CANNERy TO REDUCE
PACK Is PER Gent
CROP OUTLOOK POOR AND DE-
MAND FOR CANNED GOODS
LIGHT.

With prospects that the local fruit
and berry crop will be quite poor,
with a considerable "carry-over" from
last years pack" and with a slack
ened demand for canned goods, the
National Canning company, on the
waterfront, expects to reduce its 1915
pack" 25 per cent under that Of last
year, according to statements made
by Messrs. McCaffray and Ewald this
week.
The cut will be made in strawber-
ries, plums and black cherries, the
1915 pack of Strawberries being about
10 per cent Of that Of last year, while
no plums or black cherries will be-
canned at all. Growers of raspber-
ries, loganberries, Royal Ann cher
ries, pears and prunes. will be more
fortunate, however, as the cannery
expects to handle the entire local
crop of these berries and fruits.
Reasons for Reduction.
For the first time since it was es-
tablished here four years ago, the
cannery is reducing it's output, having
formerly increased its operations each
year, and it is the first time, too, that
It is carrying over into a new season
part of its previous years "pack." :"
This fact, coupled with the decreased
consumption of certain lines Of their
product owing to the shutting down
of the logging camps and the fact
that the buying in the Puget Sound
market to date has been considerably
below normal, compels the reduction
in the cannery's output this year. Mr..
McCaffray has just returned from a
months trip East, during which he
was successful in placing enough
future orders to warrant operations
on the reduced basis.
Messrs. McCaffray and Ewald feel
quite gratified on being able to oper-
ate the cannery on even the reduced
business, owing to the particularly
unsettled state of the canning busi-
ness which has compelled many plants
to shut down this year. and say it is
possible only through the cooperation
of the Capital National bank. The
cannery will start operating some
time next week, putting up strawber-
ries, and will then handle raspberries.
loganberries. Royal Ann cherries and
the other crops as they ripen.
Good Crop of String Beans.
The cannery has contracted with
various farmers throughout the coun-
ty for approximately 40 acres OF
string beans, about the same acreage
that was planted last year. The 1914
season, however, was so dry that
there was practically no crop, but the
recent rains make the outlook for this
years crop good, according to Man

RESOLUTIONS SHOW
L|CHT.WATER PLAN
MUNICIPAL SYSTEMS TO BE ES-
TABLISHED BY LOCAL I'M.
PROVEMENT DISTRICTS.

Resolutions adopted by the city
council Wednesday night. proposing
that the local improvement district
plan be employed in the laying of
water mains and the erection of elec-
trio light poles and wires, reveal the
method by which the city plans to
carry out the improvements needed
when it becomes the owner of the
local water system and when the
plans for the establishment Of mu-
nicipal lighting plant now being
worked out, materialize. These reso-
lutions appear among the "City Legal
Notices" on another page and are
Nos. 1913, 1919, 200 and 201.
The action with reference to the
installation of new water mains Is
precipitated by the paving now in
progress in the southern part Of the
city, the new improvements of this
character proposed and the contracts
for further paving to be awarded by
the city council Friday night Of this
week. In all of these districts new
mains will have to be laid, the COM
pany is unwilling to incur the expense
and the city. though not yet the owner
of the waterworks system, is COM
PEELED to work out some plan so that
the paving will not be delayed.
Cases Now Before Court.
The supreme court now has one
case with reference to the water plant
before it, that by which the company
sought to prevent the city taking over
the plant Immediately and before the
company's formal appeal from the
$88,50O verdict in the condemnation
suit had been decided by the supreme
court. This feature of the case was
argued before the court last Friday
but no decision has been handed
down. A second case, that brought
by George H. Uhler Of this city, on
behalf of John E. Price & Co., the
Seattle bonding company which has
offered to buy the $4,000 water
bonds, to test the legality of the issue,
will also be presented to the supreme
court the latter part of this or the
fore part of next week. In the hear
ing on this case in the local superior
court the latter part Of last week, the
city's contention that the bonds are
legal was sustained.
Take Time by Forelock.
With reference to the proposed mu-
nicipal lighting plant, bids to furnish
the city light and power are to be
opened by the council July Z, and in
the adoption of the resolutions this
week providing for the construction
of the distributing system, the coun-
Gil is taking time by the forelock" so
that all such details can be worked
out within short time after the city
lHlO q hSht ohu Po"CA SSh
tract. The resolutions covering this
subject come before the council for
hearing and protest at it's July 7 meet
ing, while those concerning the in
stallation of water mains are to be
heard June 23.
The resolution adopted this week
provides for practically a duplication
of the Olympia Light G Power COM
pany's distributing system, except
that the Westside is not covered. 1t
provides that not only the property
within the district covered by the sys-
TEN but that adjacent to it shall be
assessed to pay the cost of construct
ing the system.

Breed was reelected at the session of 1913, under agreement that the court would have a demo cratic prosecutor and clerk, similar arr3nSelae enf being made in all judge ship chosen by that session of the leg fslature. In the few cases where such arrangement could not be made, Judge Baldwin made recess appointments. So far as can be learned MT.

Fight Draw.

the gridiron here Saturday when
the Parma high school and the
second team Of the College of
Idaho clashed in a hard fought
scoreless tie. The two teams
we're evenly matched and the
ball was kept in the cen ter of the

although both goals were in
danger at times. The college
made most of its gains on line
plunging and end runs, while the

and depended mos tly on the use
Of the forward pass. several
pretty passes from formations

starred for the college. while
Quarterback Stockton showed
up well for Parma.
