BLAMED ON THE RAILROAD.
First Thought in Irishman's Mind A.

Railroad claim-agents have little
faith in their fellow creatures. One
said recently: Every time | settle

rural residents who wants the rail-
road to pay twice what he would
charge the butcher if he gets sheep

tive of the way some people want to
hold the railroad responsible for
every accident, of whatever kind, that
happens Two Irishmen were driving
home from town one night when their
buggy ran into a ditch, overturned,
and they were both stunned. When a
rescuer came along and revived them,
the first thing one of them said was:
Where's the train?' Why, there's no
train around he was told Then
where's the railroad?' The nearest
railroad is three miles away he
learned. Well, WE'LL he commented.

THE TRANSCONTINENTAL TRIO
Famous Entertainers Will Appear at
WOOdman Hall on Thursday
Evening of This Week.

The famous Transcontinental Trio
travelling for the Lyceum Entertain.
ment Bureau, will appear at the
Woodman Hall, Thursday evening,
giving the fourth entertainment in
the course which has been secured for

power. Miss Helen Goff, OF Los
Angeles, trained contralto singer OF
wide fame and Miss Maude Annette
Drake, Of Chicago, skilled dramatic
reader, furnish the more serious por-
ton of the program, while George
Bartlett Cutter. of Boston, the inimit-
able singing humorist and imperson-
ator, adds the touch Of comedy that
makes the entertainment complete.
The price Of admission, which was
originally rs cents, has been reduced
to so cents so that the entertainment
will come easily within the reach Of
all, and it is anticipated that an
especially large crowd will be In

MORE MONEY FOR CANNERY

An informal meeting of the stock.
holders In the Dallas Canning Com.
pany and of those interested in the
installment of a fruit cannery In this
city was held in the courthouse yester-
day afternoon to discuss the question
Of increasing the capital stock Of the
company.
G. w. Myer and Fl. G. Campbell,
president and secretary, respectively
of the company, have been travelling
among the canneries of the William.
ette Valley for the past three weeks
and at yesterdays meeting Mr.. Camp
bell frankly laid before the assembly
all the information that they had
gathered during their tour of inspec-
tion.
He showed clearly and conclusively
to those who were present that the
promoters Of the Dallas cannery had
been proceeding along lines which
were entirely wrong, and that they
had been misled by erroneous inform
alton into attempting to begin an
enterprise before they were properly
prepared for it. A cannery cannot be
built and equipped for $500, as they
had been led to believe, but will cost
at least $780,
The subject was seriously discussed
from every viewpoint, and it was
finally decided to call meeting of
the stockholders within a short time
and vote to increase the capitalization
of the company to $4,000. If this
increase Is authorized, sufficient funds
to build and equip the cannery will be
assured, and enough means will
remain to operate the cannery until it
becomes self supporting.
1t was decided to increase the limit
of shares of stock allowed to each
purchaser, so that those desiring to
secure more than two shares may be
permitted to do so Solicitors were
sent out Immediately with the original
lists and met with enthusiastic
encouragement from every former
subscriber. Many who originally sub
scribed for only two shares have
already raised their subscription Ito
four or five shares, and stand ready to
buy more II necessary.
The enterprise will be pressed with
renewed vigor, and now, since the
directors have gotten the work thor
oughly in hand so that mistakes that
might have been made had they
attempted to work blindly and prac-
tically uninformed, may be avoided,
the prospects for the success Of the
campaign for cannery are brighter
than they have ever been before.

instruction along that line. Mr..

favorably received by those present at
the convention, and will probably be
adopted by nearly every one of the
