The cannery I visited was M. J. Kenney's salmon factory, said to be the largest in the world. They em ploy 150 Chinamen and l; white men. Their capacity Is 02,000 one-pound cans per day. They employ 1j0 boats and two men to each boat, catching fish with large nets. These gill-nets are from fifteen to twenty-five hun dred feet long, which are floated In the water with corks to flout and lead to sink. There are nine of these can neries at Astoria and anumlH-rof oth ers along the river. I saw them tak ing the fish from vessels containing from six to ten tons into the factory. They used a pitch fork for this pur pose, having only one prong, which is gunk Into the head of the fish. I fol lowed the different processes of be heading, tailing, cleaning, Bllclng, cooking and canning from sturt to finish. They muko their own cans in the factory from sheet tin but here I must stop and tell you thut I got to Portland the next morning at 7 o'clock A. M., boarded the train thut after noon for Seattle where I arrived at 9:.'I0 o'clock P. M. was driven to a ho tel where I stayed until morning, found Walter at Woodward, about seven miles street car ride from Seattle proper, had a very pleasant visit with him Saturday and Sabbath. Saturday we took In the lumbering in dustry. (The mills were constructed on a little different plan from the thunder-gust mills on Back Hun.) It is wonderful how .they can chew up a log started in with the bark on, and in about half a minute it will be turned out cut Into lath, dimension stuff, and boards. Sabbath I went to the U. P. church in Seattle, went to dinner by a pressing invitation from Mr. Glascoe, a retired wealthy man, formerly from Washington, Iowa. He did not know Eddie, but was well acquainted with Andrew Kendall's family. Could not say too much iu their praise. I stay ed with them until evening, and at tended evening services. Monday morning I left Seattle for Tacoma. I spent the day here, and took a sail on Puget Souud. Left Tacoma for the East Monday evening at 8 o'clock, over the Northern Pacific. "Spent Wednesday in Butte Mont, where I found times good. Laboring men receiving from M.00 to Xl.00 per day. This is a great mining town, about three thousand mines within a radius of ten miles. Some of them are very extensive go down in the ground 1500 feet to 2,000 feet. The mineral is chiefly copper, some lead, gold and silver. They also have smelters for smelting the mineral, that give employment to thousands of men. While money is very plentiful and times very good, that is all the good I have to say of Butte, Mont. I think it is the most wicked city I ever saw In my life. By going up one street and down another, meeting, perhaps a thousuud people, I do not think there would be ten out of the thousand not carrying on their faces the signs of great dislapation. I could not help thinking about it, and how sorry I was for the unfortunutes. Satan seems to have planted In thut city every device that he has ever Invented as pitfalls for society. I left Butte at 9:30 Wednesday night, made close connections at Billings Mont., with the Burllngtonroud by which I reached Kansas City Friday evening as aforesaid. PlcuHitnt Sociul Function at HnrrionvilIc. On last Saturday evening Misses Winifred and Catharine Metzler, daughters of Mr. aud Mrs. George Metzler, entertained a number of their young friends at the hospitable home of their parents at Hurrisonvllle. The refreshments were superb, und the evening was spent in the enjoyment of music, games and mirthful past time, just such as a company of bright in telligent young people know how to devise. Among those present were Misses Laura Palmer, Ora Dixon,, Llnnu A. Deshong, Olive Grissiiiger,Nlnu Kirk, Hattie Betz, Kflle Mellott, Nelle Dan iels, Maggie Clevonger, and Messrs. E. N. Akers, Piper Barton, J. K. Iless- ler, Karl and Levi Morton, Harvey Strait, Duvld Struit, Frank Daniels, Howard Skipper, L.L. Truax, Howard Dixon, und Edwurd Clevenger. So delightful were the hours of the evening spent thut it was a genuine surprise to all when the clock, whose fape beamed wth sutisfuctlon as witnessed the innocent enjoyment of Hint light hearted happy youpg pon pitny, lioia up its hands, unii with us much gravity in its tones as olroum stances would permit, gave notice thut the hush of the holy Sabbath was due, und like good young people, they dl persed to their respective homes, car rylng with them recollections that will mark a bright spot In memory as long us life shall last. Last week William P. Unger of Ayr township was granted an increase pension from eight to ten dollars month. LETTER FROM TEDDE FIXSEN. It RcuulU n n InelJent of Ills RuhU Uencc Here. All our older folks remember Feddo Flxsen, and all remember him as a royal good dutchmun. He owned the farm just east of town now belonging to the Dr. Trout heirs. Ho sold out here about twenty-eight years ago and moved to Inland, Nebruska, where he