sMarahla damn, eapaclaliy to tha Mulr va
ritlaa. Wa ara of the opinion that tha
1W11 crop of drlad paacitaa will ba than
onaha f of an ordinary crop. In fact, we
hiv baard ratlmvtes made of lasa than one
third of an ordinary crop. Cota will ba
abort. Prunes apparently wHl ba plentiful.

Erection of a large 'cement-manufao-turlntj
plant In Portland Is contemplated
by several Portland capitalists repre
sented by Aman Moore, general man
ager of the Portland Cement Company,
who conferred yesterday with P. T. Lind
hard and Paul Larson, of New Tork, ex
perts in the art of constructing plants
for this purpose. The New Tork men
were called to prepare estimates on
the cost of construction and the prob
able cost of operation.
Raw material can be obtained from
hills within 60 miles of Portland and
transported to Portland by the carload
at a minimum cost Limestone and clay
are the two basic materials from which
ordinary building cement Is manufac
tured. These materials can be obtained
in great quantity at smail cost.
Mr. -Lindhard has had many years' ex
perience in the building and operation
of cement-manufacturing plants, having
prepared plans or superintended the con
struction of more than a score of Port
land cement factories in various parts of
the country. He has made many im
provements upon the old process, each
time facilitating the work and reducing
the cost. .
In the construction of the proposed
plant in this city he will introduce all
the latest appliances and will aim to
install machinery that will produce the
best results with the least loss of ma-

Most of the cement now used in Port
land building operations is shipped in
from California and the East, much of
it coming by water from San Francisco.,
It is pointed out that with the raw ma
terial obtainable close at hand and the
finished product manufactured on the
ground, the cost of building operations
here will be greatly reduced.
Negotiations were started here several
months ago for the construction of a
cement-manufacturing plant at Oswego.
Portland capital was interested The
Portland Cement Company, which con
trols plants throughout the country, lt
is believed, was back of he e nterprise.
Recent developments have linked this
concern with the movement to secure
the industry for the city, and Mr. M ore
has taken up the work of making it a

made, but the -New York men expect
to have the transaction completed be

construction operations would be started

owners ti me 'a,,",u

goinar to make some exiens.iv. ucui. -titrations
of late potato planting this
season to prove the farmers can plant
these tubers late to bar any possible
change of late Spring frosts catching
them. Klamath County is noted for
its fine spuds. Thousands of bushels
are grown here annually, but an occa
sional year the early planted ones are
caught and badly damaged. Judge No
land has selected 40 acres of his ranch
and expects to plant this to pota
toes during the month of June. He
will then give tbem a thorough- test
with irrigation to. push them along as
rapidly as possible to see if they will
srrow and ripen before the Fall frosts
come, and if they do he believes the
tuber culture of the country will be
enhanced. x "
It Is argued by Mr. Noland that late
planted potatoes in this country will
ripen as early as those planted earlier,
and that if they will there will be no
longer any occasion for the farmers
getting their potatoes frosted in bi)"uS
