The cannery proposition before the
Commercial club, whereby a Vancou

Is the most feasible one yet presented,

build It for an investment, but to sell
his machinery. Then, too, he bears
every cent of construction and main
tenance. As related before, he pro
poses to build a factory of -almost any
capacity up to $13,000, and after he
has It In working order, he sells It at
cost to local men. There Is no bonus
in connection, and no rake-off any
where; his profit being tri the sale of
the machinery required in the can
nery, and which is manufactured by
his concern. In nil probability the
Commercial club will give local fruit
men an opportunity of taking the
etock. A few of the wealthy fruit
raisers about the city 'of La Grjntfe,
could take the required stock which
necessarily need not be over $6000 or
$7000 and even less 'and in that
way keep all profits accruing from th
much-needed industry ai home.
Objections are sometimes raised
here that there are not enough varie
ties of products to make a cannery u
paying proposition. Some argue that
the apples are sufficient in quantity,
but that other (varieties are lacking.
Those nho ' have studied the matter
will say and, truthfully tap that
peas and beans can be raised profita
bly in this county. Once the cannery
is in working order, Union county'
farmers are progressive enough to de
vote a small area of land each year to

The Vancouver capitalist who wishes
to come here with his scheme, has
done it elsewhere. He builds, equips
