Work is to begin Monday on the
erection of a building for a newly or
ganized cooperative creamery at Am
erican Falls. A site has been selected
on Fourth street, near the river, the
recently constructed storm sewer pro-
viding the necessary sanitation and
drainage required under the strict in
spections Of state and government
health agents now enforced. The es-
timated cost of the building and equip
ment is $4,000.
The site, lots 2S, 29 and 80, block Z,
were donated by Philbrick & Green
wood.
w. G. Searles, western manager
of the Pressprich Company of New
York, has been here for several weeks
recuperating his health and devoting
his time leisurely to the organization
Of the company. During that time he
has driven his car more than 1900
miles between Sterling and Landing
and has had an excellent opportunity
to study the resources of the country
He has found from 1000 to 1900 milk
ing COWS in this territory and predicts
that the number will more than dou-
BILE in two years. Although engaged
In the business of establishing cream
cries for many years he says the ter
ritory Tributary to the creamery is
greater in magnitude and diversified
possibilities than any in the Pacific
northwest he has been in or knows of.
The irrigated sections of the northwest
depend for success upon the COW and
her products. In the wheat growing
localities the increase in dairying will
be surprise because of the diversi-
fication it will make possible, and Mr..
Searles believes that creameries are
essential If not absolutely necessary
to the success of the wheat farmers.
Pressprich & Company have asked
for the privilege of supplying a cream
cry man for the first year, and have
been granted the privilege. 1t is the
policy of the company to make every
creamery established by any of its
agents successful. The man who will
come will not be a butter maker only,
but one capable of making the by-pro-
ducts, ice cream, matted milk, etc,
material sources of revenue and see TO
It that the creamery's products go into
the market as perfect articles and
standard in every way. The company
is willing to guarantee a market for
the output, but when the fact is con-
etdered that Idaho annually imports
$7,000,000 of dairy products, and
Washington and Oregon about s12,-
100000 each, using butter from Aus
tralia and New Zealand, as we'll as
from Wisconsin, Kansas and elsewhere !
a market viii not be hard to find for
a standard product
Adolf Mueller, superintendent OF
construction for Pressprich & Co, who
has, for eighteen years past, been
building creameries in thirty states,
