WHY NOT HAVE ONE?
And Use Our Surplus Fruit A
Business Proposition.
"If Corvallis would establish a
car nery so that the surplus fruit
of this section could be saved in
stead of going to waste, it would
be the greatest boom that .this
vicinity could possibly be given."
This in substance was the
statement of a promiaent busi
ness man of this city, made a
few days ago when discussing
conditions, and it voices the
opinion of many a resident of
Corvallis.
A cannery where the farmers
could sell for a fair price their
pears, peaches, peas, beans, corn,
tomatoes and any other product
that is used for canning purposes,
a cannery where forty, fifty or
even seventy-five persons could
secure employment, thus estab
lishing a pay roll that in turn
would benefit every class of busi
ness in Corvallis such an es
tablishment would do more to
start this city to growing in a
thrifty business way than would
any other one industry.
This business man cited in
stances in which canneries had
been established in a town by
the business men themselves,
who took shares and got the en
terprise in runnicg order. ' All
around, within a reasonable
radius of Corvallis, are logging
camps where canned supplies are
constantly in demand by the
- case. Why not meet this de
mand with the canned products
of our own orchards and gardens?
Why not keep this money at
home and pay it back to our own
people, who in torn would in
f vest it in local' shops, mills and
stores?
In other places canneries do a
flourishing business, while each
year fruit rots by the bushel in
Benton county orchards,' and
acres upon acres of splendid land
that would produce the choicest
garden stuff in great quantities is
t sawn to wheat and oats year in
and vear out, with scarcely
enough profit to the farmer to
'pay for seed and labor.
With a cannery here and a
generous monthly pay roll estab
lished in connection therewith,
DroDertv would be enhanced in
in value by reason of an increas
ed demand, for where there is
boom there is population. Rent
houses would be in greater de
mand, and more moneyjwould be
Dut into circulation, the 'grocer,
butcher, tailor, dairyman, cream-
ervrnan. merchant and miller
j r
each sharing iu the benefits.
And best and greatest of all,
one such industry once firmly
established and in thrifty condi
tion would attract others, and in
Ucie CoryaUis could boast of fac
tories arid other enterprises such
as keep other towns in a prosper
ous condition and from lack of
which this city is dubbed by the
outsiders "too slow and old fash
ioned. "
With all her. nihirat advan-

The fruit section is all about

looking for something "new" in
which to engage to make the

e whirh have ventured are

present season.
The committee members in
charge of arrangements were
Miss Sadie Dixon, chairman,
Miss Pauline Kline, Miss Grace
Huff, Miss Edna Allen, , A. J.
Johnson and Iee Henkle, and
thev certainlv demonstated tneir
ability to plan a good time.
The program included a vocal
solo and encore by Edna Allen;
:ornet solo and encore by
Harold Wilkins, accompanied by
Miss Nellie Marvin; and recita
tion and encore by Miss Mary

Progressive whist was the
amusement, the first prize being
taken by Miss Lura Kiser, the
booby falling to Miss Carrie
Danneman. In the games Mrs.
J. A. Henry took first and
Mrs. Emery Allen booby.
The concluding feature of this
pleasurable affair was ice cream,

Rebekahs would be "at home"

Miss Flora Mason of Albany is
known to many in Corvallis and
the Herald gives the following
excellent write-up regarding her
trip abroad: - 'f
After a six months' trip throngh
Europe and the Eastern states,
Miss Flora Mason returned last
night to her home in this city.5 5
Four months of the .tour were
spent in seeing the sights of the
"Old World," and the remaining
two were consumed in 'visiting
the different places and cities 'of
interest in the United States.
After leaving Albany ' Miss
Mason went to New York City,
where she sailed with a party of
fifteen tourists for Naples.1 ' The
trip across the water was unevent
ful. The eruDtion of Mt. Vesu
vius near Naples was just sub
siding when she reached the fa
mous city and the hrst rains naa
fallen. J
"Walking through the streets
of Naples' ' said Miss-. Mason,;
"we saw great piles of volcanic
dust and debris on every corner.;
The natives were busily engaged
in carting it away. No one at
this time seemed to be in the
east frightened and our guide!
told us that the eruptions had be
come such a trequent tnmg war, 1
they had grown calloused, as it
were, to the constant danger that
menaced them.
"Our Dartv spent a month
traveling through Italy. Through
extreme good luck we secured an
audience with his holiness", the
mnc The occasion was the
Vr.B
canonization of two saints." :)
From Italy Miss Mason and
party traveled through Switzer
land. The Alps Jform the great
scenic attraction in this 'country,'
and while they are very beauti
ful, Miss Mason says they cannot
V a
come up to tne granaeur ana
beauty of the Cascades arid
Rockies.
A trip through the tortuous
Rhine by '' boat was a pleasure
that fell to the party. This river,
with its historical associations,
the ancient and ruined castles
that eruard its picturesque banks.

were very interesting. "For
real beaut'v. however," continued
Miss Mason, "the Columbia riv
er, or even the Willamette, 'sur
rinses it in this respect. " The
waters of this stream . are ex
tremelv muddv"
Probablv the most memorable
event of Miss Mason's trio abroad
was the Fouith of Tuly celebra
tion in Paris bv the Americans
The cafes were crowded with the
Americans, and while the setting'
was Parisian, the sound of fire
cracker and display of red, white
and Hv? flgs were essentially
American.
