BRING IT HERE.--We learn that the
Willamette Packing company of Albany,
have erected a large building, put In ma.
chinery and have now a large force en-.
gagged In making cans for the coming sea
son of fruit They have already fifteen
tons of tin and more than dozen hands
are employed In making the cans and
otherwise getting ready for the summer
and fall fruit. They arc using fourteen
horse power engine and will engage about
| fifty hands during the season, and put up
! not less than 100000 cans, or 5ooo cases
! Now why cannot Lebanon fern a joint
stock company for the same purpose; the
fruit that annually rots on the ground and
otherwise goes To waste In and around Leb-
anon, would create an immense business
give employment TO ialers, and bring a
large revenue TO our town. Lebanon has
natural advantages oyer Albany In this
business.-ExbTesS. By all means get one !;
but II you cannot, bring your fruit here,
save il anyway.

around Albany should be gradually cut up
into fruit orchards. The Geld is widening
into big proportions, and as productive
couatry ter majority Of fruits, excepting
only some Of the tropical fruits, this should
be second TO none. We must be up and de-
ing. There is going to be money hereafter
in ali the fruit that can be raised here, and
We should reap some OF tho harvest New
railroads are making the market large rne,
and there is no reason Why we should not be
shipping on large scale, as is now done on
a small scale. to Montana. Idaho, Washing
ton Territory. British Columbia, Nevada,
and even California, An example Of what
can be done with moderate outlay with a
ten to twenty acre tract is Mr. Gross's fruit
and garden place near this city.
