that thia hae been an "oh year" in the
growing of prunes, yet the ran which
1 the Aiiecciation Packing House haa juet
made baa been one of much credit. 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.

twenty to thirty people employed, time
giving out quite a goodly amount ol ,
