CANNERY WILL RUN
THROUGHOUT SEASON
False Rumor of Closing Agitates
Farmers-Plant Makes
Big Shipments.

It's always hard to tell who starts
rumors, but the fellow who evolved
the one about the cannery going to
close within short time, before the
small fruit season was over, had an
hallucinatiOn that might serve a town
gossip but won't do a person who
poses as a purveyOr of truth any good,
in the opinion of Mark Ewald, manager
of the cannery.
Deny it? No, won't deny tits
so crazy l won't pay any attention to
it," was Ewald's comment when the
rumor was put up to him this week.
We're not going to close-that's fool
ish. We're going to keep open right
along, maybe the year round
The news may ease the minds of
some farmers, however, who had be-
gun to put little faith in the rumor
and from whom the rumor reached
THE WASHINGTON STANDARD Office.
Here the rumOr was branded as false
as soon as heard, because of this
newspapers acquaintance with some
of the plans of the National Canning
company, but the STANDARDS repre-
sentative in the country learned that
the rumor was agitating the farmers
little and SO further denal was OBJ
tanned.
Incidentally the inquiry regarding
the rumor brought forth another in
teresting fact very little known, to the
effect that the bottom has practically
dropped out Of the blackberry market,
according to Mr.. Ewald, due to the in
creasing popularity of the loganberry.
Formerly the black was in pretty gen.
eral demand from bakeries and similar
lines of business, but the logan is the
berry that is now being called for.
Last year the cannery put up some
400 or 500 cases Of blackberries, buy
ing some of its stock from Tacoma
commission houses because luckily but
few berries are grown in this vicinity,
but this year 1t does not propose to do
that 1t expects to take care of the
local crop, If the farmers will sell at
the prices the cannery can pay on &C.
count of the slumped condition of the
market, which will be a little less
than last years prices, though in that
season the plant will be busy canning
apples and pears.
One Of the largest shipments the can
merry has made this season went out
of the plant yesterday. consisting of
1900 cases of gallon cans of raspber-
ries. loganberries and Strawberries, for
the Chicago market. Another large
shipment went to Seattle and Tacoma
last Monday for the Alaska trade, con-
sisting of 1000 cases of berries, taken
on the Lake which made a special trip
for this shipment. Mr Ewald re-
ports the market conditions as i'm
proving generally. while the warm.
dry weather of the last two weeks has
produced far better berry for can
ming purposes.

FUNERAL Of MRS,
GILBERT THURSDAY
Pioneer Olympian Laid to Rest
Died Last Week in Wash
ington, D. G.

Funeral services for Mrs. j. J. Gill
bert, pioneer resident of Olympia
who died in Washington, d. c., last
week after an illness of about a year,
were held at the Presbyterian church
at o'clock Thursday afternoon, the
body having been brought here by her
husband, Capt. J. ]. Gilbert. Rev. r.
M. Hayes, who was pastor of the
church during the Gilberts' long resi-
dence in Olympia, officiated, assisted
by the present pastor, Rev. D. A.
Thompson.
The church was crowded with the
sorrow-stricken relatives and friends
of the deceased and many beautiful
floral tributes were given, as Mrs. Gil
bert's death was keenly felt by the
older people of Olympia who had
known her we'll. She had been ailing
for about year prior to her death,
and an attack of nervous prostration
coupled with the heat and her slight
physical strength prevented her re-
covery.
Mrs. Gilbert was about 64 years old.
She was a member of the Eastern Star
while her husband stands high in the
ranks of Masons, but no lodge cere-
monies were exemplified at the funer-
al, the service being simple and i'm.
pressive. The pallbearers were Messrs.
Millard Lemon, c. B. Mann, H. B. Nc
Elroy, Robert Marr, c. A. Milroy and
w. w. Work.
Mrs. Gilbert came to Olympia with
her parents. Judge and Mrs. B. F..
Yantis, when but a child, making the
trip across the plains. She attended
the local schools and was married here
to Capt. Gilbert. now head of the by.
geographic department of the United
States coast and geodetic survey, and
have been making their home in the
national capital for the last 10 or II
years. They had but one child, who
died young.
Capt. Gilbert has been a valued and
constant subscriber to THE WASHING.
TON STANDARD for many years. During
his earlier service in the government
employ he was engaged in mapping
the topography of the Puget Sound
district, the maps of this section being
his work. In 1897 he was transferred
to the Philippines to carry on similar
work there, remaining there until
about 12 years ago when he went to
Washington where he has lived ever
since.
Mrs. Gilbert had not visited in
Olympia for four or five years. That
she always had the city's best inter.
ests at heart, however, was illustrated
when she donated part of her prop.
erty as portion of the site upon
which the Y. M. c. A. Is located. She
is survived by one brother, J. v. Yam.
tis of this city, and several nephews
and nieces, among whom are George
and Robert Blankenship, and Robert,
Faith. Anna and George Yantis and
Mrs. Hope House, the latter being chill.
dren of Mr. and Mrs. J. v. Yantis. An.

