Mr. Small Is very much Incensed at an item appearing In the Chronicle Jan. 2' about his refusal to give Mr. 11 mson a receipt for money paid him. Mr. Small says the receipt was given on Jan. 18. Mr. Hansen says the receipt re-ceipt was not given to him till after said Item was published, and there Is still some stuff uot delivered to him.

Forty years ago Mr. Gabriel Huntsman attempted to put In a canning plant, but the opttosation was too active and Influential. Since then several feeble attempts have been made. These likewise failed. Hut now the stock for an up-to-date plant has very nearly. If not entirely, been subscribed. Mr. Law. of the Hastings Industrial Company, In sompany with Hlshop Ilrunson, has been promoting the proplsitioti. Some of the first to subscribe are: Hlshop Peter L. Ilrunson, Ilrun-son, George Rowley, Wm. N. Mcllride, Ernest Carllng, u. R. Huntsman and others. Now the list Is swelled to nearly half a hundred names. Small subscriptions have in every cae been made, the largest being for live hundred hun-dred dollars, A meeting of the stockholders stock-holders was held Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock.

Not only fruit, but also corn, beans, peas and other products will be canned and exported. It Is no bluff this time. The slock Is subscribed in sufficient quantity, the contract to build the plant has been let, and work will commence com-mence within a month.

A large cash register was blown through the roof Into the middle of the street. Not a vestige of the bar was left. Had the affair hapined In Fillmore, the people would have at once susplcloned some good woman, whose husband was a frequent patron of the place. A new saloon is being built Just over the state line In Nevada, about half mile from Garrison. The Heikthom store In Garrison was lately robbed.
