PARROT A LIVELY PASSENGER
Offended at Restriction OF Its Liberty,
Bird RetaIiated With Trick That
Irritated Sailors.

Jack O'Brien, a big green parrot,
was one of a consignment Of 100 birds
on the Booth liner Justin during a
trip from Manaos, Brazil, 1000 miles
up the Amazon, which ended at this
port yesterday, says the New York
World. Jack was made pet by
those on board, and he accumulated
whole bagful Of tricks. One day
when the vessel had headed north
from Barbados, her last port of call,
Jack took offense because one of the
officers shooed him out of his room
when the bird interfered with the max
ing out of a report.
For a day Jack brooded, spending
his time with the chief engineer.
Early the next morning the parrot
went to the cages of the other birds
and liberated at least score of them.
This caused CONSERVATION among the
negroes of the crew, for parrots kept
popping out at them from dark places
and screeching in their ears when not
expected. Finally all the birds were
recaptured.
The officers were responsible for the
story that Jack at IL As o'clock every
night, when the watch was changed,
would mount the bridge and shout
out: "Change watch!"

CANNING PLANT
NOW OPERATING

With all available storage space
filled with apples from the bayfield,
Peninsula orchards, and employing
a crew of seventeen girls and women
and six men the plant of the Bay
field Canning Company is now opera
ting every day and canned apples.
the product of the famous Peninsula
f.uit district and the canning plant,
will soon be on the market. Man.
ager Bigler anticipates increasing
the output next week with the addi--
ton of another ten or fifteen en-
ployees.
A visit to the plant is interesting,
as we'll as educational. Entering the
sorting room one sees apples OF ev-
cry description prepared for dumping
into boxes from which they run thru
passages i nthe wall into peeling
boxes. From these boxes, the apples
are picked up by young lady oper-
aing peeling machine and are plac
ed on spindles which at regular IN
tervals turn from the front to the
rear of the machine where the whril
ing knife of the peeler does its work
in a most thorough manner. The
apples, after peeling, fall into other
boxes from which they are taken in
regular chopping bowls by young
women who quarter them. They
are then placed in a large, vat in
water maintained at heat of about
I2O degrees and all air is forced out
of them. After this treatment they
are put into cans which are then
run through the sealing machine and
from here the cans of apples are
placed in large cooking watts and
cooked in the cans at temperature
of about 900 degrees. Following the
cooking the cans are cooled in a large
retort, then sent up into the shipping
room where they are labeled and
packed for shipment.
In one room a large cider press is
operated where the apples not, suited
for canning purposes are utilized for
the production of cider and vinegar.
Thousands of bushels of apples
will be utilized this fall and Manager
Bigler anticipates a continuous run
with apples covering period OF
several weeks. The entire output
has already been sold to wholesalers.
The plant is ideal in every respect
the main large w ork room being
finished off in white, the machinery
is all electrically driven and every
convenience for rapid output has
been installed Employees in the
main work room are dressed in white
and wear white caps, which touches
off the general effect quite striking
ly.
The plant is a splendid addition to
the industrial life of Bayfield, and
that it will rapidly increase in I'M
portance is practical certainty.

Greed Brought About Flsh's Death.

While walking along the north shore
of Horse lake, British Columbia, read
er found two dead fish under curious
circumstances, ling about three feet
long and sucker about Is inches
long. The ling had tried to swallow
the sucker, head foremost, but the
body of the latter was too thick for
his throat and the stiff fin on the back
OF the sucker, acting like the barb of
fish-hook, made 1t impossible for
the ling to free himself.
