WALLOWA. Ore. (Special to the

that the stale may establish a lime
plant on the South Fork river to

that rock In the manufacture of
land plaster, states a local newspa
per, A bill Is to be Introduced In
the legislature for the purpose of
obtaining one for the Willamette
valley and Itcpresentuttvp r. A.
Hunter wll lask for a similar one
.for eastern Oregon If there Is any
likelihood of oecurlng It. A plant
has been opemtod very successfully
In southern Oregon.
The lime and marble deposits In
the South Fork canyon are ex
ceptionally pure, testing between
and ti per cent. A great quan
tity of the rock exIMs. a part of
"vrhloh Is Included In the holdings
of the Wallowa Marble and Qran
Ite company, a lime kiln has op
erated In Ui canyon, uml has tnken
it out commercially. This stream
would provide ample power for
such project. The rock In such
a plant is either ground or burn
ed as Is mast convenient.
l.lmo, or land .tutrr es It Is
called, has proved a gn at aid to
agriculture. On some land that
lias become acid or sour. It has
mosnt a restoration of the fertil
ity to the soil. Striking Instance
arc to be seen on J'lainond I'rulrle
where as high as fifty per cent In
creases In Iho yield have been
noted. At present the freight rale
lies made shipping It In rather
expensive, and If the-plant can lie
secured from the state. It will lie
a decided benefit to the farmers
of eastern Oregon.

' TYPE-B SEDAN
Unquestionably, the most compelling tribute
to the car' stamina is its widespread use by
farmers, ranchmen, surveyors, salesmen and
ethers who travel isolated roads in all sorta .
of weather.
These men will tell you that a good polishing
restores the durable finish to its original '
brightness after the car has been caked with
mud for weeks.
To' them it is a matter of vital importance,
too, that Dodge Brothers powerful starter
functions promptly after prolonged exposure
to the cold.
Nor is any group of owners more constantly
impressed by those elements of excess value
which characterize not only the Type-B
Sedan itself, but every car that Dodge
Brothers build.

The Federal Fuel Administration Board snffBests the follow
liiK simple and ECONOMICAL method nf effectively ItE
JIOVl.Nti SOOT:
"The fire Is pin Inlo conil cnmlitlnn wllh a substantial lioily
or hot fuel. COMMON SALT, UinroiiKhly dried, Is then
sprinkled onto the Incandescent fuel bed In u quantity dct
pending entirely on the. size of the furnace. In the case of
a house heating furnnce, one pound at a time Is ample; ifi
the case of a larger power plant boiler, four or Nvo scoop -fills
may be required. The dumpers nre kept open so br lo
maintain llie fuiiini-e temperature and sail Is allowed lo
remain nn(JI the funics have entirely disappeared, , ,
"Immediately upon being I'lioru-eil with sail, the furnace be
comes flili win, dense while fumes which may require as
much as half an hour lo entirely disappear. If results are
nut secured on the first nppl leal Ion, it should be repealed
as many times as necessary. fc ,
"Once the hcntlng surface is thnmiilil.v elennetl, a small Ap
plication every few days Is usually surrlclenl lo keep It so.
"Everyone using soft coal Is urged by the Administration to
use this remarkably .simple and cheap process of getting rid
of the soot, cleaning the henting surfaces- of the trailers,
thus saving large amruits or coal, preventing fires from
chimneys and generally conserving all along the line of heat
