One Man Rescued From Bottom o SklS Died Before He Reached Shore High "Wind Hu Been. Blowing: Two Days. VANCOUVER, B. C, July 23. The heavy gale which has been blowing for the paEt 48 hours la responsible for two known deaths, and there Is every reason to believe that 8 or 10 other men have been drowned In the storm-tossed waters. Last night two Indians found an up turned boat off the middle! arm of the Fraser River, and upon. Investigation found a man clinging to it and support ing himself in the water among the floats of his fishing net. The man did not live to reach shore.

Manager James Winstanley, of the Oregon Hop srowers' Association, received advices from New York today to the effect that 50 to S3 cents has been offered in that state for hops of the crop of 1902. Based upon this news, Mr. "Winstanley concludes that 25 cents or better will ooon be of fered In Oregon. There is always a dif ference of i cents per pound between the prices In New York and in Oregon. It Is also reported that eales of Oregon hops of 1002 were made moro than a weok ago In New York at 26 cents, which would mean 22 cents here. Mr. WJnstanley's correspondent predicts 50 cents as the price which will be reached later In the season. So far as can -be learned, no offer has been made here of more than 20 cents. One dealer aald a few days ago: "Hops are worth more than 20 cents. but there is no use to offer it unless 25 cents can Tie named. A grower who won't sell at 20 cents will refuse 22, or 24 cents. At the even figure of 25 cents, which some growers have set their minds upon, some sales might be made. But there la no use making any offer at all until we can give 25 cents. When that point is reached and a few sales are made, the remaining growers will hold for 20 cents or more. I do not say that 25 cents will be reached, but that growers will not sell at less than that Just now. Whilo I expect hops to go up, I wouldn't want my name to be con nected with such a prediction, for some -would question my motives, and If the prediction should not come true I would be laughed at. Growers must study the market and sell .when the conditions seem best and not follow any man's predic tions." "This weather is perfect, and Is do ing us loto of good," says Mr. Winstanley. "Even if we do not get a drop of rain from now untlj thq hops are picked we -will have a good crop. Continued hot weather would reduce the yield, but im prove the quality. It is desirable that the present weather continue, .a week longer and then a drenching rain will do good. After that we will want warm weather again. "The, hot weather is killing off the lice very rapidly, nevertheless I am spraying and shall keep at it. Spraying is expen sive, but I am too poor a man to neglect It. Spraying Is a sort of insurance on the hop CTOD. If the cnnrliHnn., mni favorable it appears as though the grower tcca u return ior ms spraying, but if the weather Is favorable to the propaga tion of lice the grower who sprays gets the benefit of his Investment. The poor man cannot afford to take the chance of losing his crop, in order to save the ex pense of spraying." Mr. Winstanley estimates the Oregon crop at SO.000 to 85,000 "bales, but says that no good estimate cambe made until the hops have formed, so Yhat it can bo known how thick tho burns will be on the "WASHINGTON COUNTY SCHOOLS.

