IL has been very evident here in the
last two years that a canning factory

been many tons OF tomatoes, apples
and other fruits and vegetables that
have not been marketable Mt the time
they ripened and have therefore been
thrown upon the market to the grea,
detriment of the prices on the balance
of the fruit.
The success OF these enterprises in
other fruit raising communities makes
IL evident that similar enterprise
would pay here.
A number OF propositions for the put
Hng OF the present plant in operation
have been broached in the last two
years, but none of them have been
brought to successful issue.
Arrangements have now been COM
pleted by means OF which the present
factory will be taken over and remod.
eled and run on as large scale as the
business will Justify.
The details OF the matter have not
yet been made public. other than that
the various ranch owners here have
been asked to provide 2,bto OF the cap
ital necessary, which amount has been
subscribed by them. The business
men OF Canon are also TO be asked to
subscribe the same amount.
Providing that these conditions are
met the balance Of the necessary cap
ital will be provided and the plant run
on a. large scale as is possible.
We are very hopeful that this enter
ps.se can be started, rs it will provide
employment for large number of peo-
pie in this community. II will also

Mr. Fisher says coyotes and foxes are

Fisher. as to be no longer tempta ton

deer makes its rendezvous along the
higher slopes Of the Greenhorn range
and it is feared that many members of
the band will be unable to survive the
winter unless the weather moderates
to such an extent as to melt the snow
and anord them something to eat.
Cattle, too. are having q hard time of
it and the loss from that source will be
very considerable if present conditions
prevail many weeks more.
The snow was three feet deep on the
top Of the Greenhorn range last week
and was covered with an icy crust
which enectually precluded deer from
getting at any pasturage that might be
underneath and the only recourse left
them for sustaining life wss to eat such
herbage as they could find, which is

the Kansas Missouri troubles, which

CAPTAINS LICENSE REVOKED
For Not Aiding the Sylph While Dis
abled Off the North Carolina Coast.

Washington. September 19.-The
failure of Captain W. H. Hotville. as
master of the United Fruit Company's
ship Oteri. to give assistance to the
United States steamship Svlph. which
was disabled off the coast of North
Carolina on the night Of April 18th,
has cost him his position.
His action was taken by inspection
officers at Norfolk. Va. on September
18th. and the CORRESPONDENCE made
public today by the Department Of
Commerce and Labor. The distress
of the Sylph occurred while Lieutenant
Evans was bringing the vessel up the
coast from Florida where it had been
used by Mrs. Roosevelt. and her chill
dren for a cruise.
1t appears. from the evidence gath
cred by the steamboat inspection SER
vice tina Captain Hotville made lit
tie effort to aid the Sylph. The accu-
sation of Lieutenant Evans and the
reply of Captain HOtville do not ma
terially differ except that Hotville Of
fered an excuse for his action. In the
inspection service it is said this eX-
cuse was the most damaging evidence
obtained.

by the Morgan Liner Ell Cid which put
about from her course to New Or
leans.
The Sylph was taken in tow. but its
condition was so bad that the Nor
gan Liner was compelled to slow down
from ten to five knots and later to
three knots an hour. The report of
Lieutenant Evans closed with this
statement:
II am firmly convinced that had the
FL Cid not taken US into port the
Sylph and all her people would have
been lost"
The report of the inspectors says the
Sylph had broken down and asked to
be taken in tow. and that Captain
Hotville failed to slow down for the
alleged reason hat at the time the
Sylph was spoken the teleorah system
on the Oteri became impaired and
there was no direct n of sending
word to engine room for a reversal OF
the engines. The inspectors held that
this excuse showed the master to be
man without n on that
ground and for negligence revoked his
license
