WANTS CANNING FACTORY.
A Truck Farmer Sure that One in To.
peka Would Pay.


To the Editor of the State Journal:
1 have been a reader of your daily pa
per for the past five years and have no.
ticed with admiration the tenacity with
which the editorial columns of your pa
per follow up certain line of thought.
1t may be to correct an error in the ex
ecutive department of the great state of
Kansas, or a dictation to the president of
the United States "as to the financial way
out" but whether they be turned against
the adoption of AN unnecessary and los
ing proposition as the selling of the old
court house or in favor of much need =
ed Improvement as the building of the
Melan arch bridge, have noticed that in
large majority of cases the stand the
JOURNAL took was the stand that pleased
the people best and was successful, and
for this reason | wish that not only your
valuable paper, but every paper printed
in Topeka would urge and encourage
the building of factory in To-
peka that perhaps would benefit
more people (and its owner as welD than
any other that would likely come to the
city.
believe 1 voice the sentiment of
every garden truck raiser and farmer in
Shawnee county when | say that we
would appreciate good canning factory
more than any other. The market gard
ener has become too numerous and his
productions far exceed the limited de-
mand in Topeka, and he as well as the
farmer are asking and hoping for
place where they can contract their pro-
auctions at prices that will be remunera-
tive and where there will be no limit to
the demand for either quantity or va
riety. Farmers and gardeners. lets take
hold of this matter in earnest and agi-
tate it until success crowns our efforts.
A FARMER
The matter that" ga Farmer" speaks of
is one that should enlist capital at an
early day and no doubt it will. Topeka
already has a most successful pickle and
vinegar factory, owned by Otto Kuehne.
No doubt canning factory that would
can corn, tomatoes, peas and otherveg-
etables would prove equally lucrative.
The field is here, all it needs is bust
ness-like man with capital to build and
run the factory,

were initiated into Detroit Lodge, A. o.
U. W., at Chicago on December 20,
1895, the largest number of candidates
ever initiated in one night, and max
ing total membership in Detroit lodge
of 8 300, Notwithstanding there are nine
other A. o. U. w. lodges in Chicago,
one of which has membership of over
900. When the members of Detroit

them, and that is the Auditorium.
The total membership of the A. O. U.

"KENNErH CLA :"
er early to make a call

It's rather early to make call
On folks that do not know at all;
And though social rules to me,
From the way I'm left tits plain to see
That the folks inside are not aware
OF the gent just come from 'fWhO knows Where
With the modest title of Kenneth Clair.
The names all right as far as it goes,
But when the same was pinned on my clothes
Just one word more, it seems to me,
Would have solved needless mystery;
Would have started me out a deal more square;
Been proper and right, and only fair,
With my papa's name after Kenneth Clair.
I cannot ring, aud cannot knock
So fear that someone will get shock
If 1 lurk at the door in this silent way,
But neither know what 70 do nor say
l wonder do, If I really dare
To try my lungs in this morning air
And see if these folks know Kenneth Clair
Just where came from cannot say,
Unless 1t was out of the Yesterday.
The stars may know, and can't but th ink
That perhaps they do, from the way tn ey wink.
1 guess came from the Anywhere,
Maybe from that big red star up there;
But the matters too deep for Kenneth Clair.
1 wish knew these folks inside,
For this fix I'm in quite wounds my pride
Rolled up in shapeless, helpless bunch,
Like the worthless remnant of someone's lunch
When they look on the doorstep and find me there.
And say: "Who the dickens Is Kenneth Clair?''
1 know for mite of such tiny size
am going to cause great surprise,
And the neighbors will call to take peep
at the little waif, who Will be asleep;
And they'll wonder and guess, and maybe declare
That the thing is strange, and hardly fair
To the party in interest-Kenneth Clair.
All! Kenneth Clair, the world is wide,
And the good and bad go side by side
And stronger than you may faint and fall,
But the mercy of God is for us all.
For He ever listens to plaiut and prayer,
And the plea of the helpless from everywhere,
Zen the wall of a mite such as kenneth Clair.
Night passes, and morning viii set things right,
For a woman's heart is infinite;
And for you will be the old caress
That comes from that n1easureless tenderness
For the heart of a mother can ever spare
For the motherless generous share;
And Certainly some for Kenneth Clair.

Wagon Road to Fossil.

Mr.. Nick Sinnot:, who has just re-
turned from Fossil, f fds popular agi-
tation at that place fof wagon road to
The Dalles. A larg region of country
would be tapped bT this road, which at
present transacts their overland trans
portat1on business with Arlington. Over
a year ago the Fossil people became in
terested in the proposition, and their
interest is now renewed by the near ap-
proach of the opening of the locks.
Surveys were made for the whole route,
and considerable work done at the Fos-
sill end, and it is probable that the whole
road will soon be completed. The wagon
road will be only twenty miles further
than the present road to Arlington.
The distance by rail from The Dalles to
Arlington is ffty-three miles. and the
tariff charged by the railroad company
from Portland to Arlington is yet high
because of the interrupted line of cheap
communication at The Dallea. The
Fossil people, therefore, by driving only
twenty miles further, can avail them
selves of the cheap freight rates that
will ensue with the opening of the riyeI'

sustained her excellent reputation

Miss Hattie Cram then sang sweet
lullaby song entitled, 'sSleep, Little

The address of the evening was by DIR.

his listeners with arevieWof the history,

He was listened to with marked atten-

solo, Anchored, p followed by Mrs. E.
o. McCoy's vocal solo "Answer," with
piano accompaniment by Mrs. J. c..
Crandall and Mrs. A. N. Varney. Both
selections were heartily applauded.
This ended the program and the balance
of the evening was devoted to dancing.

The puIplt Of St. Paul.s.

AT recent meeting of the vestry of
St; Paul's church it was unanimously
decided to employ Rev. Goss as rector of
the church for the ensuing year, and his
first regular sermon will be preached in
that pulpit on Sunday next. Mr.. Goss
has gained many warm friends in the
few weeks he has been in The Dalles.
He has filed the pulpit of st. Paul's
church gratuitously several times in that
length of time, sufficient to be recog-
nized as an able and earnest advocate of
the gospel of Jesus Christ. He has
been living recently at Milton, near
Walla Walla, but will shortly remove to
The Dalles with his wife and take up a
permanent residence in The Dalles.

The poem Kenneth Clair,'' printed

saved from the oblivion that would ordI-
narily attach to it's publication in a
country newspaper. Full of the milk of
human kindness, of ennobling sentiment
and tender susceptibility, expressed in
such chaste language. it deserves rank
among the poems of the day. Its pres
ervation does not depend on the local
incident which gave it birth, no more
than that which inspired the production
of ''The Bridge of Sighs." Both .are
leaves taken from the volume of human
history, and form only the groundwork
for the portrayal of certain passions
shared alike by all humanity.

"A. o. U. W., had most enjoyable
meeting last night. A large number of
members were present. Under good of
the order the members enjoyed listening
to the reading of the l5dge paper by the
editor, Mr.. ]. F. Moore, one of the best
issues ever read. Among the many
good things was an original poem, writ
ten by Hon. ]. II. Cradelbaugh on
Kenneth Clair" which appears else
where. The verses on the little un-
known waif, cared for by Mr.. and Mrs.
Farley, are quite touching, and possess
that literary merit which enables one to
better appreciate the sentiments con-
tanned. A select reading by Mrs.
o. S. Waud and a song by the
lodge choir concluded the program. The
best of good humor prevailed during the
entire session, and the members were
reluctant to wend their way homeward
at Its close.
