T. Roualt has started his canning
factory, although, as yet, he will not
be able to run on full time. He has
about 100 acres of tomatoes, and as
they are beginning to ripen. he is
merely getting in readiness, in time
for the rush. The lack of water has
already caused him considerable de-
lay. Although he has done omre than
his share of fatigue work on the ditch
he cannot get his due share of water.
We are informed that others, who
have not done their part on the ditch
are ready to appropriate the water as
soon as 1t is turned on. and Mr..
Roualt's tomato fields are left to suffer.
Some 30 or 40 people, principally wo-
men and girls. are employed in the
factory aud ere long the force will be
more than doubled. This is one of the
most substantial and laudable enter
prises in our midst, and its proprietor
is entitled to great credit as public
benefactor.-Indepe Democrat.
