There is no shirking or "plsying
hockey" allowed there.
All commitments are for indefinite
terms. The ouly way a boy can get
out is to work his way out by good con-
duct.
Arriving at the age of majority, how
ever, he would be released. To become
eligible for release he must earn twelve
grades" each grade occupying q
month. The minimum time In school
is therefore IL months. The trades now
taught are tailoring, laundry work,
cooking, carpentering, teaming, tend
ing stock, farming, gardening, attend
ing poultry, etc.
There will probably be built build
ing for shops-l0Ox3O, to:contain on
first floor laundry, blacksmith shops,
and wood working shop, next floor,
knitting, shoe making, tailoring. The
building will probably be extended on
up into tank tower, some 80 feet high
with $4,000 gallon tank, for water
supply and fire protection. II done at
all, this will be done early in the next
year.
Each boy will then be taught trade
the boys working on the farm and ln
the garden, and with stock, will here
after have text books, the same as in
agricultural schools, and they will be
taught both the theory and practice.
Some of the widest and vllest hood
lums will thus be turned out capable
farmers.
When boy is committed, he is the
ward of the state until 81 years of age.
When released he is only released on
parole, aud he must report regularly to
the school, by letter or otherwise. Boys
may also be indentured. This was
never done until during the past few
months. One boy thus indentured
has already some $50 to his credit In
the bank designated by the board.

lem has been most satisfactory, espsc-
tally that on the new State Reform
5cho II, of which we present an engray
ing on this page, this building with
both wings Completed will have a
frontage Of 2S9 feet. The north wing
now under construction is 80 feet ia
depth, while the south wing is go feet.
Each wing is set back from the front OF
the m ain building, aud being some six
feet lower in height, giving n graceful
aud symmetrical appearance to the
completed structure, making the pres
eut building the m ain point of observa'
ton. The grounds are beautifully ele-
waited, giving site for a public build
ing unsurp ,ssed anywhere 10 the
state.
In addition to supplying the plans
and specifications for the new additions
to this important state building, Mr..
Kuighton is retained by the state board
of education to superintend its con
struction, and see that the states in
terest are properly subserved. He Is
out on the grounds almost daily, giving
every detail his personal attention, and
will no doubt turn over to the state as
perfect piece of work as 1t ever had
done.

SALEM SOAP WORKS.
What Mr.. Kuerton is Doing
for the Capital City.

In calling upon Joseph Kuerton,
manager of the Salem Soap and Chem
ical Works, a reporter learned, to his
astonishment, that that gentleman
had been in the soap business for
over twenty-eight years, in Germany,
France, and the United States. Also
that his forefathers had been trained to
the business for generations before
him. He built the Salem factory in
July, 1892, and although delayed con-
siderably by sickness in the start, he
soon had his BUSINESS in good shape,
and it has been growing ever since.
The capacity of the present plant is
nearly $4,000 pounds per week, aside
from the toilet and cold process
soaps.
All visitors at the last state fair re-
member the tons of fine soaps there
displayed by this house, and there is
scarcely a family in the Willamette
valley that has not given them prac-
tical test. The product of this factory
is strictly ffrst-class, as Mr.. Kuerton
believes the "cheap, cheap, soap is the
dearest OF ALL" Early next year be
expects to bring out an entirely new
process soap, which will be surprise
to everybody. He is also a scientific
chemist, and manufactures essential
oils, psrfumsry, salt soda, washing
powder, etc.
Mr. Kuerton is a happy man, and q
courteous business gentleman. His
motto is to give full weight, do an
honest business and to keep as many
nickels as possible in Salem.
The CAPITAL JOURNAL takes great
pleasure in adding its best recommend
for the products of this factory. 1t
knows Mr.. Kuerton to be a consciea-
tious worker, and feels safe in saying
that persons using the soap made by
him will always be satisfied that they
are getting their moneys worth.
He wishes all his patrons q merry
Christmas aud a most happy New
Year.

w. G. Knighton, the architect whose
plans for the State Reform School
additions were adopted in preference to
all competitors, is young man. He
has followed his chosen profession only
about ten years, yet he stands in the
front rank, His home was in Birming-
ham, Ala, where he successfully super
intended the building of several fine
business blocks. He also spent two
wears in Portland, where he had charge
of the office work for Geo. Marshall,
the architect. He came to Salem
about two years ago, aud since that
time has been closely occupied. His
first work was to perfect set for plans
for the Salem City hall now under con-
structiou. He was the successful COM
petitor for the Scio public school and
for the beautiful Masoaic Temple built
at Corvallis. The DR.. Porte residence
now being built in Yew Park, which
will be one Of the handsomest 10 the

POSSIBILITIES or THIS VALLEY
Fruit Growing Interest From
a Practical Stand
point.

