Tacoma, April 23.-Don Fulano, the
wonderful horse which was to have
been shown III this city at the Taco,tl a
theatcr, will be unable 10 make his APP
pearance as scheduled, as a result of a
! wild tear in the tileater during which
the horse was badly wounded and SO
seats of the house wrecked and 200
others torn loose from their fasteu-
ipgs. The accident occurred about 1
o'clock Monday and was the result of
the horse becoming frightened.
In charge of strange groom the
horse was led to the theater. While
walking down the extreme right aisle
he struck his hip on a projecting rad
iator. With a whinnv of fear the an
i,nal plunged into the seats and bound
ed across the house, leaving a trail OF
wrecked seats behind him. After
crossing the floor several times Don
Fulano slipped and fell across two
rows of seats, where he lay groaning
in agony and kicking about madly
with all his feet. It was half an hour
before he could be taken from the
theater. The horse is in charge of DR..
Ellis, who holds part interest in the
animal, which is valued at several
thousand dollars.

Small Orchard Tracts Could

INDUSTRY PROFITABLE IN UTAH
There Farms Are Small and Returns

bles Large---Conditions Diff
ferert Here.

Senator Miles Romney returned Sat
urday evening from Salt Lake City,
Ogden and other northern Utah
points, where he went as a represen-
tative of the Hamilton Business Mems
Club to investigate conditions sur
rounding the canning industry. He is
very favorably impressed with the
possibilities of a cannery in this Sec
tion and believes it would solve the
problem for the owners Of small or
,chard tracts who need some source of
to bearing, which could be realized
from the growing of small fruits and
vegetables for cannery consumption
Mr.. Romney arrived in Utah April
20 and found the season unusually ad.
vanced, the peach and apple trees be-
ing in full blossom. The section is
an excellent one to visit for informa-
tion of the kind he sought. There are
80 canneries operating in Utah and a
majority of them are in the vicinity of
Ogden.

annually.
Small farms are the rule in Utah.
A 1O-acre tract is a large farm
These are intensively cultivated, most
of the owners having large families
who assist in the work. The land is
valued at from $500 upward. The pro-
ducts consumed at the canneries are
grown under contract and do not
seemingly command large prices, but
the growers are all prosperous. To-
matoes last year were sold to the can
neries for SO ton and were bought
this year for 81. Apricots will bring
$40 ton this year and peaches Sis to
$35, according to grade. Apples are
bought for 500 per cwt. and plums 75c
per cwt., raspberries for cents quart
and Strawberries S cents. Profits
averaging $3.50 an acre are realized by
growers of tomatoes who sell to cam
neries, and $3.50 on beans. The cam
ming season is a rotary one, begin
ming with the earliest products, as
peas and beans, and lasting till after
the apple season. 1t is estimated that
50 per cent of the output of Utah can
neries finds market in Montana.
In Cash valley, Utah, the industry
of canning condensed milk and cream
is becoming important. A carload of
evaporated cream is shipped from
Logan every day.

merry that was established in Missoula

James Dixon, who grew his own pro-

III ON JONES has a laundering after
championships that he does not
n try to conceal. The first tryout
for him as manager of AID Wolgast was
featured by the best fight that the
Milwaunl1ee boy has shown since he
came to the coast, and before the scrap
came off Jones got busy and made
match for Wolgast with Attell for the
featherweight championship to be
staged next Friday night, the only pro-
vision being that Wolgast win, other
wise Mccoy would be given the match.
Jones believes that Wolgast will whip
Attell, and already feels that he will
have a champion on his hands in less
than another week. His success with
Billy Papke, whom he took out Of the
mines and placed in the championship
seat of his division, makes the Wolgast
outlook decidedly good, especially since
the SchlitztoWn kid showed in such
great form last night.
Hen Berry is riding toward Los An
geles on the Owl, and will arrive this
morning. He telegraphs regarding the
result of his conference with the out
laws as follows: Baseball situation
practically unchanged. 1t looks like
four or six clubs again. did every
thing l could. Am waiting for Johnson
and Pulliam to come west" The tele-
gram was sent from Tracy. About the
only item of news in the above dis
patch is the information that the presi-
dents of the two major leagues are
coming to the coast to help round up
the outlaws, and that means that after
the conference between the outlaws and
the two presidents there will be peace
or war on a big scale. The visit of the
leaders of the big leagues means that
they will come west to settle the ques-
ton of taking the outlaws into class B
or lay plans afterward for conducting
war of determination against them.
In the latter event the National base
ball commission will back the Coast
league in war that will be the real
article.
War in baseball is about as near to
that place described by the great gem
eral as it is in actual clash between
two great armies, but the time seems
ripe for the Coast league to get busy
Los Angeles herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1900-1911, 1908-12-05

and reform the State league, even if
1t is found necessary to use force to
do it. With plenty of money to keep
up a war on the outlaws, the Coast
league can make things hum to beat
the band. But, war or no war, 1t
looks like Los Angeles fans are up
against the necessity of supporting
team in the Coast league next season
on a playing schedule so necessarily
unsatisfactory as to dampen all ardor
and quiet the enthusiasm that the
Angels created by winning the pennant
last season.
The first runups of the season oc-
Cured yesterday at Santa Anita. After
Brush Up won the third race, w. Ga
griel, owner of Monte Lucille, which
finished second, bid up the selling price
from $500 to $500, and p. Hogaboom,
owner of the winner let Gabriel have
his Ben Brush mare. Hogaboom is a
young fellow and was unable to pro-
tect his horse further than he did
Another runup occurred in the fourth
race. Eddie Ware, owner of Elizabeth
F., which ran second to Proper, boosted
the selling price on the veteran to
$500, and Herman Brandt, owner of
Proper, let him go. 1t was only few
days ago that Brandt paid $1,000 to
Walter Jennings for Proper, since
which time he has won two races with
him.
Quite an attractive card has been
arranged for the entertainment of the
Saturday crowds at Santa Anita thlA
afternoon. The feature event will be
the Vernon selling stakes at one mile
and horses of good class are to contest
for the rich prize. The stakes will
have a gross value of $3.50 il no added
starters are named today. Hildreth
will send Restigouche and Dandelion
after the money and for once in his life
his entry will not be forced to carry
top weight. All the candidates named
in overnights are in at remarkably low
selling prices and somebody is apt to
lose a good horse for small sum. In
addition to the stake event the Pacific
handicap at one and one-eighth miles
will be run. 1t will be third on the
program and brings out classy field.
Four other attractive events are carded
and good sport should result, especially
