Dates Gives Views. W. A. Gates, local mercnant, pressed his views on the project, and considering the fact that local farm' rs have shlppepd through the pres. nt agency 19,000 head of hogs to Portland markets at top prices and at an added Income of S10t..000. the merchant saw no need of importing bacon and other products with extra freight charges, when a local packing house could produce cured meats at leas cost, besides creating employ, ment. Rogue river valley Is prlmar- Uy a farming community, with the morchant dependent on the prosper- Jty of U:e farmer and the wage earn er, Mr. Gates said, and mentioned the present system of. competition as -vicious cycle which snows no improve ment.
