SMYRNA CANNING HOUSES
RUSHED WITH TOMATOES
ACREAGE LARGER IN THIS VICINITY THAN
HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR MANY YEARS.
HOffecker's Cannery Which Employs All Home
Labor Turning Out Between 81 500 and
10000 Caus a Day-Smyrna Landing

With the passing out of the peach
which has brought so much money to
the growers of this vicinity, much in-
terest is now centering in the tomato
crop, which is larger in this vicinity
than for several years. Hoffecker' $
Cannery of Smyrna, the Torsch Pack
ing House of Smyrna Landing, and
the Baker Canning Factory at Clayton
are running on full time and tomatoes
are being put up in large quantities.
Indeed, the canning industry has
grown to large proportions and with
the improved facilities for handling
the crop, the demand on our farmers
is one that gives them plenty to do
while the season lasts. The John H.
Hoffecker Canning Company, the only
industry that employs all home labor,
is a veritable beehive of activity dur
ing these days and with the latest i'm.
proved machinery they have intro
duced, they are turning out as high
as 81, 800 cans a day and have the ca
paclty for putting up 10000 or more
cans daily. They are getting their
tomatoes mostly from the farmers of
this vicinity, having contracted for
400 acres, but in addition to this thew
are obliged to import some. During
the spring season several new features
were added to the factory. one of
which was the construction of an an
paratus for the making of tomato
paste, preparation entertaining into
Manufacture of Italian Cheese. a deli
cate dish. This paste is made from the
refuse of tomatoes which is fed from
the peeling tables through sluices and
carried to pulp mill constructed at the
rear of the factory, where it undergoes
a process and thence to the vats bv
means of long troughs. The waterv
substance is drained off through the
sewer. Hoffecker's factory has also a
machine for sealing cans without
solder used for sealing the cans of to.
matoes put up whole for frying.
The TOrsch Packing Company and
the Baker Canning House employ only
Bohemian labor and near each factory
is quite colony of these foreigners.
who come here to make enough to keep
them through the winter months.
The landing and Clayton factories
are running on full time. but
they are not putting up the quain-
tity of fruit that the Hoffecker's
are. The Torsch Packing Company
have contracted for about 200 acres
one hundred acres in this vicinity and
a hundred acres at Milford. In addi-
ton to this they buy from growers
who have not contracted but prefer to
take the risk at the market price. The
Landing factory is putting up from
10, 900 to 10000 cans daily. The can
ming season will continue to be at its
helght for two or three weeks. AS an
industry it puts much money into cir
culatlon, especially with our home
labor. and it gives the farmers a good |
side line to the fruit crops which have
been so good this season. From Ken
ton comes the report that E. o. Bayles
Oannery is putting up 22OO cans daily. /
and from Brenford that Wright's Can.
1ery is putting up between 1000 and
800 cans daily.

added, to be followed with the staff of
plant pathologist for Investigation
of the diseases of cane. The starting
of stations, where peculiar local
conditions may be studied better than
at the central station in Honolulu, is
another improvement. Damage by the
leaf hopper and other pests was the
reason for these new developments in
connection with the experiment station.
Although the running expenses are
greatly increased the amount lost in
the past year by the ravages of in
sect pests would have paid the cost
of establishing fifty stations on the
new basis and operating the same for
number of years to come.''
The trustees had held AZ meetings
during the year. S. NJ. Damon was
elected to fill the vacancy on the board
caused by the resignation of b. F. Dill
lingham. There had been two meet
| ings of delegates and trustees, which
have become a regular feature of the
Association.
There is now on each of the islands
an association of plantation managers,
which Mr.. Tenney urged should be
made as strong as possible.
The labor conditions, as indicated by
monthly reports, were fairly satisfac-
tory and would be fully dealt with in
the report of the labor committee.
1t was hoped that this meeting, eX-
tending over four days, would more
nearly than before carry out the OBJ
jects of the Association. Reports of
committees had been printed so that
members could prepare for their dis
ssion
Mr., Tenney advocated thorough CO.
operation between the various depart-
ments of plantations also an inter-
change of ideas and experiences be-
tween managers. I'VE must produce
sugar" he Went on to say, lat the
/ minimum of cost in order to meet the
competition Of other countries, and the
recommendations or suggestions of

DDS whereby the cost Of production may
be decreased should receive your most
careful attention. The proper utllza-
tion of waste products and the use OF
scientific knowledge in field ana mill,
open 10 you all the widest scope for
the application of practical Ideas"

pressed his appreciation Of the sup
port given him during his term ~ Of

Horrible Death al kandah.

~ Conductor Chas. F. Brown, who
has been in service on the o. r. & N.
for the past fifteen years, was killed
at Kamela, a station IS miles west of
LaGrande at S:15 o'clock Monday
morning, his body being mangled in
a horrible manner.
The facts as learned from the train
men are that when No. reached
Kamela the helper engine No. 200
was cut off and the switch thrown for
her to back up. The dining car was
put on and Conductor Brown started
for his train. His back was toward
the helper and before he was aware OF
his danger he was struck and his body
cut to pieces. His head, arms and
legs were cut off and strewn along
the track.
After the balance of the remains
we're picked up, portion of thigh
was found lying alongside the track.
Conductor Brown was one of the
best men in the service of the o. H.
& N, and was regarded by the offici'
ais as being conscientious, trustwor
thy and in every way capable train
man.

Accidentally Killed At Baker Civ

One of the most unfortunate ond
distressing accidents that ever ban
pened in Baker City occurred Monday
evening, resulting in the death Of
Waldo Bowers, one of Baker Citv,s
most exemplary young men.
The particulars as learned ware
that Bowers and W.B. Swackhammer
an employee of the First National
bank, were on bicycles riding toward
each other on Center street. and when
near the Nugget saloon, they came to-
gether with terrible force, throwing
both to the ground. Bowers was car
rled to nearby restaurant in an I'M
conscious condition. He never re-
gained consciousness and died a few
hours after the accident occurred.
Mr.. Swackhammer, while badly
bruised, was at last accounts resting
as easily as could be expected under
the circumstances.
The accident shows the absolute
necessity for the enforcement of ths
ordinance relative to having Lighted
lamps on every wheel after dark
Had there been lamp on Bower
wheel the accident might have beer
avoided.

DAD BLOOD CAUSES
SHOOTING m THUNDER
Dave Diamond hs Packer is Shot
BY His paItna--fTiend5
Put Up d Job,

News reached Weiser from Thunder
Mountain Tuesday that Captain Dave
Diamond had been shot and danger
ously wounded by his partner, Jim
Martin. Both are old freighters, but
they quit the business some time ago
and opened road house on Reardon
creek about 81 miles this side of
Roosevelt on the Thunder Mountain
wagon road. From what can be
learned of the affair there has been
bad blood between the two men fer
some time and that job had been
put up to take the life of Martin.
Friends of Diamond secured Martin 8
revolver and filed it with blank cart
ridges SO that in the event he shot at
Diamond no harm would result.
Martin got wind of the job and re-
placed the blank cartridges with the
real article. When the quarrel was
started Martin pulled his gun and
fired. The shot struck Diamond in
the shoulder and passed down to his
back.
The injured man, however, soon
recovered from the shock and mount
ed his horse and rode to Roosevelt
where the wound was dressed. 1t il
said that he will recover.
