coNEY ISLAND IN FIGURES.
Present, Past and Future Considered
BY Mathematician.

From the New York Sun.
If" said a man of mathematical
turn of mind. we should put the at
tendance at Coney Island at 900 on
Sundays, and at an average of $4,000
on weekdays, we should have a weekly
attendance there of 100000, which
seems like, and really is, vast num-
Der of people; and 1t might seem that
this enormous number of visitors
would soon exhaust the possible sup
ply of visitors, thar such an attendance
couldn't begin to continue through the
season of, say, four months If We
were to do a little nguring on this we
should find that half million a week
mis- not so extraordinary after ALL the
wonder might be that there are not
more.
"There are 100000 people in New
York, and II every one of this popula-
ton should be included among the
Coney Island goers, it would take,
even at half a million a week, eight
weeks of time to accommodate them
all with single visit each, and it
would take the entire season, from end
to end, to accommodate them all twice.
But there are many thousands of Wis
itors that go to Coney Island many
times in a season, and IL all these
should continue to go in the same
manner and all the rest should try 70
go twice, why Coney wouldn't begin
to hold the visitors that would want
to go there, and the half million a
week would seem small by comparison
with the number then actually going.
AS matter of fact, however, there
are great numbers of city people who
never go to Coney, people who are al
ways going to go, but never go. Prob
ably only small percentage of the
visitors t6aNew York go away without
tplenty of city jewellers who have never
lseen it: and all these, to say nothing
lof the constantly growing population,
yet remain to be drawn upon.
"Coney, know, is not the only peb-
BILE on the beach; there are other out
door amusement attractions and
plenty of them, all around New York;
but even when we take all these, too.
,in account, it is still no wonder that
SO many people are found at the
beaches, for there are so many peo-
pie to sdraw Upon.
suppose we put all the other places
beside Coney down as drawing the
same number of visitors, say half "A
million week That would bring the
total number up TO only a million a
week, which would permit of only four
visits in a season by each of the city's
population; and again we are confront
ed by the fact that great numbers
actually go many times.

much everybody that went to Coney

MURDERER KILLED
BY HIS OWN SISTER
MITCHELL HAD BEEN ACQUITTED
ON THE GROUND THAT THE
MAN KILLED HAD WRoNGED
HIS SISTER.

Seattle, Wash, July 12.-George Mitchell,
the youth who recently shot and killed
Franz Edmund Greffield. the so-called
holy roller prophet and who was aequit-
ted of the charge of murder on plea of
insanity, was shot and killed by his sis
ter in the union station in this city a
few minutes before o'clock this evening.
Esther Mitchell joined the holy rollers"
sect at Coravills, Ore. and was one OF
the most fanatical of Creffield's followers.
When her brother pursued the leader of
the holy rollers to Seattle and shot
him down on the street he pleaded in
justification that Creffield had deluded
and wronged his sister George Mitchell
was acquitted of the charge of murder
on Tuesday, and nearly all of the follow
ing day he spent in searching for Esther
in Seattle lodging houses.

"a COW should always be brought to

brought about by giving her two or three

dry. This will cause her to start In

CANNERY
WILLCLOSE
TOMORROW
Prominent Salem Institution
Will Bring successful
Season to An End

The end of a successful season for
the Salem Mutual cannery will be
reached tomorrow evening.
For some time the cannery has
been putting up apples exclusively
4 and for the past week, the fruit has
4 not been coming in fast enough to
permit of the plant being run at its
full capacity.
Although there is a considerable
quantity of apples that will yet be
brought to the institution, Il has
been thought best by the manage
ment to close the working depart
ment at the end of this week.
All apples that have been con-
tracted for. and all others that are
brought, for that matter will be re-
ceived at the cannery and paid for
at the full market price. The man
agement will ship this to Portland
where they will be canned. II is
understood the Portland factory will
be operated for some time yet.
The successful close OF this season
OF the factory demonstrate that the
enterprise has passed the expert
mental stage. II has been proven
that canning fruit is a profitable in
dustry In Marion county. While Il
is too early for the management to
report to the stockholders what the
profit and losses will be, Il is known
that canning Willamette valley
fruit is a good business proposition.
With an intermission OF only
week or so. the cannery has been
running steadily ever since early in
the summer. Nearly all the time
It has been operated at It's full ca
pacity. Twice during the season,
large additions to the buildings we're
made and still more room can be
used.
IL is now up to the farmers. II
enough fruit can be procured the
plant will be run at its full capacity
all OF next season. The cannery will
begin operations on strawberries
during the latter part OF May and |
will run at full blast until in No
.Vember.
The stockholders and the. mana
gers OF the enterprise have great
faith in the future of the canning
business in this city. They believe
that It is the coming great industry
