Llnlnger and son Bruce are busily engaged In repairing the can ning factory on Helman street and getting It ready for the coming sea son. Much of the factory is being virtually rebuilt. The process room Is having a solid concrete floor to take the place of the wooden one which makes conditions strictly sani tary, and a new roof covers the struc ture. The factory Is equipped with Improved modern machinery and ev erythlng will be In readiness for the sum merg's work. Indications point to an unusually good season In the canning business this year. Some fears have been en tertained that the frosts of the past week have done much damage to. the fruit in the valley, but accord ing to other seasons these fears may be allayed by the time fruit forms and It Is expected that there will bo quantities when the ripening season arrives. The local cannory expects to have the usual pack of fruit and vegetables, and the supply that can be obtained from local growers will regulate the business of the season. Explains Object of . 1 Visit to Portland "We expect to be coming back as long as the highway commission has any money left, or until we get what we want," explained E. V. Carter, Ashland banker, as to his presence In Portland. Between war drives, liberty loans and roads, It Is a won der Mr. Carter has had time to run a bank in the past year or two.