So far, only four persons have been de cided on for the "meritorious service" medaL These- are Lieutenant Richmond Pearson Hobson, for bis well-known feat with the Merrimac; Lieutenant Ward and Lieutenant Buck, for their perilous Se cret mission Into Spain, and Lieutenant Victor Bine, for his famous work In con nection with the location of the Spanish fleet In Santiago Harbor. It Is understood that meritorious ser vice medals also are Intended for the American officers and men who rendered exceptional service Jn the rescue of tne drowning officers and men of the deteated Spanish fleet at Santiago. The reports of the rescue showfd that the Snanlsh them- l selves shouted warnings to the rescuers not 10 approach for fear of the exploding magazines, but the Americans persisted In their efforts to save In the face of Imminent destruction. The main function of the award board is not to specify In dividuals for recognition, but to select certain service which it deems worthy or commemoration by medals. CZARS TRUST CONFERENCE. Stnte Department Has Received a Copy of the Note. WASHINGTON. July 25. Through the United Statce Chargo of Embassy at St. Petersburg. Mr. Riddle, of the State De partment, has Just received a codv of thf. Ru6lan note touching upon trusts, which uu3 excuea so much comment in Europe. Thi3 note. which takes the form of a circular, was Identi cal and was handed in St. Petersburg to the representatives of all the powers that participated in tho Brussels sugar con ference, and in addition, to Mr. Riddle, for transmission to his Government at Washington. It Is eupposed the Russian Government supplied this to the United States as a matter of information and as a courtesy. Certain It Is that In the present view the United States executive cannot participate In such a conference 1 A. ,. j ... - ,...... 7Z" ""-' "' lu' uy re"aon mas ...u. kaiiuui i-o ra;uiJuu, even li. Lucre wcic no other objection. From a perusal of the note it appears that Its references to trusts have at tracted the principal share of public atten tion, although the whole note appears to be framed as an argument In support of the Russian system of regulating sugar production and export. The reference to an International truct conference is actually, therefore, presented In the shape of an alternative proposal, or rather in gestion, only In case the soundness of the Russian contention In support of Us present system Is successfully challenged. The State Department cannot do more ot this stage, than It has done, namely, a return of polite acknowledgement through Mr. Riddle of the note, and watch devel opments In Europe It Is not supposed that there will be at once any action toward calling another cqngrcs3, but rather that the discussion as to the char acter of the Russian system of regulation of sugar production will proceed, certalnly up to the date set for the application of the agreement reached at Brussels for the stoppage of sugar bounties and the exclusion from Importation of bounty aided sugars. That action will. It Is ex pected, precipitate some decision upon the Russian proposals. WILL VISIT NAVY-YARDS. Secretary Moody on n Tour of In spection. WASHINGTON. July 25.

The Experience of Mrs. Prazak, Wife of the Tovrn Clerk of Mlllers- ville, Minn. The woman with the responsibility of a house and family on her shoulders has always been given t overdoing herself. As a result, almost every day we hear of one breaking down. Her nerves have given way or her strength has failed. Such was the experience of Mrs. Prazak, wife of J. M. Prazak. Town NCIerk of Mlllersvllle. Douglas County Minn. She says: "I had been sewing a great deal and it was too much for me. Between that and my other household duties I began to be very nervous, I had no appetite, and there was a feeling of heaviness around my heart, so bad at times that it seemed aa if I couldn't get any air. I was so nervous ahvaj-a that any little thing would upset me. Nothing "that I could do gave me any relief, and It became so bad that I was obliged to neglect' my housework. I had nervous prostration. "Some time in March, after I had been suffering for several months. I heard of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and began taking them. I felt a Httfe better, and that made me willing to give them a thorough trial. I took the pills regularly for two mentha and by that time my health was com pletely restored. "I am glad of this chance to tell how easily and thoroughly I was cured by Pink Plils for Pale People. I keep them In the houso all the time, and srrongly recommend them to all who are afflict ed as I was." The pllio which cured Mrs. Prazak act directly on the blood and nerves, and in that are different from anv other medicine. They cure locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sci ntlca. neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, after-effects of the grip, pal pitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexlons. and all forms of weakness either In male cr female. Dr. Williams Pink Pllla for Pale People are sold at all druggists, or will he sent direct from Dr. Williams Medicine Co, Schenec tady, N. Y., postpaid, on receipt of price, fifty cents per box; six boxes for two dollars and a half. Do not be de ceived when a clerk tells you that he has a blood and nerve pill "made from the same formula as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." He does not know what the formula Island he could not make the pills If he did.

I remove every vestige of disease wltohut resorting to those painful procefsea usually employed and which do not give satisfaction. It Is not reasonable to suppose that a man can exercise the essential functions while the urinary channel Is blocked by stricture or other disease, which destroys the ltal power and which becomes more aggravated under Improper treatment.
