HOPE FOR BUSY SEASON
The Bullerdick Canning Company
Hopes to Put Up 100000 Cans
of Packed Goods.

The II. c. Bullerdick & Son Can
great preparations for this years
pack. and if the company secures the
acreage wanted the factory will
pack at least four hundred thousand
cans of goods, which will be about
eveny divided between corn and to-
matoes. The pack last year reached
the 10000 figure, although it was
practically the first season the runs
were successful.
The company this year expects to
secure a large acreage of both corn
and tomatoes, as the farmers in the
vicinity of Richmond are taking great
interest in the culture of both. as
much more money can be realized to
the acre than on any other vegetable
or cereal they could raise. The can
ming company will offer the farmers
SIS per ton for tomatoes, an increase
of rs cents over the price offered last
year. They will offer $3.50 for good
Evergreen corn and $500 for Country
Gentleman. considered the tenderest
and sweetest corn that can be secur-
ed for packing purposes.
As the season is yet early the can
ming company have signed no con-
tracts with the farmers but will do
so within the course of the next few
days.
The company will also make great
err preparations for the cider and vim
egar manufacture this fall. Much of
that made last year was for the pat
rons of he company, bu this year the
firm will go into the business on a
large SCALE.

A PROPOSITION IS MADE
WOULD OIL CITY STREETS
Representative of the Good Roads I'M
proyement Company Wants to Use
Richmond Streets as an Advertise
Ment.

G. y. Sheets, who represents
the Good Roads Improvement Com
pany, of Cincinnati, which oiled por-
tions of South Fourth street and Ma
tional avenue last fall, show the de-
STABILITY of oiled streets, called upon
the board of public works Wednes-
day evening for the purpose Of learn
ing whether the people of Richmond
desired to have any more streets oil
ed.
The residents of South Fourth
street and National avenue are loud
in their praises of the process and
the general sentiment of the residents
of the city is that the splendid ma
cadam streets Richmond boasts of
would be greatly improved by the OIL
ing process. Mr. Sheets was inform
ed of the fact and also that property
owners on North Ninth, South Six
teenth and North Seventh streets are
seriously considering having these
streets oiled the coming spring.
Makes a Proposition.
Mr.. Sheets made a proposition to
the board which is regarded as a
lows:
In consideration of the fact that
the macadam streets in Richmond are
the finest Mr.. Sheets has ever seen
and that the oiling process would
make them even better than they are,
the Good Roads Improvement Com
pany will oil the streets selected by
the board the minimum distance be-
ing five miles, at rate much below
the regular rate charged in other
places for this work. This rate will
be decided upon as soon as Mr..
Sheets consults with the officers of
his company, and will then be given
to the board. Mr.. Sheets states that
the oiling of the splendid macadam
streets of Richmond would be a
great advertisement for his company
and that for this reason it can afford
to give the people of this city a re-
duced rate for the work.
Question as to Method.
1t was explained to Mr.. Sheets by
President Merrill that there is ques-
ton as to the proper method to pur-
sue in securing the consent of the
property owners for oiling streets,
but it is thought general canvass
will have to be made because the
unanimous consent of the property
owners on each street it is proposed
to oil is necessary. Mr.. Merrill states
that the city has no authority to ex
pend money for street oiling work.

The above naJlve roots also have the

You don't have to take DR.. Pierce's

COURTS.

Washington. u. C.. Aug. s The
executive officers OF the Southern
Railway who have been in confer
ence in New York throughout the
present week, have. according to the
report here. reached the decision
that it Will be the part of wisdom
10 abandon the litigation instituted
in the federal courts for the multi
hcation of ne 'ucel passenger rates
in several Southern states.

A high official OF the Southern ad-
mitted today that appeal to the fed
eral courts in passenger rate cases
was a mistake. Those who prompt
ed this course argued that It would
be best for the railroads to go be-
fore the Supreme Court of the
United States with a favorable de-
cision, and the position was taken
that such a decision would be the
most likely given in the federal rath-
er than in the state courts
The railroads recognize that they
have lost any advantage they might
have obtained from the federal in
functions given them. and what is
.still worse, they have aroused the
hostility of public opinion. This
they fear will be reflected at sessions
of the legislatures I'm various states
