Salmon Canning.

The salmon cannery of Mr.. George T.
Meyers, which was burned in West Sc
attic about month ago, has recently
been put in operation again on the water
front at the foot of Pike street.
A Telegraph reporter visited the can
merry and was kindly shown through the
establishment by Mr.. Meyers. The
operation of canning is very interest
ing one and involves quite a series Of
processes.
On the dock were about 5000 salmon
which had been brought in from the
bay Saturday night. The fish are first
placed upon large table, where two
men are employed in cutting off the
heads, fins, tails, and removing the in
testines. The men become very expert
at this and can each handle over 5000
fish day.
From this table the fish are thrown
into a vat of water, where they are
allowed to soak for some time, and are
then taken out onto another table, where
they receive thorough cleansing.
They are then thrown into another vat
of water and again allowed to soak for a
time.
From this second vat they are placed
upon a cuttingmachine and chopped in
to pieces about four inches long.
From the cutting machine the pieces
are taken in large boxes to the filing
machine. Here they are chopped into
fine bits and stuffed into cans by an au-
tomato apparatus, which is capable of
filling 48 cans minute. Before being
sent to the filing machine, however, the
cans are placed in the sailing machine,
which drops teaspoonful of salt into
each can. The filing machine requires
the constant attention of three men, and
the cans come out neatly filed with de-

A Tremendous RIaSt.

PORT ANGELES, Sept. 26.-The big
blast at Port Crescent occurred last
evening at o'clock under the super
vision of the chief engineer and other
officers. 1t was fired by electricity, Miss
Adal1ne J. Bichler, of Seattle, touching
the button.
The work on the tunnel was com
menced July 1 last. The main shaft
was n feet in length, and the transverse
shaft so feet long-45 feet each way
from the end of the main shaft.
-Four chambers were made in the
transverse shaft and equal amounts of
powder placed in each.
The exact quantity of the charge was
IS, 100 pounds Of Judson and 600 pounds
of giant powder. The tunnel was ten
feet above high water mark, and the
rocky bluff rose almost perpendicular
lob feet above. Block holes had been
made in the face of the bluff, and the
rock loosened by charges of giant
powder.
The Port Crescent Improvement
company carried forward the work.
All evening heavy fog, making it
quite dark, hung over Crescent, but
gradually as the time arrived the fog
raised slightly SO as to give full view
OF the bluff. The signals were given
i've minutes apart, and then within six
minutes a low rumbling sound was
heard and the trees on the bluff toppled
over for quite distance, and soon the
whole bluff was enveloped in darkness
occasloned by the smoke and dust fol-
lowing the explosion.
Small boats rushed to the scene filled
with eager men. Severed thousand
yards OF rock, some estimated it at 90
oO0, were loosened, and the hole made bv
the explosion of so much powder is
probably I25x5O feet.
Two large pieces of the rocky con-
glomeratlon as large as good sized
houses seem ready to topple over. The
superintendent, D. E. Plank. and the
general manager, joni E. Lutz, were
quite happy over the result.

A Loss of &SlO.OnO.

