For the past two weeks or so there has been grea
deal OF discussion in Heppner the proposition Of
tabishing at this point creamery, and induce the
farmers and ranchers in the immediate vicinity Of Hepp
ner to stock up with the Jersey other gooc
milk stock and put themselves in line for better and more
frequent returns in cash.
J. r. Nunamaker who is largely interested in sockras
ing and ranchng in this vicinity has been moving spirit
and it has been hard to get up lot Of talk on the
proposition. Being dsrous Of getting the matter in
shape that definite action might be secured
toward the desired end, E. Woodson president of the
Boost Club called meeting Tuesday evening to start
the ball rolling.
This meeting well attended considering the short
notice given and much interest was taken in the dis
cusson of the subjects OF daryng ceameries dry farm
ing hog raising etc. and speeches made to the point by
T. j. Mahoney, ]. Fl. Wyland, j. b HuddIeston, Harry
Cummings, E. M. Shutt and others.
The first proposition considered was that of the pro
posed help offered Morrow Gillian and Sherman counties
through the Commercial Club and other organizations Of
Portland and it the OF the majority Of this
meeting that the best possible thing that could be done
would be to adopt the plan offered by Cashier Mahoney
the establishing of demonstration farm on our dry land
same equipped with all the necessary machinery to do dry
farming and thus instruct by actual work the farmers
this section. Many of people live the dry hill land
and are compelled to raise grain and are of course very
anxious get the best the soil be made to produce
by use of improved methods After much discussion and
the unanimous expression of gratitude to the people of
Portland who showing such interest in welfare
moved to appoint committee to take up the matter
+hOca h06io md who ho T
Mahoney E. NJ Shut and c. c. Patterson were appointed
The meeting having been called more particularly to
discuss the creamery proposition, W. w. Smead made a
brief statement of what being proposed and the dis
cusson opened Good talks favoring the creamery
made by various parties and the ground gone
pretty WELL The conclusion reached was that the first
thing necessary cows In order make the creamery
pay there should be at least 500 begin with and
it is proposed to build plant with capacity for 1000
cows Conservative figuring shows that this number can
easily be cared for in the country Immediately tributary
to Heppner committee therefore authorized ap-
pointed put the question dairy up our people
and interest them in stocking their ranches with dairy
COWS and learn as possible the number to be de-
pended Another commtte viii have charge of the
matter of where and at what prices milk and hefers
can be procured.
This is definite action, and it is up to people,
to get right behind this proposition and boost for all it'll
is worth The Heppner papers will do their share, and
should not sumber sleep until there is established
right here in Heppner good big commercial creamery
We have the country, the climate the feed, and all
the surroundings to make it a grand success.
WE WILL HAVE THE CREAMERY-AND AFTERI