From an address before the Marion
county Horticultural society by Presi
dent H. w. Cottle:
The Willamette Valley Is destined to
become the center Of the great fruit
growing district Of the Pacific North
west. The magnitude which the fruit
industry lie assuming is simply as
tonishing to any one who will take the
trouble to investigate. 1t will be but
short time until thousands and thou
sands of wagon loads Of fruit will be
delivered yearly to the markets in Sa-
lem, where in the past 1t has been so
insignificant as to be hardly worthy Of
mention. Fruit-growing is the foun'
dation OF the future prosperity ofthis
valley.
In Santa Clara county, California,
there are, as shown by the assessment
rolls, over 400 fruit farms of 10 acres
or less. There are about as many more
Of from 10 to 40 acres. Upon each Of
these farms there are employed more
men than are today employed by the
average wheat grower OF this county
upon his I60-acre farm. A few years
ago that was wheat growing district,
where land was cheap and the farmers
were poor. Today, IT Is one OF the rich
est aud most prosperous districts To-
Gated upon the Pacific Coast. Fruit
growing has been the cause Of this
great change. An equal amount OF i'm
provsment IL to be seen there 10 their
homes. The plain, commonplace sort
of mouse has given way 10 a beautiful
aud even elegant dwelling, surrounded
by spacious lawns and beautiful hOw-
ers.
The fruits grown there which are

The Salem Steam Laundry a
Progressive Institu-
ton : The City's
Pride.

During the past four years Colonel
j. Olmsted, proprietor of the Salem
Steam Laundry, has worked unceas-
ingly to build up -sn-.our Capital City
an institution which Is today credit
to the place, and reflects great honor
upon the business man who has achiev-
ed such success. From small begin
nings, the institution has grown until
today its average pay roll contains the
names of twenty-five people, aud
among them some of the best people Of
our city.
This has been the result of under
standing the business thoroughly, put
ting In the best of machinery, send.
ing out no article until it Is finished up
in style that is not equaled by any
laundry In the Northwest. This Is
evlnced by the fact that work comes
to 1t from all points In the valley, from
Portland to ROseburg. None but white
help Is employed in this establishment
In any department, ten thousand doll
lars having been paid out In wages
during the past year.
Colonel Olmsted is business man
every inch of him, aud valuable man
to the city, as was evinced by the peo-
Pile of the third ward electing him
councilman before he had been 10 the
city two years.
He proposes to have the best Of every
thing In his line, and this spirit of en-
terpirse contributes not little to the
great success Of his business.

SALEM FIGURING MILLS.
One of the Foremost Estab-
lishments of the Pacific
Northwest.

One OF the manufacturing institu-
tions of our city to which the citizens
of Salem always refer with great pride
the Salem FIGURING Mills. They
have been here many years, and have
worked up from small beginnings until
today they are classed among the best
in the country. The products of these
mills rank among the very best in the
country. The company has this year
expended about $4,000 in improving
and enlarglng its mill race, which gives
1t greatly increased facilities Ia the
matter of power. 1t has always been
regarded as a solid business institution,
and has been of great service TO the
farming community about Salem ia al
ways aHording a cash market for all
the wheat that was offered.
This mill has for the past seven years
been manufacturing from $4,000 to
1000 barrels per year. About three
quarters has been exported, while the
balance was sold in Washington, Ore
gon and British Columbia. A ready
sale for the feed has always been found
In the Willamette valley.
The pay roll of the Salem mills prop
er will average from $1,000 to $500 per
month, about fourteen hands being
constantly employed. The power of
the mill Is 225 horse.
Homer b. Holland, who is the local
manager of this mill, has been with
the company for eight years, and looks
after the interest of the business in ex-
cellent shape. The Hour of these mills
is the favorite brand in hundreds of
households, where 1t has been used for
years and will continue to be for years
to come. Its even quality-always the
same-makes it desirable article for
housekeepers to work with.
