THE BIG CANNERY MERGER
-
g. mere are powenui interests oemna tne ?iu,uw,uvu can-
ny merger of Oregon and Washington
! The Paulhamus interests are behind it.
1 1 The Puyallup & Sumner Fruit Growers Canning Com
ply, of which Hon. W. H. Paulhamus is president, and which
hi 9 already operated extensively in the Salem district in the
baying of fruits, and which has a cannery at Albany, actually
divered to its trade last year something like $4,300,000
wijrth of its products, and stilL holds signed orders from cus
, tdtoers covering several hundred thousand dollars' worth of
caiined goods, jams, jellies and preserves not yet delivered
l And, after paying all 1920 dividends, has a surplus left
, in Excess of f 200,000.
It is ft great concern, backed by practically all the small
f rit growers of western Washington and by the great bank
ing; and business interests of Seattle and Tacoma and the oth
er cities of the Puget Sound district
M All of them having, unbounded confidence in Mr. Paul
habius, as to both his absolute honesty and his great organ
izing ability. '
1 1 If the leading cannery interests of the two states get
together under the leadership of Mr. Paulhamus, which they
appear to be doing, a great deal of good will no doubt be ac
complished; with a sure sale of all the. fruit products of both
Oregon aria Washington, and with a marketing program that
wifl be bo comprehensive as to render the largest possible
stability, to pie whole fruit industry of the Pacific Northwest.
IRELAND AND THE
AH
8 U
i Protest has come from Australia and New Zealand
against : IJoyd George's statement, that the .Irish question
wild not be discussed at the coming imperial conference in
London. Their delegates have been instructed to bring the
matter forward, and like action by Canada is expected.
,'.! L While this is a question for the British empire to settle,
the dominions obviously stand in a very different relation
than the United States to the dispute between Great Britain
ari Ireland. If on the one hand it. seems desirable for this
cotfntry' to hold aloof from a controversy intervention in
widen would only make bad matters worse, it appears on the
otwer Jiand that the nations under the British ag are not
oniz entitled to a voice in a dispute which is harmful to the
cm oire as a whole, but able
13 They may not agree; at me ueneva meeung ox me as
senbly of the League of Nations the difference in the views of
delegates from Canada, Australia, and South Africa was of
t(fr striking.; But in this very multiplicity of points of iew
tfjre may be a great advantage for a fresh examination of
an issue which like the Irish question has settled into a dis
irijft deadlock. Americans will hope that, the British govern
'm$it may reconsider its refusal to allow this question to be
raised at the imperial conference; the lion's whelps may have
something of value to suggest

The Young Women's Christian

lege for brides. Candidates for
matrimony will be taught how to
stew water and shave a husband's
neck with a safety Tazor. Girls
will also learn how to go to mar
ket with a 4 bill and buy a din

the management of a husky male

dates back to the Ark." "Clean Up and Paint Up"

can of paint makes no appeal to this bum village, down
at heel ; the people think there is no sense in going to
so much expense; so things are always going down, and
getting worse in Shabbytown. It always gives my' soul
a thrill when I arrive in Glossyville. The town looks
like a blooming bride; the people take a hearty pride
in making things look clean and bright, and in their la
bors take delight. They're lavish with the helpful
paint, selecting colors chaste or quaint, and decorating
every shack; thus warding off decay's attack, and mak
ing all the buildings look like buildings read of in a
book. And strangers, when they see the town, say,
"Here we'll come and settle down, and raise us nineteen
kids apiece, and live and die as slick as grease." This'
happy burg goes right ahead, while Shabbytown is

Mr. Scott expressed pleasure at

The personnel or the Washing

of the standing of the concern.
These directors are as follows: 11.

targe Plan Announced.
The managers of the new com
pany resulting from the merger
propose to take over the great
selling organization of the Paul,
hamus organization, and to get
also the benefits of wide adver
tising that has been done.
They propose to put Oregon and
Washington berries back into the
pies of the country, from which
they have been more or less ab
sent, during the period of high
prices both of berries and sugar;
and during which time there has
been an extensive exploitation of
raisins for pie filling.
There are no ;rter pie berries
grown than loganberries, unless
evergreen blackberries toe excepted
for the tastes of seme people.
So it is proposed to carry the
message of Oregon's great pie
berries to the 300,000 grocery
stores of this country, and to tjie
110,000.000 consumers back of
the grocery stores.
Under the management of the
new company result ng from the
mercer there will be highly devel
oped organizations all along the
line, with a view to getting all the
fruits Into the bands of the con
sumers at the highest possible
prices to the growers, and at the
lowest possible prices to the great

cess is Predicted
Encouraging progress is being
made on irrigation projects in
southern Oregon, according to
Percy A. Cupper, state engineer.
Mr. Cupper and Frank C. Bram
well, as member of the state ir
rigation securities commission, re
turned yesterday from a tour of
inspection through the several
districts in that part of the state.
The two officials together in
spected the Grants Pass and the
Medford districts, and Mr. Cup
per also visited the Eagle Point
and the Talent districts.
"Construction work is in prog
ress on both the Grants Pass and
Medford districts." said Mr. Cup
per. "Work on the cultipie-arch
concrete dam across Rogue river
for the development of , power
and tho diversion of water for the
Grants Pass district has been
suspended until the high water
season has passed, and the water
falls to a stage where it will not
seriously interfere with the con
struction of this dam.
Steam Khovel at Work.
"However, the steam shovel is
being operated on the high line
canal on the north side. While
high water of last fall caused con
siderable damage and delay to the
Grants Pass district, the land
owners have met the situation in
excellent spirit. The brush lands
are being cleared, houses con
structed, orchards and strawberry
beds set out. Much' land has
changed hands recently at prices
considerably in excess of their
original appraised value. As the
appraisal was made some time
ago, when prices had not been
established by actual sales and
considerable land was omitted, a
re-appraisal has been determined
upon.
Obstacles Overcome.
"The outlook for the Grants
Pass district is very encu raging,
and notwithstanding the adverse
conditions which the project has
encountered. there teems no
doubt now that it will be brought
to a successful conclusion.
"The Medford irrigation dis
trict includes about 10,000 acres
surrounding the city of Medford.
The work is in progress on the
distribution system on the wrest
side. An effort is being made to
secure a delivery through the
waters of Dear creek to addition
al lands this season. The present
Pbonix lateral serves about 1700
acres.
"The Talent district Is In a po
sition to resume construction
work on its project of 8500 acres
upon the disposal of its bonds.
The first unit of this project has
been completed and work on the
other units were suspended last
year on account of the unfavor
able construction and financial
conditions.-
State Itet-fr-Mi Hnefit.
"The Eagle Point district is
engaged in completing its plant
for the reclamation of about 6.
000 acrB around Eagle Point. It
is proposed to divert the waters
of Dig Butte creek for the Irri
gation of these lands, and upon
the completion of the engineering
plans the same will! be submitted
to the state engine for approval.
"All these projects lie in the
Rogue River valley and their con
struction means much to the de
velopment of that section of the
state."
