A Lincoln business man says: $50
far I have resisted the temptation to
buy futures in grain, although the re-
sistance has been accomplished after
an effort. For several seasons i have
been buying and cribbng corn during
the winter season and putting it on
the market in the spring. Almost every
year, after getting the corn cribbed,
insurance paid and commissions and in
terest taken care of, 1 have found that
the corn has cost me from two to four
cents more than could then buy May
corn for on the Chicago market Yet
J have continued buying the real arti-
Gle and putting it away in cribs"
A loyal son of Washington state who
is visiting in Lincoln was taunted the
other day with Oregons lead over
Washington in the matter Of progress
siye legislation. That's true enough"
he admitted, but you must remember
that Oregon has practically only one
railroad to contend with while Wash
ington has three or four"

like that:
Well. you rnay II you like but for me l

She blushed as red as red could be,
And bit her lip as if to show

Is Ireland the original home of the
potato?
BY no means. The potato is indigen-
Gus to the plateaus adjoining the noun
famous range known as the Andes, in
Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Co
lOmbia, also the mountains of Costa
Rica, Mexico, and the United States as
far north as western Colorado. Accord
ing to Humboldt (the German natur-
alist), when America was discovered, it
was cultivated by the natives in the
temperate zone from Chile to New
Granada, but not in tropical Mexico.
1t was first found by the Spaniards,
under cultivation by the natives in the
nighborhood Of Quito, and probably
carried to Spain early in the sixteenth
century. 1t was introduced into Vir-
ginia by the Spanish explorers, and in
to Great Britain by Sir John Hawkins
in 1863 (Garten Zeitung, 1S05-page 346).
According to Sir Joseph Banks, the po-
tatoes brought by Hawkins were Of the
sweet variety. The credit iss generally
assigned to Sir Walter Raleigh, as
herewith given. In 1886 or 1886, pota-
toes were brought from North Caro-
lima and Virginia to Ireland by Sir
Walter Raleigh, and cultivated on his
estate near Cork. Although cultivated
in Italy and Spain for some years pre-
vious to that time, the earliest repre-
sentation of the plant is to be found in
Gerards Herbal, published in 1897, and
In the first addition Of Catalogus by
the same author, published in 1896, al
so in the second edition, which was
dedicated to Sir Walter Raleigh in 1899.
In the Herbal we find the first descrip-
tlon accompanied by wood cut page
7S1) called the Potatoes Of Virginia"
AS seen from the above, potatoes have
been cultivated in England more than
800 years, though not generally for
more than century, which is also true
as to our own country.

FALLS OFF BLUFF
AND IS KILLED
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
SANTA MONICA, March 16.-With
his crushed skull half buried in the
earth beneath his shapeless body, Juan
Martinez, a Puente rancher 6S years
of age, was found dead this morning on
the side of q bluff in the Santa Monica
canyon over which he had evidently
plunged head first late last night while
on his way to the home of his de-
ceased sister, Mrs. Feleticia Vermudez,
q resident of the canyon who had died
Thursday, and arrangements for whose
funeral were being held in allegiance
pending Martinez's arrival.
Accompanied by his daughter and
SON law, Martinez had arrived here
after dark last evening and the old
man at once stated his determination
to set out on the journey to the
canyon. Persons acquainted with the
uncertainness of the roads since the re-
cent rains argued in vain with the
rancher against his attempting the trip
till morning.
He was obdurate, however, and with
the declaration that he would get to
the house unless he lost his life in the
undertaking, he started out. Martinez
had wandered from the main road
when he went over the canyons edge.
The funeral Of Mrs. Vermudez was held
this afternoon.

