READ THE MORNING MAIL,
SPRAY PLANT COMPLETED.
J. A. Perry of this city has not
been making any great amount of
noise and fuss over the spray plant
which he has been putting up on his
40-acre tract of land west of Med
ford, but he has put under way one
of the best enterprises yet established
In the valley best in two ways, I. e .
more convenient for the users of
spray and a saving of freight on a
goodly amount of the material used.
The building which he has erected
is just about two miles west from
Medford, and alongside the Medford -Jacksonville
railroad. It Is 35x55
ftot In size and is 50 feet high to the
caves.
In this building there Is all the
machinery necessary for the manu
facturing of the famous Niagara
Kpray. There are two large tanks,
each with a capacity of 8,000 gallons,
and another tank to hold 6,000 gal
lons will be put In be rare the plant
Is put In operation. On the third
floor of the building Is the mixing
machinery, composed of several clev
erly devised pieces, which prepares
and mixes the ingredients which go
to make up the dealy poison so suc
cessfully used in battling with the
San Jose scale. On this floor there
Is also an eight-horse power engine,
which operates all this machinery,
the steam being provided by a 35
horse power boiler on the ground
licor. A friction elevator runs from
the uaseinent to the third story. This
Is operated by steam and is used in
conveying the raw materials to the
mlvlng room over the large vats.
After the Ingredients are properly
supplied they pass downward into a
large vat of hot water, where two
1 (7 1 a tnrn 'hnpnuirtilv mli fha lima
J sulphur and chemicals Into a uni
form solution. This solution Is then
drawn off Into cooling tanks, and
from there Into barrels In tho base
ment and Is ready for shipment.
Over the roof is a large tank which
will he kept filled constantly with
water for use case of fire In the
solution. This tank Is provided with
ffro hose which will roach to all parts
of the tfiftory.
The capacity of the plant will be
80 barrels every 12 hours, and the
market for the output of the plant
will cover all of Oregon as far north
as Kiigciio and northern California.
A 21 -foot well has been dug, and
so pl nl It itl Is water that two steam
pups cannot begin to handle the
supply.
A siding Is being put In nt the
plant and the carloads of manufac
tured prod net will bo brought to Med
ford over the Medford-Jacksonville
Short lino, and here diverted to Its
destination, north and south, over
the Southern Pacific.
This plant, when completed and
equipped for operation, will cost
I
9
B
ill
93
about $4,000. The name and style
of the Institution will be the Medford
Spray company, and Us business will
be exclusively the manufacture of Ni
agara lime and sulphur solution.
Associated with Mr. Perry In this
enterprise fe F. A. Fraxler of Port
land, who operates a plant of like
nature In that city, and who aloM
held the secret as to the chemicals
required to make this solution se
deadlly In Its destruction ot the 8aa
Jose scale and many fungua diseases
which prey upon our fruit trees.
These chemicals are not only very
effective In destroynng these fruit
pests, but they have in them prop
erties which prevent the sepa ratios
of the lime and sulphur. A barrel
of this solution may stand for years
and there will be no solldlfcatlon or
separation of the Ingredients.
Surely this 1s a great enterprise
for the orchard men of this valley,
and to Mr. Perry should be gives
every encouragement possible.

FIRST FIIIK IN TEN YEARS.
MONROE, Or., July 29. For the
first time in 10 yours Monroe has had
a fire. It occurred Saturday nooa
and destroyed the residence of
"Grandpa" Dennis, who with his wife
had settled there to spend their re
maining years. It Is supposed that
the fire .was caused from a detect!
kitchen flue. As it was just at the
noon hour little help could be had.
and the building and contents vers
consumed. At one time the livery
stable and an adjoining rcsldenea
were on fire, but by the bucket art-fcad-'
work those were saved.
The old people who were burned
out are poor and their sons, who
purchased this property for their pa
rents years ago, will erect another
borne for them.
