A dead body Is lash ed to the Iron davits In the stern of the schooner General Slglin, which Is being driven aimlessly 'about In the north Pacific ocean, 110 miles west of the Queen Charlotte Islands, and di rectly In the storm track, as shown In the pilot chart of the hydrogruphlc otHee for May. The limp form changing on the davits is the only thing aboard indicating a past occupancy of human beings. This was the news brought by the sealing schooner WUlard Alnsworth, which ar rived here today from a cruise to the north and It places beyond doubt the fate of the General Siglln and those on board. The Siglin was sighted on Wednes day morning, May 5. She was lying on her right side with her masts out iuid one lying alongsideThe Alnswirlh liaised very close, but could not lower a boat because of the heavy sea, "There did not seem to be much the matter," suld Capt. E. E. Crockett, of the Alnsworth, In recounting his ex Hrienee, "save that the bulwarks wore stove in and there was no sign of a boat aboard. The body of a man dressed In oil skins was lashed to the Iron davits in the stern. He was In a standing position, wHth his left hand dangling outside and his head and right arm hanging Inside the Iron. ' The absence of the bouts oa the Sis nll would indicate that those aboard had made an attempt to get away and hopes are still entertained that some boat managed to survive the storm and was picked up by a passins vessel.

He did not test the saccharine quality of the beets, but believes that sugar can be made In Clatsop, as well as (lax can be successfully grown. A good deal of yellow corn was raised last year which ripened, and more is being planted this year. Hogs and cattle are tlie principal sources of wealth In the Nehalem. but the farmers produce their own breadstuffs and dairy pro. ducts, as well as some for sale. He said that whait they needed in the Ne halem was more roads and not so much talk about roads. "Give us roads, whloh we are willing to help build, ana people will Boon come to settle on our magnificent lands. OREGON'S GOOD CROPS. Mr. C. F. Overbaugh, traveling freight agont of the O.

In fine con dition and a large yield per tre? is promised. Hops have already beon contracted for at much better prices than they sold for any time last year. The farmers will not only have better crops this, year, but better prices, and I look for a most prosperous season." LARGE SALMON SHIPPERS FAIL Williams, Brown It Co. Go to the Kail Bccunse of Low Prices. THEY WILL TRY TO RESUME Haadled Alaska, nd Colinbia River Sal o. sad wheat to Aastrtlia Tiilare of Cotsigiee, Special to the Astorian. San Francisco, May 11. The well es tablished firm of Williams, Brown & Co., wholesale shipping and commls ion merchants, is h financial difficul ties, its Uabtlrttes are said to be about ,000. Its asset ars bolieved to be sufficient to meet moot of Its obliga tions. If creditors will grant an ex tension of time, the firm hope to re-' sume business. For the past eight years the Arm has been recognized as one of the most active houses a the Australian expert trade. In the salmon canning bualnese Williams, Brown dt Co. w-re the !eck- ers of enterprises of Icjr.ense propor tions. In handHng Uc Alaskan fish output they conducted operations that annually represented from 150.000 to 200,000 cute of ealrnou, and In their export grain trade to Australia their shipments in a season often amounted to from 30 to 40 cargoes. Since Decem ber 10 the concern haa loaded seven vessels for the antipodes, wHose joint cargoes are valued at naif a million dollars. The direct cause of the failure Is sa'.d to have beon the failure of Australian consignees to meet Inlis-dHwn against them for shipments of grain. A great deal of money was lost by. the firm in Its fruit operations in t1 Fresno mar ket, and In Columbia rl er canneries in which they were Inier-'stel. Lat year they were Urge papers of sal mam, which cost from $1.34 to 1 1.25 per dozen tins. Much of this pack was car ried over for this year's .ales, and at the beginning of the seasjn the market opened at a price of $1.05 per dozen. INVESTIGATION BOARD.
