Machinery for Such an Industry in Cor vallis has Arrived There is. at the Southern Pacific depot here a carload of machinery which is new to this county, being the first of the kind to be brought to this locality. r It is consigned to Robert Johnson, who organized the Benton County Processing and Prune Packing Company. For the reception of this and other machin-, ery to arrive soon, the building of which the Kaupisch creamery oc cupies a portion, has been , secured." It is a three story structure conven ient to both rail and river transpor tation and was originally a ware house. The present shipment of machin ery for the processing and packing plant consists of a grac?er, a proces sor, elevator for the latter, floor trucks, wheelbarrows and many minor articles of equipment for the plant The main elevator which, is to convey the unprocessed dried fruit to the third story is yet to ar rive. A large part of the wood work of the plant i to be con structed here. ' Power for operat ing the machinery is to be provided by the boiler and engine now in use at the creamery. The grader is a large one to be operated by steam power. It is 25 feet long, about 6 feet high and 6 or 7 'feet wide, is arranged to separate five grades of Italian prunes. Each grade issues from a spout. A New Century processor is another large piece of machinery of the plant. It 12 feet long 4 feet high, and three feet wide. An el evator and. automatic feeder places the fruit in this machine at one end and a spiral conveyor carries it through a bath of steam and liquid which thoroughly cleanses the fruit and otherwise prepares it for pack ing. , The spiral conveyor deposits the prunes onto a shaker and drain and when the process is completed the fruit is deposited in bins and is ready for boxing while yet warm. In the meantime the operation ' of "facing" the packing boxes is go ing ' on. This consis t s -in working single prunes by hand into a pliable consiste njc y and carefully placing several over-i lapping layers in a box. This box is then placed in a press, filled from a bin, the fruit pressed tightly, af ter which the box is covered and nailed. The packing is done in a manner so that when the top of the box is removed, the facing is ex posed and the fruit presents a, x&zx ular, even and attractive surface. Box labels to be used here'are the best and most attractive which can be procured anywhere, and there is not the least doubt that the prunes processed and packed here will bring the very highest market price. ' For all grades . of prunes there is a difference of one half cent per pound in that properly proces sed and packed, and that sold in iSacks from the drier as .has been the custom of Benton county . growers heretofore The difference in price in favor of the processed and packed crop is distributed at home to the packers, other industries and labor in communities where such plants are in operation. Heretofore oth er locations have received this ben efit from prunes grown and dried j in. Benton county.,' ' ! The packing season here will be about two months and during that time several men and perhaps 25 girjs and women will be employed It will be necessary for ' the com pany to employ an expert packer to teach the employes the business. The, company can pay only so much per box for packing and at first the packers will be able to ! make only very small wages, but as they become more expert they can pack more ' boxes for which they will receive corresponding pay. i his company expects to handle almost or quite all the prunes m the county., Prune driers are making prepar ations for a large crop this season. All indications point to this result and altogether the outlook for the prune business is better than ever .before. - - . j 1 Dissolution of Partnership. The partnership heretofore existing between R. H. , Huston and William Bogue in the general hardware and im plement business is this day . mutually dissolved.. Mr. Bogue, on account of the ill health of his son, retiring from the firm, Mr. Huston continuing ' the business in his own name at the same place. '. . 1 They join in thanking the public for the liberal trade ard patronage received at their hands, and express the confident hope that the business will continue to prosper in the future as it has , in the past.. : Dated, Corvallis, Ore., July rst, 1903. .