is still living und prosperous. From a letter received irom mm a lew uu.vs ago by James 1. Nelson of the Cove, we are permitted to publish a few Items. Mr. Flxsen says: "We have had a very changeable winter one or two days warm, then couple of dayB cold, tho mercury dropping from 10 to 15 degrees below zero. It is a wonder we ure not all dead very little snow, and no rain until to-day, and not much now. For the lust few days the farmers huve been working in the Held s some sow ingsome cultivating, others cutting cornstalks. I have mude some garden for eurly use, aud would huve plunted some eurly potatoes if it had not be gun to rain. The woman thut lives on my old place came near burning herself to deuth the other duy. They hud been butchering, und she wus frying out the lurd out doors In a large kettle; und, somehow, her clothes caught lire. She started to run, but the wind only mude her clothes burn worse; und, hud it not been for a man who was boarding with them coming to the rescue, she would no doubt have been burned to death. Her husband hud gone up to town after some crocks. "Now,.Iumes,lf you accidentally run across some of those old acquaintanc es of mine, give them my love and tell them I celebruted my "4th birthduy lust Sunday (March 18) and thut I feel like u young man." Will Sloan tells an incident thut Mr. Fixsen doubtless hus not forgot ten. After harvest was over, In. the sum mer of 1871, Will's parents Mr. and Mrs. John M. Sloun, and Mr. and Mrs. Fixsen, took a trip west Mr. and Mrs. Fixsen with a view to looking up a westera home. Will Sloun with his father and mother and Mrs. Fixsen in a two-horse curriuge, and Hob Kerr with Mr. Fixsen and the trunks in a spring wugon, started from Me- Conuellsburg one morning for tho nearest railway station, which wus then at Chambersburg. Feilde hud hauled his wheat to Loudon und sold it to Mr. Frieze, the miller, leaving the money In Mr. Frieze's hunds, until it should be needed. While Will and his party drove on, Fedde und Bob stopped ut Frieze's to get some spending money for the trip. When almost to the toll-gate at this end of Chambersburg Fedde and Bob came up in great shape and drove around the carriage presumably thut Mr. Flxsen would huve an opportuni ty to pay the toll. The morning wus pleasant, the party were all in best of humor, and the trip thus far had been delightful; but now a change came. When Fedde came to pay the toll a 'tor searching frantical lyhe threw up his hands and ex claimed, "I've lost my money!" And so It proved. Mr. Frieze had paid him $1:100 it was all gone. Bob and Mr. Flxsen sturted buck und Will and his folks wont on to Chamtersburg. While in the dining room ut the hotel at dinner and It might be udded just here that poor Mrs. Flxsun's appetite had forsaken her, Feddlo and Bob rushed in exclaiming "We've got the money." Mr. Frieze had paid Mr. Flxsen the money at his residence. Mr. Flxsen hud placed the money In his pocket book, and thoughtlessly went away leaving the pockotbook und money ly ing on the table, where It wus found when Mr. Flxsen and Bob went buck no one having gone into the room during Mr. Flxsen's absence. The more than twenty-eight years since thut occurrence hus wrought muny chunges Will Sloun and Fedde being the only members of thut party now living. A PLEASANT SI RPRISE. HOUSE BURNED. On Wednesday ufternoon the 28th ult., the dwelling of George C.Golnger, of Buck Valley, was totally destroyed by lire, which originated in the garret from a flue. Every effort was made to save the property from destruction; but when discovered, the lire hud mude such headway as to be beyond control. Attention was directed toward the household goods, and most of the fur niture on the llrst floor wa,s. paved., There was some tusMrance but we am pot Informed ft to thw amount, Mr. Gelnger seems to be especially unfortunate in this direction, as this Is the third time in bis housekeeping experience of a little more thun a quarter of a century that his dwelling has been burnod; and this Is the fourth time that this house has been afire. Last Monday our venerable friend Adam O. Grlss!nger,of Tod township, was seventy-four years of nge. We do not know just what he was thinking about it; but we have no doubt as his eyes beheld the light of that day, thut a silent prayer of thankfulness went up to God that his life hud been pre cious iu His sight. We do know, however, that his de voted sons aud daughters hud been quietly planning for some time to give their father a pleasant surprise, und to enjoy together 1 not her reunion by the old llreslde. Accordingly, on Monday evening a string of buggies went driving up to the old homestead, und out stepped Daniel und his wife KUa Dively, Kate und her husband - M.M. Bender, Jane and her husband David Hot., Belle und her husband John I'. t on rail, William und his wife -Jennie Hoke, Itebecca und her husband -John Ott, Ada and her husband