Anderson's Awful Dlsoorery. . 1 Steffen Anderson, Who haa a reat- . dence at South AlkL described tbe find ing of the body In his report to the coroner as follow: I started out in the boat yesterday mornir.g. i nouoea a large Saratoga trunk on the beach about 100 feet above "the high water mark. The receding tide bad left it mere. The. trunic was locnea . and waa roped witBTa heavy line. I be lieved I hud found something out of the . ; ordinary for trunks fio not float up on the beach at Soutn-Alkl often. I tok the trunk out on the beach, cut the ropes hnd managed to open it Under the lid were 10 Stones each about six Inches in diameter'. They were piled on top of a .' mass 'of clothing. 1 threw off the stones but by that time the stench that, aroae from . the trunk was sickening . Then it waa that I realised that the box , held some dark secret and waa of the 'opinion I would better inform the police. "Throwing off a couple of garments " ' I thrust my hand down in the wet mass : to throw out more. My hand came In - contact with a aoggy maaa of human i- hair, and I knew that it was on the 4 head of a human being. After throwing out mere clothing tbe nude body of a , young woman about II years old was found. J "The body bad been In the water at 1 L least two days and the woman bad been : deaU probably . longer. The features . were, somewhat obscured by the action ; of the water, however, it could be seen . that the woman was between 18 and II - years old. ' The mouth was filled with , a piece -of dark blue cloth probably from , "a vest . A gag had been' thrust into -., the -mouth and a - large necklace of dark color had been ' tied about the head to keep the gag in. The body was clothed in nothing but a very thin un oervest which -was ud under tbe arms.' Beneath above and around the body waa. a mass of clothing of all sorts. " ' '"Women's clothes predominated. There t were several articles of men's attire . Which consisted of a pair of blue over falls, a vest, several pairs of socks, two ' , soft shirts, several neckties and a couple . of pair of shoes.

Mr. line present route until spring, uunrai nu omn in ior many montna with a cancerous, growth on his face. that the quality of the hops picked this year Is better than for many years. whils the quantity Is lower. Indicating that the growers are bound to receive a high price for their product Mr. Cooper has a large yard near Corvallls. He said: "With about two thirds of last year's crop picked this year, we can look for better prices. The quality this year is far superior to that of former years. This fact, coupled with the short crop, ought to send the market up. Prices are now -ranging around 9 cents, but I understand efforts sre being made to buy at 10 cents. "There has been a wide dlverjrence on eatlmates of the Oregon yield. Durst plnces the crop" at 80,000 bales, which Kiaber, wolf & Netter estimate tne crop at 130,000 bales. I am inclined to be lieve that Durst comes nearer the mark than the other firm. "About one third of the crop has been left upon the vines because of the i mold. This will not be picked because the price does not warrant it Witb a short crop in Oregon, Washington, New York, England and California, brewers win have to come to toe growers, in California the yield was cut down by lice and mold. England's crop is esti mated at a little more than 800.000 hun dredweight, which is less than one half tne mammoth yieia or iu. continental crops are normal, but the average yield I over the world la sucn as to arrant the grower holding for a higher price." Mr. CooDer said that hla yard near Corvallls would yield about one half the crop picked last year. Normal School Sends In Fees.

Perhaps the most singular mining discovery in the history of the state haa occurred near this city, Where in an abandoned grave yard a strike of rloh copper has been made. Several years ago the city council bought a tract in Kcven-Mlie gulch, Just west of the limits, for a cemetery. After the purchase had been made and the ground fenced it was dis covered- tnat wnen an interment was to be made it would be necessary to blast out the grave, so near the surface was the country rock. In consequence only one burial was made in tne grounds. For several years the city iad leased the land to prospectors and others, but it remained for Thomas Hocking to mane the ricn striKe. waving Deen a leaser of tbe plot, he made an offer to the city ior its purchase ana the coun cil was more than willing to sell. Hocking's faith in the property was not r oniv Barley, Bread and Beer These three words sre -derived from the same Anglo Saxon root breotvan. X All three are foods.
