"Why Not?
The question of operating a cannin.
factory at The Dalles has from time t
time Deen aiscussea. it would seem'
that if a factory is profitable anywher
it should be made to pay handsomely
here. The Dalles is the central market
for a large area of fruit-producing coun
try arid it is well known that fruit suit
able for canning purposes can be ob
tained here cheaper than in Portland.
Outside of fruit, there is corn, tomatoes1
d the like to be considered. A gard
ener in an adjoining cuunty has given
out the following on the subject that
dovetails into this enterprise exactly:
A factory will employ from 100 to 150
people;" men; 'women and children, at
from 40c to 2.00 per day , and will use
from $100 to f 200 worth' of row material
per day. It is estimated that an acre of
ground, planted in tomatoes will yield
the producer from $40 to $180 per acre.
The factory will save during the season
$5,000 or $6,000 worth of fruit that would
otherwise bring the farmer little or
nothing. ..Two good men an-pick and
deliver 120 bushels of tomatoes per day.
An average crop per acre is 450 bushels,
which, at 20c per bushel is $90. Corn,
peas and fruit pay equally well com
pared with the amount of labor ex
pended. "The season between planting
and receiving the cash ' for " labor " ex
pended is comparatively short, being
only about three months. Every patron
is paid cash for his product as delivered.
Experience has proved that such a fac
tory properly conducted, of ordinary ca
pacity, is a lasting benefit to the town
arid community in which it is located.
Farmers and gardeners may ponder
these facts and profit by' them.
Winter at Falrvlew.
Faik View, Or., March 4th, 1893.
Editor Chronicle : We people living
in this upland country have had some
experience with a good-sized winter
And at present writing we have a good
chunk left. The 'snow' is all the way
from one to two feet deep, will average
about sixteen inches. Our first snow
fell hereon November sixth, and up to
the' present it has snowed thirty-three
days and rained, four with a total fall of
snow of ten feet, three incEes.: At pre
sent it has all the appearance of spring
and the snow is gqing slowly. We have
not had any wind to speak of, or the
snow would have been gone some time
ago. But it is .all for . the best, as the
ground is not frozen and'- Is" getting the
full benefit of all the moisture, and as it
freezes more or less every night if the
snow was all off it would be a great
damage to the winter wheat. " If we do
have a good crop this coming season it
will not be for the want of moisture. I
have lived up here eleven 1 years and I
have never seen a failure of crops. Vege
tables and fruit of all kinds do well on
this high land ; in fact better -than the
most of places on the lower lands and
creek bottoms, although',' the tempera
ture has been as low as ten degrees be
low. There is no fruit hurt, -not so much
as a bud. ''The attention of those look-i
ing for homes is called to take a look tip
here, as there is a chance for a few more
settlers who are not afraid to work and
make a home, and there are also a few
places for sale, cheap, - with moderate
improvemerits on them. As our major
domos have returned to their respective
homes, after their "reign of forty' days,

THE SCHOOL MEETING
T& Boards Rfijoii Eminently Satisfac-

THE EAST END SCHOOL H0CSE
S. B. Adams Re-elected Director, Des
pite His Protest and E. Jacob-
sen for Clerk.
The upper room of the brick school
house was filled with citizens this after'
noon at the meeting to elect a school
clerk and director, and to listen to the
report of the board. - 8. ' B. 'AdamS,
chairman of the board, made a verbal
report eminently satisfactory in all re
spects. He began1 by ' saying': "The
board have done all we could do, and
that is all there Is of it. We have not
only been able to pay off the note held
by Mr. French to the amount of $2,500,
but have reduced the indebtedness from
$7,000 to $1610.05. There have also been
unusual expenses; the fire of 1891 de
stroying' much school property.' '- We
have been under the necessity of taking
up' considerable piperranf f connecting
with :: the new- water mains,'--' cost
amounting; ta r$lQ7.05? ;We ha W re
placed all the trees -burned; or nearly so,
The committee have been" enabled to
make a 'rafe 'of ;7'peT-ceritV interest (a
very low rate)" on the' remaining- debt of
the district, 'amounting only to $1,600,
We believe that a three-mill tax levied
the' coming year will be amply sufficient
to pay all indebtedness for the year,
unless some unexpected indebtedness
occurs of which the committee now has
no knowledge, or a vote is made on some
additional indebtedness." -" ;-.
' Replying to the question of a new
school house in' the East End, Mr'.'
Adams said : "At the" last session noth
ing was done except to refer the matter
back to the committee. I have read the
law . in regard to this matter arid It ex
pressly states that the directors have no
power to act in the matter unless sanc
tioned by a vote at the meeting. They
must not only determine as to having a
school house, but "must say iust ho w
much money shall be expended! for same ;:
if you - are to build must say how much'
and levy a particular tax. I have heard
complaints that some of the children
could not attend school on account of
the distance, and to these I have said if
they would procure a list of - such chil
dren and raise enough funds to employ
a teacher, I would take it upon myBelf
to furnish a school house for them."
j Election of officers being announced
next in order, Ernest Jacobsen, I. I.
Btirget, A'.:jC. Sanford and J. ' N. Hunt
ington were placed in nomination for
clerki The vote resulted in the election
of Jacobsen, who received 41 votes.
For director Mr. S. B." Adams was
elected by a unanimous vote, and over
his own vigorous protest. A motion was
then put by Mr. Jack Elton that the
clerk be Instructed to call a epecial meet
ing for the purpose of levying a tax for
building a new school house for the East
End ; amended by Mr. Mays that the
meeting be called to consider the pro
priety of doing same. The amendment
carried but the motion was lost, '. ' -;
Amotion then prevailed "to levy a
3-mill tax to meet the expenses of the
coming year. " "
- Rnch- introduced resolution empow
ering the directors" to borrow money to
meet expenses of maintaining schools if
necessary. Adopted on. motion of
Bayard; ' ! v '; :'.-
On motion of Mays, decided to have
nine months' school for the coming year.