William Karris, Matilda and her husband John B. Booth -all residing In this community except Mr. und Mrs.Kurns, who live in Everett. While It wus a genuine surprise, our old friend wus quite delighted to huve his children all at home together again, und a very pleasant evening wus spent. As no purty would be entirely a suc cess without some eating iu it, the im promptu visitors hud brought nlong an abunduuee of oysters, cold turkey, chicken salad, Ice cream, etc., and ull enjoyed such u lay out as will make the sixty grand children ai d the three or four great grandchildren regret all their lives that they hud not been in it too. A PENNSYLVANIA ARCADIA. STARTED ON A LONG JOURNEY. On Tuesday morning Miss Maud Cooper, accompanied by her younger sisters, Lena, Olive, und Marguret, sturted for their home, In Cluy Centre, Kansas. They are the daughters of Ex-sheriff Samuel Cooper, u son of the late Hon. J aim s Cooper, who left hero and settled iu Cluy Centre about a score of yeurs ugo. Prior to going west he was married to Miss Lenu Pittmun, of Thompson township, who died shortly after the birth of Marga ret. Mrs. S. J. Cooper, their grand mother, on heuring tho sad intelli gence, immediately left for Cluy Cen tre, Kansas, and took charge of tho homo of tho grief-stricken family; und when the baby wus vigorous enough to truvel, brought the four children to her home in this p'uee. Sho has for five or six yeurs, given them her wutchful cure and a conscientious training; und hus now the proud satisfaction of see ing a group of girls depart for their home thut uro models of deportment and intelligence, und whose pleasant and agreeable manners have endeared them to their many acquaintances, who were extremely sorry to bid them farewell. ADAM II ESS. Another of Belfust township's nged und most highly respected citizens, was, during the past week, culled by our Heavenly Father to quit his tene ment of clay, and go to his eternal home there to join loved ones gone before, He hud been In poor health for several yeurs; but about three weeks ago, be mude a trip to Hun ooek, und In some wuy took cold,which developed into a severe uttuck of lu grlppe and heart trouble. Both Dr. Swurtzwelder und Dr. McKlbbin gave all the professional uld possible, but the time hud come when loving hands could not keep him here, und at live o'clock last Suuduy morning, April 1, 1900 his spirit peueofulty pussed uwuy ut the age of about seventy yeurs. Mr. Hess wus u member of the Chris tian church for muny years alwuys a true und devoted worker. Ho was married twice his last wife, u sister of tho lute Mrs. Burtimeus Smith still survives him. Ho ulso leaves four children, Mrs. Will Hice.of Buck Vulley, Loguo and Frunk who live ut home, und Miss Funny who hus been living In Philadelphia for some time; he is also survived by one sister,Mrs. Marlon Mellott, his only brother buy ing died lust July. Ills interment took place ut Cedar Grove cemetery, where a large number of friends und rela tives were present to pay their last re spects to the depurted. "THOMPSON. Martin V. Kline, son of Mr. and Mrs. Uriah . Kline, of Licking Creek township, who went to Ohio a few weeks ugo writes us thut he likes his new henna, very much. Mr. aud Mrs. Jolm Fishor.Mr. aud Mrs. l'liilip (lordou, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Goi'dun spent last Sunday ivt Mqhos. Gordon's, Mr, Hhoda and Mrs. Kphraim Gregory vlsltod Mzzio Pittman last Saturday. Mrs. J. V. K. FUhor.of Bruus. wick, Md., spout last Saturday and Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. P. P. Shivos. Mr. and Mrs. Dontou Peck spent last Sunday at the "Simp son House." Kev. Hughes will preach at Mount Zion next Sunday after noon at three o'clock. Sunday school at two o'clock. Under the above caption, the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette devoted some space hist Friday to our county-. Our friend Geo. M. Eitemillor noticed the article and sent us a copy of tho paper. While George has been a promi nent resident of the Iron City for a number of years, yet he still feels that there is no spot on this green earth whose associations are more tender than McCou uellsburg, the home of his pa rents and the place of his nativ ity. Hence, if you want to waken him up in about a second, you have only to speak disparagingly of his old homo or his associates; and, on the other hand, uo one is more ready to appreciate any thing complimentary along the same line. Here is the article: "A few weeks ago some stu dents of social aud economic conditions made the statement that tho mountaineers of the United States were pretty much all alike, and put the trouble breeders of eastern Kentucky, the moonshiners of Tennessee and the "crackers" of the Caroli uas in the same category with the sturdy mountaineers of Pennsyl vania. It was a libel, of course, and as if to refute it, Little Ful ton, which seldom makes much uoise in the world, comes