Richard Krepps. who was injured in
the stage runaway last week, is re-
covering nicely. He is still confied to
his bed but injury to his head, which
was considered the most dangerous of
the many he received in the mishap, is
improving rapidly.
Joseph Groshong. of Trout Lake,
took his fOur-year-old son to Portland
last week where the boy will receive
treatment for what appears TO be in
fantile paralysis. A. B. Groshong, of
White Salmon, accompanied his brother
and returned the latter part of the
week
Oliver V. Lehley, of Vancouver,
Wash, and Margaret May Gilmer, Of
Ringen, were married at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. j. l.. Stunt at Bingen
last Sunday. The birdie is a daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. &. W. Gilmer and was
born and grew to womanhood in this
locality, where she has large number
of friends. Mr.. and Mrs. Lenley will
make their home at Vancouver.
A path six feet wide has been made
from the Wyers property, opposite the
livery barn, TO the steps on the bluff.
The path has been covered with gravel
several inches in depth and will make
an excellent walk. G. Z. Brauaman,
who did the work, states that the en-
tire cost was but S2l. This is one of
the best pieces of public improvement
that has been performed here for some
time, and will be greatly appreciated
by the public. The path in its former
condition was little better than no path
at all, as it was crooked, filled with
rocks and stumps and in some respects
resembled the rocky road to Dublin.
Mrs. Jessie Jewett returned the first
of the week from Portland, where she
had been under the care of physician
for several weeks. Her many friends
will be glad to know that her health is
much improved, but at present she is
unable to receive friends. She wishes
to express her sincere thanks to her
! friends here who showed her so many
deeds of kindness during her stay in
Portland.
George Beetsch. of Burdoin Noun
tain, who does considerable hunting
and trapping every winter, caught four
coyotes and bobcat last week and a
grey wolf this week. He states that
all the hides were in excellent condi-
tion. MIR. Beetsch recently purchased
in Portland three dogs. the breeding of
which is half bloodhound and half
foxhound. and states that he will have
the best hunting dogs in the country in
short time. He is waiting for a
heavy fall of snow when he will have a
better opportunity of tracking game.
He expects TO get some bear before
the season is over.
Members of the temporary cannery
committee, appointed at the meeting
addressed by Geo. II. Tinker, of Cor
wallis. last month, met last Friday
afternoon and nine directors were ap-
pointed who will act for six months.
The directors are: s, c. Ziegler. H.
Williams, j. r. McCracken, l.. 6.
nyatt, Ira E. Hyde. H. W. Hamlin.
Paul McKercher. p. |. Packard and G.
L. Aggers. The board will meet soon
and actual work toward the establish
ment of the cannery will begin at
once. There is considerable prelmin-
ary work to do, but with the men
selected by the nominating committee
the work will be pushed.
All agree that cannery is the most
importaat proposition which has come
before the people of this district for
some time. There may be difference
of opinion as to the cooperative feat
ure, but all realize that cannery is
needed. In regard to the cooperative
part of it, anyone whs is honest in his
opinion against cooperative cannery
| will have to admit that the largest and
most successful canneries in the north
west are cooperative institutions. This
should lend some weight to the argu-
ment in favor of a cooperative enter
prise.
Every man selected for a director
last Friday is grower and good
business man and has made success
of his own business. Practically every
district of any Importance in the White
Salmon valley is represented. If the
growers of this district are sincere in
their desire for cannery now is the
time for them TO pull together.
The cannery is to start absolutely
independent of any existing institution.
All board meetings are to be open
and may be attended by anyone who
has an interest in the institution.
Capital in large amounts has been
offered for the cannery by men inter-
ested in the welfare Of the district.
These men, as we'll as Others, state
that the cannery movement. and par
ticularly this one, is the best enterprise
for this district that has been launched
here in years.
