Grocery Co. Quality Grocers If anyone happens to have the idea that the laying of a durable pavement only means the mixing up of a little crused rock with tar and the slap ping of the compound on the street to be rolled, lie or she wou'd have that idea quickly dispelled by a visit to tho different scenes In this city where the various departments of the Warren Construction company are in operation. An inspection of the work under the guidance of one of the company officials will prove that the making of pavement has been devel opej to a science bv at least one firm and that rather than employing haphazard methods it conducts its plants along lines of mathematical precision. For instance, a laboratory is main tained at central points (for this dis trict In Portland) and, before opera tions are commenced, a sample of the rock found in the zone of operations is sent there to be examined, weighed and tested. This having been done. a proportion of mixture is worked out and sent to -the plant inspector. . In order that this proportion be main tained throughout the work, the in spector is required to make a test each hour of every work day and at the end of each day send in to the Fortland laboratory a sample of the pavement being laid. If this sam ple varies the slightest degree from the formula given, upon a chemical analysis, the correction is made and if it varies very perceptible, the pave ment is torn up and replaced for the company figures that under its guaran tee It is easier to make the change at once than be under the necessity of making constant repairs. Through the courtesy of Superin tendent Lonergan, Sales Manager Garrow, Foreman Duin and Inspec tor Calef, representatives of the East Oregonian were shown tho various stages of the complicated process of the making of bitulithic pavement and in the belief that many will be inter ested in knowing something of the methods used, a brief outline of the work is here given. Work Is Interesting. The quarry work does not differ a great deal from ordinary quarry work except that the company operates two rotary rock crushers in connection with its work there and the rockAvhen crushed is passed though several screens so that the particles of differ ent size are segregated. The paving plant proper, located on Thompson street adjoining the O. W. R. & N. yards. Is by far the most interesting part of the process. Here Is where the "hot stuff is made. This "hot stuff" consists of about ten parts of rock to one of bitumen and into the compound there are twelve different sizes of rock ranging' from anJnch and a half down to dust. By proportioning these different grades properly, the resultant product minus the bitumen Is almost solid rock, the voids being so filled that a ninety per cent solidity is secured. The re-! maining ten per cent is filled with bitumen which besides acts as a bind er and gives resilence to the pave rnTnt. The twelve parts rock is shoveled into an elevator in proper proportions and is carried into a revolving drum heated to 250 degees Fahrenheit, where It is heated and cleaned, the waste being drawn off by a fan. From the drum it passes into another ele vator, and through a series of screens until It Is segregated into six differ ent bins. A big hopper sets upon a scale immediately underne;th these bins and levers are pulled, allowing a certain number of pounds of grad ed rock to Issue from each bin until the thousand pound beam is tipped. Then from u huge vat where great quantities of the black bitumen is boiling, 95 pounds of this liquid is forced by nir pressure Into a mixer with the thousand pounds of rock. A certain number of revolutions of the mixer is necessary to properly mix the substances which Is then lumped steaming hot Into wagons and hurried to the street being paved. Already this street has been plough ed, reduced to grade and rolled hard and smooth, and covered with a six inch layer of crushed rock rolled down toTour. Over this a coating of hot bitulithic cement Is poured, a gal lon to a yard, binding the loose rock together and enabling tho "hot stuff" to take hold. A two nnj a half inch layer of this latter preparation is then spread on and the steam roller Immediately reduces its thickness to two Inches. A flush coat of bitumen is then spread over the surface, filling the voids and making the pavement waterproof, and over all is sprinkled stone chips to give a rough surface Immediately this Is done, the pave ment is readv for traffic for it hardens as soon as laid. To do all of this work requires much labor and last week the company em ployed here in Pendleton 125 men and 20 teams, the men divided as fol lows: Sixty at the quarry, 20 at the p'ant. 25 on the surface gang and 20 on the grading crew. The satisfactory part of this to Pendletonians is the fain that of all the men employed, only a half dozen, officials and expert workers are foreign, the others being residents of the city. The payroll has run over J2000 each week and thus it may be seen that, while the prop erty owners pay good money for the street improvements, a great part of this money is left here in the city.

Major Lee Moorhouse Is in receipt of a letter from Ella Royal Williams, an Oregon woman who has a govern ment position at Washington, in which she states that she has written a story centered about northwest Indian le gends and is desirous of securing good illustrations for it. She names over list of pictures she -ould like to have and asks the local photographer If he has any in his collection which would answer or whether or not he could procure them. The major will endeavor to satisfy her desires, espe cially as a lette of high recommenda tion has been received by him from Senator Oeorge E. Chamber'ain. Cursed Celewtlnl; Jailed. When impelled to curse a fellow citizen, foeware the proximity of the cop. This is the motto which one Jesse Ofcray will regard closely here after for he came to grief yesterday when he undertook to berate the Chi nese proprietor of the Horseshoe res taurant when that slant eyed caterer refused to see the argument that) when a man is broke he should be fed gratis. Officer Mannlns happen ed to be standing just outside at the time and promptly took the trouble maker in tow and it was lucky for the latter that the interference came when it did for the celestial was mak ing for his abuser with blood in his eye. Though Obrey declared this morning in police court that he was cursing hla pal "Rattlesnake Pete," Judge Fits! Gerald failed to see the distinction and administered a three day sentence in jail.
