"I've got this by searching the rec ords of some property owned by a Mrs. Prendegast. who bad recently died in the John Brown hospital, aged niuety-two years.

When she got well her memory had left her. She didn't know who she was or where she came from. She was allowed to stay there and lived more than fifty years there and lu that condition. Just before she died her memory came back to her. She said she was Sarah McDermot Pren degast Deeds to property were found where she had kept them In a trunk.

OWNERS CAN FIX PRICE OF BUTTER For the bear In the butter nWkct the outlook just uow eeui to be any thing but hopeful, and the Impres sion Is gaining ground that In at tempting to force the market down when there was neither a surplu nor any prospect of a aurplu In any iiuarler they undertook amnethlng thr-y could not by any possibility put l h rough. Instead of a surplus such a to war rant lower limitations at thl tlmu, there li beyond iuesllon a erlou shortage In the market of the Coast country generally, and what I char-aslerl.-d by a dealer as a "frenzied grab for butler." has developed with in the past few days, and Instead of cents, M and liii cents appears to be the going prices on tho product In the local market Xoaitlc and San Kram Isi o are both In the market In a largo way for Oregon butter." Bald one of tho best known dealers, "and we llndjt Im possible, to get supplies sufficient to lake cure of tho orders coming. Any one having butter to sell can almost get his own price for the stuff, and It would probably b safe to quote 25 and 27 cents on the product at thl time." Totato market Is bo quiet for out side demand that many consignments are being made by Willamette grow era, to the San Francisco market. During the past rew uays a very heavy amount of stock has been going In that direction on commiBsin ami has had the effect of defeating tho verv nut nose that the growers sought the obtaining of better values. It Is oulte natural that potato aeai- .r who are "long" on supplies of their own purchase, are not going to sell the other fellow's stock first when the outlook Is poor, on mo oiuer han consignments to houses that are not "long" means that many will taku advantage of the situation and break prices to punish speculators out an at the expense of those who consign. Offerings of potatoes are very no- eral locally. SPOT HOP MARKET IMPROVEMENT FORD' THE UNIVERSAL CAR A danger signal!

The I'ortland I'nlon Stock Yards Company reports as rollows: Receipt for the week have been, cattle ir,7:i; calves R2; hogs 15-10, sheep 4S'i!l; horses 23. The cattle market has been stendy to strong at a very hlgn range ot prices throughout the week. Sellers have been predicting a higher mark et, but the larger handlers of cattle In the Northwest as a matter of pro tection have contracted enough sup plies to guarantee them against fam ine until mid summer, and In Borne In stance Inter. When beef reaches a certain altitude consumers take the matter In hand and buying falls off. I'aylng present prices for cattle on a speculative basis Is not considered safe. Leading packers are of the opin ion, except in rare Instances, that the market will not go higher. The hog market advanced a dime during the week. There was only a medium supply and the offerings were snapped up eagerly at the prevailing strong prices. The sheep market was steady to strong at the previous week's range of prices. POTATO MARKET FAR FROM ACTIVE I Everywhere In the country a very ! slow tone is showing in. the potato trade. Expectations of holders for an Improved market have thus far faJl 1 ed to materialize. i Huslness passing at country points , Is of small moment So far as the outside call Is concerned, there Is practically nothing doing. It is now asserted that the big California boost ers, instead of purchasing supplies are trying to unload their accumulations. Quite liberal purchases madebyCal-i lambs, 4c aitl Ic. Tho situation In the hop trado Is much better both for spot goodB and for contracts. The first crop dumage news of the season has been received irtid strange to say It comes from Eur ope, where the first news of trouble appeared from last year. A special mail advice says that In Styrla (Pteyemurrk), which Is In tho southern pnrt of Austria, Bover dam age htu been done the vines by cold weather. Tho district Is n very early one, and as heretofore the damago can be more eafely estimated man in most other sections. From (lennnny comes word that the frosts thero hnvo put the crop hack ward, with some Blgns of dumage. A London advice says that tho hop yards of tho lowlands have been dam aged by the Hooding of tho ground, which for weeks at a time was under walor, and sour roots are feared. The advice says that whenever thlB condi tion has appeared there tho crop has never been heavy. Thirty-nine cents Is freely offered ror hops, but growers are not offering below 4ic, and It Is doubted If even that figure will secure a supply.
