Pendleton Cannery Idea Sparks Regional Growth Hope
Merchants and farmers discuss establishing a Pendleton cannery to serve Milton and Hermiston with fruit from Freewater and government lands.

Some social commentary on tobacco habits and civil service reform closes with reflections on politics and Morgan’s script notes.
