LEXINGTON CREAMERY
At a special meeting of the Im
provement League last Monday after
noon It was decided to build a Cream- j
ry at Lexington. J. W. Maxwell, of !
Walla Walla, representing the Hast
ings Industrial Co., was present at the
meeting and submitted plans and spec
ifications for the building and machine
ety. The new creamery will be large
enough to handle the cream from 1000
cows, and is to be equipped with first
class modern machinery throughout.
The plant when complete will cost
$4500, of which amount $1000 was
subscribed by those present at the
meeting. It Is proposed to Incorporate
and sell the remaining stock to our
citizen at par value of $100 per share.
Present prospects indicate that the
Creamery will have the milk from 150
cows to start on, which Insures the
success of the enterprise and will
place about $800 pSr month with the
farmers of this community. This
company has erected a number of
creameries throughout the Inland Em
pire, all of which are in successful
operation, the last one having been
just completed at Echo. The com
pany bind themselves to have the
plant installed and ready for operation
within sixty days from the acceptance
of the contract. It will require about
thirty days to complete the organiza
tion aed dispose of the stock and we
feel safe in saying that by September
, 1st the Lexington Creamery will be . in
operation and turning out a good grade
of butter as well as distributing dol
lars among i( patrons.
AN OPEN LETTER
Portland, Oregon, May 15.
To the voters of Oregon, Greeting:
Gentlemen:
The undersigned submit to you a
few of our reasans for asking you to
ratify, by your affirmative votes, the'
Amendment granting equal rights to
women, which has been placed before
the voters through a petition numer
ously signed by the- men of Oregon un
der the initiative and referendum.
This movement has grown under
your management from the small be
glnlng known as the Married Woman's
Sole Trader Bill, enacted by your Leg
islative Assembly in 1872, until it has
reached such vast proportions as to at
tract the attention of ' the civilized
world. A Constitutional Amendment
proposing women's enfranchisement,
submitted to you in 1884, brought us
an affirmative vote of 1 1 ,223. This
Amendment -was again submitted to
your suffrage by Legislative initiative
in 1900, bringing us a vote of 26,265
Although the population of the com
mercial centers had . doubled in
16 years, the 'o" vote was only in
creased by 226, While the "Yes" vote
was augmented by 15,042. This, to
us. is a palpable augury of the triumph
i which we confidently look to you to
consummate, for us on the 4th day of
June by placing "X" between "302"
and "Yes" on your ballots. .. Do this
' and you will honor our flag of truce,,
the oply power we can offer In our de
i fense against the balloted forces of the.
opposition." Do this, and you will hon
or Oregon, your mothers and your
selves.
And your petitioners will ever pray:
Abigail Scott Duni way.
