It la further stated that as a direct result the company which he haa organized will Immediately erect on the 35 acre site purchased in South Baker some time ago a planing mill complete throughout In equipment for finishing finer grades of white pine lumber, of which the company pect to make a specialty. ' in at dltion the plant will Include a box factory. " ." , .v V" . ' Construction of a big mill will be started at once at Austin, which will have a daily capacity of 75,000 feet. Definite plans as to the size and capacity qf tlw mill to be construct ed in this city have not been given out, but the assurance that the plant would be put In operation here was positive. ' .. ' " . The acquiring of thlB big tract of timber by the Eccles inb?rest3 will be a great boost for Baker, as all of the lumber manufactured at the Austin plant, which will be the most com plete band mill in Eastern Oregon, will find a market through this city, and the establishment of the finish ing mill and box factory here, maana a big pay roll, and the means of em ployment of many men.

(From Consul 3. L. McCunn. 0'i'S gow, in U.; 5. Government report), ; The roailu laid with tar and macad am several years ago In this part cf Scotland have fulfilled all expecta tions an regards duracy and cleanli ness. It is a noticeable fact that the enormous increase in automobile traffic In recent years has told very hes.iiy on such sections of ttie high ways laid with the ordinary macadam nrface, while the surface of tar-macadam, roads remains practically In tact.' ; s' ' 'v ' : ; ... It haa been found that to convert an ordinary macadamized road into a Ur-macadamlzed road is not suffi cient simply to tovor the old macad amised sUrface with the tarred metal. The aurface must first be scanneu. The road rolling engines are now provided with an Instrument attached behind one of the driving rollers of the engine. This instrument acts somewhat in the nature of a plow. The effect la that, as ths engine pro gresses, several steel points penetrate several inches below th surface of the road and tear it up Into the con dition of a plowed field. When the whole of the original surface has so been "scarlftad," the tarred metal is laid upon it and rolled In. If the surface is not scarified, but the tarred metal simply laid down upon the old surface of an uneven macadamized road, the finished road soon begins to show unevenness of surface, and final ly is apt to break up at various points. Experiments With Pavements. It has been found by, experience that granolithic or. cement foot pave ment are more satisfactory than foot pavements made by the Walker sys t:m of tar and macadam, although thu tar-macadam pavement la more agree able to walk upon. It is observed that certain parts o a foot pavement are used by pedfstralns more than others, for example, close to shop fronts, close to corners, and, In the country districts," close to the inner side of the pavement. 1 The effect of this on tar-macadam sidewalks is that about one-fourth ' of the surface be-' comes worn to such an extent as to require patching, thvs spoiling tha ap pearance of the pavement.' The drip ping of water from the' eaves of build ings also appears to have a disin tegrating effsct upon tar-macadam pavements. , ' ' . In hot weather tar-macadam side walks (and, to a lesser degree, road ways) become dls'inctly soft, an Im portant fact that should be seriously considered by road makers desirous of introducing the- tar-macadam sys tem ?n very warm climates. The science of chemistry may yet discover , some sufficiently viscid substance to be used with or substituted for tar. which, after setting, would not be come unduly soft during the heat of the day.
