CANNERY HANDLING
BIG CHERRY CROP
OUTPUT REACHES 10000 CANS A
DAY-GROWERS HAVE
BETTER SEASON.

With cherries coming IN at the
rate of two tons day, and raspher-
ries and loganberries also being re-
ceived in large quantities, the can
merry is running steadily with 100 en-
ployes, turning out about 10000 cans
of finished product day. according
to Manager Mark Ewald.
There is an enormous crop of cher
ries. Mr.. Ewald says, and these are
forming the bulk of tho cannery'a
present "pack." The late frost
caused some damage to the rasr-
berries and logans. Mr. Ewald says,
so that that crop will not be quite as
large as usual. When the cherries
and berries are finished the cannery
will go to work on pears and prunes.
The strawberry pack was twice
that Of last year, the cannery buying
quite lot of berries from Vashon
island, besides handling the local
crop.
While all the berry crops are much
shorter this year than last. due to
the dry season, the strawberries were
hit the hardest and an almost nor
NAL crop of raspberries and logans is
expected, though continued dry
'eather may cut their season short.
The short crops, however. are making
it possible for the farmers to market
all of their berries. instead Of being
compelled to see many of them go to
waste as in the wet season last year,
80, taking everything into considera-
ton. the present season is expected
to be more favorable one for the
growers.

TO SELECT DELEGATES
Democratic Mass Meeting Saturday
Has Important Business.

The announcement of mass con-
vention of the Democrats of the city
and county, the call for which was
issued by H. P. Briggs, secretary of
the county central committee, last
week, has aroused considerable in
terest among the members of that
party in this section and it is antici-
pated that, if the favorable weather
continues, the meeting at the Labor
Temple at 1880 Saturday afternoon
will attract quite large crowd.
The county central committee will:
meet the same day to transact what
ever business may come before it, but
the afternoon meeting will be the i'm
portant event of the day and local
Democrats are particularly desirous
of large attendance of party mem
bers from all parts of the county. The
selection of Is delegates to represent
Thurston county at the state conven-
ton the following Saturday, July 1S,
is the principal business of the con-
vention, and it is to obtain as repre-
sentative delegation as possible that
large attendance is desired.

PROPOSE TAX REFORM
commission Would Have State Levy
Its Revenues Direct.

The state tax commission has com
pleted the draft of the proposed coli
stltutional amendment which the
next legislature will be asked to sub
nit to the people, to allow amend
ment of the states present admitted
ly archaic tax laws.
The chief feature of the proposed
amendment is Section 2, which pro-
vides that taxes shall be equal on ali
property of the same class, substi-
tuition for the present provision thai
taxes on all property shall be "uni-
form and equal" The proposed
amendment would allow segregation
of sources of revenue, so that the
state could derive it's income solely
from railroads and other public ser
vice corporations, leaving all other
property to be taxed solely by the
political subdivisions of the state.
This would eliminate the present
annual process of attempting to dis
tribute fairly the state taxes between
the different counties.

START ON $4,000
APARTMENT HOUSE
THIS BLOCK. NEW FOURTH
STREET BUILDING AND RAIL-
ROAD UNDER WAY.

Work was started this week on
the erection of Olympa's new $780,
900 apartment house at Fourteenth
and Main streets, which is being
erected by r. NJ. Fouts, owner of
several Seattle apartment houses. At
the same time workmen began re-
moving the debris of the old city hall
building adjoining the courthouse on
East Fourth street, owned by p. M.
Troy and Fred w Stocking, and all
nouncement was made that work
would be started as soon as this was
completed on the erection OF a two
story office and store building on the
site to cost at least SIS, 900.
Mr.. FOuts came to Olympia the
fore part of the week, accompanied
by Architect w. p. White, to super
wise the erection of the building and
crew of men was put to work i'm
mediately preparing the grounds for
the foundation. Considerable of the
construction will be done by con-
tract, bids for which will be called
for right away, though there are
will be done by workmen under di-
rect supervision of Messrs. Fouts and
White. The work will be carried on
as rapidly as possible, so that the
building will be ready for occupancy
in the early fall.
The removal of the old city hall
building, partially destroyed by fire
a little more than month ago, marks
the passing of one of the city's land
marks but the new structure which
Messrs. Troy and Stocking will have
erected OH the site will mean a great
Improvement in that part Of the busi-
ness section. The new building will
be at least two stories high aud per-
haps three, as the owners have had
several requests to add another story
to their original plans for two
story building.
During the last two weeks, too,
three camps have been established by
the contractors working on the grad
ing of the O.-W. r. & Ms new line
into Olympia, two in the south part
of the city near the Israel place under
which tunnel will be dug, and the
third on the prairie near the Hays
schoolhouse. A considerable force
of men are at work clearing the right
of-way and the necessary material
and machinery are arriving daily.

