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.

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.
