CANNING FACTORY
FOR GRAND JUNCTION

Grand Junction is to have can
ming factory. This is no josh. as
the boy would say, but an actual
fact
Those who are here for the pur
pose of promoting the factory state
that ground will be broken and dirt
flying for a canning factory in this
city in less than sixty days.
The manner in which the work
has been undertaken is as follows.
The Hastings Industrial Company OF
Chicago. a corporation engaged in
promoting industrial enterprises
have undertaken to secure the build
ing of the factory. Representing
them here today and for the past
week are II. \. Hathaway and p. d.
Creager. Their plan is TO build a
factory that will cost contract price,
s11.4O0. To do this they will Sc
cure the subscribing of the total
amount OF $4,000 worth of stock
in the valley. The plant proposed
will be built to have a capacity of
$4,000 cans per day and will be Of
The latest machinery for canning
purposes.
Messrs. Hathaway and Creager
met at the Fruit Growers association
This afternoon two committees of the
Chamber of Commerce and President
McMullin. also Manager Moore of the
association. and were in consultation
over the plan of procedure.
The stock viii all be subscribed
in this city and vicinity and the
plant when completed will be owned
locally. The plan OF the gentlemen
comprehends that their company
shall go forward as soon as they
have the $4,000 of stock subscribed.
not asking one cent of money down
until the plant is finished, when they
will make demand for the payment
of one-half of the stock subscribed
from each individual. and at the end
of three months for the other half.
In this way the plant viii be built
before one dollar is asked from any
subscriber TO the stock.
These gentlemen were successful
in building the large creamery at
Collbran. and have entered into a
contract with the people of Pali-
sade to build cannery there of the
capacity Of 10000 cans per DAY. The
stock for the Palisade cannery is
already subscribed and work will be-
gin at once on that cannery.
Messrs. Hathaway and Creager

factories are big paying investments
and certainly, with the great abun-
dance of fruit in this valley that goes
10 waste. there should be sufficient
fruit to make this big paying prop
osition.
According to the statistics of the
state of Iowa. composite deduction
from the profits earned by the can
ming factories of that state shows a
net profit to the canneries of 3O.4
per cent.
The building of this factory will

war pictures: "The greater number of
the artists pictures were extremely
poor as art, many of them rising not
above peep show value, and not few
are utterly insincere. Vereschagin de-
clared publicly that the chief value Of
his pictures was their faithfulness to
scenes witnessed by himself, yet he de-
