CANAL HELPS GROWERS
Opens New Market, Says Ewald -
Cannery Pack $4,000 Cases.

The Panama canal, offering cheap
transportation and for that reason
opening markets heretofore closed,
will be a great boon to the berry and
fruit grower of the Puget Sound
country, in the opinion of Mark
Ewald, manager of the National Can
ming company on the waterfront.
which concern has just closed it's
largest season with pack approx
matelys60, 900 cases. more than twice
as much as it handled it's first year.
1912.
The cannery, now entering it
fourth year, is the second largest in
the state, being exceeded only by that
at Puyallup. 1t already has shipped
FIVE carloads of canned goods through
the Panama canal to Eastern sea-
board markets, and though with the
assistance of the Capital National
bank it is carrying over this year a
much larger proportion of its pack
than usual. because Of the democrat
ICED condition of the markets this
fall owing to the war, it anticipates
no difficulty in disposing Of its pack
this spring.
1.-THE canal should be a great in
centive for the opening here of q
large productive field" Ewald says.
"for 1t means a more extensive mar
ket for Washington products, a new
outlet, and also will stiffen prices for
those products"
During the 1914 season the can
merry paid out approximately $4,000
for local labor and about $4,000
for fruits, though the latter came
from outside districts as we'll as from
this vicinity. Mr.. Ewald can see
considerable change during the last
three years among the growers OF
Thurston county and feels greatly en-
couraged by the outlook from the
manner in which the country Is de-
veloping.

WANT BILL REPEALED.
Railroads Campaigning Against SO.
Called Full Crew. Law.

In view of the campaign that has
been waged throughout the state for
several weeks by the railroads against
the so-called "full crew" bill passed
In 1911, which probably will come
before the legislature again this
winter. the following statement by
one Of the railroad companies. in
which 1t is asserted that the law
costs the railroads Of the state $780,
900 year and that 1t should be
called "superfluous crew bill" in
stead of "full crew." sets forth the
railroads attitude:
IAN attempt is to be made to bring
about the repeal Of the useless law.
and an organization 10 now being ef-
fected to handle the work along edu-
cational lines. The law was intro
duced in the Washington legislature
at the instance Of employees in the
train and engine service who did not
expect it would pass in its present
form. In it's operation 1t has been
demonstrated that neither efficiency
nor safety has been proomted by the
law. The public has had time to take
note Of the fact that the extra ex-
pense thus forced upon the carriers.
by reason Of the provisions Of the
bill requiring an extra brakeman to
be carried on all passenger trains Of
four cars and freight trains OF rs
cars, is not justified. The public
pays the bill.

day.
I'VE asked the last legislature to
boost Iowa rates at the last session"
he said. They could not get the
bill out of the railroad committee. No
railroad can await the meeting of the
legislature two years hence. They
cannot afford to wait when they do
not know whether it will be granted"
THE U. S. supreme court recently

unconstitutional. A conference has
not yet been held among the railroad
attorneys. They are waiting to Sc

FLAGS FLYING
IN CHINA TO-DAY
PICKING is DECORATED IN HONOR
OF YUAN-sHI-KAI.
HE ACCEPTS THE PRESIDENCY
Will Take the Throne About the First
Of January-Indications Are That
China and Japan Have Reached
An Agreement.

Picking, Dec. l4.-Flags are flying and
buildings are decorated for a three
days celebration as the result Of Pres
ident Yuan Shi-Kai's acceptance Of the
throne of China, rendered him by the
council Of state.
No date has been announced for the
coronation, but preparations for the
event are being FASTENED. 1t probably
will not take place, however, before
January !, because of the pledge of
China to the entente powers that there
would be no change in the government
this year. Japan's failure to offer fur
ther advice to China is regarded here
Cs an Indication that China and Japan
have reached an agreement.
The text of Yuan Shi-Kai's refusal
and later his acceptance of the state
councils tender of the emperorship
are published. In declining. Yuan
said LIE wa wholly unworthy, as he
had failed to accomplish results as
president. He urged the selection of
someone else. In his letter of accept.
ance Yuan said:
THE public has viewed with in.
creasing Impotence my refusal. Its
expectation of me is now more press
ing than ever. Thus l find myself I'M
able to offer further argument to
escape from the position.
Il therefore order the ministry's bu-
reaus to take concerted action and
make preparations. The laying of the
great foundation necessary must not
be done hurriedly. When the prepare
lions are completed advise me for the
PRONUNCIATION.
Meanwhile all citizens should fol.
low their daily vocations peacefully.
Let not your doubts or suspicious him
der your work. All officials should re-
main faithfully at their posts and
maintain peace and order SO that the
ambition of their great president to
work for the peoples welfare may be
realized"