forward with tlie evidence that its moun taineers are made of sterner stuff. Montani semper libori ought to be their motto, and doubtless would bo, if it had not been usurped by another set of moun tain men, for no Fultouian is iu jail or likely to get there at pros out. One of the smallest of tho (17 geographical divisions of Pennsylvania, both iu area aud iu populatiou, Fultou county has no railroads and few industries save the ancient aud important oue of agriculture. "To paraphraseArtemus"vVard, its inhabitants are not politicians aud their other habits are good. Half of them perhaps never saw a bigger town than their own county seat, a village which, after a century and a half of growth, still finds three figures ample for reckouiug its p)pulatiou. Some of its citizens used to bewail their seclusion, and years ago eucour aged a movement to tunnel their mountains to let them through to the great world beyoud. Had the project succeeded, Fultou's indi viduality would have disappeared aud tho proud record just achiev ed would havo been impossible. As compensation f r their disap pointment, they can uow point to an empty jail aud a court of quar ter sessions without a case on its docket. Far from the madden ing crowd's ignoblo strife, they have uo strife of their owu, aud are evidently too busy to think of such things. They may not bo aware of it, but huge sections of the big world will envy them their seclusion and the ideal couditious accompanying it." lly a somewhat singular coin cidence, J. S. Eitemiller, of Mc Kcesport, brother of George M. Eitemiller, of Pittsburg, sends us the following clipping from last Friday's Morning Herald of McKeesport. The papers out iu the western part of the State will keep on until they so fully acquaint the vulgar public with the condition of our secludod Eden, that tho people from the outside world will be falling over each other to gain a residence in this favored county of ours. Hero follows tho McKeesport ar ticle 'Fultou county, Pennsylvania, has. leaped into famo iu a single day, han court was called for Fulton county last Tuesday, it was compelled to adjourn for want of business. There were no cases on tho docket, no pris oners in tho county jail, and. uo informations to be mado before 1 the grand jury. j "Fultou county is tho only coun , ty in tho State without a railroad Whothcr this fact and tho oue , preceding are connected in some i way is not known. Tho only ob jection Fulton county farmers have been known to file against a railroad recently pressed for their county was,that the smoke from the locomotives would soil the wool on their sheep. "What a sweet backwoods country Fulton county must be! Just imagine the brain-weary city man, worn with tho trials and troubles of business, gettiug out in the wilds of Fulton couuty. No roar aud rattle of city streets, noclaugiuggongsof traction cars, not even tho far-away sound of a locomotive whistlo to disturb his rest. Good luck to Fulton couu ty! Long may it be before her jail shall be inhabited by crimi nals. Loug may it be before law yers will find rich pickings iu her county courts. Loug may it bo before her rest shall bo dis turbed by tho shriek of the loco motive whistle and the wool on her sheep be soiled by its smut. She may be a little behind the date, but there is uo other couu ty iu the State cau point to as proud a court record as Fulton presents this week." ELIA GORDON KM IVES. At her late home ou Licking Creek, just below the iron bridge at Gregory's fording in Thomp son township, on last Friday, the subject of this notice, wife of Mr. Andrew Shivos, died at tho age of about 78 years. For several months last sum mer Mrs. Shives had been in very poor health, but during the win ter she had improved so much that she was able again to atteud to many of her household duties. About a week before her death she had an attack of Grippe from which sho was not able to rally. Mrs. Shives belonged to oue of the oldest and most highly res pected families iu that section of tho couuty, was an excellent neighbor, and for many years had lived an exemplary christian life, beinga member of the New School Baptist church. In addition to her husband, who we are sorry to state is in poor health, she leaves three daughters, namely, Susau wife of Jared Pittman, Rachel wife of B. F. Shives, and Rebecca wife of 'George Evans; also, five brothers aud two sisters, namely, Peter, William, Henry, David, and Job Gordon, aud Susan Bishop aud Rachel Kershnor, all living iu this couuty except the last who live iu Ohio. Her funeral, the largest iu that neighborhood for many years, took place on Sunday last and was conducted by Rev. Lewis Chambers.. Interment was made in tho Old Union Graveyard near Georgo M. Winters's iu Thomp son township. SIDELING HILL. Miss Ora Lay ton, wo are glad to note, is again able for school. Job Garland was iu Hancock, Mouday. Our school is in progress again.
