Inability TO secure a sufficient water

pany now has $500 policy holders,
each policy holder becomes member
of the association. They confine
their operations to Western Washing
ton and Kittitas county. They &C
cept only farm property, country
schools and community halls. 1t
costs $500 to become a member of
this association. The company is
incorporated under the state law, has
no capital stock, being purely mutual.
The trustees, though living in differ
ent parts of the state, are paid only
travelling expenses to attend the an
nual meetings. The president re-
ceives two cents for each $1,000 of in
surance written and the treasurer re-
ceives one and one-half cents for each
$1,000 paid. The secretary receives
salary of $3.50 per month. showing
that the salaries are merely nominal.
January l, 1914, the company had in
force So, O02, $40 of insurance, and in
1913 the losses we're but $4,000. Every
third annual meeting is held at
Enumclaw only. The next meeting
will be held in January at Puyallup.

butterfat is per cent. There are
however, quite number of men who
are now raising Holsteins and Guern-
seys. The company is doing an an
nual business of $3.50. 600, or about
800, 900 per month. The milk is all
separated at the farms and delivery
teams are used to haul the cream to
the creamery. Butter made by this
creamery commands a price one to
two cents above the best creamery
butter made elsewhere, Owing to
their up-to-date facilities for hand
ling sweet cream such splendid ar
tlcle has been produced that the Sc
attic, Tacoma and Spokane creamery
men are taking practically the en-
tire supply and have been for the
past two years.
Price of Butterfat
During the past year the price of
butterfat at this creamery averaged
about two cents per pound higher
than elsewhere in the state. The fol-
lowing prices we're paid during the
year: January. At cents per pound;
February, 46 cents; March AZ cents;
April, 40 cents; May, 35 cents; June.

40 cents; November, 43 cents, and
December, 48 cents. These prices
are net to the farmer. The company
paid for the hauling and in addition
last year built splendid cold storage
plant at cost OF $6OOO which was
all paid out of the profits of the con-
Germ The plant now receives about
$50 gallons OF cream per day.
Successful Insurance Company
The Farmers Mutual Insurance
Company of Enumclaw has a most
surprising record. This company
was Incorporated in 1898. The otfi-
GERS at the present time are Geo.
Bruhn, president; Otto Tamm. vice
president; S. l.. Sorenson, secretary
and manager; Nels Brons, treasurer.
A board of five trustees has the gen.
eral supervision Of this company, but
the real success of this company has
been due to Mr.. Sorenson. The COM
pany was organized by Mr.. Sorenson
and Mr.. Bruhn and Mr.. Sorenson has
had the management of the company

losses have been paid to date on the
nominal payment OF 20 cents per
hundred dollars insurance.
The Enumclaw Rochdale Company
''Let us work together" is the bat
tie cry of the Enumclaw Rochdale
Company. another successful cooper
alive company Of this community,
and has shown what the people can do
when they really decide to help them
selves in the matter of cooperating In
buying and selling. The Enumclaw
Rochdale Company was incorporated
May 6, 1905 with shares at $25 each.
The present officers are 10. Yerxa,
PRESIDENT; Chas. F. Johnson, vice
president; Louis Nicholas, secretary.
These with p. j. Johnson and j. A.

The treasurer and manager is Petrus
Nelson. The business was started
with $50, 600 in subscriptions but not

