The time has arrived when the sub
ject of establishing and operating a
fruit aud vegetable canning business
should receive the thorough attention
Of the business men of Brownsville
This industry, which has been thor
oughly tested in other localities Of the
state, has proved most successful and
remunerative investment, not only to
the stockholders, but also to the fruit
grower and farmer, and has given en-
pioyment 10 large numbers of people,
paying them fair wages; also given
new energy TO the raising of cereals
and fruits, and been the means of util-
izing tracts of rich and productive land
formerly uncultivated. There is, per-
haps. no section of the wcrld offering
greater inducements for the coming
business than the Willamette valley, !,
abundance of rich land well adapted
to large and small fruit growing, mild
winters, water pure and plenty, wood
in abundance and easy OF access, farma
wide spread with thousands of acres of
ground that, with moderate labor and
care, will support countless fruit trees
which, if taken in connection with a
properly managed canning industry,
will yield handsome incomes to the
producer Brownsville is fortunate in
its location for this industry, COM
manding, as ii does, large and pro
ductive surrounding country, having
direct communication with Portland
and way points, there is no reason why
with little energy and capital, busi-
ness may not be founded that viii help
the merchant, the farmer and the gen
eraI public, and be of the greatest adj
vantage to cur town. During the past
week w r. Kirk has left on tour oi
inspection eff the commerees of our
neighboring cities, and should his re
port of the same be satisfactory, but s
short time will intervene before meas
ures will be taken to establish and op
crate this much needed addition to oui
already prosperous town. II. $. 7.
