M A N Y FINE FOWLS MILLION SOF TONS ARE A V A IL A B L E HERE N O W RAISED HERE Indications Arc That Many Plan Is to Hold Exhibit Buildings in Future Time o f the Annual Will Be Stone. Potato Show. This Space is Reserved for C. A. PARVIN & C 0 . of M cM innville Who have bought out Eh ret Bros Store here W atch for th eir A nnouncem ent in later issue o Spokesm an For many years It haa been claimed that the lava rock In this section could not be used to advantage for bunding purposes, and while there are millions of ton» of thla rock In this section, no one ever gave a seri­ ous thought of putting the same to use for construction of uny kind of a building. Since the advent of stonemasons in this part of the Cen­ tral Oregon this condition of things has been changed. The masons have demonstrated that the lava rock can be worked up and used In buildings, making a practically fireproof structure. The first stone building in Redmond to be build with lava rook was the Chad Irvin store on Sixth street, and this has been succeeded by the Aug. Johnson building on south Sixth street, between E and F streets. The cost of building with the lava I rook is cheaper than brick, and It I is claimed better results can be ob­ tained. The rock costs nothing but ; the hauling, and goes up fast in con­ struction work. The rock can be 1 obtained In as large pieces as de- j sired. j For finishing purposes the pink rock quarried at Begd or the white I rook found north of Redmond will I be used to a considerable extent. On the banks of the Deschutes river near I.aldlaw there are many thou­ sands o f tons of red rook that is very easily worked up, and which Is fireproof. This rock Is used for flre- I places and for hank vaults, j Practically, the building problem In this section haa been solved, and 1 It will not be long before Redmond will he known as the city o f stone I buildings, both in the business and 1 resilience districts. Barren wastes | of lava rock that for years have been considered valueless will. In the course of time, bring a satisfactory price for building purposes. I 1 At The poultry raisers of Redmond and vicinity are getting together and agi­ tating the question o f holding a poul­ try exhibit in Redmond In the fall at the same time the Annual Potato Show is held. The movement is meeting with much favor among the l»u ltry men. and the chances are favorable for the exhibit being held on the date stated. During the past year poultry rais­ ing has been engaged In quite exten­ sively in this section, and a fine grade of fowls are being raised. There are a number o f ranchers in and around Redmond who have prlie- wlnnlng full-blooded fowls, and It Is thought by holding an exhibit at Redmond and making it an annual event, that more interest would be stimulated in the poultry business, and a better strain of fowls be the result. The plan of the exhibit Is yet In its Infancy, but some of the more prominent poultry men are taking hold of the matter, and intend to canvass the situation thoroughly and see what encouragement can be se­ cured to hold the first event the com­ ing fall. L A T E COPY NOT H AND LED NOW. While waiting for the completion of the new building. The Spokesman is to move Into, and the installation of the cylinder press, linotype, and other material necessary for the printing of the patter here in Red­ mond. the paper is being printed in Portland. Consequently, all copy for the current week has to be sent to Portland not later than Monday night, and much news up to the date o f publication has to be omitted for that week, and be published the suc­ ceeding week. If our subscribers will be patient and bear with us for awhile, until we get Into our new building early In April, this condition Train No. 104 on the Oregon Trunk will be obviated, and The Spokesman line was delayed three" hours last will then be up to the minute with Friday night on account of a small all the news happenings in Redmond landslide near Mecca In the canvim and the county.
