HEADLESS BODY OF
 WOMAN |S FOUND

Seattle, Sept. 2--Decapitated and partly burned, the body supposed to be the remains of Mrs. Lee H. John son wife of Lee 1T. Johnson, the prom inent Nome mining man now in jail here charged with the murder of his wife, was found on the shores of Lake Washington this morning. Twenty feet away the head was found. The body was under pile of logs and brush that had been set on fire but had failed to burn sufficiently to ac- complish the purpose intended. De- composition and the flames have so disfgured the remains that it is inn possible to identify them, norris it pos sible to determine the method of death.
 Evidence tending to establish the guilt of Johnson is accommodating rap idly since his arrest. It has developed that Johnson's marriage to the wom- an he is accused of murdering was bigamoua and that since the death of the second wife the first wife has been living with Johnson here in Sc. attle. The first wife, Mrs. Coro John son, was deserted by Johnson in 1903 and he was married to his second wife in Nome less than year ago Mrs. Coro Johnson denies any know. ledge concerning the disappearance oI the second Mrs. Johnson but admits being aware of the bigamous mari ago.

The sheep of which therc are i24 head, are perhaps the best paying in- vostment on tho ranch. They require little attention and but little feed the year round. The breeding flock in creased over 100 per cent. the past season.
 At the Sitka station MT. Goorgcson says tho apple trees, Hyslop and Yel- low Transparent, bloOmcd last year but bore no fruit; the cherries did not have quite SO much fruit as the year before; currants, raspberries and gooseberries grew in abundance; gar den truck did well, and flowers, e8poc- tally Japanese rosc, made splon- did showing The nursery farm is sending all variety Of trees to many places in Alaska.
 Extensive experiments have been carried on for five years at Copper Center in the Copper river valley with cereals and tho station reports that the Early Riga and Velvet Chaff wheat all matured last year. All the barleys mabured, but the most prom ising variety is Ramir, seed which came from high up on the Himalaya mountains and which was secured by the government. Finnish black oats proved the most desirable oats and, although other varieties matured, this especial oat is beyond all question, MT. Goorgoson says, the best for Alaska. Of tho winter grain Amber winter rye matured, but Kharkov, a Russian winter wheat, was winter killed owing to an insunicienG snow fall. Oats sown for hay matured August IS. It made heavy cxcel- lent feed. On account of forty Yarie- ties of grasses being experimented with, nothing has been determined as to which is the best, number of well known varieties being wintorkilled on account of the thin blanket of snow. The temperature drops to DO below in the valley.
