Prosperous Cooperative Creamery
NJ. ALEXANDER. Governor

From the Gem State Rural:
The Boise Cooperative Creamery
company operates two cheese factor
les. namely, the Meridian cheese fac
tory and the Eagle cheese factory.
The former, located at Meridian,
opened its doors June 18th, 1914.
and the latter at Eagle, May Srd,
1915. Up to the present time the
company has made very creditable
showing, the success of the plants
as stated by Manager Sheilenberger,
being largely due TO the fact that
the patrons have taken an interest
and pride in producing good quail
ity OF milkEach patron being a
stakeholder, every effort Is put forth
to handle the milk according to in
struction given by the cheese makers
Mr.. Washburn is the cheese maker
at the Meridian factory, and Joe
Radenet, at Eagle. ana they are like
wise entitled to generous credit for
the showing made. The present out
put OF cheese is about 1900 pounds
daily. For the month of July the
Meridian factory received 322.260|
pounds of milk. and the other fac
tory 157,342, The Meridian plant
was, however, compelled to decline
70 receive milk, during June and
July owning to the fact that 1t was
hpfrt0 al an 10 20 e,tIl nj ~
Some plan will probably be devised
another year to relieve the milk
situation, yenlarging the equip
ment, or by establishing another
cheese factory.
About every is days car OF
Purity" cheese is now shipped to
the Spokane market, which goes
into regular channel worked up
there, for Purity cheese. The pop
ularity OF this brand is shown by
the statement of Manager Shellen-
berger that it is difficult. at times,
to fill the demand for it.
An ice making machine has been
installed at the Meridian plant,
where all the cheese is cured This
is done for the purpose of maintain
ing an even curing temperature,
during the summer months. which
so far. has given excellent results,
The aim of the management is to
have thoroughly modern plants and
equipments, so that the output shall
be OF even. uniform quality the ~
months OF the year.
The officers and directors are T.
II. McDermott. president;J. w. Jones
vice-president; r. c. Pfaffie. treasur-
er and Fl. J. Renk.
At the meeting of the school board
OF District No. 33 (Meridian) held
last Monday evening, Trustees Watts
and Flack formally laid aside the
cares OF office, and the two new mem
bers, l.. II. Lynn and Allen Wilcox,
took up the work. The new board
ganized, and reelected j. S. Dewhirst
chairman and III. b. Powers clerk for
the coming year This is wise choice
as they have given good service, and
especially in the case of Mr.. Powers,
great deal of time and attention has
been devoted, in an effort to keep the
district records in shape.
