That the big prune packing plant
of the j. X. Armsby company, now
being built in this city by Contractor
McIntire, of Roseburg, will be com
plete and ready for business by Sep
tember 10, is the prediction made
yesterday by Mr.. Mclntire. The SUI
perstructure itself is practically finish
ed and only a small amout of work
remains to be done on the rof, COM
pletion of which has been delayed by
the non-arrival of roofing materials.
Work of setting the boiler which will
furnish steam for the plant is now
under way. The boiler house will be
located at the north end of the main
building. The motive power employ
ed at the plant will be electric, and
the boiler is used solely to furnish
steam, which is used in the cleans
ing and packing operations and for
processing the fruit.
Plant Model of Its Kind.
The new plant will be model OF its
kind, according to the statement of
men who are familiar with such
things. While it is not as large as
some others in the state, in none of
them will the machinery be more Up
to date, and the Dallas institution will
even contain some conveniences in the
way of appliances that more preten-
tious ones do not possess. All the
machinery is being built in the build
ing by experienced men whom Mr..
McIntire has brought here especially
for that purpose. Much of it is all
ready in position, and large force of
mechanics are now busily engaged in
erecting it under the personal super
vision of the contractor. 1t is de-
clared that this machinery will be
erected here and ready for business
at price which would about equal
what it may be purchased for in Cal
ifornia.
Machinery VIII Do II AL
Human hands do not touch the fruit
but twice from the time it enters the
building until it is loaded into the
cars in neat boxes bearing the Arms
by label and the Dallas brand. In
the packing room, whore so girls will
be employed the fruit is handled by
hand, or so much of it as will be nee
essary to pack two layers of 'facers'
in the boxes. These ''facers" consist
of the choicest fruit and is carefully
packed by hand. In another room
the weigher occasionally handles the
fruit in filling or removing some of it
from each box in order that the
weight may be equal. The packing
room is airy and well ventilated and
will be a pleasant place in which to
work.
Manager Petersen has been making
a series of trips through the valley,
crop conditions, hut
says he has not yet purchased any
fruit. He thinks, aside from the
Newberg and Dundee districts, i'm
Yamhill county, that Dallas vicinity
will have the best yield in the valley.

DALLAS TO PROFIT
BY RAILROAD
CHANGES
ELECTRFTCATION OF DALLAS
SALEM LINE TO BE NEXT
UNIT IN BUILDING PLANS
OF u. E. & L..
IMPROVED TRAIN SERVICE

liberalization of the Salem, Falls
City q Western from Dallas to Salem,
will be the next unit taken up by the
Portland, Eugene & Eastern Railway
company, when the present work be-
tween Portland and McMinnville shall
have been completed, according to the
statement made to The Observer
Tuesday by Mark Woodruff, publicity
agent for the company, who was in
Dallas on business. 1t is believed that
the new bridge across the willamette
river at Salem will have been com
pleted by the time the McMinnyille
unit is finished, and the electrifcation
of the Dallas-Salem line will follow
Immediately.
Plans of the Company.
Mr.. Woodruff explained in detail
the plans'of the company in this vi
cinity, and that this city will have
much improved train service over the
present arrangement is evident. When
the complete electrihcation Of the
lines is finished the main line between
Portland and Eugene will traverse the
east side of the river from Oswego to
Salem. where II viii cross the river to
proposed new cutoff from West Salem
10 Independence, continue on to Eu-
gene. There will be four trains daily
between Dallas and Salem. connecting
with the north and southbound main
line electric Trains between Portland
and Eugene. Dallas will be the ter
minus Of the present Yamhill division
via McMlnnvnle. and at least two
trains daily will be operated between
this city and Portland over that line,
thus giving Dallas six trains each way
TO Portland.
Limited trains will be operated on
the main Portland Eugene line and
close connections with these trains
will be made at Salem from Dallas
Work is now being pushed on the
electrification Of the line from Port
land 10 McMinnville and also on the
grading Of the new line from Monroe
to Eugene over which IL is PROPOSE
to run steam trains into Eugene by
October /. when that portion Of the
track is finished. the Corvallis trains
will then be- run on through to Eu-
gene. ana h's arrangement will OBJ
tain until the complete elecuihcation
of the line shall have been finished.
New Depot Probable.
Although Mr. Woodruff would not
say 80. definitely. 81 Is learned from an
apparently reliable source. that the
company has plans under way for the
construction of a new pass niger sta
uon In Dallas. The company owns an
admirable tract Of land suitable for
such purpose on Main street. and
while none of the officials viii give
out definite Information. q is a fact
that assurance has already been given
90 "a number of Dallas people that the
company viii build new station
here. and that -'it viii not be located
az the site Of the present building. A"
This f. taken to mean thar q wnl be
built near Main street. as a building
az that location would be more avail
able and handy for the company than
az the present site.
More information along this line
may o. expected shortly.

FAMOUS PRISON
 REFORMER HERE
COL. c. ]. GRIFFITH OF LOS AM GELES, CAL, IS AT THE
 PARK HOTEL.
Author of Celebrated Book: Grimes and Criminals Has Established
 General Prison Reforms.

One of the noter prison reformers of the world is Colonel G. J. Griffith of Los Angeles, Cal. who is making a two weeks stay at the Park hotel.
 Colonel Griffith is the author of a remarkable book entitled: Crime and Criminals., which Ihas within two years accomplished splendid reforms n prison methods, and the discipline of state asylums for the insane. This book is now used as n text book in several universities of this country, and has attracted much attention in England and other countries.
 Within q short while there will be congress held in Englf.nd, looking to reforms in prisons and insane asylums. as well as to the elimina- tion of capital punishment Capital punishment is called by Colonel Grif- fifth "legalized murder" and he has just finished lengthy article for the New York Review, dealing with the iniquity of society putting it's mem bers to death.
 Before Colonel Griffith took up the championship of the prisoners and other state dependents, the inhuman practices in the prisons and insane asylnms of California were fearfully cruel But there has been q general amendment in that state in the past two years, us well as in many other states where Grimes and Criminals has taken hold of the minds Of prison officials.
 Colonel Griffith is devotng his life and wealth to developing a greater spirit of humanity among all people, and he declares it his belief that in future mans standing in society will be measured by service instead of wealth or power or even genius.
