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.
