CANNERY AT E5TACADA
IS
ONLY LACK OF RAW MATERIAL.
LIMITS VOLUME OF BUSINESS
FOR NEW INDUSTRY.
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.
