Mr. Ii. K. Muster, organizer and
builder o f industrial plants, was
present from Portland to interest our
citizens in putting in a cannery for
fruits and vegetables. The matter
was taken under consideration by
the club and bids fair to be brought
to a successful issue.
The club appointed the follow
ing committee to confer with Mr.
Muster and thoroughly investigate
the proposition: J. I. Jones, J. H.
Chambers, Marion Veatch, Men
I.urch and I*'. I). Wheeler.
Mr. Muster in his statement be
fore the club called attention to
the fact that a small cannery was
built at Hrownsville last year and
its capacity is lieing doubled for
this year's «jierations. A new

The regular March term of cir

by Judge Harris. More than the
usual number o f cases were on the
docket this term for the reason that
the business that piled up during
the holidays, caused by the finan
cial flurrv, when no court could be
held, had not been touched. A
short term was held in January,
but very little was done and it ad
journed a couple of days after con
vening. There was 122 cases oil
the docket this time and several
were filed after the docket was
printed and others will come till
before court adjourns.

The joint institute of the W . C.
T . 1". for the counties of Douglas
and Lane was held at Drain, Ore
gon, Feb. 27 and 28,
1908.
Twenty-seven delegates were pres
ent from outside of Drain. The
first session was held on the even
ing of the 27tli at the M. E.
church. After a song service by
tlie choir and invocation by Mrs.
DeSpaiti of Cottage Grove, Mrs.
Sneed, jiresident of the Drain
union, introduced Mrs. Wheeler,
president of the Laue couuty
union, who acted as president for
the evening.
Mrs. Henrietta Brown, state pres
ident of the W . C. '1'. U. gave an
exposition of the projiosed liquor
law, known as the Reddy bill,
which is to lie voted upon in J uue,
iu the form of a written opinion by
two of the best lawyers of Albany,
one a republican and the other a
democrat, both agreeing that the
natur • and intent of the law is
such as to nullify the'present local
option law passed at the election
two years ago. I’res. Mriggs of
the State Normal school discussed
the matter from the stand-point of
parent and taxpayer and called
on all who valued the public wel
fare, protection of the home, and
good citizenship to vote " lib " on
the proiH>sed bill.
lu a brief preface to "N otes of
V ictory,” Mrs. Helen 1). Harford,
National Organizer of the W . C.
T. l\ , advised all who at any time
were puzzled how to vote, to find
out what the thug, the gambler
and the saloon keejier wanted and
to vote the other way, as they are
always foes of all that is good.
Victory on top of victory,» with
Mississippi as the latest mark of
the prohibition wave, was received
with great enthusiasm by the audi
ence, culminating in loud applause
at the close o f a temperance vers-

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.
