than ever that the cannery can be

CANNERY IS TO
ENLARGE PLANT
Company Plans to Handle Berries and
Other Soft Fruits Besides
Tomatoes.

An enlarged plant. capable of TAX
ing care of the strawberries and other
soft fruits grown here next summer
= as we'll as the tomatoes, Is the plan OF
the Oroville Canning company. An
nonncement to this effect was made
following the election of officers last
week.
This means that considerable new
machinery will be purchased and in
stalled before the canning season be-
gins in order that the berries may be
handled as they come on. The cannery
was equipped originally for handling
tomatoes exclusively. but the company
recognizes the necessity of making
provision to care for the increased
production of other products. Someth-
ing over fifty acres of stra wberries.

this vicinity next summer and without
euuipment to handle part of this
growers would be facing probable
loss.

dent; c. M. Zediker. secretary. These
are also members of the board OF
trustees, the other trustees being Del,

At this meeting Frank Frasier, who
has managed the cannery since its
establishment, resigned. Mr. Frasier
has had charge of the plant through
the difficulb period of its establish

MINNESOTA HIGHWAYS
in GENERAL ARE GOOD
Bulletin Shows Conditions Are
Practically the Same Now
a. Last August

St. Paul, May S-Minncsota trunk
highways-the SO called Babcock
roads-are generally in as good con-
dition now as last August, according
to a bulletin issued by the state
highway Department. The bulletin
publication is being resumed to con-
tinue through the heavy traffic sea-
son. 1t is based on reports from SUI
perintendents in sixteen maintenance
districts covering the entire state and
Is circulated as showing highway con-
ditions accurately.
The present showing results,
highway officials said, from the fact
that patrolmen and other mainten-
ance forces were on the trunk routes
early to open bitches and drag the
roads smooth. Continued improve
ment is expected, notably in some
districts where weather conditions
retarded operations, they added, but
conditions generally compare favor
ably with those Of last August when
forces were fighting to keep up the
roads under the grind of heavy traf-
fic.
A few sections Of gravel-surfacing
have yet to pack, but otherwise
stretches improved last year are class
ed as good.

SEEKING CONTINUANCE
OF FLOOD DAMAGE SUIT
(By United PreSs)

Bismarck, N. D., May 8-Continu-
ance Of the taking of further testi-
,mony in the Minnesota-North Dakota
flood damage suit will be asked to-
day because of the fact that Min
'nesota engineers have not yet COM
pleted their plans for control of the
food waters at Lake Traverse.
The supreme court had set May 8
as the date for taking Of testimony
in St. Paul. The continuance will be
asked until the first of the first week
in June.
North Dakota engineers have COM
pleted their plans which agree with
those of federal engineers except as
to location of the dam on which they
differ distance of about 3 n miles.
According to the federal report
and that filed by State Flood Engi-
neer Hard, a huge dam at the outlet
of Lake Traverse would solve the
problem. This dam would impound
IA billion cubic, feet of water. The
works would consist of a dam sixteen
feet high and 2A miles long; a large
ditch or canal to give the Boise de
Sioux a definite channel; and barrier
dam at south end Of Lake Traverse.
Federal estimates made when con-
struction, costs were at the highest
were $1,4OO,OO0 for this project. Mr..
Hard believes it would be construc-
ted for two-thirds of that amount.

Four Women Given Immediate
: Pardon by Governor When
Condition Il Learned
(By United Press)

Chicago, May 8-Terrorising tac-
tics by hardened criminals in the
Cook county Jail were squelched to-
day when Warden Wesley West
brook aided by guards, whipped the
rioters. The men were taken from
their cells individually and flogred
with canes until they cried for mercy.
! The men beat on the bars with
their handouts, broke furniture and
set fire to their mattresses. The out
break was in protest against curtail-
ment of visiting days from two to
one. The uproar could be heard for
five blocks from the Jail and attract
ed large crowds. Finally Warden
Westbrook was sent for. He arrived
at the prison with half dozen
guards. Come on you big bum. we
will eat you alive" cried one Of the
rioters.
The jailer opened the cell door
and fought it out with the rioter,
who had piece of iron which he
had broken from his bed. Westbrook
carried a blackjack. When Westbrook
emerged from the cell his blackjack
was broken in three pieces and the
prisoner was unconscious. Then ono
by one the prisoners were taken from,
their cells and whipped. V"
"T beat these men and l want the
public to know it," Westbrook ssid.

