SALEM'S CANNERY.
Amidst the discussion of the canning bus

| Amidst the discussion of the canning bus
mess the following from the Capital Journal
concerning Salem's cannery, is interestIng:
| The Salem Canning Co. was new ven-
ture in Salem last summer. They expend-
ed large amount of money IN buildings
and machinery, but there were those who
doubted their ability to make 1T success.
They were themselves little chary OF their
ability to please the Eastern market and
compete in prices. They canned some arti'
cles as an experiment and sent on Their
samples before venturing very deep IN the
work. The consequence was that orders
came by telegraph and from that to the end
of the season a sufficient amount of the re-
auired articles could not be procured to sup
ply the demand. Every can was sold before
it was put up at ready cash sale.
The cannery is no longer an experiment.
1t is a sure thing and the year 1891 will see
very extensive business carried on there
It is now expected that the sproduet OF over
q thousand acres of vegetables and fruit Will
be used up the coming season. the contracts
for which are now being made as fast as
possible, so as to stimulate the work of pro-
duction and leave no doubt in the minds OF
the cannery men as to where their stuff Is
to come from.
The cannery business solves the problem
for the poor man. If he is able to secure a
patch of few acres, upon which he wishes
to plant an orchard, he can set the inter-
venng ground to vegetables. for which ne
can find cash purchaser at his; door and
thus sustain himself and family in good style
while his orchard is growing into wealth.
making condition. And he can have his
vegetables contracted in advance, SO that
there is NO uncertainty about it.
The cannery Business will also put stop
to the careless waste of apples, pears and
the like, which have heretofore been allowed
to rot on the ground by the bushel in places.
Their delivery here now means so much
cash ard the boys and girls might as we'll be
utilized in picking them as to be idle. There
has been too much happy go-e easy farming
and fruit 1aising in this valley in the past
but those canneries and evaporators will
throw out stimulant that will do away
with all that and set the farmers to rustling
There is lots of room here for more such
industries and they would prosper beyond
the most sanguine figure.

To MEET.-The third meeting OF
the convention of Oregon sheriffs will
be held in Salem on the Goth of this
month. 1t is a little suggestive, says
the Statesman, that all the sheriffs
should be gathered here as soon as the
Oregon solons come together, but it is
coincidence not a necessity. The
state board of commerce, composed OF
delegates from every board of trade in
Oregon, is to meet in this city on the
18th. There will be 150 delegates in
attendance. Matters pertaining to
the appropriation by the legislature
for Oregon's display at the Columbian
exposition at Chicago, in '933, is one OF
the subjects for action upon by this
body. The meeting will be held in
opera house, and the executive com
mittee will come together at the board
of trade rooms.

SAD DEATH-On Jan. 4, 1891, near
Corvallis, occurred the death. of Rob
ert G.. Buchanan, aged "a years, IL
months and 6 days. Robert Buch-
anan's death resulted from injuries re-
ceived recently by being thrown from
a horse, and his sudden departure from
life caused universal sorrow in this
community. Kind word can give little
comfort to his parents and friends, but
it may be some satisfaction to them TO
be assured that, while we may not, sc
fully as they, understand the character
of this yonng man, his noble qualities
are greatly appreciated by the people
among whom he has grown up: Rob
ert was graduate of the Agricultural
college, and young man whose intelll
gence, integrity, and industry would
have rapidly carried him forward to-
high and honorable position among his
fellow men.

CHECKERED CAREER.
A Man Wh1 has Made several For
tunes Now an Object of Charity.

A man named George Washington.
who is registered at the Dyer house, has
probably seen as many ups aud downs in
the course of his long career as any man
IN the West. He is en- route from New
Mexico to his early home in Clinton. la.
Washington has been a prospector and
miner in Arizona and New Mexico for a
number of years. In 1876 he was one of
the lucky men who first struck Tomb
stone, Arizona, probably the richest silver
camp ever discovered. He sold out his
claim for something like $50. 900 and
started East to take in the Centennial Ex-
position at Philadelphia. He had more
money than any one for a while, but after
about three months ''buckiug the tiger
be found his $40, 900 gone. He had
nothing to do except to come West, in
hopes OF getting another stake.
He had no trouble until he reached the
Mississippi river in beating his way, but
further West it was hard to find q house
at which to get something to eat. Wash
inRtou was stranded in eastern Colorado
and asked a sheep ranchman for a Job.
The sheep mar gave him a job herding
sheep. He sent MIN out on the prairie
telling him to gather the sheep together
at 8 o'clock aud bring them into the
corrals.
Washington got on nicely until it was
time to gather the sheep. He
got a small bunch together and then
started after the remainder. When he
came back with a few more the first bunch
had strolled ont of sight. He worked
patiently if not successfully for a few
hours trying to round uD the sheep. and
just as he was discouraged a freight train
came along and he could not resist the
temptation to nail it.
Washington finally reached Arizona
and since then has made several fortunes,
but they have all gone like their ~predeces-
sors. He is now Sc years old, penniless
and intends to go back to his old home in
Iowa to spend the remainder of his days.
DR.. Wyman furnished him with q ticket
TO Lincoln, Neb., aud he hopes to reach
home from there without any trouble.

HIS innate objections to the payment of the

this. and it may be necessary to secure
from the district court a writ OF custer

Jack Tomlin, who claims to be from

applied at the city marshal's office for a
policeman to go and arrest some men who
were trying to kill him. Marshal 5chnit-
ger showed him into the back room and
kept him there for several days. He

BIG INCREASE OF FORCE.
While transportation Is Light Repair.
Ing Is to BE Pushed at the Shops.

There is a large number of dead en-
Rines and damaged rolling stock in the
Union Pacific yards which are of no use
in their present condition. 1t is the in
tention of the company while business Is
so slack to do their repairing. The ma
chlnery is being rapidly put IN place in
the new shops and as soon as possible,
probably in a couple of weeks. at least
200 new men will be added to the payroll
and repairs pushed as rapidly as circum-
stances will permit. The rolling stock is
in bad condition and it is the intention of
the company to get it in repair for the
increased business of the coming spring
and summer. 1t is said that not more
than half of the engines are fit for duty.
This will furnish much work for the
Cheyenne shops.
