RftfU'K VALLEY CREAMERY
BUILDING NOW READ.
The Rogue Valley creamery is now
almost ready to commence the coin
ing of alfalfa Into your Uncle Sam
uel's legal tender, and within a few
days the institution will be turning
out the yellow nuggets In pound and
two-pound chunks to be exchanged
for other yellow ones with the mark
of U. S. upon them.
The creamery building proper is
completed, and all the machinery is
In place and will be ready to put In
motion with the setting of the motors
and connecting of steam pipes. The
structure la 30x50 feet In size, the
exterior being of neat bungalow ap
pearance, with cement plastered
walls. The interior is arranged wun
two features always In view, the first
cleanliness and attention to sanitary
conditions, and the other ease and
economy of labor. Except for the
office which ' Is entered from the
front, all the floors of the building
are of cement, and the walls are
mented for a height of four feet.
Above this the walls are plastered so
that there Is absolutely no stopping
place for filth or dirt within the
building. Steam from a hose can
be turned In any of the work rooms
and the walls and floors washed
clean In a few moments. All the
floors drain to a common sewer.
The cream will be handled by
gravity, no pumps being employed In
the building. The cream wagon will
drive upon an elevated platform at
the west side of the house, and from
there the fluid will find Its way to the
storage tanks and then to the great
churn ot 800 pounds capacity by
gravity.
An eight-horse power boiler has
been installed to supply the needed
steam for sterilizing and for other
purposes, and power for the plant Is
to be supplied by a ten-horse power
electric motor. The cedd storage
room Is 9x13 feet in dimensions, and
a modern compressor Is Installed to
furnish the arctic weather. This
compressor Is the same as Is used In
Ire-making plans. Place Is reserved
in one of the rooms for an ice cream
making plant, but this will not be In
stalled till another season, the ice
cream days now being near their
close for the present summer. The
making of ice cream will another
year be one of the important revenue
: producers for the creamery.
ARRANGING DETAILS OF
RAILROAD CONTRACT,
Matters connected with the build
ing of the new railroad to the coast
have been progressing during the
past few days, and the city council
has approved the making of a con
tract with the Interstate Construc
tion Co. for (he building of the first
unit to Wildervllle, which will be the
municipally-owned portion of the
line. This contract has not yet been
fully agreed upon as regards all of
its details, but it seems certain that
It will be completed within a few
hours. Under the contract as ap
proved by the council and by Mr.
Loftus for the construction company,
the company purchases the city bond
issue, and builds the railroad to
wiiaerviue, witn its equipment, up
on the basis of the figures made by
the engineers for the citv
i plans for the building of the road
through from Wllderv.lle to the
roa!)t( bllt th)g g of c0rse nQ part
of the contract with the city. The
promise has been given, however
that when the rlty and the interests
along the line meet the requests that.
have been made upon them for help,
jthe road will be built, and the Inter
; state company is building the ten
mile city-owned unit to operate In
conjunction with the completed line.
.The council has approved an option
or purchase, wherebv the ten mile
unit can be purchased bv the coast
. . ... '
, road people within three vears nt
, $200,000, and a lease has likewise
been given approval for the opera-
;tion of the ten-mile unit by the coast
road people In the Interim. Pending
the dosing of the contract the city

j grade a few miles out from town,
.and the California ppopleJvho are

vicinity of
