ter, last week sorted the canned fish and pre
pared for the various shipments. The fish was
sent by Indians from Toppenish, The Dalles, Celi-
lo, and other distant points to be canned in our can
nery. The school furnished all the equipment
necessary for canning a n d by agreement with
the Indians retained half of all fish canned.
The cans were packed in cardboard boxes, 37

the boxes, completing the preparation for ship
ment. The ratios on these different shipments
ranged from 40 one lb. cans to over 400 cans.

from that part of the country where fishing is a
booming industry.
