IN GERMANY, July 12 (Correspond
ence of Associated Press).—Old ma
terial used by the Third army on
the Rhine is being disposed of in a
hurry. German civilians alone re
cently have been buying from twenty
five to forty carloads of salvaged ma
terial each day. Germans assemble

the auction sales are held, by the
hundreds, some coming from Cologne,
from Mayence, and others as far as
Frankfort-on-th-Main, Cassel and oth
er parts of unoccupied Germany.
At a recent sale in Coblenz with
a German-speaking doughboy as auc
tioneer, 125,000 leather jerkins were
sold to the Germans for 2,000,000
marks. (The recent army exchange
on marks is 2.50 marks for one franc).
The same day 30,000 raincoats, many
of them ving been used by Ameri
can soldiers during the war. were sold
for 250,000 marks.
The Germans eagerly buy anything
offered by the Americans, particularly
any articles containing leather or rub
gas masks were sold, a few days ago
to civilians who planned to make use
of the rubber for commercial pur
poses. More than one hundred tons
of harness, some of it German made

sale near Coblen.
Forty thousand pairs of American

doughboys from Luxembourg to the

Y-SCOH COMPANY
Due to the unprecedentedly light run of Pink and
Chum Salmon, the anticipated pack of these fish has not
been secured.
Under normal conditions the revenue from the pack of
salmon, as above stated, would have been ample to have
provided for the equipment and improvements that have
been placed in the cannery at Cordova.
1 he present stockholders have a firm belief in the prof
its to be derived from the canning of salmon, and have
therefore decided to offer to the public an interest in the
Company. A limited number of shares are now offered
for sale in Cordova if taken at once.
The Hillery-Scott Company is a going concern, and
the offer of stock will be limited to the necessary require
ments of the Company.
Additional and proven Salmon Fish Traps have been
secured, which, added to those now in operation by the
Company, should assure a fair and profitable pack, this
season, of Silver Salmon.
Owing to the fact that the cannery of the Company is
| not operated by contract labor, but secures its help lo
I- cally, as needed, the overhead expense is reduced to a
minimum.
\ our inspection of the cannery and equipment is in- j
vited.
Subscriptions will be received at the Cannery Office, j
| on City Dock, or at the office of Mr. Kelly Robinson, in
| the Ostrander Building.
