NEW CANNERY PLAN TALKED Small Capital Needed, and Money All Stays Home, Sajs Promoter. Promotion of a novel, and apparent ly effective cannery system on the co operative basis is being effected here today by T. W. Wade of Springfield, Illinois. Placinr of many small can neries throughout the orchard dis trict, either ou rental basis or 10 cents for the dozen cans produced. or outright purchases, and forwarding the products to market through a cor poration of home people, capitalized at a very small figure, is the kernel of the scheme. Mr. Wade wants to meet the orchard men of Union county at a nearby date to discuss the mat ter more fully. Briefly stated the system gives home money all the profits. The small canneries, of which there might be four or five in May Park, the same number in Fruitdale, at Cove, Imbler and other sections, would be operated at the direction of a super intendent and at a very small cost to the grower, who would realize good profits. The marketing would all be done from corporation headquarters, say at La Grande, and the cost of la beling and furnishing the jars would be about the only outlay falling against that institution. Mr. Wade is talking the matter over with many fruitgrow ers today and all seem greatly Im press with the Idea as It is entirely co-operative, has no expense to the grower worth mentioning, and would give a -fine financial return to pro ducts otherwise going to waste with out cannery facilities. a-UHM-MIM '- it I ? ? . : V f 0 San Francisco, Cal., July 3: Train ed to the hour and ready for their bat ik which will be for the light weight championship of the world, Ad Wol gast of Milwaukee and Owen Moran, the English lightweight, await the call to the ring tomorrow afternoon. Large crowds visited the camps of the rival fighters today and came away with the opinion that both are in good physical trim for the bout. Judging from' the betting flavor around Stts Francisco, Wolgast will be the favorite by a big margin when he enters the ring. Nearly all the sporting writers concede the Mllwau- kee fighter the victory, but they are al so ready to admit that the little Brit isher has a chance. Moran Is bubbling over with confi dence, and his friends are backing him liberally at the prevailing odds. He has been training faitMi'T eyer since the articles were signed, first at Lake Tahoe and later at San Rafael, and if Governor J.
