One of the Most Prominent Dairy men in Umatilla County. Will Re tire From tne Business on Account of Long Distance to Markets—Mc Reynolds’ Butter Well Known in Pendleton Markets. It is announced ihat Charles Me Reynolds, the I’kiah butter maker, intends to go out of the business as soon as he can dispose profitably of his butter making plant. • Mr M< Reynolds has made butter on his place several miles beyond Ukiah for from eight to 10 years, but on account of the distance front Pen dleto*. Ma bea market he find*.th«1 margin of profit decreasing to the vanishing point since competition has been established by nearer points. This effect is not surprising—in fait it was nievilab.e as Mr McRey nolds’ place is 52 miles from here. Of late, he had had an increasing mark, i in the Sumpter district, but still the handicap of distance from the railroad, and difficulties of com munication are too great to be over come and leave suoicient margin to continue in the business in competi tion with butter makers nearer the railroad. The eacelivnce of the McReynolds butter is a proverb, and is largely due. outside of the great skill always used in its manufacture, to the fact that his range is entirely destitute of all noxious weeds, such as grow in more or less profusion at lower alti tudes nearer the river. This is a con dition greatly in his favor in the spring. For years the daily output of Mr McReynolds' plant has been about 4«' rolls. The suspension of the butter mak ing plants in the Ukiah district, will induce the creamery concerns looking over the Pendleton field to establish a large creamery here. NELSON GETS CONTRACT.
