Large Supply of Timber Available for
( the Proposed Plant.
According to announcement made
by W. H. Eccka, of Cgden, Utah, one
of the stockholders of th Oregon
Lumber company,, and the Sumpte,
Valley railroad, his company has
been awarded one hundred million
feet of white pine timber located on
the government re serve near Sump
ter, advices to that effect ; having
been received last week from the
government that their bid had been
accepted. 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.
Associated with Mr. Eccles in hiB
new company are J. E. Inglls, at pres
ent manager, of the Oregon Lumber
company's plant and several other ex
perienced lumbermen, who have been
associated with him in the lumber
business for several years. .
Mr. Eccles' career in the lumber
industry In Eastern Oregon covers a
period of twenty years, and aside from
his lumber Interests In this vicinity,
hi Is a heavy stockholder In the Sump
ter Valley railorad company. The
announcement of ,the contemplated
activity of his company in Baker and
vicinity Ma one of the best pieces of
news received by the business Inter
ests of this city !n a long time.

. (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. "
