GREAT AMERICAN TIN CAN
About 100000. 900 Manufactured Ev-
cry Year BY One Concern.

The American Can Company is man
ufactuing cans at the rate of leo, 600, 900
a month. or ZOO 900, 900 year This
is an increase in eight years of 500,-
000.0 900 cans in the annual output.
This is wonderful record when 1t is
remembered that previous to 1850 com
paratively few cans were manufactur-
ed in this country. The Civil War
gave impetus to the canning industry,
but even then with the great armies
in the field it was not believed that
much food could be trusted to tin cans.
In tue decade after war. however, ex-
perlments were made in every direc-
ton, and meats, frui S, vegetables,
fish and other American products went
IN cans to the remotest parts of the
earth
At the beginning of the Spanish
American War, in 1898, there were 2,
600 canneries in the United States,
which put up annually $72 600, 900
worth of canned goods. Most of the
canned goods were consumed at home,
but the year before the war we sent
abroad canned fruits to the value of
81, ,346, 1881 and canned meats to the
value OF $4,000, 600
Ingenuity and activity In can max
ing ran parallel with the invention of
new machinery and new processes fOl |
the preparation of products for can
cry food used by families was put into |
cans and became an article of mer |
chanGise. This led to specialized in |
dustries suited to the handling of pro-
ducts grown in particular neighbor-
hoods and to the exploiting of crops |
and fruits suited to canning.
For example, about 5000 fishing ves-
sells and % 600 fishermen and 1000 oys-
ter boats, with 20, 900 men, are employ
ed on the Atlantic Coast by canning |
establishments, and the salmon can
neries of the Pacific Coast constitute
one of our great industries.
The tin can has not only contributed
to the comfort and convenience of the
at home and abroad, but
it has led to revolution in the grow
ing of vegetables. great plantations be-
ing devoted to the growing of peas,
beans, etc., to be canned green.
The tin can has much tonnanswer for.
but it has almost eliminated the sea-
SONS from the consideration of the
cook and has made it possible to serve
the most succulent of vegetables and
the most delicious of fruits in The ice

Greatest Horse Range in the U iited
States.

Stretching for 200 miles on the north
side of the Columbia River, from a
point opposite The Dalles in Oregon
away toward the Big Bend in Wash
ington, lies the largest exclusive horse
range in the United States. In this
great expanse OF variegated hills, pral
ries and sand dunes, upland plateau
and river bluffs range the holdings of
the Switzlers, John and Jade" mum
erng II 600 head of horses.
For the past thirty years this ex.
panse of country has been the range
of the Switzers, formerly William,
John and JADE. Ia 1883 William died,
and the other two brothers continued
10 partnership for several years, when
they divided. and each now conducts
his own interests. Jade SwitZler lives
in Expansion, klickitat county, Wash,
twelve miles below the town of Una
tilla, on the north side of the Colum
bia. John SWitzler lives on Switzler s
Island, in the Colum bia River, near the
town of Umatilla.
Jade Switzler owns 600 head of
horses, and John owns I 900 head, the
range for both these immense herds
being in the territory from the Dalles
to the Big Bend. AT the highest time
of the Swltzler holdings, before Will
liam Switzler died, the brothers owned
at one time 49, 900 head of horses.
This was said to be the largest herd
of horses ever owned by one company
in the United States-Farm Progress.
