Hidden away among the warehouses and
sheds on Railroad avenue south of Moran S
shipyards is the only cannery in Seattle.
In speaking of the work of the cannery,
Superintendent E. b. Dutton said:
This cannery was installed here more
as an experiment than as a purely business
proposition but everyone connected with
1t had fun faith In its ultimate success.
The short time that it has been running
has demonstrated that 1t is one of the
safest and best investments that could have
been made; in fact, it has exceeded the
hopes of the most sanguine. Since the
opening of the season we have been can
ming on an average of 10000 fish daily, not
counting a large number of halibut that
were packed fresh.
THE run this year, although not as large
as that Of 1901, or the run OF four years
before that date, Is very good. Last week
we had more salmon than we could handle.
We are confident that our seasons pack
will reach G0OOO cases. We employ about
100 people, but during the heavy run we
have almost double that number Most of
our cannery hands are Chinese and Japan
ese. The Chinese make the best men for
the delicate testing OF the cans after they
have been soldered and boiled All our
overseers are white men, and, of course,
are old fishermen.
Our new fish cleaning machine is one
Of the most marvellous inventions l ever
saw It scales and cleans the fish and also
cuts off the heads and fins and washes
the body ready for the cans. From that
machine they slide down a chute. where
they are caught by another cleverly ar
ranged mechanism that cuts them into
pieces that just ht the cans. Another ma
chine puts the pieces In the cans. and by
the means Of an endless chain they are
passed along to where the cans are auto
matically covered and soldered. From the
time the fish is put in the cleaning machine

Daniel Alexander George

Daniel Alexander George was
born in Lincoln County IS years
ago and died in this city at the
home of his son, John George, We'd
nesday morning, November s, at g
o'clock.
Mr.. George had been a resident
of Union City for Is years. He
was reared and married and spent
the major portion of his life in Lin
coin County. He married Miss
Mary EDDIE, whose death occurred
Fl years ago. His home was bless
ed with FIVE sons and two daugh-
tets, all of whom were born in that
country. Three sons and one
daughter are now living, viz: D.A.
George, John George, j. e. George
and Mrs. Mollie Adams. Mr. George
was farmer by avocation and was
an active man in business and pub
lie affairs until he moved to this
country. Since then he has lived
more or less a retired life. He was
a man of intelligence and strong
character. He loved his home and
family, with whom he found COM
plete contentment and pleasure.
Especially was this true in his fail
ing years. He had been very feeble
for some time and lite ebbed away
like a peaceful tide seeking rest.
Mr.. George was a member of the
Primitive Baptist Church and his
life was an example of Christian
faith and practice In the general
summing up he was good man
and that is the greatest work of
creation.
Funeral services were held at 10 |

The Sewerage Question.

At the meeting of the Board o
Mayor ard Aldermen last Tuesday
night the question Of sewerage was
taken up for consideration. MIR
Walker stated that he had beer
making some Investigations along
that line. He had some corresT ond
ence with Mr.. Lancaster at Jack.
son. Tenn, relative to that kind Of
work, expense cf construction, etc,
Since Mr.. Walkers communication
to the local papers, recommending
that the work of sewering the city
be done in installments, it being
settled beyond any doubt that it is
absolutely impossible for the city
to create fund large enough TO
make contract for the entire sys-
item at one time, another still great
k'obstacle seems TO be IN the way,
and that is a suitable place to con-
vey the refuse. If the city should
adopt the plan of incineration,
property holders adjacent to the To-
cation would have some equities in
the matter and il is likely that
they would object to it. On the
other hand it would cost an inn
mehse sum to convey the refuse to
Obion River 1t would require
several miles of main. The work
of sewering looks to be almost pro-
hibited, and yet the Board has ex-
pressed desire to exhaust every
means to test the matter. 1t is no
small job and the responsibility is
very great. 1t is no small under
taking. Yet II it is ever done some
body must begin it, aud the mem
bers Of the present Board have
shown a willingness to bear the
the responsibility inasmuch as they
are already making preliminary in
vestigations concerning the project
The present bonded Indebtedness
Of the city is sos, 600 and the bonds
caunot be retired until 1911. The
charter of the city prohibits the
issuance OF bonds exceeding 5 per
cent of its taxable values. So it
can be seen readily that it is I'M
possible for the city to create a
fund sufficient to make contract
for a complete system of sewerage.
If it is done at all the work will
have to be contracted in sections,
and this plan is an old one. Very
few cities pay for a complete sys-
tenn under a single contract The
work of sewering Is expensive,
hence il is usually done IN install.
