CEMENT FACTORY
TODOUBLE CAPACITY

We doubt if there are many peo-
pie in this locality who really know
the immensity of the Sun Portland
Cement Co., at Lime. Oregon. five
miles west of Huntington. One would
get but a meager idea of the plant
and the hundred of tons of machin-
cry in operatin, by just passing
by on the regon highway which
goes through te yards. The
Editor and family accompan-
led by Mr. w. L. Spotswood
and B. L. Wells, were kindly shown
through the plant Sunday afternoon
by Mr.. McClanahans~ former resi-
dent of Payette, who is now en-
ployed by the company. Cement is
a simple product but the process in
its making is not SO simple and re-
quires an immense amount of mas
siye machinery. II is we'll worth
ones time to go through the plant
The company now employs 125 men
and will soon begin the construction
of another unit OF equal size, at
cost of over one million dollars.

TO START MONDAY

Col. Patch manager of the Ida
no Canning Company, informs us
that about Monday of next week
operations will start on the big
pea crop with the largest business in
sight since the organization of the
company. The pea acreage will
double that of any previous year,
and corn acreage will be nearly three
times what it has ever been, and the
most encouraging part of it all,
every can to be put out by the com
pany this season was contracted for
before the seed was in the ground,
and at good prices, say nothing of
orders for 80 car loads of corn more
than the company can fill. Mr..
Patch also says at least three addi-
tional silos will be built this year to
take care of the pea vines and corn
husks, the ensilage also being con-
tracted for at a good price.
This is one of the industries of
this community that should have the
full support of the people. 1t will
furnish employment for at least 100
people during the entire season, and
every dollar received by this institu-
ton is brought in from outside ter
ritory.
Mr.. Patch, who has very recently
inspected the crops reports the pea
crop very good regardless of the un-
favorable warm weather during
May, and the corn over the entire
acreage is an excellent stand with
propects for a bumper crop.

A GOOD CROP AFTER ALL

The frost got the apples, but 1t
had no effect on the crop at the
James Stanton home, Tuesday, June
10. 1924 marked the evidence of this
fact, an eventful day at the Stanton
home, when two little daughters
came just to make an even half doz-
en-, five daughters and one son. There
must have been some mistake in
placing the order. They should have
been boys.

RAIN AT LAST

After sixty days of continued dry
weather, this section was visited
with an all night rain on Friday of

have been partially irrigated. 1t was
also a great benefit to the range
