ture Of the soul. and II was therefore
deemed necessary that II should be
purified by fire. Ovid expressed the
general opinion of his time when he
said that the soul was not completely
separated from the body until the lat
ter was consumed on the pyre. The
Athenians invariably after battle
burned the slain.

In all crustaceanS, as, indeed, in al
most everything in nature. there Is a
certain per cent of iron. Upon boiling
the lobster Is oxidized. The effect is
largely due also TO the percentage OF
muriatic acid which exists naturally In
the shell. The chemical change which
takes place here is almost similar to
that which occurs in the burning OF n
brick. In boiling n lobster its coat
ceases to be living substance, and 10 a
certain extent it takes a new charac-
ter.
IL IS as Il brick would be after burn