CHICAGO, Sept. 28.-The Angio-Ameri-
can Packing Company's establishment
at the stock yards was damaged by fire
early this morning to the extent of $3.50
900. The fire was one of the worst the
department has ever had to deal with.
The alarm was turned in just before 2
o'clock, when flames were seen in the
packing room. When the first engines
arrived this room was mass of flames.
Water had little effect on the grease
soaked floors, and the fire soon reached
the roof where thirty-two tanks of lard
were located. These exploded one after
another and the melted lard added fresh
fuel to the flames.
The heat was 80 intense that the fire.
men were forced back and compelled to
work from a distance. The flames then
spread to the cooling -room, where the
carcasses of nearly 1900 hogs were
stored. They burned like oil Water
seemed useless, and the twenty engine
companies at work made but little head
way. More engines were summoned,
but two hours after the fire started the
roof fell in, and the flames seemed to
spread more rapidly than ever. A
hundred streams of water were being
poured on the fire, but they appeared to
have no effect. About this time the
flames reached lot of saltpetre, and
the fumes from this stihed the fremen,
overcoming several Of them.
The fire marshals directed all the
efforts Of their men to preventing the
spread of the flames from the Anglo
American plant. Within a short dis
lance Of the establishment are several
other large packing-houses, and for a
time it was feared the flames would
communicate to them. The fremen
succeeded, however, IN controlling them.
At 6 o'clock this morning it was seen
to be impossible to extinguish the burn
ing pork, and water was thrown on it to
keep the fire down as much as possible
1t will have to burn out, and it will
probably be a day or two before it is
entirely extinguished.
The fire department succeeded in saw
ing the other portions of the Anglo
American plant from serious damage.
The loss is entirely covered by insure
ance. The company that had been con-
Quoting the business Is composed of
Englishmen. Recently, however, a new
company was formed, known as Fowler
Bros. (Limited), incorporated in Eng
land with a capitalization of 975,OOO,
with the purpose of acquiring the
business of several firms here and else
where,

the jar was almost imperceptible at that
distance. A large fir tree, geo feet high,
was sent up, with 200 pounds of powder,
into the sky shortly after the main ex-
plosion, parts of it going 200 yards in
to the bay, and the remainder no one
could tell where.
The steamer Mystic with the excursion
party from Victoria, owing to the heavy
fog, failed to arrive in time to witness
the sight. Most Of the population went
up toward the Olympics an hour or go
before the blast was touched off. This
is the heaviest blast Of powder ever
made on Puget Sound

evening with a pack train on a pros

The cans are now passed to an adjoin-
ing table, where every superhuous bit is
removed. They are then placed in the
washing machine, rapidly revolved and
cleaned by a stream OF hot water,
The next process is the placing Of lids
on the cans, which requires the labor of
five men.
After receiving the lids the cans are
sent to the crimper, the lids are crimped
on and the cans sent rolling down an in
cline through a bed of melted solder,
from which they emerge completely
soldered, and roll further down the in
cline through several streams of cold
water.
The cans are then placed in crates
and set in a trough of hot water, in
which any defect is shown by the rising
of bubbles.
The perfect cans are then placed in a
hot fresh water bath, where they are
boiled for about an hour On being re-
moYed they are placed on tables and the
tops perforated allowing the superhuous
water to escape.
The perforations are Immediately
soldered up, and the cans are placed in
large iron heater and boiled with
steam Tor about 80 minutes.
The cans are now taken ont and placed
in another bath, where they are again
washed.
They are now stored and allowed to
cool, the contraction causes q popping
sound, and tie practiced ear of the opera
tor detects Immediately the defective
cans by the sound.
The cans found to be perfect are now
lacquered with preparation OF varnish,
asyhaltum and turpentine, labeled, and
boxed ready for shipment.

cases. I would have doubled the
amount had it not been for the fire and
would have cleared about $4,000, but
as it is I shall barely come out even.

THIS STATE AT CHICAGO.

One of the subjects for consideration
by the incoming legislature will be the
representation of the state at the worlds
fair. The miscellaneous profusion of
people who have been inaugurating con-
fusion in connection with formative
epochs. have been finally pacified. and
the cloudy atmosphere has been blown
away. The money is being put I'D by
Chicago, and all the influences will now
concur to realize the grand consumma-
ton. All the states that have legislatures
in session this winter will nodoubt take
action with view to the proper repre-
sentation in the fair. California. Wash
ington and the other states further
west are already moving to make
it great advertising occasion
for their special points. Nebraska.
Iowa and other neighboring states are
agitating the subject and considering
how large an appropriation NAV be
needed. None of them speak of less
than 100000. Still. the amount is of
less moment than the skill and prudence
with which it is utilized. There are few
states that can make. more varied and
useful displays than Minnesota. Its
farm products will compare with the
best, and in minerals. ores, animals and
new manufactures it will be able to i'm
press striking object lessons upon the
minds of millions. Except in tropical
products this state will be able to show
about all things needed in the highest
civilization. Minnesota has never been
advertised like some of the other new
--rious. aud they will all be at Chicago.

