From Saturday's Pally
The meeting advertised for last
evening to take up the project for a
canning factory and alfalfa mill was
a success far beyond the anticipa
tions of its promoters. There was a
large and enthusiastic crowd of busi
ness men out, men with the right
spirit who came to the meeting in
tent upon doing something which
would place this city in its proper
place and give it some industries
which would make it independent
and flourishing. It was manifest
from the commencement that the
people who had braved the elements
and came down to the meeting
through the snow, had only one
thing in mind and that was the wel
fare of the city.
The meeting was called to order
by V. V. Coatcs. who briefly ex
plained that the meeting was called
to consider a proposition from Air.
T. II. Roberts for the establishment
of a canning factory and an alfalfa
mill. He then moved the selection
of Hon R. R. Windham as chairman
which prevailed unanimously and Air.
Windham took the chair.
In assuming the position Air.
Windham took occasion to remark
upon the splendid outpouring of the
representatives of the business and
commercial interests of the city,
stating that in all his forty-one years
residence in the city he had not
seen so representative a gathering.
He dwelt upon his own interests in
the city and declared unequivocally in
favor of any scheme which meant
i the upbuilding of the city and its in
j dustries. He took up the matter of
; a canning factory and cited facts
j and figures gleaned from the ex
perience of the surrounding cities
to show that this was a most excellent
place for an industry of this kind.
He referred to the mismanagement
which had wrecked the former indus
try of the kind in this city and ex
plained that that experience had not
shaken his faith in the stability or
success of the enterprise. As to the
alfalfa mill" proposition Air. Wind
ham was not so well informed but
from what he had seen and what he
had been told, he was certain that
such an enterprise could not help
but pay. The raising of alfalfa had
j already grown to an industry of more j
than respectable size and there was j
; no reason why it should not expand j
I and be made an industry which
t
would be highly profitable both to I
the people of the city and the
i farmers of the surrounding country.
lie cited a little field of this feed near i
the city which contained five acres i
and the four crops from which yield-
I ed some thirty tons. That this was j
j biphly profitable no one could deny. ',
j There was much more of Air. Wind- j
: ham's speech which space alone for- j
j bids giving the attention it deserves. J
It was a bright, happy, optimistic j
speech and one which breathed the
) right spirit a spirit of progres- j
siveness and go which if carried out
would make Plattsmouth a city in
truth.
Air. T. H. Roberts was then called
when he came as a representative of
I Grafton Johnson to investigate the
I possibilities of this city and vicinity
from a canning standpoint, and he
j went on to state that the several tired on December 1st, 1910, and a I make a highly profitable market for
tweeks spent here then convinced him like amount each succeeding Decern- j them but Air. Roberts declined to go
that this was an ideal location for j ber 1st, until the full amount had i to that length. He stated that they
I such an industry. He referred to the I been taken up with the privilege of i would have to pay the market price
j limitless possibilities of the surround- the company to retire the whole i for alfalfa no matter what it was. but
as it varied from $8 to $14 per ton,
ing country as a producing field for
jail those things which the canner de
j pended upon particularly the staples
I such as corn, peas, beans and toma-
toes. He had an array of facts and
! figures which went to show that this
city with its freight rates upon the
J AtlccAnr! ln-flr lincic l nncSltr
outstrip its eastern competitors. He
amount upon December 1, 1910, or
any succeeding year. The plant to
be erected was estimated by Air.
Roberts to cost $45,000 upon which
there was to be placed a mortgage to j
he did not feel warranted in guaran
teeing more.
William Barclay enquired if there
was any objection to making public
of bonds. The proposition which
the gentleman presented provided
that the people of Plattsmouth should
cited the fact that with all the man- take this $30,000 bond issue, sub
ifold products of this country at our
doors, the cost of canning must be
much less than in the east, while the
fact that we stood at the door of the
Omaha and Council Bluffs jobbing
houses made it certain that we had a
market practically at home. He ! should at all times have the power
secure the above mentioned $30,0001 the names of the proposed owners of
the company in addition to himself.
Air. Roberts stated that there was no
objection, that the $50,000 stock was
subscribed for by Air. W. W. Coates,
J. P. Falter and himself.
Other highly interesting and in
structive questions covering the pro
posed scheme of organization were
propounded by Alessrs. J. H. Sals
bury, Jos. AlcAIaken, G. L. Farley, F.
E. Schlater, T. H. Pollock and others
scribing the full amount and advanc
ing the money to three trustees for
the bondholders which they would
elect themselves and who should have
the supervision of the expenditure of
the money. These three trustees
of (loo. L,. Farlev
w-a.s empowered to f.r-t
business men as this committee.
meeting adjourned.
! This morning Air. Windham acting
j upon the authority given him by the
meeting appointed the following com
mittee which -vil! at once take up the
matter, .Messrs. C. E. Wescnf.t, C. C.
Parmele, F. E Schlater, Julius Titz
and Philip Theirlof.
The Journal in an effort to ascer
tain the general feeling of the busi
ness men concerning the proposition
efore them, interviewed a large num
ber of them and found that there was
an enthusiastic desire on the part of
all of them to secure this or enmo
similar industry for the city. They
jail wanted, however, to know that
there was going to be something go
I into the plant besides their own mon
ey and that seemed to be the shaky
point among them. However, the
work of the investigating committee
will put any doubts at rest that may
exist upon this score, as the members
composing the committee are the
best business men in the city. It is
a committee in which everyone will
have full confidence and Air. Wind
ham in its appointment made ideal
selections. It is not well to criticfe

can make more money raising pro-! of the company and ascertain the
ducts for the cannery than he could actual condition of the affairs of the
make in corn. There was much more I company. Air. Roberts urged imme
which space forbids upon the canning j diate acceptance of his proposition as
possibilities. He then took up the I he was compelled to return to his
alfalfa proposition and upon this line j home in Colorado today and he de
