ABOUT PRUNEs.
Eastern People Dispose OF Much
Oregon Fruit.

Things are doing in Linn
county these days in the prune
business. The product of the
big Benton county orchard north
of Corvallis was sold this year to
Lasalle Brothers of Albany, con-
cerning whom the Herald has
the following to say:
Lasalle Brothers prune pack
ing plant in this city is working
to its full capacity nowadays.
Prunes are coming in from the
surrounding country in great
quantities, and are being packed
and loaded into cars as fast as
possible. The plant now en-
ploys eighty-hve persons. At
present FIVE cars are being loaded
for shipment to Eastern points.
One car is destined for Liver
pool, England. Since the pack
ing season opened the company
has shipped a number of cars of
Oregon prunes to England, and
could the orders be filled, many
more car loads might be sent to
European points. An order was
received from a Liverpool firm
for prunes but it had to be re-
jected, as the L,salles are hav-
ing ali they can do to secure
enough prunes to fill their con-
tracts. The shortage of the
crop this year worked hardship
on all the packers in the William.
cite Valley.
In addition to the car now be.
lug loaded for Liverpool ship
ment. four more cars are also
being filled to be sent to New
York. This shipment will ag-
gregate about 100, 900 pounds.
Lasalle Brothers have already
shipped 80 cars OF prunes since
the season began. They expect
to ship at least 40 more cars by
the first of December, when al
their contracts will be filled.

repaired to the dining room
where light refreshments were
served and a social time enjoyed.

was in the hands of Mark ".
Weatherford and R. K. Brodie,
who proved themselves thorough

"made good'' in their line. The
boys were assisted by Mr.. and
Mrs. r. L. Whitehead.

enjoyable and was voted a decid-
ed success by all who were fortu-
nate enough to be present.

that we Dc not deceived by sowing

FORGING AHEAD.
Prospects Bright for Telephone
Company.

The Pacific States Telephone
and Telegraph Company have
purchased two lots in Albany on
the South side of Second street.
65 feet west of Lyon street, with
"A feet front on Second street and
running back 100 feet to the alley
of Joseph Sandner and H. l..
Walden.
The company will give ample
evidence of its faith in Albany
by erecting a building that will
be a credit to the city of Albany,
as soon as plans can be drawn for
the same and arrangements made
for bids on the contract. A COM
mon battery plant of the latest
type will be installed in the
building and new instruments
placed at all subscribers sta
tons in Albany. AS the outside
lines and the poles of the Pacific
States Telephone and Telegraph
Co. have been entirely rebuilt
within the past six months, this
will give Albany the finest tele-
phone system in the Willamette
Valley and equal to anything to
be, found in any town in the
world of the same size. The
company looks forward to the
time when the Corvallis & East
ern R R. Co. will be extended
through to an Eastern counec-
ton, when the Willamette Val
ley will be interlaced by electric
lines and Albany busy, pros
porous jobbing and manufacture
ing center.
A new and larger Office has
been leased in Corvallis by the
company and nearly all the ma
terials are on hand for the build
ing of telephone system in Cor
Wallis, modern and complete il
every way. The plant at Cor
wallis will also be of the lates

NO JUTE MILL.
Say OregonianS-Visited WaIIa
Wdlla, but not Pleased.

