WASHINGTON. Oct 15.-The navy
department is still delayed in COM
snencing construction of collier at the
navy yard at Mare island under an ap-
propriation made in 1908 The appro-
pria ation amounted to s15O0,000 for two
feet colliers, with the provision that
one of them be constructed at a gov
ernment yard on the Pacific coast
The other collier has been. COM
pleted. leaving an unexpended balance
Of $3.50, 600. The Pacific coast collier
has not been con3menced, owing to the
fact that il can not be constructed for
the amount available. even with the
addition of 100000 subsequently ap-
propriated. 1t is estimated that it will
cost S1.5O0,00O to construct the vessel
at Mare island.
Probably The vessel could have been
obtained under contract for the amount
available, but representatives in con-
gress from the Pacific coast have in
sisted that it be built there

without my mileage books and grip as

ARMOUR'S EYE ON
FRUIT CANNERIES
Pork Packer Already Has OPP
tions on Big Plants Through
out California

Armour & Co., packers of pork, max
ers of soap and a great many other
necessities. are preparing to invade the
canned fruit industry in California.
Canned cattle will still be played as
the major, but the big bosses of the
industry believe the orchards OF the
ond to the stockyards of Chicago. -
The big plant of the Armours is to
be located in San Francisco, but sub
sidiary factories will be distributed
throughout the state. The Armours
have not fully determined whether to
companies or to start up on a new
basis.
REPRESENTATIVE Is HERE
c. Fl. Davidson. general manager of
the canning department of the Armour
company. with headquarters in Chicago,
has been in California for two weeks
MA king the preliminary arrangements.
He has visited every cannery in Cali
fornia: Plans of the Armours embrace
also the pineapple business of the Ha-
waiian islands. They are now nego-
tiating for the purchase of the Dole in
terests. The Doles are among the most
extensive dealers in pineapple products
In the islands.
During his stay here Davidson has in
spected the properties of the California
fruit Gamers association. 1t is re-
ported that an offer has been made for
the extensive establishment, but no
definite announcement has been given
out. It is known, however, that David
son obtained options on some of the
independent plants in various parts of
the state.
The Armour company was prompted
TO turn to the California fruit business
by reason of discourag ging results with
fruit preserving in Michigan. The
Michigan crop this year was practically
failure.
Is S12,O00.000 INDUSTRY
The fruit canning industry is one of
the largest in California. 1t is esti-
mated that the annual output will
reach in value from S12,000,000 to S15,-
000, 900. About half the business is in
the hands of the California fruit can
ners' association, which operates 80

early in May, and doesn't look over
seventy. This picture, taken twenty,
three years ago, looks exactly as he
does today, save that in picture one
can not see the genial twinkle which
is so characteristic of him nor hear
the pleasant voice. Mr.. Guzeman's
father Abraham Guzeman, enlisted
from Berkeley county, Virginia, town
of Harper's Ferry, at the age of seven
teen and served in the revolution for
seven years. He was wounded three
times. The first time he was shot in
the leg, and carried the bullet all his
life Later in cavalry charge he was
wounded and cut in the side of the
head. In the seventh year of his SER
vice, he was so badly wounded as to
be disabled for active service, but re-
manned in the shops as gunsmith until
the close of the war. After the war
he remained at Harper's Ferry and

PLAGUE OF INSECTS.
Many Trecs-EspeeiaIIy Box-Elder-
Are Covered and Foliage Dying.

The entire country Is suffering from
a plague of insects resembling mite
or tree louise. On first glance the
pest resembles the aphis or aphides,
but it differs upon careful examina-
ton. The boxelder trees seem to be
the special medium OF the bugs ac-
tivity and this species OF tree is lit
orally infested with countless millions
OF the insects. The trees have stop
ped all growth and are exuding a
sticky, gum:iike fluid that falls from
tho leaves as a thin mist and discol-
ors whatever it touches. 1t is claimed
by the wise ones that a good hard
rain would relieve the situation. They
also say that unless rain comes soon
the leaves will wither and fall from
the trees and in many cases the trees
will not recover. The lice are also
to be found on certain varieties of
elm which are acting in much the
same way Birds that so frequently
save vegetation from the ravages of
insects avoid the trees that have fall
en- into possession of bugs, apparently
knowing from the sticky appearance
of the foliage that something is the
matter with their former roosting
places. A disagreeable odor is also
noticeable during the heat of the day,
but whether arising from the hordes
of crawling. creeping things, or from
the emulation OF the trees is not de-
termined.

carried on the business of gunsmith,
later moving TO mongolia county,
where he became an expert silver
smith. He began the erection of a
grist mill, but the day it was com
uleted he was killed.This was in 1921.
The date was cut in stone in the
smoke stack of the mill, which is still
standing. Abram Guzeman was twice
married, and of the twenty-one child
rem, ten belonged to the first family
and eleven to the second. OF the en-
tire number only one, Mr.. A. II. Guze'
man, still survives. One sister, Mrs.
Susannah Guzeman Cobun, died at
Morgantown, w. Va, last March at
the age of 102. Mr.. A. II. Guzeman
is strong and well. He works in the
yard on nice days, and is always glad
to stop and visit with his friends. He
lives with his daughter, Mrs. Emma
Guzeman Heiderman, who celebrates
his birthday in an appropriate way
every year Washington has no chap
ter of Sons of the Revolution, but the
Daughters are very proud to be
allowed to invite him to any social
affair they may have.

ALMOST DROWNED.
Claud Workman Slips Into "Step-off
in Skunk River.

Claud Workman had a narrow es-
cape from drowning at Whitmore park
north of the city, Sunday evening. A
number of boys in camping party
were preparing to so in bathing at a
convenient point near the park.
Workman had preceded the others
and was wading along the stream
not far from the shore and was Jolly
ing" the others. He did not know
that he was on the edge of step
or until his feet slipped on the
steep bank and he went down into a
hole that was much over his head.
He screamed for help as he came up
floundering in the water. His com
panions were able to get to him as
he came up the second time, and they
dragged him to the bank, half stran-
gled and terribly frightened. He
spouted water like whale and was
almost exhausted. He was all right
I'M about fifteen minutes, however,
and was able to resume his sport with
the others of the party.
