THE CANNING PROBLEM SOLVED.

In the past there has been much
said relative to the establishment of
a cannery in this part of the valley.
Unquestionably cannery would
lprove valuable accession, providing
as it would, home market for surplus
fruits and vegetables, yet a cannery
of adequate capacity to handle the
products of the valley would require
Ia large investment backed by consid-
cradle ready capital to meet the cost
of operation and pay for the raw ma
terial. 1t seems difficult to find men
Of means and experience in the busi-
ness to make the venture in this To-
cality. However, if general cannery
is out of reach just at present, there
is most excellent substitute immedi-
|ately at hand. The solution of the
problem is in community canning un-
der a sysem that bears the federal and
state stamp of approval, which will
answer every purpose of large gen.
eral cannery and prove in the end
more satisfactory to those who may
venture into the experiment, as it
canned goods for home consumption
but can be made to pay the operators
a very handsome profit. The word
I"experiment" is used, but the system
referred to is not an experiment, it is
a practical certainty in the matter of
canning and has been successful
wherever tried out
Prof. H. L. Rowley, head of the Mol
son schools, is our authority for rec
ommending this new system of can
ming. Prof. Rowley is representing
both the national and state govern
ment as lecturer and demonstrator
in introducing this family and commu-
nifty canning system. His chief aim
has been to organize boys and girls
clubs to engage in canning. He de-
clares and has documentary evidence
to sustain him, that any active and in =
telligent boy or girl can readily mas
ter the system, and can clear any,
where from $500 to $1,000 during the
canning season, and hat should be an
incentive to investigate.

POTATOES have taken terrific slump
during the past week and are again en-
tering the daily family menu. If any
there be who held out for still higher
figures than the unprecedented prices
that ruled fortnight ago, they are
going to be fooled, and deserve to be
fooled
Now, you enjoy fun. There would be
something wrong in your make up if
YOU didn't. Everybody likes the spice
|of nonsense now and then. Your chance
to enjoy a bushel of fun, and then some
| is coming on Saturday evening. March
18th, when the band boys will give a
masquerade in the Orpheum. II you
dance and mingle with the gay throng
the greater your enjoyment, but on
Occasions OF this kind the man and
woman in the audience also extract
a vast amount of amusement from the
motley array. Be sure and attend that
dance, either as participant or a
wall flower, and you will sure have the
worth of your money many times over.
The high school basket ball team of
this place goes to Okanogan today to
play the championship game with the
crack Conconully team, the game TAX
ing place this evening. If it were not
that so much time must necessarily
be consumed on the trip many patrons
of the game at this place would be on
hand to root for the home team, for
| 1t is going to be contest worth see
ing Both the Conconully and Oroville
teams have lost but single game
during the entire season; both are in
the pink of condition and the game is
going to be the greatest display of
skill that has been seen in this coun-
ty. Here's hoping that the boys will
bring back the pennant.

ling the poison or trap, and remount
his horse without leaving a sign of
his presence Poison bats should not
be placed too thickly along such a
trail. Six or eight to the mile are suf-
fcient to account for such coyotes as
discover and follow the line.
(3)-Poison bats may be placed al
most anywhere along stock or cross
country trails in connection with a
scent attractive to coyotes. The rotten
fish scent government formula) is
especially useful. A few drops on
brush or grass tufts usually causes
coyotes to investigate Bats placed
within two or three feet of such scent
spots are likely to be found by the
animals.
N-Poisoning large bats or car
casses is not recommended. The prac-
tice is largely responsible for much of
the objection on the part Of residents
to poisoning. Large bats without
poison are useful as poison stations,
Especially when the snow is deep.
Whenever coyote signs are noticed
about such stations" the small, lard
sugar bats may be used to a good ad-
Vantage.
Care and precaution to avoid acci-
dents In poisoning operations cannot
be too strongly advocated. Proper ap-
plication and supervision will do
much to overcome the existing preju-
dice against this valuable and econo-
mical method for controlling preda-
tory animals. Further suggestions on
the subject of poisoning will appear
in the National Wool Grower, publish
led at Salt Lake City, Utah, as they are
determined from several large expert
ments now in progress under direc-
ton of the government, or a letter to
Mr.. Edgar F. Averill, Pendleton, Ore.

the modus operandi, but the outfit is
simple and the cost is a bagatelle
when its capabilities and capacity is
taken into consideration. The operat-
ing plant occupies a very small space,
| is easily operated, and will turn out
immense quantities of the finished
product. Fruits, vegetables and meats
can be canned with equal felicity, and
will keep indefinitely. One outfit will
provide canning facilities for several
families. Whatever is put up by this
process is in perfect condition, no
matter when opened and used. Even
corn can be canned on the cob, and
when used the corn will be found as
palatable and fresh as the day 1t was
taken from the stalk. Chicken or other
meats will retain their firmness and
flavor after being canned for years.
Furthermore, the cans bear the gov
|ernment stamp and command better
price in the market than products put
up at regular canneries.
Prof Rowley gives illustrated lec-
lures on the subject. and we are In
nope tudt lie Will De dDle 10 give HIS
lecture before the Commercial club at
an early date. when every land owner
in this vicinity should be present, as
he carries a message of inestimable
value to them. He should be secured to
present the proposition before the 10
cal high school and 1t would be es-
|pecially interesting to the domestic
science class. Prof. Rawley is In nc
sense beneficiary from his efforts
to introduce this canning system. He
represents Pullman college as lec-
turer. He will come here willingly and
gladly at any time and explain the
system and there are no costs or
charges to be met by individuals or the
public. He offers an opportunity to the
land owner, the housewife, to boys
and girls that will prove Of incalcu-
able benefit, and that without a cent
of expense to the public. Considering
what this canning proposition means
tc the people of this valley would it
not be the part of wisdom to secure
his presence as soon as possible?

Ed. Davis has done his spring
primping early in the season at his
hardware store on the south side of
the track and the interior of his estab-
lishment looks as bright as a new

ton. In addition to the rejuvination
OF the interior Mr.. Davis has spread
out his stock to the very best advan-
tage, both as to display and conven-

j. F. Knight and Jack Sogle have
invented a wagon brake that from the
very nature Of the contraption, its
ease OF manipulation, its performance
OF what Is claimed for it, is bound to
bring 1t into universal use as rapidly
as users of wagons can be made
familiar with its working. The inven-
ton Is called friction brake, It fits
inside and is attached to the rear
wheels, and with slight exertion the
clamp is applied and the revolution
OF the wheels instantly ceases. The
brake should make fortune for the
Inventors.

full Justice to the viands set before
them. 1t was one of the most largely
attended sessions Of the Club that n
taken place since the last annual
meeting, and it was q pleasure to note
the enthusiasm manifested by thoso
present. The sincerity of this optimis-
tic spirit and loyalty to the organiza-
ton was indicated in the promptness
in which members paid their dues,
more than 800 being paid into
treasury within few minutes.
Besides q large attendance OF the

ent visitors from neighboring comm
mites, among them being Lee Fruit,

made much better showing, as in
their zeal the locals made many fouls
