CREAMERY.
Farmers Will Build Modern
Creamery Plant At
St. Clair. -
To Be Established on a Strictly
Cooperative PaSiS.


What promises to be the starting Of
an industry that IS destined to become
one Of the principal factors in our future
commercial life occurred at St Clair
Wednesday when a number OF the
county's most progressive farmers met
at Naughns hall and discussed the
feasibility of the building OF modern
equipped dairy to consume the milk
product Of 1909 cows About twenty
We're in attendance at the meeting and
what was lacked in numbers was amply
compensated for by enthusiasm, and il
all signs do not fal St Clair viii be the
posessor Of creamery that will be 2

son has passed.
Lieutenant-G Governor Allen was elect
ed president of the organization, Fred
Wightman, secretary, r. c. Vaughan
treasurer. The officers and c. ".

the board OF directors
Following the eonyening OF the meet
ing 5. kroummes read areport relativeto
the creamery industry gathered by him
on a recent trip to Carson valley
points where the creamery in
dustry Is a very prosperous one. 1t
waseited in the report that one party
in the Carson Valley derived an
income Of $71326, exclusive OF but
ter cheese and hog iced, IRON an
average OF II cows, in one year An
other party received 1896. Il in the same
length OF time from Il cows. The latter
dairyman also received his butter
cheese and hogfeed in addition to the
amount stated. Other instances were
mentioned to demonstrate the feasibility
OF the new project, following which the
probable cost OF modern creamery
building complete with machinery sd
the probable amount of business that
could be assured it was discussed.
Estimates OF the cost OF a modern
building with machinery adequate to
the demands for a long time to come,
placed the amount at about 5000 which
would include the installation OF ma
ehinery and the building OF all neces-
sary outbuildings, hog pens, etc. Sam
kroummes, an experienced creamery
man, than stated that as one OF the
prime movers Of the affair, he had can
Yassed his locality and had been assured
OF the milk from at least three hundred
COWS by the farmers OF the St. Clair
locality. This would be for the first
year, AMI it would be the plans OF those
interested to increase the number of
COWS until the creamery would be hand
ling to its full capacity the milk pro-
duets, which would mean that $4,000
pounds OF milk must be furnished daily.
To commence with, it is figured that 10,
600 pounds would be the minim um, but
taking the experience Of other localities
it was figured that the supply would in
crease very rapidly until the market
would reach its limit, which would be
an impossibility in this section.
After discussing various matters per-
tanning to the project the meeting ad-
iourned, with the executive board in
structed 10 90 ahead and do their ut
most to push the project to a successful
issue. 1t shall be their duty between
now AMI September 9Th, the date set
Tor the next meeting TO ascertain the
exact amount that can be raised by the
selling OF shares 1t is proposed to fol-
low the plan adopted by the Carson
Valley creamery, whose building was
accomplished by borrowing money on
Joint note, making it purely co-opera-
tive 1t is said that all debts were
cleared by the creamery company in
five years, and that it was go easily ae-
eomplished that II was hardly realized
that there had been debt paying pro-
cess. County Commissioner Fred
Wightman, C. W Wightman, Lieuten-
ant Governor Allen, J j. and c o.
Cushman, Thoa Thoomey Sam Kroum-
mes j P Verplank, F. w Inman and
r. c. and E. W Vaughn are among the
prime prime movers in this new enter
prise and the personnel augurs well for
its success