Phones. Sunset 1901. Home 212A


PASADENA. March 16.-Little Clar-
ence Henshaw was struck by car on
North Fair Oaks avenue, near Fair
view street, this evening and the
chances are that the lad will not re-
cover. The boy, who is only years
old, was riding south on Fair Oaks ave-
nue. between the car tracks on his BIZ
cycle. The motorman rang his bell and
thought the loy was aware that the
car was coming, when suddenly the
boy turned his bicycle directly into the
path Of the flying car.
That the lad was not ground to death
beneath the wheels Is almost a miracle
AS it was he was hurleu to one side
by the car and he was frightfully in
jured internally and cut about the
forehead. His principal hurt seems to
he to the lower abdomen and he has
had almost continuous hemorrhages
ever since he was picked up.
Surgeon F. f. Rowland and the Rey-
nolds e. Van Nuys ambulance quickly
reached the scne and the boy was at
once taken to the home of his father,
Logan Henshaw, at 526 Summit avenue

BANK STATEMENT SERVES TO
RESTORE CONFIDENCE
Heavy Money Settlements Indicated
by Record Clearing House Fig

Strength to Market
Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 16.-There was a
further volatile recovery In prices today
from the inordlnate depression of Thurs
days market An over-eXtended bear ac-
count was I'm evidence in the ebulliency OF
the late upshoot. The days business,
however, showed a very large absorption
of stocks going on.
The complexion of the bank statement
had something to do with the confidence
of the market. The reduction of deposits
caused by the calling down of loans
proved sufficient to reduce the reserve
requirement more than proportionately
to the cash reduction and so to conserve
an addition to the surplus. The loan item
Is supposed to include the large prepara-
tlons for the Friday settlements of the
earlier part of the week, for greater, ef-
feet upon the averages than the loan
contraction by stock liquidation later, SO
that the effect of the loan reduction Is
expected to be carried over into next
weeks statement.
The dimensions of yesterdays. money
settlements are Indicated by today s clear
ing house exchanges, which rose to $685.
7S,315. The only time this figure has ever
been exceeded was on January 3 19O6,
when the annual settlements resulted In
exchanges of $3.50, S91.
Sterling exchange ruled at its low lever
today indicating the power of New YORK
to withdraw gold from London uniess
that step should be deemed impolitlc.
Funds were more freely offered in time
loans today with the restoration of con-
fidence and a rise in the New York eX-
change in Chicago to par has occurred.
The tenor of the United States, Steel
corporation annual report. especially the
traffic to the sustained level of orders
received since the first of the year, was
a sustaining factor in the strength of
the market. SO also was the tone OF
the mercantile agency reviews, showing
an expansion of the volume Oh business
throughout the country.
Hast profit taking made the closing
of the market irregular, but there was
excited buying still in progress.

Phone-Home 297.
LONG BEACH, March 16.-The news
of William H. Buffers death in Chi
cago hotel at 8 o'clock this morning
came as a great shock to his many
friends here. On March he left here
in splendid health, planning to visit his
old home in Luddington, Mich, and to
attend to various important business
matters. A cold contracted during the
trip to Chicago brought on the illness
which resulted in his death. Few of his
friends here knew that Mr.. Buffers was
i'll.
William H. Buffers was president of
the Buffers & Paul Investment COM
pany, 10S East First street; vice presi-
dent of the Inner Harbor Land COM
pany, president of the Strand Invest
ment company, which recently built
the Long Beach skating rink at the foot
of Locust avenue, and director in the
Orange Avenue Land company. Mr.
| Buffers owned considerable property
here, including the large apartment
house, the Strand located on the beach.
He was, moreover, identified with
every effort for civic betterment and
| was always to be counted upon in any
progressive movement. The Inner Har-
hor Land company recently subscribed
$1,000 toward the Craig Shipbuilding
company fund. Mr.. Buffers was a
thirty-second degree Mason and
Shriner. He was born in Manistee, O.,
November %, 1866.
He came to California from Michigan
five years ago. For two years he re-
sided in the northern part of the state,
moving then to this city.
He is survived by his wife, who was
with him when the end came; by his
mother Mrs Mary Buffers who lives
on Signal hill, and three brothers. These
are Walter Buffers, who left last night
for Chicago; Marshall Buffers, who is
now in this city, and Charles Buffers Of
Chicago.
The body will be buried in the family
lot in the old cemetery at Luddington,
Mich.
