IMMENSE CANNING PLANT FOR
SOUND COUNTRY.
Will Save Thousands Of Dollars Worth oil
Fruit That Has Heretofore Been Thrown
Into the Sound or Left to Rot in the
Orchards-Loncern Expects to Pack Five
Hundred Tons This Season.

Seattle, June cit has long been
felt in Seattle that one of the industrial
institutions of which the commercial
welfare of the city is most in need is a
fruit cannery. Every year thousands
of boxes of fruit are dumped into the
bay or left to rot in the fields, when
the markets become glutted. Fruit is
perishable, and unless it is used or
cared for while fresh, it becomes a total
loss. Through the lack of cannery
thousands of dollars go to waste an
nually.
For the purpose of turning to good
account the many tons of surplus fruit
that are produced every year in the
Sound country, and in the fruit belt OF
Eastern Washington, there has been
organized the Golden Northwest Fruit
Il Vegetable Canning Company, which
has secured, through the Chamber Of
Commerce, one of the factory sites near
the southern limits of the city south Of
the tide flats, conveniently located as
regards rail communication.
1t is the expectation of the promot-
ers to have everything in readiness to
handle this seasons fruits, except ber-
ries, From present calculations it is
estimated that the company will this
year receive and pack 500 tons of
peaches tomatoes, pears, apples and
vegetables.

company mas already made arrange

tricts in the world. Part of the ma
chinery is alreaety in Seattle.

CHICAGO, Ills, April 9-Millners

on at a meeting of the Illinois Audo-

boy who pillages birds nests will also
need to have care during the coming

sents $4,000 persons. has appointed a
committee to watch him.

and treasurer of the society, reported
that during the last year nearly 5000
members had been added to the socie-
ty. In regard q the movement pro
posed by the society to enforce the
state and federal laws relating to
birds, she said
During the coming months we will
watch the movements of the Chicago
milliners with alertness. First, we
will send them copies of the law re-
lating to the sale of stuffed song birds.
If no heed is paid to our warning war

REFORM IN NEW YORK.
Public and Press Praise the Policeman
Who Enforce the Saloon Laws.

NEW YORK, April 9.-Gotham is
in the throes of a great moral reyolu-
ton. The humble policeman on the
beat is the man who is working out a
reform that has defied mayors, dis
trict attorneys, churches and the sen
timent of decent people.
Pulls" will not protect law-break-
ing saloonkeepers. The patrolmen
will defy the police captains and other
high officials who have levied black
mail on the saloons, for they propose
to enforce the Sunday excise laws
without fear or favor. Under Tam
many they did not dare to do this.
They had the tip from their superiors
to wink at violations of the law, and
it was as much as their jobs were
worth to arrest barkeepers, even in
the act of breaking the statute.
But the patrolmen have broken
away from their immediate superiors
in revolt Convinced that Mayor Low
is in earnest in his efforts to reform
New York and satisfied that they
would be protected by the reform ad-
ministration, the second platoon pa
trolmen at the West Thirty-seventh
street station started the revolution
last Sunday night by arresting all of
Tenders.
Since then they have been deluged
with praise from press and public, and
Mayor Low and his assistants have
promised to protect every policeman
who does his duty. The result Is that
policemen in other parts of the city
have been encouraged to rise In re-
volt against their blackmailing super
iors.

CHARLESTON
WELCOMES
PRESIDENT

CHARLESTON, S. c., April 9.-The
city is crowded with visitors who are
celebrating Presidents day at the ex
position. Governor McSweeney and
Aycock, both of South Carolina, are
here with staffs. The military and ma
val parade started for the exposition
grounds at 10 a. IN. this morning, and
cheers repeatedly greeted the presi-
dent. who was seated in carriage
and he responded with smiles and
by raising his hat. After the grounds
were reached the parade was reviewed
and then the president and distinguish
ed party proceeded to the Auditorium.
After addresses by President Wagner,
both governors, and Mayor Smith,
President Roosevelt took the rostrum
The cheering was so loud ana long
continued that some time elapsed be-
fore he could speak.
Dwelling on the strength of union be
Ptweer the north and south. after the
terrific struggle of the civil war, the
president said:
with thoughtful courtesy you orig
inally asked me to come to the expo
sition on the birthday of Abraham
Lincoln. When four years ago the ma
tion was compelled to face a foreign
foe the strength of the reunion be-
came instantly strikingly evident. 1t
was my good fortune to serve under
an ex-confederate general, the gal
liant Joe Wheeler. In my regiment as
the one singled out for promotion on
account of conspicuous gallantry in
G..I. Il l. T.
general and citizen of this Palmetto
state. Micah Jenkins"
Roosevelt then touched upon the
appointment of General Luke Wright,
an ex-confederate, as vice governor of
the Philippines and mentioned a let
ter from him saying there seemed to
be more war about the Philippines in
the United States than in the archi-
pelago. Touching the object of the
exposition, he said it was wise to get
in touch with the West Indies.
Events of the last four years he con
tinued show us the West Indies and
the isthmus must in the future occu-
oepy T larger place in she national poll
cy. We have have right to take hon
est pride in what we have done for
Cuba. On the twentieth of next
month Cuba becomes a free republic.
The island is in better condition than
in all the centuries of Spanish rule.
This exposition was rendered posi-
Bile because of the period of industrial
prosperity through which the country
is passing.
We need build a higher life upon
its great problems before us, but
they are not insoluble if approached in
a spirit of fearlessness and an inten-
tion to do justice to all men. This is
an era great in combinations, in many
ways valuable for good, but they must
work under law. The laws must be
wise and just or they will do evil to
the most powerful labor union, or the
richest corporation Above all the ad-
ministration must be fair and hon
est"
At the conclusion of the presidents
address former governor Hugh Thomp-
son handed him for presentation to
Major Micah jenkins the five hundred
dollar sword, the gift of the people of
South Carolina as tribute to the Ma
jor's gallantry in Cuba, as well as a
rebuke to Lieutenant Governor Till
man for the latters withdrawal of in
vitation to the president to be present
