Cannery Business
Extensive for
Past Year
Prunes are practically tho only
kind of fruit held over by the
Cottage Grove cannery this year
according to Grant Tower, secre-
tary of tho association. There are
$2750.50 worth of these now on
hands and with $1000 worth of
cans left over from the fruit
season last year constitute practi-
eally all the material now on
hands at the plant. The blackber
ries, cherries, beans, and plums
canned during the summer are all
disposed of. There are still about
$30 worth of pears in stock which
are not sold.
Fruit was shipped from Cottage
Grove to England and many points
in the east and middle western
United States. Kansas City, Cleve
land, and other cities were pur
chasers of products from the can
nery here.
Blackberries, beans and prunes
were the principal articles handled
by the cannery. Thero were 2’°0
dozen No. 10 cans of blackberries
canned and over 1100 dozen No. 2
cans of beans taken care of.
Seven dozen No. 10 cans of rheu-
barb were handled and 550 dozen
No. 10 cans of prunes. Pears cannel
during the season amounted to 201
dozen No. 10 cans.
During tho year the cannery
purchased four car loads of cans
valued at »4,500. A total of 178,004
pounds of fruit and vegetables were
purchased from farmers and fruit
growers of the vicinity. The total
amount, paid out for this produce
was $6,594.76.
Prunes to the extent of 35,247
pounds were pooled. The black
berry pool consisted of 2286 pounds.
Most of the fruit has been paiil
for, the grower receiving the
vailing price for the fruit
getting anything which is left
when the pool is sold and
books are balanced up.

BOHEMIA MINE DISCOVERY
LEADS TO EXCITING EVENTS
There

many
interesting
angles in connection with the dis
covery of the Bohemia mine by
James (Bohemia) Johnson following
a quarrel over a poker game in
which he killed an Indian and
fled from Eugene in company with
another man who was also impli
cated in the affair. Some of the
incidents of the first discovery
were told the other day by G. G.
Warner, who for 30 years has been
connected with the development
of the Bohemia district.
Mr. Warner is now living in
Cottage Grove and has withdrawn
from the strenuous activity of
mining. He is now living alone
just north of the armory in tho
building where J. E. Howard print
ed the Bohemia Nugget 25 years
ago when the famous battle over
the title to tho Helena mining
was in its height in the courts.
According to the story of tho
discovery of Bohemia as told by
Mr. Warner the two obtained sup
plies after the killing of the
Indian and in an effort to escape
arrest took their camp outfit and
went up the middle fork of the
Willamette. Their first camp was
named Johnson’s meadow,
The first gold discovered in the
Bohemia district was found at the
base of Bohemia mountain by tho
two men near a spring by which
they had camped, It was found
about 300 feet east of what is
now the mouth of the tunnel of
the Musick mine.
Following the discovery the two

Flusher is Purchased
From Portland
A horse drawn flusher, to be
used in cleaning tho streets of the
city, has been purchased from
Portland by the city council. Some
time ago the council authorized
a bid of $125 for the purchase of
this machine which was to bo
sold at auction. Word has been
received here that the flusher was
purchased for that price.
Portland has recently installed
motor equipment for the street
cleaning work and consequently its
horse drawn vehicles were for sale.
It is understood that the flasher
purchased for the city is one
of the best in use there.