WAsH|NGTOKS CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY PROMPTS TELL
OF ORGANIZATION HISTORIC BoDY-.oR
INFORMATION CONCERNING MEMBER is TOLD

Last Saturday, the Fourth of July,
was the twenty-fifth anniversary OF
the assembling of this states consti-
tutional convention, shortly after
statehood had been granted, and this
fact prompted Allen Weir of this
city, then member of the convention
from Port Townsend, it's temporary
secretary and later the first secretary
of state of the new state, to compile
the following bit of history concern
ing the convention and it's member
ship.
So far as Mr.. Weir knows, the in
formation contained in the following
article has never been printed before,
giving, as it does, the name, party,
occupation, county and birthplace of
each member of the convention, COM
piled from records which Mr.. Weir
has zealously guarded all these inter.
vening years. In view of the recent
talk in some parts of the state rela-
tive to another constitutional con-
vention, Mr.. Weir's article is not only
appropriate as calling attention to
the twenty-fifth anniversary of the
first constitutional convention but is
apropose as a subject of timely dis
cussion.
The article is:
A quarter of a century ago today,
July 4, 1889, the then newly elected
members of the Constitutional Con-
vention for the purpose of framing
constitution for the new state OF
Washington, convened in Olympia,
Washington Territory. The conven-
tion consisted of rs members, elected
from 25 districts of the territory un-
der the act of congress passed during
the previous month of February.
Under the provisions of the act of
statehood the convention was as near
ly non-partisan as possible, it having
been provided that each district
should be entitled to elect three
members, not more than two of whom
should belong to any one political
party. There were but two political
parties in the territory at that time,
the Republican and Democratic, al
though two of the delegates elected
designated themselves as belonging
to the Labor party. These We're NJ. J.

McElroy and w. l.. Newton, both
elected from King county. ]. J. Weis-
enburger, Republican was elected
as an Independent from Whatcom
county, and S. G. Cosgrove, Republi-
can, was elected as an Independen:
from Garfield county. The record
showed that of the IA members in az,
tendance at the opening of the con.
vention. As were Republicans, q
were Democrats and 2 were Labor
partyites.
Under the act of congress the con-
vention was required to meet on the
Fourth of July. This it did by as.
sembling at the old Territorial Capt.
tol building, when Col j. A. Moore
of Spokane was elected temporary
chairman, and Allen Weir, then of
Port Townsend, was chosen temper
ary secretary. In the permanent or
ganization following, Judge John P
Hoyt of King county was chosen for
president and John I. Booge or Spo-
kane, not member of the con
vention, was elected secretary. OF
the members of that historic conven.
ton, at least 80 are known to be
dead and gone at this writing. OF
those surviving, Thurston county has
four residing within her limits; these
are: Judge r. F. Sturdevant, Judge
M. M. Goldman, ex-State Printer Gwin
Hicks and ex-Secretary OF State Allen
Weir. None of these were elected
from Thurston county. ExState
Auditor T. NJ. Reed, Judge Francls
Henry and John f. Convey, all OF
whom were elected from this county
are all long since deceased.
The convention was made up OF
men selected from wide range Of
occupations, having wide diver
gence of birthplaces, and almost with
out exception either young or in their
prime of life. OF these members, Hi
ram E. Allen of Spokane, a lawyer
was born in Indiana. His eminen
brother, John B. Allen, was the las
territorial delegate to congress anC
one of the first United States senat
ors.
