Bogges at the home of w. H. Philpot
Monday evening practically assures
the members of the association of the
establishment of cannery to handle
their crops of tomatoes and beans this
season with the promise OF added ia
cilities and capacity accommodations
for the future.
| The association solicited Mr.. Bog
| CESS and found that he had the exper-
| fence, the willingness and finances in
| such quantity that he was able to
establish first class cannery of mod
crate size to be handled as his own
private business enterprise and that
he needed but little assistance and did
not put this want of help in the form
of bonus asked but rather in the
shape of temporary loan..
The site for the new cannery has
been located on the west part of lot
IL of East OrOville Orchards across
| the OkanOgan river north and a trifie
east of the creamery. The selecting
and choosing of this site was greatly
facilitated and assisted by the inter-
est of l.. l.. Work and D. R. Jackson
| who represented the orchards COM
pany and through whose generosity
| and hberality' this seiection was made
possible. Some may question the feas-
| ability of this site but Mr.. Boggess
stated some of the things he deemed
necessary for the ideal location of a
plant such as he wished to erect and
the present selection comes very near
ly fulfilling all of these special fea-
lures in the best possible sense
To some this may look like a pure
ly selfish and solely controlled plant
of the association but such is not the
case. The enterprise is being started
on a safe business basis and is ex-
pected to grow with the country and
as the OrOville Growers Association
is responsible for promoting this en-
terprise, backing Mr.. Boggess both
morally and financially if necessary,
and its members We're able to sub
scribe the required acreage at the
meeting Monday night to insure at
least a pack of 5000 cases of the best
grade of canned goods put on the
market in any country, Mr.. Boggess
felt justified in promising that he
would deal exclusively with members
of the association this first season.
While the present membership of the
association has agreed and is fully
able to grow the required acreage of
tomatoes, there are several members
who will be very willing to relinquish
part of their share to anyone wish
ing to join the association and take
advantage of this first seasons opera
tiOns.
The matter of the other proposed
cannery prOjectes was taken up and
discussed and when Mr.. Boggess was
asked if the proposed $4,000 plant as
e0I 1ryM ~
Ind, would in any way influence his
attitude he said that it would not in
any way do so as he knew that there
would have to be many canneries in
this valley eventually and that the in
crease only made business better for
all concerned and further that Mr..
Harris, so far as he had made his plans
public, was aiming to make peas his
principle pack. AS Mr.. Boggess ex-
poets to confine his pack to tomatoes.
beans, garden vegetables and fruit by
products there would not only be no
conflict between the two plants but
the OrOville Growers Association were
still in a position to hold good to their
acreage promise to Mr.. Harris and it
was the sense of the meeting that this
be done and that Mr.. Harris and those
working to secure his factory for Oro-
vile be thus informed.
Mr.. BOggess is an old and exper-
fenced cannery man, having been in
the business for himself for many
years, he came to this section of the
country last fall and has since given
careful attention to the many changed
conditions that confront the cannery
business in this locality and is very
open and frank in his dealings and
explanations of the ins and outs of
the business and those who are back
ing him with the promise of raw ma
terial are very enthusiastic in their
expressions that he is just the man to
make a success of the proposed ven-
| ture at this time.
, After admitting five new members
to the association the naming of the
principle throroughfares of East Oro-
! vile Orchards was taken up and dis
posed of for the present or until more
time could be given to the naming of
the balance of the streets and avenues.
