The firm of Uilea and Co., of Salem lease I the plant early in the season and for the past six weeks the institution has heen the scene of much activity. Mr. K. L. Giles had the work in bia hand ; and he hae had bia hands pretty full. To a Plaindeaier man he said : "We have born more than pleased with the results of tbis season's business. We did not expect very much and we have had much more than we had any reason to expect. Thus far we have shipped out fifteen cars of dried prunes, sending them to various eastern Chicago, Duluth, New Orleans and other places. And we have been deligt ed with tbe kind of fruit that we have heeu getting. Although tte quanity waa not wbat we might have wanted, yet, on tbe whole it haa been a very good year for the grower, as well as for the shipper, fcr tbe quality has been Mm ply superb and tbe prices have been correspondingly good, so that, on the whole, the returns have really been belter than during some so-called "good" yeare, when crop waa large and price was poor. "Much of the time we have had from twenty to thirty people employed, time giving out quite a goodly amount ol , money. The work hc been very satis factory and the goods have opened tbe eyes of our friends, as to Douglas county fruit.

Van Pelt, un attorney olOhio, has heeu engaged by the Anti-Saloon League, ol Oregon, to assist in the legal department, and will arrive the latter part of the month, remarks a Portland paper. He will devote all his time to Anti-Saloon League work, ami will have his headquarters in Portland. Dr. ti. L.

"The lending citizens of all the counties are Isdiind the rganizations," said Dr Tufts. " The plan is to have the county chairman and the chair man for each pterin, t and the committee for each municipality! work together (or the nomination and election Jol the host available candidate, for those o(- coasl trip of the tourist. Neither would it bu fair to expect the touriBt to ex tend his journey to Oregon at this par ticular season if he were looking for pleasant out door life. Just now south ern California is having its inning and Oregon's part of the game will come later on." said William McMurray, at eietant general paaeeuger agent of Ore gon lines. "The plan of the Southern Pacific's 1 100,000 advertising campaign for tour ist travel did not contemplate giving much attention to the Oregon eection tbie winter. It ie not deemed auviaable lo attempt to draw the tourist from Southern California to Oregon at this season of the year. The idea ie to lead the tourist along to Portland in the spring, after they are doue with their Southern Calitornia vieit. Heretofore tourist travel to southern Calitornia has returned east by the Ogden route. It is now pioposed hy the company to re turn them via Portland auil over the Oregon Railroad & Navigation compa ny's lines. It give- the Southern Pacitic the longer haul, helps Oregon and Port land and we believe will be to the hen. -tit of eastern people, many of whom will become familiar with the great resourc es of this state and perhaps settle or invest here."
