The Herald has no objections to
the ballot boxes of La Plata county
being opened. n such procedure
should result in showing jugglery' in
favor of Republicans and wholesale
repeating through which Republicans
were elected, we would say turn them
down. We are for political honesty
and do not want any one serving the
people who were dishonesty elected.
Those who believe in honesty should
not object to investigation by an hon
orable court, hence we take 1t that
a very large per cent. Of the people
uphold the policy Of the supreme
court and are anxious to have the
election frauds probed In every Den

fraud is charged. Let the true facts
be brought out no matter whom it

Davidson Cannery Starts UU,

The ware house OF the Davidson Frnit
cannery resembled bee hive as a
1lacier man glanced in Monday morn
ing A hundred women, children and
men were busy stemming berries, cook
ing and soldering cans of preserved
fruit.
Fruit that would be loss to the
farmer were it not for this canning
establishment is going into cans and
glass Jars at the rate OF 5000 quarts a
day. The grower is getting from one
10 three cents pound for his unmark-
etaole berries, according to grade, and
steady employment is given 100 or more
Hood River people.
The girls and boys stemming berries
are paid one cent a pound for their
work, and average IS cents to $1a day
ID wages. The whole force worked all
day Sunday. Mr.. Davidson saws he'll
arrange to have an extra day for Sun
day school some time next winter to
make up for lost time.
This is the first year the factory has
Deen able to secure all the help needed.
Last year help was short and the fruit
soured before it could be put into the
cans, consequently it afterward spoiled
and all the seasons work was lost This
year Mr.. Davidson has installed labor
saving soldering machine which is capa-
bic OF turning out 10000 cans day.
An expert canneryman, G. II. Luther
from California, is in charge of this
branch of the factory.
Three and four hundred crates are GO
ing into the cans each day. Later in
the season Mr.. Davidson expects to in
crease the output TO 700 crates. The
berries are of fine quality and are fruit
that early in the season would command
a good price in any market, but with
the low prices now prevailing in the
over-crowded markets, Mr.. Davidson is
advising the growers to ship only the
first-class berries, and he is buying the
others for canning.
Berries for the cannery require less
expense for gathering, as the fruit does
not have to be packed, and the crates
are returned to the grower, which
makes the price, 25 to 20 cents, a very
good return for berries late in the season.
They could even be grown at this price
at profit.
The canning Of the berries is an inter-
esting process. Mr.. Drvidson says he
didn't know anything of the work when
he started in few years ago, but from
the easy manner in which he explains
the processes TO a visitor, he had no
trouble in mastering the art. The
Eastern markets where Hood River
berries have made such reputation
are now calling for the canned product.
Ten thousand quarts make carload,
and from the way the berries are going
into tin cans at the Hood River cannery
Fasteners should have good supply
OF this luscious fruit next winter.

The Wizard Burbank,


l have met recently IN little vine
cific, remarkable man, known to ex-
perts throughout the country and be-
yond. yet one Of the least known to the
general public. Luther Burbank has
evolved more extraordinary. and, in
deed, more marvellous plant life than
any other man.; Without the training
of the college or the university; he yet
leads in one of the most subtle and
elusive, one of the most complex and
battling departments of modern re-
search
On wind-swept mesa he finds a
wild flower of some. native beauty, but
| insignificant in. size, and, in the. main,
uncomely. He. takes this flower and
gives it a new lifes increases its size,
doubles it's vigor. hastens its. spring
/ time appearing. or, if it suits him. he
| transforms it utterly, producing a
flower unlike anything which has yet
blossomed He finds two trees, neither
one, to his mind, filing its true place. in
the world-he joins them and produces
a new tree possessing the best. of both.
/ One such tree ne has made which is
now the most rapidly growing tree
known in the temperate zones of the
world and one of the most prolific Of all
nut producing trees.
He takes a small, unpalatable fruit.
inferior in size and lacking in nutri-
ton, and makes it over into another
fruit, large, rich, toothsome,. beauti-
full A little daisy, small and imper-
feet, appealed to him one day and he
developed TIE insignificant flower into
one several inches in diameter~. He
takes a flower with a large, showy
bloom, a handsome creature among it's
more delicate companions, but hav-
ing an offensive odor, and gives to it
delicate, fragrant scent. He has
changed the hue of the yellow poppy
into silver or amethyst or ruby. He
has driven the pit from the plum and
filed it's place with substances rich,
juicy and sweet. He created a wal
nut with far thinner shell-so thin,
indeed, that the hungry birds could
perch upon the branches, drive their
bills through il and rob the nut of
its meat. This would not do and he
reversed the process and bred back
until he had a nut of Just the right
shell thickness. Incidentally he drove
the tannin from the walnut and has
left the meat almost as white as snow.
