Freewater Elevator Sold and Irrigation Plans Unveiled
Freewater notes that the Pacific Coast elevator near Milton has sold for 900 to the Paddock Mill Company and will move to the mill site for grain and flour storage. A new irrigation system will pump water from wells to a 300,000 gallon tank and distribute via 2 inch and 1/2 inch pipes with hydrants across a berry tract, enabling efficient watering. Street access will open where the elevator stood, joining Milton and Freewater. A. S. Pearson aims to secure right of way deeds for an electric line westward, while 40 acres of land west of the city will be developed into small tracts. Farmers and orchardists plan a strong exhibit at the Pendleton-Walla Walla fair, noting thriving young orchards and an expected 300 acre increase in orchard area this year.
