Packing Plant Hurries to Supply
Christmas Demand.

To supply the local demand for
small Christmas boxes of prunes the
j. X. Armsby company's plant is
packing this week. Although most
of the grocers in town handle 81
lem packed prune, one of the stores,
Vassall and Company, has sold only
the local pack, and the prune busi-
ness at that store has been big
item of the Christmas trade. The
proprietors conceived the idea Of gel
ting the prunes up in neat little box
es and making a fiat rate for ship
ping them anywhere in the United
States. As result it would appear
that nearly half the population OF
Dallas has sent prunes for Christmas
gifts. Among the orders taken for
these small packs are some to prac-
tically every state in the union. II
there is state to which customers
haven't consigned prunes Mr.. Vassall
and Mr.. Viers failed to recall it. The
boxes in which the prunes are packed
all bear the label of the local packers
and the name of the city and county.

BRIDGE TRUST IS CHARGED.
Marion Clerk Denies Competition
Has Been Cut Off.

That certain coast bridge concerns
are endeavoring to prevent competi-
ton in the submission of designs for
the proposed new bridge across the
Willamette river at Salem was the
declaration of County Clerk Gehlhar
of Marion county on Saturday in a
letter to G.. S. Costello of Portland.
Mr.. Costello had written asking if it
were true that the county court had
decided not to call for competitive
bids on plans.
"The county court has not decid-
ed to call off competition for bridge
designs and plans" writes Mr. Geh-
Thar. "Certain coast bridge concerns
have made an effort to have this done
to destroy competition and to perpet-
uate the bridge monopoly" {

protesting he had done nothing wrong
She wouldn't go away so the matron
was forced to give her lodging in the
station.
Mandell young New York electri-
cian was arrested at the request of

When the young man was released
from his cell on the morning after his
arrest, Miss Gottlieo was waiting in
the corridor. She ran forward and
gave him a hearty kiss. She followed
him into the prisoners room, and when
the matron tried to pull her away the
girl gave the matron resounding
slap. whiC.. brought case of disor-

Now the court says it has no author
ty to hold Mandell but hesitates to
turn him loose with the practical GER
ainty that the young woman will keep
