An effort IS being made to have the
cannery at Freewater in operation
this fall and the Commercial Club is
in communication with the owners
and other parties with the object in
view of getting the cannery reopened.
Taking occasion of the meeting of the
cherry growers on Saturday night, the
matter was brought before the meet
ing by J. $ Ninson, j. p Neal and
d. C. Sanderson. The owners of the
cannery are unable to find capital to
completely run it and it is proposed
that the growers turn in their fruit
and wait for their pay until the fin
ished product is marketed. The grow
ers we believe will agree to this Fur
ther developments will be noted in the
Times as they occur. Every grower
should be interested in the matter as
the opening of the cannery means the
transmution into money of what is
otherwise largely a wasted product

j. w. Jones came in from the har-

somewhat unfamiliar, and approached
his bull dog without any preliminary
salutation. The dog promptly pro-
ceeded to Chew him up, and was be-
ginning with his hand when Mr.. Jones
managed to make himself known. The
dog then grew humble and apologetic,
and spat out chunk of its owners
flesh by way of showing its remorse.

Difficult Question Presented.

"IJnder the present circumstances the
situation is complicated, in view OF a dis
agreement between d number of citizens
in Chevy Chase and Mr.. Cummings, their
local representative in the house. Con-
trary TO what is desirable, this disa gree
ment has been augmented rather than
adjusted, and at present it presents a
very difficult question to solve. There is
no opposition from the political point of
view, and there never has been any
friction between the democratic party in
Montgomery county and the various mu-
inequalities that have been created in
the county, in which a great many re-
publican officeholders from Washington
reside. This is illustrated by the situa-
ton in Kensngton. Takoma Park and
other localities.

sents Difficult Question.
HOPES FOR AN ADJUSTMENT
Delegate Cummings Asserts He Has
No Serious Opposition to
Proposed Charter.
HOPES FOR AN ADJUSTMENT

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 21-State-
ments have been made by Delegate a. J..
Cummings of Montgomery county and
Senator Blair Lee, explaining their po-
sition regarding the proposed charter for
Chevy Chase, Md.
Mr.. Cummings said that personally he
had no serious opposition to the charter.
but that he believes that a taxing area
law for Chevy Chase would be a better
plan.
Under the proposed charter" said Mr.
Cummings. the local government of
Chevy Chase would have the power TO
pass ordinances or local laws and would
take away from the county commission
ers certain powers. L believe that this is
inadvisable and that the people of my
county are not in favor of such q scheme
People move to the county to get awav
from such local measures and they want
all the freedom of country life"
Municipal Party Wins.
Senator Lee said: The affairs of the
people of Chevy Chase and their munich
pal projects have received more attention
at the hands of the Montgomery county
delegation than those of any other local
ity i'll the county. At the last session of
the legislature there were great differ
ences of opinion there, which made a
condition almost impossible to unravel,
so the delegation decided to permit both
sides to draft the bills they wanted-one
for the municipality and the other for a
local taxing district-and to have the
question submitted to a referendum Con-
trary to expectations. apparently of both
sides. the matter turned out to be very
close and was decided in favor of the
municipality by "A vote of 60 to 5S The
taxation group then went into the courts
and had set aside the mupicipalitX law

The Taxation Proposition.

THE local situation in Chevy Chase is
complicated by a local minority who are
strongly opposed to the taxation feature
of a new charter, with the right given in
the charter to provide a reassessment of
values upon different basis than the
taxation for county purposes and with a
tax rate to be based upon this new as
sessment 1t is quite probable that most
of the difficulty comes from this question
of taxation, and a number of the inhabi-
tants there who have moved into the
county to purchase property and build
houses put in. as they do in other sections
of the country, strong plea against
increased taxation, which they say will
destroy their equity and prevent them re-
deeming their homes from membranes.
II trust that some satisfactory adjust
ment may be reached, but at this late
date in the session it presents an es-
pecially difficult local situation"

At Odds With Smith.

Senator McCumber did not agree with
Senator Smith.
Il do not wish the implication to go
unchallenged that the death rate is the
same among those reported in these bills
as among the rest of the soldiers" Mr..
McCumber replied. 81 think altogether
about 500 cases have been considered and
reported. Perhaps there would have been
800, but nearly 100 claimants have died
since we began the consideration of and
reported this bill There is no such pro-
portion of deaths among the soldiers
generally, which goes to substantiate
what L have claimed that the committee
try to reach the cases of the greatest
exigency, whore there is distress and
where there is sickness, and If we err at
all we err on the side of our better emo
tons and from sense of gratitude to
those who were the defenders OF our
country. That so many of them die be-
fore We can get any bill for their bene
MT entirely considered that we must strike
out Il tenth of the claimants is evidence
that they are in necessitOus circUm-
stances as rule and need the relief pro-
posed to be granted
In carrying out his fight Senator Hoke
Smith requested that each of the lSS
names in the first of the seven bills on
the calendar be taken up individuality
He was overruled by the chair, and he
then proceeded to offer amendments to
strike out individual names.
Two Bills Are Passed.
The first he moved to strike out was
Thomas Jefferson, negro, of the 123d
Volunteer Infantry. Amid the laughter
of the Senate, he acknowledged he had
not noticed the name of the beneficiary
before making his motion. Jefferson's
name was retained by Il vote of 81 to S.

tons of Senator Smith.

Many Veterans Have Died.

I'm the time the senator from Georgia

about twenty of these old veterans have
passed into eternity and they will re-
ceive no benefits from any pension legis-
lation, he continued. He pointed out
that Il bill appropratinS more than
$4,o0o.vo had just been passed in about
twenty Misunderstanding to the fortifica-
tons appropriation bill-without consid-
erlng each item separately, and he add
ed that it hardly seems fair to demand
the consideration of each item in the
pension bill then pending. involving only
Il few hundred thousand dollars.
of course, l realize the fact that some
of the persons named in these bills have
PASSED away pending the consideration of
the bills in the Senate and in the other
house of Congress-, Senator Smith of
Georgia answered. but it Should also be
remembered that during thai time thou
sands and thousands of people all over
the land who have had no pensions have
passed away. They received nothing from
the government, and while ii is distress
ing that all of us must die, it is no rea-
son why a pension should be granted IN
case where the facts do not warrant
