Candy is the permanent location
of the Clackamas County Fair which
receives an annual appropriation
from the Legislature. James Smith
of Maxburg is president, M. J. La
Sale of Oregon City is Secretary,
and o. D. Eby of Oregon City IS
treasurer. The Fair was grand
success in 1909 under the manage
ment of M. j. Lee, Secretary of the
Candy Canal Company. The attend
ance was doubled and the pavilion
display under Supt. o, e. Freytag
was superior in some respects to the
exhibits at the State Fair. From
seventy-five to one hundred race
horses were wintered here, owing to
the superior stable and track
facilities.

branch of the Corvallis Creamery,
was opened for business last Sep
tember and has now 23O patrons, in
March of this year 1880 pounds OF
butter were shipped out and this
will be increased so that from 3O,-
900 to $4,000 pounds a month will
be manufactured here during the
heighth of the season. Almost no
cream is shipped away from Candy,
which shows that the local cream
cry is giving satisfaction. Mr.. Jul
ius G. Kaupisch has had forty-three
years experience in making butter
and his son is the manager of the
large establishment at Corvallis. He
was employed as expert butter maxi