: B c.rse imported grain bags
Old he Oregon side of the state
be d4rN cost Umatilla wheat
growers this year an average of
tel ents each, while prison
male bags on the Washington
side cost Walla Walla growers
6H cents, Umatilla growers
are demanding that Oregon es-
tab!ish bag mill in its peniten-
tiaIy at Salem, as Washington
did IS years, ago says a staff
correspondent of the Oregonian.
Umat,}la farmers are now
using 1900, 900 sacks this year.
The Walla Walla prison price
would make the total cost. of
these bags $3.50, 900, but the cost
in Umatilla is about $2oo, 900, a
difference of $40, 900.
This exhibit makes the de-
mand for a prison jute mill in.
Oregon sound reasonable. 1t
lends strength to the argument
that Oregon can pro6tably spend
$125, 900 for a jute plant and
abolish its 22-year old stove
foundry. The argument is still
further fortified by the contention
that even if the economic ad
vantages of the change were not
so favorable, Oregon could afford
it, simply in order to take away
convict labor from competition
with free stove labor and supply
farmers with cheap sacks.
The jute mill is receiving at
tention all over Oregon and has
received great many converts.
1t may become one of the i'm.
portant subjects OF legislation at
the capital this winter. Attest
ing the widespread interest in
the matter, 80 members of the
LegisEature visited the jute mill
at Walla Walla last week, ac-
companied by Governor Cham
berlain and c. W.sJames, super
intendent of the Oregon prison.
A large delegation of Umatilla
residents were present, including
w. R. Ellis, Congressman-elect,
and T. T. Geer, Ex-Governor.
The jute-mill idea did not cap
tivate the visiting Governor and
lawmakers as the Umatilla men
wished for. The Washington
officials commended the idea
highly for their own state. but
the visitors mostly took to the
opinion that the Oregon method
of prison employment was just as
good, if not better, and that the
81 cents cheaper price for prison
bags this year at Walla Walla
was due to temporary conditions
not likely to be repeated. Prom
inent citizens of Pendleton admit
that the idea has not taken
hold ana that they hardly eX-
pect it to prevail in the legisia-
ture. Among the Legislators, as
they gathered in Pendleton after
inspection OF the Walla Walla
plant, there was little advocacy
OF the change at Salem. Nor
was the plan of working the con-
victs on roads much favored, the
chief objection being the seeming
impossibility of employing them
in that manner continuously
through the long rainy period of
Western Oregon. These were
the opinions also of Governor
Chamberlain and Superintendent
james, as regards jute mill and
road work.

The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1906-09-12

The initial sessions were given over
to the work of organization and to
routine business of a preliminary
character. Owing to the large number
and unusual importance of the mat
ters on the agenda the conference is
likely to remain in session ten days or
longer. Union with the Conghega-
tional and Presbyterian denomina-
tions viii again be one of the great
issues before the conference. The
proposed constitution for the Metho.
dist church of Japan is another matter
OF importance to be discussed and
acted upon. The publishing. educa-
tional and missionary interests of the
church will, as usual, occupy much Of
the time of the conference.
With the exception of the general
superintendent, who was elected for
eight years at the Winnipeg confer
ence all cf the officers Of the general
conference are to come up for cleo
tion. Chief interest centers in the
choice Of a new editor for the Chris
tian Guardian, and the appointment
of new associate secretary of mis-
sions.

The less noise a baby hears. the less
he is carried about and played with
for the first six months OF his life, the
better It will be-
1t is seldom necessary to take him
from his crib, except for his bath and
meals. The habit of tossing him about
and trotting him on the knee makes
him nervous and wakeful, and cannot
possibly do any good.
His undeveloped system calls for
rest, yet he is often denied that priv
ilege.
Children. as we'll as older people,
are to a great extent creatures of
habit, and they cannot acquire habits
that are conducive to proper develop
ment and health of the body at too
early an age.
II is during sleep that the building
up forces work without interruption
and the child gains in flesh and
strength.
Have regular hours for his maps.
and see that everything IS favorable
for sleep at that time There should
be no tight bands to hinder respira-
tion.
Place his crib in such a position
that the light viii not shine direct
ly upon his face-preferably in cool.
quiet corner. Do not cover him too
warmly change his position occa-
sionally, and he will sleep longer.
If baby is restless and does not
sleep WELL, it IS well to remove some
Of the covering. Baby should not be
covered too warmly, but should have
Just enough covering so he won't be
cold
Never give your baby soothing sirup
of any kind, except on the advice of
your physician.
Whenever baby shows the slightest
of sickness it is best 10 call
a physician at once. since much harm
may be done by only a. few hours de-
lay, and the little life is far too pre-
cious to be sacrificed needlessly.
