1t does not speak we'll for our
boosted improvement of fruit can

touches" for full operation, to allow
nearly carload shipment of berries
by express-150 crates-go to North
Fork, Dakota, for disposal. 1t is
noted elsewhere that the cannery had
agreed to start up to an extent
of taking care of the gooseberry sur
plusage, and we had hoped that an
effort would be made to cover the
whole field of early crops.
The National Canning Company
have begun operations to an extent
of taking care of surplusage Of the
gooseberry crop. which is unusually
large, and this action is necessary to
keep it from going to waste. Sew
eral finishing jobs will have to he
completed before the cannery is able
to operate to its full capacity. When
these are made. it will be able to
care for the crops as they come on
and we will have an industry estab-
lished that will be both remunerative
and permanent.
An Eastern exchange notes the
fact that we should have some, if not
more women architects. While most
wives have a very general voice in
planning new dwellings for their own
use it cannot oe disputed that some
body who has professional knowledge
to add the finishing touches may vastly
improve the outlines which experience
has suggested, and to combine this
knowledge acquired by study Of ar
chitectural principles, which with the
practical surety serves to produce a
finished product.
An encouraging indication. of ap-
probation of the low rates of acct
dents and deaths resulting from the
celebration of the 4th of July last
year, over all predecessors is the fact
that present arrangements every
where are said to be inaugurated on
the same conservative basis. Let
Olympia be wise likewise. Let it
not be said that any dealer load

out knowledge that their use would
be prohibited and claim a right to
sell to get even with their cost.
1t is expected that $50 members of
Tacoma Aerie No. 8, Fraternal Order
of Eagles. will fly over to this city
next Sunday. when they will be en-
tertained by the local Aerie with q
picnic on the old Light & Power
Company's park at Tumwater, and
dancing by the Tumwater Club.
While 1t is to be regretted that some
week day had not been selected for
such royal welcome, it 10 not
thought the visiting brethren will de-
part with anything but pleasing
memories Of their visit 70 the Capital
City.
In order TO correct an erroneous
impression ia some minds that the
pioneer picnic TO be held at Priest
Point Park On the 18th Of this month,
is for pioneers only. we are requested
to announce that oil are invited and
will be welcomed whether members
OF the Thurstop county organixation

ed is that those who have lunch has
kets bring them along, and II they
have not to come anyway, a. they

event TO be sure and bring q good
appetite, and be prepared for a jolly
time.
Sunday night the summer home oil

about two miles north Of this city,
was burned to the ground, but tho
