Regardless of the outcome, of the national election, the outlook for Ea tacada and that community la a bright one for next year, as business la ul ment with the promise of increases and additlona for 1917, 'says the East ern Clackamas News. A resume of the growth, develop ment and future prospects of the R. ('. Demlng Packing Company, cominouty known as the Estacad cannery, la In dicative of prosperity. While this cannery may not repre sent a big business aa such businesses are considered elsewhere, it does rep resent one of Estacada's few Indus tries and at the present rata of ex pansion will soon become Its leading Industrial activity. This Industry's present success is almost entirely due to the efforts, hard work and faith of R. C. Demlng, Its president and manager, with the financial help of a few local business business ' men. During the six months of its ex istence and even under more or less adverse conditions, the cannery has done over $5,000 worth of business, with over $4,000 being expended In oiieration, including money paid for local labor, money paid to growers of fruits and vegetables and the purchas ing of cans and other necessities. During these six months this plant has canned, packed and sold over three carloads of fruits; amounting to over 6,000 gallons, comprising 14 tons of evergreen berries; 9 tons of logan berries and four tons of gooseberries, besides having dried and sold over 50 tons of prunes. These canned fruits have been sold to dealers in Kansas City, Chicago, Portland, Boise and elsewhere aud be ing lurgely packed under the canner's label, have and are acting as a stand ing advertisement for Estacada and its surrounding fruit growing industry. That the cannery's product is good and more than up to tho standard in evidenced by a number of testimonial letters received by Mr. Demlng, ami furthermore, these same dealers have placed repeat orders for 1917 delivery, which will overtax the capacity of the plant and at prices above the cur rent years. In fact, orders amounting to as much more have had to be re fused, owing to luck of the raw mar teriuls for canning. ' TO PAY FOR water from a deep well, and all water was pumped from tbe well Into a tank, a distance of about 325 feet. So much money was spent In keeping the pow erful pumps going, the department has not been paying for Itself. The city then acquired a- spring about three quarters of a mile from town nnd piped the water of the spring to a reservoir. From tbe reservoir tha water will be pumped to a large tank and the town will be supplied by gravity. This work has practically been completed, and $2500 In warrants were issued in order to pay for the Im provements. The Increase in levy will provide money to take up these warrants.
