onstrative at times in his endeavors to
convince people of the success of his sys-
tenn that the services of a straight jacket
are needed. He also says he believes the |
bible is made out of cotton, but as long |
as the hens hold out the gold and silver
question will remain solved.
We copy the following from the Albany |
Democrat, but we do not belieYe the fact |
would exist if any such project were at

"Fruit canneIies In the northwest are said |
to be universally failures Nearly $50
600 are said TO have been sunk in the |
Salem cannery, and good many thous-
and dollars IN the Eugene cannery.
Cities are often accused of lacking enter
prise for not establishing such things;
but the truth Is, it is necessary these |
modern days 10 proceed with care and
judgment. A vacant factory is always an
eyesore."
