Large Cannery,' Completely EquippedEstablished at Talent
.Duriag the past year tho Bagley
Canning company was organized at
Talent to fill a long felt need In tho
valleyr
'The neuleua of this company was
created during tho season of 1911,
when with a small steam cooking out
fk'loeated on Bagley ranch, over
bercn hundred cases of fruit and vege
tables were canned. This venturo
more firmly Impressed tho first opin
ion ot tiio great benefit to tho community-
to bo derived from this in
dustry. Hather Into in tho season
ofl91-' a number ot public, spirited
men united and formed tho present
company, which wan incorporated in
Juncand the process of canning and
drylug was begun in August while
tho mechanics wcro still construct
ing tan plant. With tho idea Of nmk-iHg-merchautablo
tho wasta now go
lug an in connection with tho fruit
Industry lioro, this plant was planned
to lotublne in one, canning, drylug,
elder making, and attendant products
as pahteurUcd elder, fruit butters,
viaegar, etc. Tills combination hus
demonstrated its praetlblllty. The
ill-) or department takes care ot much
of tho fruit too rlpo for canning, and
tho vinegar department, which is
Just being installed takes caro of tho
cull apples unused by the other de
partments. 911,000 In etted
The Investment to dato in tho
Plant amounts to over tu.ooo.OO.
bofcldcs thy land donated by tho citi-'j
zona of Talent, which cost them
11,000.00.
Vury soon now tho company will
tart packing pruuen, this will be tho
first prune proceslng and finishing
plaut In tho valley, and tho product
on hand will make early three cars.
As' arranged at present the plant
can produce 0000 filled cans, 1300
pounds or dried fruit and 1000 gal
lons of cldor dally.
Tho company huvo shipped to
Pprtlaud five carloads of canned
rrutr behldcs thu equivalent of nearly-tuo
cars by local freight nud team
to valley points,
Ah a compliment tn tho puck, a
well as to thu quullty ot tho Iloguo
Kiver peaches, the company received
US cent more por caso for tho whole
. peach pack In Portland than the mar
ket, offered for any othor punches of

In planting tho location of this in
dustry It was npparent that one In
stitution could not uupply tho do
mands of tho valley, each division of
territory mado had something which
recommended It. There wero prob-
all through tho pe.tili ami punr sea

Tlinro Is this which may bo said
regarding this industry; whereas tho
tannery and allied accessories are a
benefit, almost a necessity, tho con
ditions found by tho cannory aro not
bloms peculiar to tho valley to be Ideal, in tho first place wo are sub
worked out. Talent was chosen for'jject to greater freight rates on all
the first unit because of the variety I materials received or finished pro
of fruit and vegetables readily ac- ducts shipped out than aro other can
cesBlble. So much product was of-jncrlcs. In tho matter of fruit and
vegetables, tho prices asked are In
accens of thorn In other cannery dis
trict Tin- vitrlut) of fruit, nud In
tho liislnur' of poached, thu in out de
sirable varlotltw uro not abundant
enough In a given sectlou to make a
lurgu and varlod pack. These nro
real conditions which faro any can

A U cent water rate to Portland from
California points, and a 30 rent rnl
rate from hero to Portland, must havo

basis ot thu raw material. Tho moat
ot tho matter Is this; till vnllu)
needs cauiiorlOH, and allied Institu
tions beiauso of their great eiuiuo
