T. T. Goer, who visited frlemU bere res
terdey, was much interested iu ibe new
development of Ibis corirjly, now list be
ginning. In discussing the recent elec
lions witb ao Otegonlan representative
be said:
"While la recent rears it bs lcoine
somewhat onasusl fur a president to be
attained Ly tbe popular elections dur
ing Ibe first balf of bis term, I was not
surprised by tbe expression of tbe
American people lavt Toesday. Neither
tbe free-giver man nor the popu
Hat ever prom ol gated bis peculiar ideas
on tbe money question, txcept as a
remedy fcr hard time. He discovered
ao ailment and proposed an alleged
remedy but before be bad an opportunity
to apply bis remedy lb ailment bad dis
appeared, and this year le found bituielf
io ibe role of a j tack dvjetor preaching
to a community enjoying health that is
giatilyioKly robust.
''The decided stand Uken ly ibe Wei-t-
ern states sod especially by California and
Wasbiogton In following tbe example set
by Oregon last June, in iavor of a oon-
fiuctosting currency, is an advanced
step in support of tbe beat interests of
every citlxen ol the United fttaiea. This
is trne not only aa to tbe money ques
tion, but tbe emphatic expression of the
people of the great Middle Went and of
the Pacific states in favor of maintaining
American supremacy over territory se
cured through tbe loss of Americas
Llood and treasure, means tbe 1 ztecsion
of American trade, the upbuilding of do
mestic industries, and an improved con
dition of oar people generally... .. ,
"Ye, I have been around tbe state a
good deal lately, and the people general
ly are busily employed, and not eogaged
In that meaaars of complaint that char
acterized them a few years sgo, I do not
find sny idle men anywhere.
"In the business activity that perme
ates the state at present, I think no
county is ahead of Union, aud her nat
ural resources, coupled witb that enter
prise si ber citizens that baa started ber
magnificent sugar factory, will keep ber
well in tbe front rank among the coun
ties of this, tbe best sUie in tbe Union."
ABOUT PRUNE DRIERS.
A riyrtle Creek Man Has Some Good
Ideas.
To tub Koirou: In tbe I'laixdaleb
ol Nov.l4b, I saw an item suggesting
tbst Oregon pruues properly grown and
properly dried might come to tbe front,
but if poorly grown aud badly dried tbey
would come into disrepute. There facts
I have noticed tor several years.
Firstly, the trees, especially in the old
orchards, are too close together to give
proper sunshine and nutriment to pro
duce a good-sised prune, and especially
when tbe tree is allowed to get too much
top. Secondly, my experience for the
last forty years in constructing arches
for generating steam, kiln for drying
lumber, etc., shows a defect in tba mode
of heating the dryers. Also my experi
ence in constructing Hues to cause a cur
rent of air to take powder and smoke cat
of deep mining shafts shows me tbsl the
beat wasted from tbe pipes running up
outside of tbe dryer, is sufficient, it tboss
pipes were run up inside ol a tall hot air
escape flue, to create a draft that woul 1
take tbe air and steam from (he fruit
chamber so rapidly that tbe fruit would
not even feel moUt. Whereas, lu tbe
common box dryer the air and steam
hangs like a fog, stands on Ibe fruit,
mixes with tbe sugar cr eaturine matte'
tod drips on to tbe crown sheet, w asting
tbe heft, burning and smoking Ibe fruit
and it cornea out black, smoked and
sticky, to go aa second, third or fourth
rate, 01 rejected entirely io the market.
Instead of tbe air going op through the
dense mass of prunes from one tray to
another to steam and black the fruit, the
current of air should go lengtbwite of
tbe kiln betweeu tbe tray, and tbe warm
or hot atr cannot 110 to rapidly to take
away lbs moisture ss fast aa it comes
eot, Isaviog tbe fruit cleau and bright.
All of the old drjere and nearly all tbe
new ones have been const ructed without
a knowledge of the two piinclples, name
ly, generating aud applying heat to tbe
best advautage, and creating a current
of air, tbe two essential principles iu
drying anything.
Wood cannot be bnrut to advautaite
without grates. A set of four foot grates
with an ash pit or air rooms below, aud
a bridge wall rising from the grates for
two feet, to within teu inches of the
crown sheet, thou contiuuo a gradual
rise to tbe opposite end ol the dryer to
wilhln four Indies ol the crown aheot,
bugs the heat up wheie It nhotiM be and
boms most or all of tbe smoke. From
thence rrtaroing in pi pel to tbe linide
front of the dryer ti be pad npward
through a sheet iron floor that separates
tbe hot air chamber from the frnit
chamber, and loti the hot air escape
floe that tbe air and steam from the
Slid of tuw fruit uiinjhr opens into.
Thus, instesd of the moiet air from the
fruit having to push its way op through
cold air, tbe pipes heat thnair in the
eirape flue, cauaing a draft that creates a
swift enrrent of air constantly passing
through tbe frnit chamber to take away
the moisture ae fast as it exodee from
the frnit so tbst it will not drip or hel
tnoiat. Witb ao rapid a enrrent tbe air
Is changed ao fast that there 1 very
little danger of burniog the frnit.
Tbe plan for conetroetiog a fruit drysr
that I have in this article set forth is
not haeed on untried theories, but on
principles well known to those w bo are
versed in caloricaa. It is at wood er
that fruit men have rat and tried and
worked in tbe dark all this time for
want of knowledge of tbe right princi
ple to work on. When we think ol tbe
old school pbjsiciane that went on hun
dred of years killing fever patients by
keeping water from them, and only
within a few years found out their error
and adopted enree baaed on correct
principles.
Any person intending to build a new
dryer or wishing to alter over their old
one can see a draft or plan by calling on
John R. Dicks three miles east of Myr
tle Creek Tillage, who will lake pleas
ure in explaining one that I left witb
him. Or if aayone wishes a draft plan
and explanation can have one by ad
dressing me at Myrtle Creek, for just
what time Is worth to do the work in
pencil, drswn to a scale.
