SAW HUMAN BODY BURNED.
Drowned Mans Decomposed Remains
Cremated at Bellingham.

BELLINGHAM. Aug. 4.-To have
been accidentally drowned or to have
met death by violence, followed by the
cremation of the body upon the rocks
of the beach, was the fate of a Fraser
river fisherman, whose badly decom-
posed remains were found floating in
the kelp near Raccoon point, Orcas is
land.
The cremation was witnessed by a
number of Bellingham people who are
camped near the spot where the body
was found.
Driftwood and brush were heaped in
a pile and, with a strong westerly
wind tanning the flames. the mans re-
mains We're hurled into the burning
mass. AS soon as 1t became known
that the mans body would be publicly
cremated, crowds came from every di-
rection. Spectators climber trees and
sat upon the banks and vantage points
adjoining the beach and waited for
the event.
The funeral pyre was kept burning
for many hours. and when the ashes
were cleared away no vestage of the
remains marked the grewsome affair.

yineless Potatoes,

The use of the United states mails
has been withdrawn from the Vineless
Potato company of Chicago and from
W. u. Darst, it's manager. Darst said
in one of his ads:
"vineless potatoes grow in bins
above ground in sixty days at cost
not to exceed cents per bushel. With
tubers selling at 81 bushel, any Kan
sas farmer could calculate in three
shakes of a lambs tail how rich he
could become in six months with a ton
of sawdust and a couple of bottles of
potatine."
One bin, 10 feet wide, 5 feet high
and 100 feet long, was guaranteed to
grow $50 bushels a season, because the
potatoes, it was explained, did not
have to lose time taking nutriment
from the soil. They could get it in
twinkling from the potatine. The only
directions were that the bins should be
ublt north and south and that the
sawdust should be kept constantly
! soaked in tepid water.
Potatine was found on analysis to bs
a low grade of sulphide of potash. The
quantity sold by Darst for $3.50 can be
produced for 25 cents.

HOPS AGAIN ON
UPWARD TREND
PRACTICALLY On II CENT BASIS
A Number of Options said to HavS
Been Taken Mt 17c-Prospects
Good for Better Prices.

The hop situation seems to be i'm
proving with each passing day. There
are all kinds of rumors to the effect
that options are being taken on crops
at lie A large portion OF the Yakima
valley hops are now tied up with con-
tracts, the amount, it is thought. ex-
| ceeding 65 per cent of the hops grown
in this section. However, those not
having contracts are sanguine of even
better prices than the 16c now freely
offered.
At Salem, Oregon, hop circles are
excited over an apparently reliable re-
port that the E. Clemens Horst Co. has
purchased 200 bales at lie If this be
true it is important in not only the
fact that it is the highest figure
reached on 1906 contracts, but also be-
cause it is an Acknowledgement by the
E. Clemens-Hort Co. that the market
is going higher The entrance of the
firm into the contract market is taken
as evidence that all hope of gexting
the goods at less price than lie has
been abandoned.
| Geo. w. Cary. who is in California,
writes the Herald from Santa Rosa
that offers of hops at 151ac are not
being taken by the growers and that
a further advance is looked for He
believes the growers in the Yakima
valley are justified in Withholding con-
tracts at present prices. as he firmly
believes hops will go higher.
The New York Journal of Commerce
of August had the following to say
of that market:
Advices from the coast report 16c
paid for contracts in Oregon. with
growers declining further business.
Up state 1Sc is freely bid. with holders
asking zoe. 1t is understood the
brewers have contracted for choice
1906 Oregon hops at 21c. Crop condi-
lions in England are worse, according
to cables. and estimates run below
100000 bales. Conditions are a little
better in Germany. but it is too late
for any material bene..l to result
Stocks on spot are practically ex-
hausted and quotations are nominal.

What waters made of, yet
To me It's plain as two and two,
It's made of drops of wet.
Then there's the air have to smile.
To think that l have guessed
In such a tiny little while
It's wind that's stopped to rest
And as for fire, it's very queer
To find such ignorance.
To me it seems so plain and clear
It's flames that hiss and dance
And then there's earth. Why, can't
you see?
l cannot understand
Why they are blind It's clear to me
That earth is made of land.