The community of Enumclaw and
town of some 1000 Inhabitants, stu
ated in the extreme southeast corner
of King county, contains without
doubt the best organized cooperative
body of farmers in the state of Wash
ington, excepting possibly those of the
PuyaIlup and Sumner valley. Indeed
it is doubtful if there is a community
in the United States of equal popula-
ton so imbued with the uplifting
spirit of cooperation as the farmers
in and about the town of Enumclaw.
This little town is the home of the
Enumclaw Cooperative Creamery
Company, the Farmers Mutual In
surance Company, the Enumclaw
Rochdale Company, the Enumclaw
Fruit Growers Association and the
Peoples State Bank. Everyone of
these associations are based upon the
cooperation of the citizens of the
vicinity, and everyone of them is sue
cessful beyond the average association
of this kind in any other part of the
country. Perhaps the reason of the
great success of these cooperative
societies in this community arises
largely from the fact that the leading
men of the different societies are
men who were born in foreign coun-
tries, where the cooperative spirit
has been in successful operation for
generations. The leaders of these
societies are largely men who were
born in Denmark. Sweden, Holland
or Germany. They have become
+ha sol Of orio oil
and are proud of their community
and proud of the splendid cooper
alive success they have achieved and
we'll they might be for it is pleasure
indeed to visit them and learn of
their successes in an economical way,
where so many have failed.
Enumclaw is a beautiful town stu
ated on high prairie, being reached
both by the Northern Pacific and the
Milwaukee railways. The prairie on
which this town was built was former
ly covered with timber and practical
ly all of the beautiful farms now sur
rounding the town have been hewed
out of the evergreen forests common
to Western Washington.
Home of the Dairy Cow
This prosperous community owes
the greatest part of its success to the
humble dairy cow Its original start
came from the large lumber mills
which cut the timber. AS fast as the
timber was cut the dairymen occupied
the land and more than 300 dairy
COWS have been the basis of the sue
cess of the pioneers who followed the
lumber camps.
The Enumclaw Cooperative Creamery
Company
This cooperative creamery COM
pany is one of the cooperative COM
panies which prove that cooperation
can be made a success where the
dairymen have learned the benefits of
real cooperation. The officers at the
present time are Otto Tamm, presi-
dent; p. j. Johnson, vice president;
II. T. Montgomry, secretary; Otto
Bruhn, treasurer. These four, with
Hans Nielsen, form the board of
trustees. This association has been
in successful business for Ii years,
the past seven years under the man
agement of d. Van Patten, one of the
most successful buttermakers in the
state. The company now has 250
patrons. majority of them are rails
ing jersey COWS on which the average

conducted and prosperous and one
of the big mercantile establishments
of the town. They are employing II
clerks and drivers to deliver to all
parts of the town and surrounding
country. 1t has a large and varied
stock, carried at all times, worth at
invoice price about S35, 900. They
own a splendid building and have no
debts except their monthly accounts
To show the splendid growth of this
concern we present a few figures:
The net gain from January 1905 to
January 1906 in business done was
S1789 %; for year ending January 1,
1907, $4278. SO; for year ending Janu-
airy l, 1908, S., OS5. 70; for year ending
January l. 1909, So, 645. SO, for year
ending January l, 1910, 1925. 66; for
year ending June, 1911. SO, 1877. 10;
for year ending June, 1912, $40. $50
and for year ending June, 1913,
81, 500.
The rate of dividends to purchasers
of the store averages about per cent.
The first year of business it averaged
per cent; the second year per
cent; the third year per cent and
the fourth year per cent. The fifth
and sixth years a sinking fund was
created and per cent was returned
in dividends to purchasers. The
store does not conhne it's business to
the members. A large number of
citizens of the unity trade at
the Rochdale store. This store does
not cut prices, but simply returns to
the members the earnings above
actual expenses. Outsiders get no re-
fI1r
date interest and dividends to the
members have totaled S18, 800. The
store is managed along the same lines
as the Rochdale stores which have
had such a wonderful growth in Eng
land.
Peoples State Bank
The Peoples State Bank is not
strictly a cooperative affair like the
others mentioned in this article. 1t
is, however, owned mostly by farmers
and men who are interested in the
other cooperative societies of the
community. The present officers are
b. f. Ribler, president; Otto Tamm,
vice president; j. w. Davis, cashier.
This bank was organized April Is,
1910, with 60 stockholders with SIS,
600 capital, and now has S145, 600 on
deposit.
The Enumclaw Fruit Growers
Association
Enumclaw also has a successful
fruit growers association. This was
incorporated in 1906 with a capital
stock of $500 This stock has been
increased to $40. 600. In 1906 build
ing site was bought and a cannery
erected and small pack Of fruit was
put up. This has had a steady growth
until added capital has been invested
and additional buildings erected.
The association has 200 mem bers with
shares at So 90 each. The business is
run entirely on cooperative plan
and has been uniformly successful.
1t must be remembered that these
cooperative societies are not the only
successful lines of business in this
community Several other large
mercantile stores are supplying the
wants of the people and the State
Bank has on deposit about S160, 600.
There is also being constructed at
this time a condensed milk factory.
This with the numbering industry and
the large coal mines in close proxim-
ity. make the future of this COM
munity one of the brightest in the
state.
