ness men o f t h i s community
should welcome the chance to in
vest in $25. shares in a home in
dustry, one which has to date lib
erated several thousand dollars
in local circulation and which will
distribute thousands o f dollars
more.
A number o f local people have
already shown their pride in home
industry and their desire to build
up a permanent market, by in
vesting such amounts as they can
afford, but the general response
has been below par, with the ten
dency a m o n g p e o p l e having
means, to let the other fellow do
the work and furnish the money.
If between now and September
15th next, the people o f this com
munity will subscribe $1,5C0. to
wards the Kstacada cannery, the
News will guarantee the $500.
necessary to make up the requir
ed $2,000. Slock to be issued in
payment for each $25. share.
R. C. Deming, the manager of
the cannery,, has not the time to
solicit stock and t h e business
should not have to pay a commis
sion to a solicitor to raise this
money; so if you want to show
your faith in your home country,
advance the value o f your farm
land, g u a r a n t e e a permanent
market for your produce, advise
Mr. Deming or the News office of
your desire to help.
Everybody Is Learning The
Trade
One o f the busiest spots in
this county today, is Estacada’ s
business thorofare, Broadway,
where the laying o f the concrete
paving is well underway.
Contractor Pesznecker, w i t h
the assistance o f A. G. Ames, A.
Sagner, W. Gribbens, John Os
born, Warren Barr, Tom Rhodes,
Neil Bronson, George Coates, O.
0 . Bland, Herb Kuhrasche, Carl
Kimmel and others on the pay
roll, is now laying about three
20x20 ft. slabs o f the paving per
day.
Aside from the helpers on the
payroll, nearly every male inhab
itant o f the city is on the side
lines, offering some advice but
generally absorbing more, from
the instructions o f Rev. Spiess,
who is acting as official inspector
for city and property owners. In
addition to Rev. Spiess, .a repre
sentative o f the Oswego Cement
Company is on the job, thereby
guaranteeing a proper mixture o f
the ingredients and help in lay
ing out the concrete.
To add to the confusion, the
m em bersofthe city council, from
the mayor to the recorder, are in
the way half o f the time, but
everybody’s having a good time
and all are enthusiastic over the
tine pavement which will ulti
mately result.
First set given away Wednesday. Sept. 6t.h
As Rev. Spiess is constantly
within ear-shot, a slight change
in the vocabulary o f some o f the
workers and bystanders has had
to be adopted, but occasionally
one o f the crowd says "P sh aw ”
or "G osh” notwithstanding.
The Estacada merchants are al
ready laying plans for a big street
carnival and dance, to celebrate
the opening o f Broadway about
October 1st.
