and it's marvellous resources, hence, anything we say is from the fact that that we are amply warranted in doing so, and the further fact, as we see it, the true interests of our city and val ley require that we should. Therefore, for thinking farmers, merchants, property owners and lovers of the val ley's prosperity do-we truly give you the facts as gleaned from MT. Corney should he decide to invest.
 Size of cold storage building, S0XS0, three stories high and in which will be used 9O5,O0O brick and 100000 feet of lumber, besides this the sheds, yards, engine house, etc.
 Its capacity (storage) would be dyer one and half million pounds at least.
 The plant, machinery, etc., would come from the east consisting of twenty-five cars, divided up as fol- lows: Eight cars machinery, thirteen cars of salt, cooperage, tins and imple ments, with one car of paper.
 Five skilled workmen with their families would come. When the thirty cars of lumber are added to the above it can readily be seen the large amount of money that must be paid on freight charges alone, aggregating over sev- enteen thousand dollars.
 "The capacity of the plant could handle, say 250 hogs per day or 150 hogs and fifty head of cattle, giving a daily cash market to every farmer in the valley, not to speak of the expense saving to our entire retail butcher trade, in a word, placing 1t in their power to dispense with large cold storage slaughtering houses, etc.

From what has been said it remains for us to suggest, yes, ask, that each farmer in the valley make 1t convenient to call at our office when in the city during the next ten days pending the return of MT Corney. This will give them an opportunity to exchange views and arrange matters 1 so that he can personally meet and talk with every farmer, stock raiser and interested party in the city and valley on this important subject, yes, upon one which involves an investment of large capital-if any. Good will Con our part will not suffice, as very often they like eggs, unless matched into ac- | tion, will run into rottenness.' We should meet this man personally.
 eve could enumerate many advan- tages to be derived, but feel that our humble effort, that of a mere novice in building up this community, as con- 1 pared with the many tried and expert enced men that may read this inter- view and to whom is due the credit of bringing the valley before the country at large and within whose grasp it is too patent, the many and great advan- | tages which necessarily must follow to each and everyone of us, as we'll as | the necessity of leaving nothing un- done in the way of meeting capital when it comes, yes, to our very doors, seeking information"
