ALLEN, PATENTEE
OF FRUIT DRYER, TALKS.
Has Established 150 Evaporating
Plants In Northwest Operates
Dryers in All Leading Fruit Raising
Localities In Oregon, Washington
and Idaho.
W. K. Allen, of Newberp, Or., who
Is largely Interested in the Allen &
Cobb fruit dryer near the O. R. & N.
depot, is in Walla Walla for a few
days, studying conditions and looking
into the future prospects of the prune
business in the valley, snys the
Statesman. Mr. Allen can safely lay
claim to the title of being the pioneer
fruit dryer in the Northwest. He is
interested in 50 or more dryers in Or
egon, Washington and Idaho and has,
since embarking in the business, been
instrumental in establishing more
than 150 dryers, principally In the
Willamette valley.
He is the patentee of the Allen
fruit dryer, with which nearly every
plant he has established, is equip
ped. "My trip to Walla Walla at this
time is to study conditions," Mr. Al
len said to a reporter for the States
man this morning. "Our plant here
did not do as well last season as the
company would have wished, princi
pally for the reason that we could
not get the green fruit Commission
men outbid us a trifle and conse
quently secured about all the prunes
that were raised. Our plant here has
a capacity of 10 cars of dried fruit,
but as it was our output last season
was only two cars, a condition highly
unsatisfactory.
"Of course we like to see growers
find a market for their green fruit,
but at the same time we would like
to be able to buy enough to work
the plant to its fullest capacity."
Mr. Allen established 'wo plants in
the Boise valley in Idaho last year,
one at Beatty and the other at Meri
dan. "Our Boise plants have opened
up a new industry in that section,"
he said. "Last year was the first
year we operated the plants, but we
distributed $18,000 among growers
during the season. We nought IS
tons of green fruit paying $10 a ton,
the same price as we paid here in
Walla Walla."
Mr. Alleu says he has no trouble
in finding a market for his output.
Of last year's output he has only two
carloads of French prunes on hand.

Richest Vein in th History of the
Sumpter Mines.
The entire upper camp was thrown
into a fever of excitement by the au
thenticated report today of another
rich strike in the Golconda mine
which promises to exceed anything
yet opened in that property in the way
of gold bearing quartz, says the
Morning Democrat of Monday. A tel
ephone message was received from
the mine early in the day by Secretary
Howard. A little later a courier ar
il ved at tiie secretary s ofhee with a
bag of samples of the new ore which
fairly dazzled the eyes of those per
mitted to see them.
The strike was made on the 300-foot
level and was in a shoot run into
what was known as the "pure gold
streak," discovered three years ago
and which had never been found since.
The quartz is literally filled with nat
ural gold and will run above $10,000
to the ton. If the streak continues
for any distance there is no telling
the amount of wealth that will be
taken out.
As soon as the strike was discov
ered the men working in that shoot
were transferred to another part of
the mine and old and tried employes
put in their places.

John Day Streams Are Much Sought
These Days.
John Day's numerous branches
seem to be assured several water pow
er plants for generating electricity,
says the Sumpter American. Presi
dent Costelio, of the Advance, says
it is the purpose of the management
to acquire all possible rights on the
stream flowing by the Storm King,
which will be for use by the proper
iy, and also if there appears to be a
market in Sumpter, to generate elec
trlcal energy for the public.
The John Day, rising on the divide
immediately opposite the dralnange
system flowing by Sumpter. is the
nearest source of electrical energy
generated by water power to be had
beyond the Powder basin. Several lo
cations have been made on the head
waters of the John Day already, and
several more are assured this spring.
water power is coveted by the man
who peers intently into the future, for
the time is assured when fuel will be
costly and mining on many of the low
grace propositions will be prohibitive
unless a cheap energy is available.
