' 6 MEDFOUD MATL TRIBUNE MEDFOTIT). OTOON, :TDAY 'APT5TL G. 1M7. VXdVj FIVE PROPOSES PLAN! IT BARBED WIRE ENTANGLEMENTS PLACED ABOUT MAMMOTH WIRELESS TOWERS Among tho numerous Inquiries re ceived in recent weeks by the Med ford Commercial club concerning op portunities for development of local industries pecularlly adapted to con ditions in this valley, that of W. S. Hollls, manufacturer and publisher, of Everett, Washington, 1b especially Interesting in that It covers a field ot more than ordinarily attractive promise. It pertains to the location of a plant here for the manufacture of cider, vinegar, pickets, jams. Jel lies and evaporated fruits. The Immense waste in products from which these articles of com merce are made is very great in this valloy. If this waste were converted) Into marketable by-products, the net sifting to producers would be very substantial. This field offers unusual Inducement for this type of develop . nient. The establishment of a sut t flclently large plant here to handle the waste which is now a total loss, would add a large industrial enter prise to the business of southern Ore gon and enable the farmers to enjoy an additional profit from work nec cessarily preformed and on which, under existing conditions, great loss Is suffered: Jjii'Ko OrpinlMillon Promised. MV. IlolllH, In a somewrat extended explanation of his purpose, says he contemplates making an organization sufficiently comprehensive to operate factories in different sections of the fruit and vegetable belts of north west and equip them with the most modern machinery for such an output. He will engage experts in the manu facture and handling of such products and each plant will be conducted with the highest degree of efficiency. This will enable him to put up attractive packages under registered trade-mark and place them on the market In a strictly sanitary condition. The Institution will ' maintain its own selling force, as well as Its own arehcuses In Portland and Seattle, thus eliminating the matti.r of deal ing with commission men and Jobbers, This v. ill be an added factor in se curing the best prices for the pro ducts. It will insure the producers "better prices for their fruits and veg etables. " ' UroltCIUgO IllI.slllCSS A1SO "Aside from tho products we will manufacture, " says Mr. Mollis, -'we win handle a largo volume of bus! ness as brokers for salmon packers of the Puget Sound and Alaska fac tories and a large amount of business for dairies and creameries. This will afford ample returns on business that will Jostlfy employment of tho most efficient selling force obtainable, en abling us to cover the entire country and do a large export business. "We will endeuvor to ha'id'.e the output of canneries and food-pro bluets plants; ind we will he able to do so at a saving to them because cf direct dealla? with the wholesaler. Operating pur own warehouses wl bring storage cos: down to the mini mum and operating plants will give us a sufficient volume of products to grade and classify them for top prices. Dried apples are selling on tho re tail market nt two pounds for 2 cents ungraded and pr.; up in ' pound boxes. The small drying plants rocelve about six cents per pound dealing through the commission man and jobber; this will enable him to pay $8 to $9 per ton for raw material These figures are based on tho pre- Bent market. "Putting out a large volume products will justify our putting u goods up In neat pacages, and duce the cost of handling and shfi ping, making selling easier at better prices. "We would like to make our organ Izutlon sufficiently large to hand! 100,000 tons of raw material, utiliz es everything in the apple and veg etable cider and vinegar from pear- Ings, apple butter from pulp, togcth er with jams. Jellies and pickles o all kinds. It is possible to handle th matter so that large parts of the low grade fruits would be taken off the market, where It now competes with better grades. thinkers owners o large orchards and AUsSii buslno: men are Interested. If we can secure co-operation of the growers, we ca save a million djliari to the orth west every year." Mr. Hollls promises to c me poo and personally l.ve itUrle the situ I ation, Secretary I atta having wrltte J. him a statement cf lor a! conditio! and a paiKRestlon cf the promise good hus'ness in thhi field In tha line of mairu faciei'!. of TABLE ROCK TABLETS The band of cattle be'pnglng Mr. nighnm of Trail that "ere fed the last two months on the Harry Nealon ranch, have been put Into pu ture on the Ray ranch.
