full shifts canning the famous ('or

Yesterday only half a shift was pul
In as the clams brought to the can
nery were sufficient to keep the
force working full time. Today, how
ever, three more clam diggers are ai
work, and as there was a very low
tide, it is probable that a supply large
enough to keep the cannery in full
operation will be brought in, and
once started, it will be easy to keep

! MYSTERIOUS BREAKER
SIGHTED OFF TATOOSH.
SEATTLE, June 15. — Officers of
the United States coast and geodetic
survey left on the launch Manila to
day for the open sea at the entrance
; of the straits to Investigate the ap
i pearance of a mysterious breaker a
mile south by southwest of Tatoosh
i island, and in the path of coastwise
and transpacific vessels. The breaker
was reported by a Standard Oil tank
! or entering the straits. Speculation
j is rife as to the possible cause of the
breaker. Government charts show 22
fathoms of water at the point. The
possibility of underseas volcanic ac
tion causing a mountain to rise just
below the surface of the water is sug
gested. Others say it may be a water
logged derelict, or wreckage that has
j drifted and lodged there. Government
! officers said it might be caused by
meeting of cross currents.

account of the high taxes. Many will
