Representatives Of the Canning Indus
try In Iowa at Waterloo.
Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, Nov. 10.-About forty pro-
prietors of Iowa canning factories
gathered at the Logan hotel this
afternoon for the annual meeting Of the
Iowa Gamers Association. Their ses-
sion did not convene until 2 o'clock,
and the election of officers and other
business will not be reached until late
hour today.
The attendance. despite uncertain
weather. is considered highly satisfac-
tory, and with few exceptions all Of
the canning factories in the state are
represented. Waterloo was chosen for
the annual meeting owing to it's loca-
ton, and the number of large canning
factories located in adjoining counties.
The representatives of Iowa canning
interests in Waterloo aver that the
business this year exceeded that OF any
previous period from a. standpoint of
quantity and quality.
AS n result of so satisfactory sea-
son the canning representatives are IN
a most genial mood and quite willing
to attend the annual session and dis
cuss the subject OF greatest interest to
them.
There are thirty-eight canning fac
tories in Iowa and all are represented
In the association in session here today.
More than one representative, however,
from each factory swells the number
of persons attending the annual meet
Ing and the lobby of the Logan house
has been a scene of activity all day.

This postoffice pays in the neigh

work is not very heavy, it is rather
strange that there is no one in Coal
Vile who wishes to take the job. For
several years it was in the store at
coalville. but lately 1t has been in a
private house. one room of which was
set aside for the mail boxes.
There are between twenty-five and
fifty families who get their mail at

Das Moines, Nov. 1o.-But few new

The prohibition vote was about $4,000
