Eagle, Jan. 3.-Through the location
of the Boise valley packing house at
Eagle, it is one of the best advertised
towns in the Pacific northwest. This
is one of the mast important industries
between Chicago and Portland and its
rapidly increasing proportions of bus
mess portend a wonderful future for,
it.
This last year it expended among the
farmers of the different sections of
the valley for cattle and hogs approx
imately $1,000,000, thereby providing
a market at home for these classes of
livestock. Here some sixty hogs are
killed and packed each day and last
month 100 head of cattle were killed
and packed away, this being about the
average number of livestock which is
packed each month. The plant has
been constructed along modern lines
and equipped with modern machinery.
Its site comprises IL acres on the Boise
river about a mile from the business
district of the town The plant con-
sists of two concrete buildings, both
of which are to be raised an additional
story within the next few months The
products of the industry find ready
market throughout the west and 1t has
ia number of travelling statesmen who
cover the trade territory of the entire
west in very systematic way.
EXPANDS RAPIDLY
During its existence of less than five
years this industry has assumed envi-
able proportions and abundantly evil
denced to the different cities and towns
of the valley that self capitalization of
the industries which are feasible for it
is entirely possible, for it is financed
by local citizens, the majority OF whom
are farmers and men of such financial
strength as TO insure its perpetuity.
The following are its officers: presi-
dent, Emmett Evans; vice president,
James N. DeChambeau; secretary, Will
liam Goodail; bopkkeeper, Samuel New
ton. Mr.. DeChambeau is the general
manager of the industry. Its capital
stock is 100000.
CHEESE FACTORY IMPORTANT
Another industry of the town which
contributes materially to the volume Of
its business is the cheese factory of
the Cooperative Creamery company of
Boise. 1t is now paying out to the
farmers of the valley approximately
| $4,000 each month for milk with which
to manufacture it's cheese. Here as
elsewhere in the valley the dairying
industry is rapidly growing and aiding
to the prosperity of the surrounding
country. A FIGURING mill with daily
] capacity of so barrels was installed in
the town the latter part of the last
! year and Is now operating with the
| fullest measure of activity. Surround
Ing Eagle and contributing to its sup
| port is a vast area of fine farming com
munity and the prosperity of the farm
ers of the different communities forming
the trade territory of the town is re-
| Elected through deposits in the one
bank of the town amounting to more
than 100000. One of the finest high
schools in southern Idaho is located
here and from various viewpoints the
town Is to be regarded as one of the
most desirable home towns in the val
| ley 1t is on the Interurban railroad
and a ride of only q few minutes carries
one to Boise, the capital of the state.
