ICE PLANT A SURE GO.
Delta Dressed Meat Co. Directors Dec ide
To Go Ahead With Enterprise Mach
inery Will be Bought at Once.

At II meeting of the Board of Direct
ors of the Delta Dressed Meat Co. held
in Delta Tuesday it was decided by a
unanimous vote to purchase machinery
and equipment Immediately for an ice
plant and to install the same and get it
into operating order as rapidly as pos
sible. S. p. Hoine was directed to pur-
chase the machinery and take the
matter in charge and he has gone to
Denver for that purpose. The Dressed
Meat Company have been figuring on
such enterprise for more than a year and
Mr.. Home has had the matter of look
ing up prices and equipment largely in
charge. therefore he knows Just about
what is needed and has fair idea of
the cost. He says the plant will have
a capacity of from six to ten tons per
"a hours and that such an outfit will
cost from Is. 900 to $4,000.
To accommodate the plant it will be
necessary to erect an l8x26 two story
addition to the engine house. BY put
ting in refrigerator pipes and storing
part of the ice manufactured during
winter u plant of the capacity proposed
will supply both the packing house and
town trade.

PAONIA PACKING AND
EVAPORATING PLANTS
Facts and Figures Showing Splendid
Industries Are Being Built Up
from Refuse Products.
OF SMALL FAVORS
Plenty Of Fruit to Supply Similar Indus
tries in other Towns in
This Territory

Last week IS Paonia Booster was th9
best issue for long while. Among
other things it contained some facts
and figures about the packing and
evaporating plants that are mighty in
teresting and should serve to make
Delta people look up. No reason why
we should not have the same thing.
There is plenty of fruit to keep similar
plants going at Delta and as for de-
mand for the product there is no ques-
ton. Mr.. Delta Business Man. Read
about these splendid enterprises in the
North Fork and then get down to hard
thinking about how we are to do the
same thing here.
Following is the article taken from
the Booster as referred to above.
TH1 PAoNIA PACKING CO.
Realizing the necessity for some
means of taking care of the large
amount of ripe fruit which went to
waste every year and was total loss,
company of home people was organiz-
ed with capital stock of $40, 900 for
the purpose of building and operating
cannery, styled The Paonia Packing
Co. 1t was operated with moderate
success the first year, and in the spring
of 1906 the capital stock was raised to
$40, 900 and the plant enlarged accord
ingly. The output for 1906 speaks for
itself. The following figures give the
amount of each kind of fruit bought
and the average prices paid:
The Delta independent., 1907-02-22

The output of. the cannery was 13, 900
cases of canned fruit which was all con-
tracted for before it was put up and is
being consumed entirely by Colorado
markets. During the season of about
six months an average of ninety people
were employed, and the pay roll for
the season reached SlO,O The capac-
ity of the plant will probably be doubled
for the coming season.
THE NORTH FORK VALLEY PACKING co.
This was the first company to be or
ganized with capital stock of SIS, 900
to handle the fruit which was going to
waste by becoming too ripe for ship
ping. An evaporator plant was put in
with a capacity for handling consider
able fruit. Their success is demostrat-
ed by the fact that they have never
been able to anywhere near supply the
demand. and today it is impossible to
buy case of fruit of them. They put
up an extra fancy grade which readily
brings more than the California article.
Following is the amount of fruit bought
and packed during the season of 1906:
Peaches. 1876 tons
Prunes. 207 &"
Apples. 100 -
During the season an average of
forty people were given employment.
This company expects to double their
output during the coming year.
