From AnmsyiIIe.


| To the Editor OF the Capital journal:
Being in Salem q few days ago
passed by where the new cannery
Is building, aud seeing the work go
ing Oh there, 1 am moved to say o
few words on the subject; as We
raise berries aud fruits, and therefore
have kindly interest in the can
ming aud drying Industries. Upon
the supply Of the raw "material," B."
and the prices at which 1t can be fur
nished, depends the SUCCESS Of the
canueries. The Gamer Is the man
ulaclurer, and the farmer is the
producer of "raw material" This
leads to the subject of corn, fer
which, I see from four to five dol
lars "a ton in the husk will he offered
Hnis Is the price paid in the east
ern corn regions, SO | am Informed.
Can Oregon farmers raise corn and
deliver IL In Salem for that price?
1 doubt IL. Corn is certainly worth
five dollaes ton of ears ia the husk
for feed at home; and l doubt If the
husks and cObs of a ton Of sweet
corn, Is not worth five dollars TO
feed to cows aud horses in and
around Salem. 1t Is excellent feed
for milch cows, and horses Oh dry
feed. 1 have tried it. But can the
cannerIes here pay more than IL paid
east? They must compete or else
form IA canning "trust." An intes-
tate tariff will hardly be obtainable.
The canneries aud dryers must
get their supplies at prices that will
leave thema profit, and ut the same
time must pay such prices as will
induce parties to plant for that
market. And the figure to the pro.
ducer must De such as will justify
him in hiring labor, which present
offers Will hardly do.
Canning being in its infancy in
Oregon, the subject Is an interest
ing one, especially to us farming
"mud-sills." That the canneres
already help us some, was demon
strated last season on berries. Two
seasons ago when the usual glut in
the berry market came, there was
no outlet for our surplus blackberries
and we made barrel of wine.
There was no pay In 1t, but we got
expenses out "f IT,. .~als had ~ w.
.usuai number Of friends while the
wine lasted; but last season we sent
our surplus TO the WoOdburn can
merry, and realized a small profit.
Not enough however. to induce us
to plow up our little hop yard aud
set II to blaokberries. Yet II we
had cannery near enough 10 haul
to, and save the freight charges, in
our excellent blackberry land we
would risk II to plant out more. So
also of other berries, and pieplaut.
Hope the canneries will multiply.
There Is material enough to run II
small one, that goes to waste every
year, within radius of four miles

LONDON, March 10.-Tbe rect nj
outrages committed by the Russian
officials In Siberia upon helpless
male and female prisoners have led
to inquiry on the part Of various
correspondents aud Others into some
Of the methods employed by the
Russian government to suppress
factsand create favorable impressions
with the result of aseeriaining that
vast number Of persons Of the
higher classes are engaged in the
work Of representing the Russian
empire as a verilabIe paradise and
the Gar as an angel Of mercy. The
articles written by George KennaR
and published in the Century depict
ing the horrors Of the Russian prisons
system, obtained wide circulation
in Russia until the censors succeed
cd in preventing copies Of the mag
azine containing the articles from
passing through the post offices, but
the seed bad been sOwn and the
government found it necessary to
take steps to destroy the crop and
at the same time render the effect of
the articles in America as nearly as
possible nugatOry. With this object
In view the government lately sent
to the United States 80 spies, or
agents, 30 womea and Is men,
charged with the duty Of endeavor-
ing to modify the impression made
by the articles on the American peO-
pie, and also to secure the passage
Of an eXtradition treaty looking to
the return to Russia of fugitive po-
litlcal offenders. These emissaries
are under assumed names, and are
known only to the secret police at
st. Petersburg. They are well sup
piled with money and are instructed
to hold 10 open communica-
ti0n with one another. The
ostensible object of their visit to
America Is to lecture OH Russian
subjects, which discourses will be
supplemented by the publication of
articles in the various newspapers
laudatory OF the cZar and his gov
ernment. Ten of the 80 are directed
to go 20 Washington To ingratiate
themselves with the members of
both houses of congress and to ulti-
mately gain an entrance into the
best American society. Already
three of these emlnisaries have ar
rived in America, two ladies of high
birth and one gentleman of equally
high social position, an officer in
the Russian army. One of the la
dies is delivering lectures and Civ
ing readings on Russia in the
Western states and other is similarly
engaged in the Southern states,
while the gentleman is sojourning
In Washington cultivating desirable
acquaintenances, writing occasional
newspaper articles pertinent to his
mission and taking general sur
vey of the field pending the ar
rival of his colleagues.
