He TALKED C NN:RY.
And, Says There is Money in IA
49,, Visitor.

A man in Corvallis this week
from a neigh.oring part of the
comfy talked Of the benefits of a
cannery to community. and
commented on the articles tha,
have recently appeared in the
Gazette On that subject.
This man has brother in
another state who is engaged in
this business and the statement oi
this gentleman is that there is
big money in it for those who
operate the plant, to say nothing
of the benefits that accrue to the
town and locality in which the
plant is esta blished.
Il know something about it.
and l tell you there is nothing
like it for building up a town."
declared this visitor, remarking
at the same time that if Corvallis
would follow up the agitation
begun and not rest until capital
lists or others were induced to in
vest in such proposition great
things could and would be &C
complished for this section.
This idea is not rew in Cor
Wallis nor in Benton, but it re-
m 4ins only an "idea" and until
some one puts it into practical
use and acts upon it there will be
huLdreds of bushels of fruit go
to waste annually in Benton
county that might easily be con-
verted into cash.
While some OF the farmers of
this section follow the same old
lines of wheat raising and do rot
seek to try the new ideas of farm
ing, there are many more who
go in for the advanced methods
and who would gladly join in
movement for establishment
that would mean steady employ
ment for many persons and help
to build up the town and county.
Several of the papers in neigh.
boring towns have in recent
weeks touched upon this subject
for their sections, and the Ca
zette now, as in the past, urges
the subject upon the attention OF
its readers, believing it to be of
the greatest Importance to the
people hereabouts, both in and
out o. town, since the benefits 10
be derived would be for all class
es.

IT MIGHT HAVE.

Where the glad-hearted bathers made
merry
I saw her plunge into the sea:
There was glorious grace In her move
ments,
Her beauty gave pleasure to me-
Her laugh was nqnid-li1Ee music,
And thrice, as stood on the shore.
She looked at me, causing my pulses
To leap as they neser had before.
/ watched her go pIayfully spIashing.
The breakers reared round her small
feet;
Her eyes had the lure of a SIRENS,
Her lips looked enehantingly sweet.
The moist wind blew in from the ocean.
The sails In the distance were fursed,
And high on the beach the white break
ers
With fhunderous anger were hurled.
But the treaeherous undertow didn't
Go dragging her out TO the sea,
And she had no occasion for calling
In tones that were plaintive to me.
She waded ashore. and the giadness
/ had she perhaps never knew
Gee whiz. she was pretty to look at,
And she seemed to be glad of it too.
