Prhaps no other dried fruT is
quite so generally used as the prune;
nor is there any Of more value in the
diet. But how seldom you find this
fruit properly cooked or prepared in
the various toothsome ways to which
1t lends itself. For that reason
prunes are not as highly esteemed as
they should be.
Poorly cooked prunes are certain

they would have decided on the Ash
land stone, but they had been in
formed that the quarry at Ashland
could not take out the stone as fast
as the bank would require 1t, once
the construction was begun.
From that time until a short time
ago, the quarry was not brought to
the attention of the public to any
great extent. Two months ago, H.
c. Galley endeavored to get local men
interested in the quarry, thinking 1t
might be made an item Of interest
and a thing worth while to Ashland.
After having talked to various Ash
land men whom he thought might be
interested, P. R. Hardy, Of Spokane,
WASH, arrived to visit his brother,
William Hardy, OF this city, P. R.
Hardy is connected with concern
in Spokane which handles granite
and Is himself a competent judge of
stone. He visited the quarry and
ordered a car of granite for his firm
and after having talked with Mr..
Galley regarding the quality of the
stone, Mr.. Galley expressed desire
to get an option on the property. Mr..
Hardy returned and talked to Mr..
Blair, who finally gave Mr. Hardy an
option. This option was then turned
over to Mr.. Galley, who has interested
local persons to the extent that they
have practically guaranteed the IL
nancing of the proposition.
The price to be paid for the quarry
is $4,000, and a cursory estimate
of the amount of the cost Of neces-
sary equipment to place the quarry
in a position to take care of all or
ders promptly is from $4,000 to-
$4,000.
The plan for financing the propo-
sition has not been completed, but all
local people will have a chance to
buy an interest before 1t is offered
on the outside market. However,
nobody will be solicited to take any
stock, for 1t is believed that all stock
not taken in Ashland will find a
ready market elsewhere.

paclty planned would create pay.

An option has been obtained by
Ashland investors on the granite
quarry belonging to W. M. Blair, To-
Gated seven miles southeast of the
city on Neil creek, and a mile and a
quarter from the railroad loading
point known as Mistletoe.
Six years ago Mr.. Blair began to
operate a small quarry on his prop
erty, at that time not realizing the
actual value that was stored away
In the hillside on his ranch. AS time
went by, Mr.. Blair gradually added
equipment until he had a fair
amount of machinery, though not
sufficient to fill large orders where
several carloads a day were re-
quired. After having submitted
samples to various dealers and hav-
ing received their opinions in regard
to the quality of the granite, Mr..
Blair decided he had a very valu-
able property. However, being un-
able personally to finance the propo-
sitlon for the purchase of necessary
equipment to enable him promptly
to meet any order regardless of size,
and as he did not desire to call in
outside capital, the property has
never been brought to the notice
of the public to any great extent.
About four years ago a prominent
citizen of Ashland was asked by Mr.
Blair to go to Portland in his inter-
est, where the First National bank
of that city was preparing to erect
a new building, the construction of
which would be largely granite.
Upon the representatives arrival in
Portland he went to interview the
vice president of the bank who was

acting for Mr.. Blair, asked what
his intentions. were in regard to
building stone. and in reply he was
asked to accompany the bank official
to the basement where stones from
all over the country were assembled
for inspection. At one side of the
room were two stones so similar that
a person who not an expert along
that line would not have been able
to distinguish any difference in the
quality Of the two. One was the
Barre granite, quarried in Barre,
Vermont, and known the world over
as the best granite obtainable. The
other was a sample of Ashland gran
ite from Mr.. Blair's quarry. The
bank official informed Mr.. Blair's
representative that of the two stones,
he believed the Ashland granite to
be the better and stated further that

The chief nutritive element in dried
fruits generally Is sugar, while the
greatest value to the diet is derived
from their mineral salts.
1t is not so long ago that fruit was
considered more or less an accessory
"a side issue, an afterthought, in
our scheme of unplanned meals.
Science. however, has proved fruit
to be an absolute necessity in every
well-balanced diet. This explains why
physicians. diet't'ans and domestic
scientists lor year, have been urging
the increasing importance of fruit III
the daily fare. Especially is this
true of prunes. For prunes give you
something you can get in no other
way. Consider this:
Prunes are rich in building
and body-regulating elements. They
contain more digestible natural fruit
sugar than any other fruit And this
sugar is quickly turned into energy
for work or study or play.
Search where you may, you will
not find a better energy food for
lively. romping folk than these sugar
laden prunes. Besides, they are rich
in tonic iron and other mineral and
"vitamine" elements needed for
body tone.
