The First Case of Berries Put Up
Everything Moving Along
Systematically-Ross is
~ En- tiled TO Credit.


From wednesdays Daily.
The Durant Canning Co. put
up its first can of fruit last night
at 8 o'clock, all the employees
were in their places long be-
fore the machinery moved and
notwithstanding, they were all
inexperienced, not more than 10
minutes were required to get
them familiar with their work.
The employees are principally
girls and they promise to soon
become experts in their line. ;,
The house was crowded with
about 200 spectators which caus-
ed the superintendent to lower
his brow occasionally when they
got in his way.
There was no trouble in starting
up. The machinery was in per-
feet order and no delay was wit
messed.
The fruit was dew berries that
they began on. The berries start
at the front of the building,
where they are picked and clean
ed, thence to the Gamers, thence
to the station where each can is
filled with hot water, then through
the can wiper on the carrier, to
the capper, thence to the sealer,
thence to the Upper who dumps
into the crate in which they are
cooked in tre process kettle, after
which they are placed in the
cooler, then carried to the storage
room. One case was sold to Hor,
ton Bros, before the first can
was sealed.
They put up about three hun
dred dozen cans last night.
We have in the cannery great
enterprise for Durant, that will
keep at home thousands of dol
lars that have been heretofore
sent abroad.

washington. May so.--Advices con-
firm the magnitude OF tSe disaster suf-
fered by the Russian fleet. and point
to the fact that Russia's hopes. so far
a. this war Is concerned. now lie in
whatever may be accomplished BY the
army in Manchuria. An official report
received from Toxic by the japanese
legation at Washington Monday even
ing says that the Russian losses def
inltely known include two battleships
a coast defense . Zip. five cruisers two
special ships and three destroyers
sunk and two battleships, two coast
defense ships, one destroyer and one
special service ship captured, while
over 5000 prisoners have been taken
including Rear Admiral Nebogatoff. The
Japanese, II would seem, are still pur-
suing the Russians, and u may be some
time before the final result is known
There is nothing to indicate clearly
the extent OF the Japanese losses. and
IL IL suggested from one source that
the Toxic government IL waiting IA
hear from Admiral Rojestvensky by
way OF Vladivostok before announcing
to what extent its fleet has suffered
The news OF the disaster has caused
deep depression In official Russia,
though II is not yet known generally
among the Russian people. Rojestven-
slEy's defeat has given rise to renewed
talk OF peace. II is pointed out by the
Associated Press st. Petersburg corre-
spondent that Russia, in this crisis
will turn to France. through its foreign
minister. Del Casse. while from Wash
ington comes information that Presi-
dent Roosevelt. In accordance with his
promise announced long time ago,
is taking steps to do all IN his power
to bring about peace negotiations.
Nothing has been heard from Vice
Admiral Rojestvensky. In Toxic there
is some belief that he has persisted
while another source says he was res
cued by a torpedo boat. and that he is
wounded.

st. Petersburg. May 9i.-A long ci-
phs rdispatch reached Emperor Nicho-
das during Monday night. but It's con-
tents had not been made public up
to no noon Tuesday. II was unoficlal-
ciaily stated that several fast Russian
pursuers and reach vladlvostok. The
government Is now In possession Of It's
own version OF the naval disaster Sat
urday and Sunday in the Straits OF
Korea. Nevertheless. II appears to he
in quandary as how to break th'
news to the country. A war council
wa held at Tsarskoe- -Selo at which the
emperor urged the issue of an imperial
manifesto. so far as the newspapers
are concerned. the public might believe
that Rojestvensky achieved a victory.
The censor passed all vague rumors
favorable to the Russians. but bluo-
penciled everything indicating a Rus
sian disaster. While the dissstrous
news spread like wild-fire by word OF
mouth over the capital and was quick
ly telegraphed privately to big centers
by anti-government leaders. the coun-
try cannot be said to be still Ia a state
of ignorance as to what happened.

conversant with the contents OF the To-
kio dispatches, warn their readers In

MEMORIAL DAY.
Was Celebrated Yesterday by the Old
Veterans.

Yesterday few OF the oil
soldiers representing the Confed-
crate veterans and the Grand
Army men met, marched to both
cemeteries and the graves of the
soldiers of both a mics were
decorated alike.
They, were led by the Durant
band which played the old and
new martial airs, that must have
caused these old mems hearts to
beat fast, and their eyes to
brighten, as their minds turned
back to the sixtys, when they
were arrayed one against the
other, in the most terrific strug-
gle recorded in modern warfare,
now marching side by side, under
a common flag, brothers in a
common country, decorating
alike the graves OF those who
wore the gray and the blue.
While political differences m~y
cause a division, in their hearts
as we'll as in the hearts of the
younger generation, they are
brothers, citizens of one common
country.
Forty years separates them
from the passions and fierce
slaughter of war; passions have
COOLED, hatred and intolerance
have fled,, leaving nothing but
tender memories--and the Yank
and Johnnie of those days are
memories to be cussed and dis
cussed, but never connected with
the remnant of each army left,
who are brothers, friends and
neighbors.
| Messrs Claud Hatchett and
Victor Phillips we're the speakers