accepted and these must possess a
fair singing voice before they will be
admitted. Strong emphasis will be
placed on the technic and practice of
conducting choruses and on individ-
ual voice culture since most supervi-
sors are weak in the art Of getting
finished results from large choruses
and are unable to sing with pleasing
tone quality or any degree Of express
sion. Pupils naturally initiate the
teacher. 1t is therefore important
that the highest ideals are put before
them. Ample opportunity will be
given to carefully observe the work
in music carried on in the Alma Pub

ton Of Miss Harriet McGreaham.

Alma College desires to become
great in Music. Not that few
splendid talents may be discovered
and developed to become profession
ais but that the entire student body
may be helped to appreciate the
greatest of the arts. To this end
regular college students may elect
certain number of hours in the

something of the theory and prac-
tice Of music and be earning credits
for a regular degree at the same
time. A lecture course on the APP
probation Of Music is conducted for
the special purpose of giving inter
esting information to those having
no technical knowledge of music.

CHICKENS ARE PROFITABLE.
State Fair Superinte ndent Coward Says
Fowls Are Neglected.

Progressive present day farmers
have been brough: to realize that
chickens are really profitable part OF
farm stock" said Frank Coward, SUI
perintendent Of the poultry depart
ment of the Michigan State Fair. in
debating upon the significance of this
division of the Sept 10 to 20 exposi-
ton In Detroit
"The old idea that the chickens can
find rOost for themselves in some
tree, collect their meals In the vicinity
Of the barn and multiply without the
attention of he owne is certainly in
the passing The successful farmer is
taking the attitude that If he Is going
to have chickens he wants the sort
that are going to be a source Of profit
with as little bother as possible He
rightly says. If I am going to keep
'em, why not keep good onesT
ut b S been convincingly demon
a nice little profit of $500 a year, yet
how many farmers can say that their
focks cr~,.te this profit.
1--WE are going TO show poultry
breeders at the Fair this year just
what uniformity in chickens means
We expect to demonstrate to them that
uniform excellence means the best
marketable products both as to flesh
and eggs. Mongrels won't show the
profits that standard bred birds will
and these can be raised If the owner
will only give his poultry little in
telligent care
THE general idea that feeding does
not show in the compoSitioI of the
eggs and carcass is II badly taken one
Heavy rations can be fed certain ac-
tive types, such as the Leghorn, but
the heavier kind. such Us the Brahma.
get zoo fat and their egg production
shows marked depreciation.
1T can be easily seen that having a
uniform flock is the solution of the
feeding problem. They will all thrive
under the same care, and no individ-
ual eds will have to be looked after.
"Simrie home remedies for the
stamping out OF disease will also re
shown at the 1913 Michigan State Fai:
and we are confident that this year we
will have d poultry SHOW that will be
instructive as well as Interesting"
