M. B. Hendrick lias a suitable boiler and engine and warehouse room lying idle at the railroad switch. Eive thousand dollars capital would place it in working condition for either of the above purposes. Mr. Hendrick feels too far advanced in age to un dertake such an enterprise alone, but has made the statement that he would give half of the above amount to establish such an institution. There will never be a better chance than this come to this town to make a start in the way of manufactures. The benefit of such institutions is made plain to us by the example of Mr. Snyder’s dryer in the little town of Day ton. It does more towards scattering money and drawing business to the town thqn all other lines of trade, with the possible exception of the ware houses and Hour mill, and its annual pay-roll amounts to #2,000 for less than a year’s run.^ What Will McMinnville Do? Men’s Suits Hade to Order in Our Fine Tailoring Department. March 23, 1901, do ? There is a very general disposition among our Oregon neighbors to seize the golden opportunity of advertising local resources, with the object of inducing immigrants to settle among them. During this and next month it is estimated that 2,000 immigrants from eastern states will arrive in Oregon each week. Corvallis, Independence, Albany and Eugene are more or less concerned in the matter, and are tak ing some very proper steps to accomplish tlieir object. Linn county will issue a booklet of 20 pages in connection with C. H. Markham of the South ern Pacific. Albany and Eugene have held mass meetings to devise means for advertising tlieir resources. The latter place may employ one of their citizens to stop in Portland for a time to meet new comers and try to in duce them to settle in Lane county. The state of Washington is also awake, and has been much more so for years than Oregon. The people of Colfax are planning to send a delegation east to enlighten the immigration now pushing its way to these two states. B7iuf will McMinnville and Yamhill County do? It cannot be maintained that immigrants will pay no attention to these movements. Every man knows for himself what he would do were he going to a new country. He knows that he would investigate those localities which manifested a desire for him to settle among them, and which proffered encouragement and social and business fellowship. We are blessed above most of our neighbors in natural advantages. It is a well-known state fact in Oregon that Yamhill county leads as an agri cultural district, both in fertility of soil and the broad expanse of land sub servient to the plow. Ot course it follows that agricultural eminence stamps her as the proper place for any establishment that can manufac ture agriculture products into articles of utility and profit. Our wealth of timber resource is practically undiscovered. The dairy interest is only in its infancy. Vast acres are eligible to seeding to nutritious grasses, while most of the year cattle may roam the foothills and mountains and subsist upon the natural growth. The scarcity of beef cattle in a country so well designed for stock raising, is one of the anomalies of the time. Our educational advantages are exactly such as fill the demands of new comers. District school, high school and college are all here with modern methods and equipment. Transportation facilities by boat and rail enable shipments to reach the metropolis of Portland the same day they are started on their way. Our citizenship is intelligent and congenial. It only remains for us to demonstrate that we are enterprising. The question is: Do we want more employment of labor, greater production from land» and forests, and greater activity anti better value» for what we have to sell? More population and diverse employment of capital will bring this result. Because men invest their capital in the common avenues of trade and fear to branch out into something of greater possibilities, these com mon avenues become stagnated and business in all lines is overdone. What McMinnville and the towns in Yamhill county need, is diversified industry and pay-rolls. To this end let us encourage immigration and community of interest, and God will help those who help themselves. CLOTH ING ■ NO. 14. • fi fi • • Let us have a board of trade or some organized effort whereby we can establish mutual confidence and a harmonized movement for the promotion of the future good of the town. 9’"IIE MILLINERY will be displayed in the gallery.
