RESOLUTIONS PASS Fruit and Vegetable Cannery Propo sition Presented by fc. E. Buster ot Portland. At a well attended meeting of the Commercial club held Monday evening the following resolutions against the referendum on the 1'ni- versity and in support o f the ap propriation were passed unani mously: Whereas, Certain parties or or ganizations are seeking to retard the progress o f the University of < iregon, situated at Iiugeue, by means of the referendum, and. Whereas, if this program is car ried out it will not only prove a great detriment to the educational interests of this state, but will give the state a bad name with persons intending to settle here, therefore be it Resolved. That this Commercial club unanimously agree that the amount appropriated by the legis lature is not an exhorbitant one, and be it further. Resolved, That this Commercial club will use its influence to secure this appropriation. G eorge M. H all , I*'. II. R o s e n b e r g , W . C.

COTTAGE GROVE, OREGON, FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1908. plaut is lieing established both at Monroe and Lebanon by Mr. Muster at the present time. He thought a IS,(« hi can c a pacity per day plant would be about what Cottage Grove should have, and such a plant with all modern machinery, buildings and appliances for canning fruit and vegetables as well as'inakiug all kinds of jellies and preserves, would cost complete $8,000. It is his plan to organize a local stock company, not a cent to be paid in until the plant i> completed ready for operations and accepted bv local directors. , Mr. Muster doubted the jxissi- bilitv o f the plant paying the first year, but as he stated, the farmers will never Iiegin raising small fruits and vegetables in quantities for canning purposes until there is a cannery first provided to handle their products and the sooner such au institution is located here the sooner the small farmers and truck raisers will liegin to get busy and prosper. Such an institution would make small farming tracts double in value in this vicinity in a few years and with the many fine, young orchards coming into bear ing and numerous others that will come in later, a cannery is sure to become a- profitable investment in a short time and will give a strong impetus to a fine industry which is springing up in South Lane at the present time. When the creamery was put in at this place a few years ago, the prospects for its success was any thing but encouraging, however, today it is one o f the prosperous enterprises o f our" community, of which we all feel proud, and is d o ing much for the farmers and for the upbuilding of the dairy inter ests of South Lane county. There must lie a beginning in the establishment of every new en terprise and if we wait until all the conditions become favorable our opportunity is oftimes lost by a more enterprising locality carrying off the plum. So let us get busy and see if we cannot secure the $.X,(MHt fruit and vegetable cannery and preserving plant for Cottage Grove. f ^ | SPECIAL SALE SH O E S Bargains in Footwear which cannot be duplicated any where.
