Canned Goods Stocks Are
Reported Nearly Depleted
j
Canned goods throughout the
northwest are practically cleaned
up, according to Robert C. Paulus,
who has returned from a business
trip to the Puget sound district.
The present! supply is lower for
the time of year than it has been
in several years. As a result of
the low stocks prices have ad
vanced.
Barreled raspberries and straw
berries, which appeared to be a
drug upon the market a compara
tively short time ago, are nearly
all gone and several more weeks
are expected to see the entire
stock cleaned up. England is
showing a decided preference for
the red raspberries and is ordering
all in sight. i

"I recognize the right of anyone
to appear before the board or be

the case of anyone confined in the
state penitentiary," Governor
Pierce writes.' I do not want any
prisoner to think that by giving
up the few hard-earned dollars he
may have, or extracting funds
from his relatives or friends to
pay an attorney, he has increased
his prospects of securing executive
clemency: Give the prisoners to
understand that in securing coun

their money 1 but perhaps their
chances for executive clemency as
well. !