discipline, but to pevent them from
setting fire to the Jail and destroy
ing public property. My action was
the only resource l had"
Four riots of less severity oc.

condition of the women, issued m

FRANCE WILL ATTEMPT p.
>T0PUT TIDE 10 WORK
Bill Introduced in Chamber of
Deputies to F nance a
Practical Test
BY John O'Brien


Omitted Press Stan Correspondent
Paris, May 8-Harnessing the tides
often attempted and as often reject
ed as an impractical dream, has in
terested the French government to
such an extent that bill has been
introduced in the chamber Of depu-
ties with the approval of the minis
ter Of finance and the minister of
public works asking for an ap-
preparation to permit practical
test.
The bill was introduced following
a study of two years by a committee
of the ministry of public works Of
a project presented by French
company. The experiment is to be
made in an estuary near Brest. where
the tide runs high and the resulting
electric power is to be used by the
public service corporations and the
naval arsenal of that port. The total
cost of the installation is estimated
at 2s,36O,OO0 francs, or about $2,-
100000 at the present exchange
rate.
Both the flood and the ebb tides
are to be turned to account to drive
four turbines built into a dam about
500 feet long across the estuary. The
turbines will have variable speeds
and will furnish from Is to 1900
horse power, transformed by two
accumulators into an electric current
of 1900 volts. The dam will enclose
a reservoir containing 100000 to
35,OO0,0OO cubic feet of water ac-
cording to the movement of the tide.
In connection with this reservoir of
sea water will be similar one con-
tanning 1OO,OOO,OOO cubic feet of
fresh water provided with a runway
varying from Is to 80 feet in height.
running in a series of turbines of
5000 to 1000 H. P. This second res
ervoir is intended to regularize the
naturally variable out put of power
of the other 1t will be provided with
two electric accumulators of 1900
H. P. each. Two pumps of 1900 II.
P. each will be used to draw up the
water at the ebb tide. The two res
ervoirs are expected to produce u
maximum of 5000 H. P. and mini
mum of 600 H. p. The annual pro-
duction of electric power is estimated
at 100000 kilowatt hours, cor
responding to 1880 tons Of coal.

Land Owners and Dealers Are
Asked to List Suitable
Sites Near Bemidji
ENCOURAGING LETTERS
ARE BEING RECEIVED
Sites Will Be Inspected and
Referred to National
Committee on Site

The Yeoman Children's Home is
creating considerable interest and
that interest in Minnesota is being
directed chiefly toward Bemidji, the
first city in the state, which has ex-
tended an invitation to, the commit
tee to consider this Northern Min
nesota metropolis.
The question now arises: "What
has Bemidji to offer by way Of a
suitable site?"
The requirements for a, site are
not fixed, but it is understood that
the home will require from 500 to
1900 acres. If tract Of 500 acres
could be secured, so that the added
land adjoining might be purchased
this it is believed, would answer the
purpose.
Land owners and real estate men,
who have suitable sites to offer, price
is no object are invited to list same
with The Pioneer and these will be
turned over to the site committee
of the local lodge which will inspect
same and refer these properties to
the national committee for consider
alton.
A. D. Johnson, foreman Of the
local lodge is receiving number of
most encouraging letters a.ss;;nm high
officials of the order, ASSURING him
that everything possible would be
done in considering the application
Of Bemidji.
The next move to be made on the
part Of this city is to submit suitable
property sites.l There are plenty of
them in this section of the state, with
lakes, brooks, meadows, timber and
the finest agricultural lands to be
found anywhere in the country.
Bemidji is considered one of the
greatest health resorts in the United
States and this fact will be one which
the committee will give serious con-
sideration. Statistics are being prepar-
ed, along this line and will also be
available for the committees con-
sideration.
