SMALL FRUIT

DOES NOT COST MUCH MONEY
TO BUILD AND EQUIP
CANNERY.

Most Expensive Part of Equipment

Increase County Pay
roll Materially.
J Portland Commercial club Is one of
jthe most active sub-organizations,
That several fruit canneries could, this state Is being extensively adver
be operated in Clackamas county w ith J Used throughout the East. It is
a profit is a self-evident fact, as thou- j through this agency that the army of
, , . , . , honieseekers are being induced to
sands of bushels of pears, apples. ' ,1W"' u
... turn their eyes towards Oregon. Some
prunes and other fruits go to waste. , b
.it " the tourists leave the train at Dotnts
annua y that could be saved in can- . 4 ' 1 F""s
neries and bring in remunerative re
turns. It is a mistaken idea held by
many people that it costs a large sum
of money to build and equip a fruit
cannery. Residents of many towns
advertise for capitalists to establish
a cannery, when they could build one
themselves with a small outlay of
money. It does not need a big barn
of a building to handle all the surplus
fruit of a neighborhood, nor is anl
expensive equipment required.
Over on Puget Sound when a man j
desires to Invest in a cannery he goes
ahead and builds it without making
any fuss about the matter. He estab
lishes the plant as a business invest
ment, and it brings in prompt and
sure returns. The most expensive
part of the equipment is a boiler and
engine. At Anacortes a creamery op- i
erator added a small cannery to the i
creamery, the same engine and I
boiler furnishing the required power
and hot water for both plants. It
was late in the season when the can
nery was built and started up many
of the earlier fruits being out of the
marhei. ine cans were oruerea irom councii mating held in December.
Portland and at the close of the year j 13o6 but di j not roach a gecond read
60,000 gallon cans of pie fruits had ing and fina, ras;!age untii Wednesday
been put up and sold. The greater ! n!ght u is entitled an ordinance pro
part of the product was apples, but jvIding for the ii,n3ng and regulat
other fruits were included in the list ing of billiard, pool and card rooms.
The entire cost of the plant did not und t0 preVent minors under the age
exceed a few hundred dollars, as the
engine that was used for the cream
ery was already in position.
Where creameries are operated in
Clackamas county the engines could
be used to operate canneries, and
thus give employment to a number of
people for several months in the year.
All the fruit that could not be market-
ed and now goes to waste, could be
saved and sold to the canneries. Can-
ned fruits are as staple as flour and
bacon and the demand for these pro-
ducts is especially good on this coast,
on account of the Alaska trade and
the immense number of logging
tamps.
The establishment of canneries in
this county would result in bringing
in thousands of dollars from what is
now almost a wanton waste.

BUILDING SEASON WILL
MEET EXPECTATIONS
HEAVY SNOW STORMS EAST.
Philadelphia, Pn., March II. A
heavy kTiow storm, which seems to
have centered along the New Jersey
coast and Eastern Pennsylvania, vis
ited this section yesterduy. Snow fell
continuously for 15 hours, to a depth
of seven inches. Reports from Atlan
tic City show that the fall of snow
there was nine Inches, with as great
a full at other coast colnts.
Throughout Pennsylvania tho storm
was almost as severe. At Pottsvlllo,
a fall of eight Inches Is reported, and
at l.ockhavcn there was a fall of ten
Inches. At Wllkcsharre, Scranton.
Allentown. Harrlsburg and other
points in tho eastern end of tho gtnto,
a similar fall Is reported, and tn many
sections the public roads are closed
to traffic.
The storm was accompanied by a
high wind, wlilch caused drifting and
tratlic on tho railways, particularly In
the mountainous sections, was re
tarded. TO HAVE ADDED FIRE
PROTECTION IN CITY
NEW ALARM SYSTEM MAY BE IN
STALLED SIMILAR TO
PORTLAND.
NEW HOSE COMPANY ASSURED
Important Gathering In Fountain Hoto
Company's Hall Held Last
Night Councilmen Logus
and Knapp Pretent.
That Oregon City will have an up-
to-date tire alarm system Is almost an
assured fact. The matter was under
discussion at the meeting of Fountain
Hose company held Inst night, and
met with much favor. The new fire
chief elect Lawrence Rucoiileh pre
setited the matter, an4 it was general
ly received with favor.
It was the regular meeting night of
Fountain Hose company, but many
members were present from other
companies, having accepted the Invi
tation to be on hand at the first meet
ing after Mr. Ruconicli was elected
chief. Refreshments were served, but
the most important business was the
presentation of tho proposed system
of fire alarm by Chief RuconJch.
Councilmen, Knapp and I)gus were
present a, the meeting and made
earnest pleas in behalf of the propos-
1 fire alarm system. The plan as
outlined Is to have a tower erected on
the blufl connected with various sta
tions in the city, and Immediately af
ter the alarm Is turned In firemen and
the citizens generally can determine
the exact location of the blaze without
waiting for the property to be des
troyed before the locality can be de
termined.
The plan, If It Is adopted will be
similar to that now in use In Portland,
and every transfer man or driver of
an express wagon will have the privi
lege of immediately bitching on the
nearest hose cart ami hauling it to the
scene of the fire. For this work the
owner of the team will receive due
compensation from the city.
It is believed that the city council
will see its way clear to Install a bet
ter system of fin-alarms that will
tend to materially basen the danger
from fires.
Chief Rucoiileh slates that he has
already secured 10 new members for
the new company that is to bo formed
In Green Point addition, and expects
that it will be organized next week.
After the business part of the meet
ing was disposed of at the hall of the
Fountain Hose company last night,
refreshments were served and a social
iceasion followed.

Although It Is Htlll early in ' sen

be a good season In Oregon City. The

tion of tho Masonic temple Is w-ell
under way and next Monday work will
begin on the foundation excavation of

solid and substantial and a credit to
the city. That contracts will soon bo

ings Is a certainty, and other new
utruclures will follow. A number of
new dwellings have been planned and
several are already under construc
tion on tho West Side. Homo time ago
V. A. White drew plans for an annex
to tho Star Press olllce, und tho con
tract has bevn let to Harry Jones,
Work Is now being pushed on the
new residence of Ir. L. L. Pickens and
John I.ewthwaite In West Oregon City
and both will be modern structures,
Cauemah Mill not fall behind this
season in the matter of new buildings,
uhlle Gladstone Is enjoying something
of a building ItMitii,
Marked Improvements are being
made In the vicinity of Meldrum Place
and Jennings I-odge, and many new
buildings, principally dwellings are
going up In that neighborhood, und
the ground Is being cleared for others.
Two large hot house plant and Moral
gardens are two new et.terprlses in
stalled there by Portland people, and
each of the plants will nave 'tic ca
pacity. In fact, Meldrum Place and
Jennings Idge bid fair to become
two popular residence suburbs con
venient to both Oregon City and Port
land. The demand for lumber and mate
rial will keep the local mills busy a
good portion of the time running on
home orders and the new mills that
have started up can get In on the
home market. It Is not believed that
the labor troubles in Portland will ma
terially interfere with getting mate
rial for building purposes here.
