Mitcoln mmfp Volume XIII. Toledo, Lincoln County, Oregon, Friday, April 21, 1905. Number 8 Lincoln County Wants. During t lie past few weeks The Leader bus received numerous inquir ies from cistern parties relative.to the resources, industries and business opportunities af Lincoln county. It is generally agreed that to the hrewd ami thorough business man wkh the necessary capital Lincoln county offers inducements worthy of thoughtful consideration. While the finest of nil kinds of ber ries and small fruits grow iu abundance, with not a failure on record, there is not a fruit cannery in Lincoln connty, Rnd the shelves of our groceries are Oiled with canned goods from Califor nia. Capital seeking investment might with profit investigate this Industry. No higher grade of wool or mohair is grown iu any other part of the state, vet Lincoln county has no woolen mill. A home market would soon add thou sands to the bands of sheep and goats which graze upou our hills, as well as thousands to the wealth of the county. This is the opinion of some of our loading citizens. No real good reason can be advanced why Lincoln county should be behind its neighbors in the creamery business. This is destined to become one of the great industries of the county, yet to day it is in its infancy -hardly sprouted, we might saw Here is certainly a chance lor a wide-awake man with cap ital. It is hardly to be doubted that better transportation facilities and better markets will materialize when energy and capital get busy and create a de tnuud for them. Ordinance No. 51.
