Afirr l oxlirn Visit Will Locale up in
Idaho hi Hairy Section
Fred Schomburtf and wife de
parted Sundey for a visit in the
Kmt. They will go to Iowa, via
Seattle, and from the state of
Alfred Cummings will go to Chi
cajro, where they will visit a
brother of Mr. Schomburg, and
other relatives, lhey expect to
remain several weeks, and will
then return to Nainpa. Idaho,
and remain in that section.
Nampa will also be an object
point on their Kastern trip.
Fred Schomburg's departure
recalls the many things he has
done for Washington County.
In the old days the dairymen
here worked without possibility
of future. There was nothing
but the Portland market for
their product. Schomhurg real
ized the possibilities in dairying
here, and was the first to start
the ball rolling for a condenser.
!1? built the first one started
here, at North I'lains. and by
intense effort started one in
IlillstKiro, It was not long until
the dairyman had a payroll, and
hi1 check came every month.
After putting the condenser on
its feet it was sold to the present
owners. Today, as a monument
of M. Schomburg's spirit, llills
boro boasts a quarter million
dollar condenser, and Ft rest
Crove has a plant that turns out
a bitr output.
Schombitrg has sold his home
here, but he still retains his
Mountaindale farm on which his
son. Chas., runs a dairy, lie
leaves his impress on the county-at-large
and the big wad of pay
checks going each month to milk
producers is a monument to hia
arrival in the Tualatin basin.
Fred is the soul of integrity, has
executive ability, and the Anrus
predicts that he is not yet too
old to do big: things in his new
location. Here s to you, bchom
bunr. and we will wager you will
furnish the "pep" for the ragout
wherever you go.
