FINE SHOWING
Made by the Lynden Fruit Growers Association at
Its Annual Meeting. Bright Prospects Ahead.

The annual meeting of the Lyndel
Fruit Growers Association, comprise
entirely of Lynden and Nooksack val
ley men,. was held at Jamieson's hal
Tuesday, with a large attendance.
The reports of officers shows the
Association, which owns and operate
the ,cannery here, to be in splendid
condition and with the brightest pro
poets for the future.
A motion was carried by which tn
by laws of the Association are to be
SO amended as to allow the board OF
directors to provide for the necessa-
ry loans in order to carry on the op
ations of the cannery.
1t was shown that there will be 81
fieient product grown this season to
keep the cannery running continual
and members of the Association are
urged to put their shoulders to tn
wheel and aid in securing funds te
continue the work. What is needed
now is new members and the
payment of back dues and membersh
fees. 1t is the intention of the Asso
citation to do 500, 200 business tn
year. The Association is fortunate |
having in Mr.. Thompson, the new m
ager of the cannery, the best process
man on the coast. Mr.. Thompson is
thoroughly familiar with every detail
of the business, and there is every
reason to believe that the enterprise
will develop into one of the leading
and best paying industries in this
section. The cannery building is the
largest and best equipped in The
Northwest, and is SO planned that it
will be able to care for all the bust
ness done in the next five years.
The men who started the movement
for cannery have been satisfied
from the very first that it was a
business that was required by the
nature of things in the valley, and
they were optimistic enough to e
rect a cannery building that would
provide not only for the present, but
also for some time to come.
Additional income is needed at
present to take care of the business
that is bound to come to the cam
merry this season. Four or five car
loads of tin cans will have to be
purchased and the pay roll will nee
essarily be larger than it was last
year. All members are, therefore,
urged TO cooperate with the Officers
and directors in their efforts to pro-
vide means to carry out the work

A SPLENDID PUBLIC
SPIRIT SHOWN.

An unfortunate and disastrous fire
occurred on Tuesday morning about
nine O'Clock, when the home of M.
L. McHugh, two blocks east of tn
depot was totally destroyed. There
was no one at home at The time,
Mrs McHugh being i'll Bellingham,
and it is supposed that the fire was
caused by a defective flue. Only d
few household articles Were saved.
No insurance was carried either on
building or contents. The fire de-
partment responded with its usual
promptness, but the fire had evil
dently been under way sometime be-
fore the alarm was turned in, and
by the time the department arrived
it was apparent that the structure
was doomed, and the hose was not
connected.
The blaze that destroyed the
little home of M. L. MeHugh on
Tuesday morning had not yet died
out when movement was inaugur
ated to provide him and his fanli--
ly with new house and the nee
essary furnishings to replace in a
measure what they had lost. The
generosity and kindly spirit of Lyn-
den people towards the afflicted
has manifested itself on other oc-
customs and was not lacking in this
instance. c. H. Sears, E. M. Whit
aker and George Worthen started
out with subscription lists, and
before night had S140 in cash, $50
in building material, and $35 ad-
dif;Onal cash nledge0
This morning, the erection or
new cottage for the McHuehs was
commenced under the direction of
the committee which was appointed
without the formality of a regular
meeting, and which consists of the
following mighty good fellows: c.
H. Sears, f. M. Whitaker, George
Worthen. and P. NJ. Serrurier. The
local banker.
Owing to this generosity
and humanitarianism of our good
people of Lynden, the McHugh FAM
ily. within a week after losing their
home with practically all its con-
tents. will be comfortably installed
in a new and we'll furnished home
provided by kind friends and neigh
bors.

Messrs. Baxter & Charlton. of Chi
cago, who contemplate erecting a
vegetable cannery here If the nee
essary aid is forthcoming, appeared
before the meeting and made some
interesting and pertinent remarks.
They stated that they had visited
various localities in the Northwest
and found that Lynden was in all
respects the best suited for the
enterprise they have in mind There
is no question but what a pea cam
merry here would prove profitable,
and it was their intention TO erect
one costing 100000. All of the
peas now consumed come from the
east. and a cannery at Lynden
would have the best of eastern cam
neries by % cents per dozen cans
on freight alone. The cannery as
proposed by the Chicago gentlemen
would have an output of 100000
42-pound cases per year in the
beginning. There are already three
bidders in the field for the entire
output-Seattle, Portland and San
Francisco. Wisconsin now produces
four-fifths of the peas grown in
the country. Tne Alaskans live al
most entirely on canned goods. and
that splendid market is almost
within stones throw of our
doors.

directors,W S. Russell, E. R.
