gone over with the road machines,
the last culvert placed in position
and the bumps and rough places
levelled down. The new road only
needs a light fall Of rain and going
over with drag to put it in first

Benson has secured The Canning Factory
There is no longer any doubt of that. For two
or three weeks the fate. of the proposed new
enterprise has been hanging in the balance but
at last its establishment has been assured. The
proposition has been a live local issue With the
business men and others during the time, and
the subject of much discussion as to its bearing
upon the crop-growers the. towns prosperity
and as factor in attracting other Industries.
Through the combined efforts Of MeSsTs. ]. A.
Gumrr1ni,, H. 6. Brown, H. w. Etz, Chas. F. Moss
and Chas E. Goetz the plant was secured. They
worked increasingly for its success.
Mr. ]. N. Brent, of the Hastings Industrial
Company, Of Chicago, a company supplying can
ming factory machinery and supplies, has been
here furnishing data in regard to the equipment of
the proposed factory and giving other required
information. The sum OF seven thousand tive
hundred dollars, the amount of capital stock re-
quiste to establish the new enterprise, thanks to
the active campaign naugurated by the above
mentioned business men, has been fully sub
scribed. Mr.. Brent went into the, matter thor
oughly at his meetings with the business men,
and that his arguments Were convincing to ms
hearers is attested by the fact that the capital
could have been largely overzsubscribed. Not
only Benson but Pomefenej ST. DaV1d ana other

the deal. ft< t@s

is to have. the buildings completed and ready tor
operations about July 2oth, in time for the first
tomatoes.

to arrive tomorrow morning and it is likely that
work will begin early in the coming week. i.
