2 QUAKER OAIS COMPANY Will Establish a Million Dollar Plant in Inland Empire. The Qiiker Oats Co. is looking over the Pacific North went having in view the establishment of a million-dollar plant to manufacture their producth here. Thin DMH a great deal for the community securing the plant; not only that, it mean* much for the srate as a whole, an it in factories the Far West need*, less boom talk, A friendly rivalry has sprung up for the locatiou of the plant, in winch Whitman county towns have jumped into the ring n:ni are off-r --ing inducements io the way of laud, favorable locations, etc. Why not? Whitman rouuty is the largest wheat - producing county in the btate, also grow? a great abutidauce of oatH, and can easily take the lead in growing that cereal if inducement is offered to grow more of it. It would »eein, therefore, that Whitman county is THE place for the location of the Quaker Oats plant, a fact, undoubtedly well known to the Qlaker Oats people. The Gazette is not whooping it up for aßy particular local ity, any further than that it wants to see it come to Whitman county, the greatest cereal-produciug county in the state. Towns in Line for Plant. Pullman is making a strong tff irt to secure the location of the factory in that burg. We are told that a committee of the chamber of commerce "is gathering data and statistics to be forwarded to the company," and that the chamber "has the promise of the company that the adv*ntages offered by Pullman will be investigated." That sounds encour aging. Elberton, Oakesdale, Rosalia and Wav erly also want the plant. While Wav erly is juet outside the county limits of Whitman, Htill the relationehip is ho close and communication so easy that no tears would be shed if the erstwhile sugar beet factory town gets the priz . The sugar beet factory is closed and will probably remain closed indefinitely. The residents of Waverly point out that the building and 40-acre site of the sugar factory is adaptable. Rosalia's claim for the factory is based upon the fact that it is in "the very heart of the oat country, with outlets over three railroad**, besides other things of equal importance which should be considered." Oakesdale is an active bidder for the plant. The commercial club is collect ing data, which will be sent to the Quaker Oats company, including blue prints. It is pointed out that "Oakes dale is in the heart of the Palouee and the oat production here is enormous. Buyers from Spokane, Pullman and other towns in the Palouee come here to buy oats aud pay a premium." Mayor Berkstresser of E'berton hap written to the Quaker Oits company offering them a site if it will locate the million dollar plant there. The site offered is the preseut picnic grounds owned by the town. The tract com prises some 16 or 20 acres and is located on the banks of the North Paloune river. It is regarded us an admirable location, and in cape additional ground is needed it can easily he obtaioed. The water power ndvautag-H nre especially good at this point, aud with little expense can be developed to meet almost any needs for a factory of thin kiuri. A mass meet ing of citiz^us indorsed the action of Mayor Berkstresser in this matter. In this connection the Fulouse Re public rises to remark: "If the North west i« to have such » factory there is no particular reason why the advantage* of Palouse should not be brought to the attention of the company. The matter should be tnk"n up by the Business Men's Association at the meeting next week Colfax Is Ideal Location. This matter should receive the atten tion of the Colfax Commercial Club and that right hw.hv. Colfnx in a commercial center, and can offer inducements for the plant second to no other town. Let us jubilate with the victor, which ever one it may be. THE EIGHTH GRADE EXAMS. Names of Those Who Will Soon Get Diplomas.
