Independent Warehouses Formed to Bust Wasco Trust
The Wasco News reports the formation of the Independent Warehouse and Milling Company in Wasco County with 27 000 capital to handle grain storage and general warehouse business. Directors include Crosfield Booth and Bright with 650 farmers backing the venture to secure fair freight rates and attract rivals from Washington or California. The firm plans a 100 000 sack capacity and a future steel tank, plus expansion to other stations. The Wasco Milling company property transfers to a Christian church trust for a 160 acre Boise lot plan including a university campus and a $50 000 church building.