SOME OF THE MISLEADING.

Even the president in his message has
a suggestion that 'misinformation' as
to effects Of the tariff has been layishly
diffused, and has created unwarranted
prejudice in regard to the high achieve
ment of the Republican party. Others
have intimated that the Democrats have
beguiled and befogged the voting ele-
ments, and melted them to the charge
that has so devastated the Republican
camps. More recent annoyance has
been caused them by the action Of the
carpet manufacturers in making the
new scale of prices, following the up
ward movements of the MCKINLEY
tariff, that went into force Dec.1 The
high tariff organs have confused way
OF referring to this action that leaves the
impression that 1t is the foreign import
ers,and not the local manufacturers. The
indianapolis organ of the president stig-
matizeS itas 'high-price conspiracy"
But they do not help their cause by this
pretense. 1t is the home manufacturers
OF carpets who have put up the prices.
They have nothing to do with the i'm
porters. la fact, the imports of the Or
binary kinds of carpets, such as the
tariff most effects, have been so trifiing
as to cut 10 figure i'll the way of eompe-
tltion with the home production. These
manufacturers are the leading operat-
orS In the country, and control the
trade. The advance of from TO 10 per
cent they attribute to the operation of
the MCKINLEY act. People who use
the common grades of carpets made in
this country, as pretty much all but
the rich do, have this increased price
to pray on an article that has never
seen custom house. The only surprise
abouttne matter is that the high tariff
organs should squirm so, and try to diff
fuse misleading views. The only OBJ
Ject of protective tariff is to enable
the home manufacturers to put up their
prices. That is what they contributed
to the campaign funds of the Repub
licanS for. and why they demanded all
Increase of duties. 1t may be noted in
cidentally that one of the leading firms
in this combination that has now raised
the price of carpets was S. SANFORD IL
Sons, of New York, one or more of them
Republican candidates for congress.

election asserting that they still had the
same prices as before the passage of the
bill, and the reported advance was I'M

TO STAND THE COLD.

The officers and men in the Brazilian
fleet that has lately come to the Attain
tic ports had wardrobes adapted only
TO the climate of Brazil, and the New
FORK temperature gave them the shiy-
ers, and some pneumonia. Probably
they will know better another time.
The atmospheric conditions at New
\ DIRK might cause more discomfort than
the much lower Thermometer in this
section. Too little caution is taken
generally to adapt the protection of the
system to the conditions of the weather.
There should be no suffering from
colds or affections due to atmospheric
variations. Still, the most prudent are
not exempt. The condition of the sys-
TEN has more to do with it than the
temperature. The Arabs of Chaldea be-
came so numb that they fell off their
horses at so deg above zero. The I'M
derrated and physically eXuberant edit
OF at Fargo, in North Dakota, relates
that when the thermometer is 40 or so
below zero he can talk to a lady friend
Oh the street quarter of an hour with
az hlutudi uoptClOlt lLdG GHO Suui-
mer is past. DR.. KANE found the
EsquimauX going about in apparent
comfort with the thermometer 20 below
zero. 1t is the suddenneSs of the
changes and lack of adaptation to the
demands of the system that mainly in
duce discomfort and produce dangerous
effects. There is hardly a portion of
the globe where more of the elasticity
and buoyance of physical existence can
be had than in this, but the outer condi-
tons cannot be disregarded as in some
sections that more constantly have the
direct rays of the sun. The past month
was one of the warmest Novembers on
record, but those not prepared for the
wintry extremes of the climate will
pretty surely find frigid annoyance in
the not distant future. If it is another
mild winter there will be severe pass
