At Roaring Speed,

The guide boat sent ahead to show
the course was too slow, although ev-

Then-t the great observation feet

Before half tie feet had reached the

New York, Aug. 27.-In glorious
WHOLESALE breeze, over a triangular
course. ten miles TO a leg, the fleet
footed cup defender Reliance again
showed her heels to Sir Thomas Lip
tons challenger; taking the second
race of the cup series Of 1908 by the
narrow margin of one minute and
nineteen seconds.
1t was as pretty AMI hard fought a
contest as has ever jc9a sailed Off
Sandy Hook. anG haa tie wind not
fallen during the Iasl minutes the
record for the course, three hours,
twelve minutes ard fifteen seconds,
made by COLUMBIA two years ago IN
her memorable race against shams
rock IL, would have been broken. AS
it was, Reliance sailed the thirty
miles within TWO minutes and thirty
nine seconds OF the record, which
Speaks Wonders
for her speed in the wind that was
blowing. ReIiance's victory, narrow
as itIwas, would have been much
smaller had not Capt. Wrfnge, the
skipper of the British sh4p, bungled
the start, sending his craft over the
line nineteen seconds after the last
gun. and handicapping her to that ex-
tent At every point OF sallli-g the
defenders superiority IS demon
strated She gained one minute and
fifty-one seconds in wlrdWard work,
forty seconds on the run to the second
mark, and forty-five seconds on the
close reach for home.
Based on the magnificent showing
she has made in the two races already
sailed. it is the belief of many experts
that the cup is safe and that it will
take something better than Flies
latest creation to even bulge 1t.
An assemblage Of excursion vessels
almost as large as that OF last Sat
urday poured down through the Mar
rows and out into the broad Atlantic
yesterday to witness
The Vanishing Glory
Of the challenger The spectators
watched the jockeying for the start
with eager interest. The American
skipper, by his extremely clever
work, again outgeneraled' his rival and
secured the weather gauge. Not only
was the challenger's captain defeated
in his effort to secure the windward
berth. but he actually failed to cross
in time to save a handicap, an almost
objectionable sin in cup contest.
Barr never relinquished his advantage
after the start, holding the challenger
under his lee all the way to the first
mark.
Slowly but surely the thousands
aboard the observation feet saw that
Reliance was gaining. opening a
wider and wider stretch Of water be

a wise fellow discovered that it was I'm
healthful for two people to occupy the same
bed Later another found out that it was
unsafe to ride on a car with other people or
to go to church where other people attend.
Then an association of physicians decided
that to kiss pretty girl was to tempt death
in all manner of hideous diseases. The very
latest PRONUNCIATION is the discovery of a
French scientist that the practice of hand
shaking is prolific source of spreading dis
ease If things keep up it will soon be I'M
healthful to be buried in the same graveyard
with other people. The only place where
person can feel absolutely safe from disease
is, at mid-week prayer meetings, for nobody
attends them.

Canning Fruits In Small Way
c. E. Phillips.

and myself being engaged IN trucking and
fruit growing in small way and not being
in line with the carload shippers, decided
that Our only hope to insure success was IN
putting up a small cannery. We got $3.50
subscribed and believed that with a little
more we would have enough to start but at
that stage of the game some promoters
struck us. They assured us that it was use
less to start with less than $4,000 to $1,000,
so our subscribers dropped out. One neigh
Dor with five acres in berries, and | with
five acres of tomatoes decided to go through
with it anyway. We put in the full amount
of $50 in factory and about 5000 in cans.
The local markets were good that year, so
we canned very few tomatoes, only about
1000 cans of berries and 1000 cans Of
peaches.
The peaches sold readily at $I.5o doz-
en-, while the tomatoes and berries went at
$I.2O. Two men, one woman and three
little children operated the factory. With
our inexperience we put up 500 to 600 cans
a day Having no experience or instruc-
tons, we of course made some mistakes
and lost more fruit than we should have
done, but on the whole put up good stuff,
which our customers said compared favor
ably with California goods. Last year |
under took the management of thirty
acre tomato farm. | agitated the question
of small cannery, but the promoters struck
us again and this time succeeded IN raising
a subscription of $4,000 and built factory
The community therefore put all they
could raise in the building and machinery,
and nothing at all for operating expenses,
and there was not enough stuff raised to
run it one day in the week. Hence 1t was
not run at all and stands there today as
monument to the--well, the town can say
1--WE have cannery." At the end OF the
season when we had shipped several cars
of stuff and had gotten nearly enough out
of them to pay for freight and baskets |
due up my little S5o-outft and a few cans
| had left over and put up lome of the scat
tering fruits and tomatoes. We gathered
and put up in three weeks about $3.50 worth
of canned goods, some days making as high
as $50 a day | sold all my stuff at top
prices as soon as the samples were shown
the dealers.
Now [ am not running down big can
neries They are all right in their places,
some firms having 100000 or more profit
ably invested in them, but little canneries
are the thing for little people. A truck
grower with few acres of fruit may invest
$50 to $Ioo in little factory, make big re-
turns on the investment and be independent
of gutted markets. Next year few OF us
are going into it little deeper. We will
have something over 100 acres in tomatoes
with a number of small orchards to draw
upon. We will put up $500 to $500 in
house and machinery, with $1,000 cash laid
aside for starter on running expenses. We
will be able to put up 5000 cans day, but If
our crop is short and we do not need to run
full capacity, we will not have lot of ex-
pensive machinery lying idle.

good deal has been said from time to
time by The Ranch regarding the horticul-
tural law. Some people think it is fine
thing, the guardian and protector of the
fruit interests of our state However sin
cere the man who fathered the law may
have been in this respect, the fact is it is
signal failure in every particular save one
that of providing fat berths for the faith
full. In the county of King there is fruit
Inspector and deputy, each drawing Four
Dollars per day and Expenses, and the
services of stenographer on the side.
Their duties are to keep the county free
of injurious pests, protecting the orchards
from their ravages, and insure clean, per-
feet fruit for the consumer. On both
counts they have failed. On every fruit
stand in the city of Seattle infected fruit
is being sold. The customer finds wormy
apples the rule and not the exception. The
Ranch would be very thankful to anyone
who will come forward and point out what
good the inspectors are doing in King
county.

The Seattle Argus: The proprietors of
the Fashion Cafe have sued the Royal dairy
and Dairy Commissioner Mcdonald for 81
500, claiming that the dairy sold them milk
containing formaldehyde, and that the com
missioner knew that the dairy sold such
milk.
AS matter of fact the proprietors of the
Royal dairy have been arrested before for
doctorng their milk, and have been con-
vcted on the charge, and it now seems that
in spite of this they continue at the same
old game. The poisoned milk is injurious to
health, and it is the duty of the dairy COM
missioner to either prevent diaries from us
ing it, or to keep on with his prosecutions
until he puts the offenders out of business.
If consumers of milk would take samples
from that furnished them by dairies submit
it to chemists, and in case that it was found
to be doctored, turn it over to the authorities
this abuse would soon be done away with.
