SUNDAY, APRIL 12, 1908. o o 00 THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OHEGON, astoria'sindustryT rri4Tkvi" worn If (Continued from Page 4.) In fact, there has already developed inducements that will guarantee this extension. The prospects are very encouraging. The new hotel for As toria will 'probable be made of home products. That matter is now under consideration. This would require about one-half million brick. Two tlier four-story brick buildings for Astoria, under contemplation have asked for prices. One contracting firm has made inquiries for a half million face brick and common build ers fur export to another city. Solici tations are in for sample brick for ex hibit in Portland, San Francisco and Oakland. The pure white and buff brick will make the city famous for artistic and substantial building ma terial. The buff brick will compare favorable with the best of its kind ntade anywhere. Honest legitimate dividends will follow as sure as effects follow causes. Bank balances will be on the side of Astoria citizens instead of going to Other cities for high insurances, building material, and for aiding them to commercial supremacy. It should be understood that the sample that will be exhibited Monday High were all made by hand, a crude process. Machine methods would easily improve upon them at least 40 to 50 per cent in every way. It is further proposed that at least five barrels of clay will be sent to Bucyrns, Ohio, the largest clay ma chine factory in the world and under the supervision of experts thoroughly tested for adjusting machines and presses to the clays. From thence the paving brick samples will be taken to the Ohio State University where there is equipment for testing by the rattling process the durability of the brick for the ware and tare of busy traffic. All precautions known will be resorted to make the industry a paying institution. Trained men from California and from the East will be engaged at once to insure and hasten the production of good products to meet the imme diate demands of the market. The site selected for the industry is located in the city limits in the 'Alderbrook addition to Astoria, just a short distance from the end of the street car line on the main highway, an ideal situation for city advantages and its patronizing influence. Options have been taken on the site and immense clay beds in and out of the city. . A. fine gravity system can.be pro Tided with comparatively little ex penditure of money. Every time yon move a ton of clay it is moving to ward the market. Railroad and water transportation facilities can easily be obtained. Electric power will be used in pref erence to mechanical power for the operation of the plant. The Electric Power Company has assured the best of rates for all electric purposes. The chief fuel for burning kilns, however, will doubtless be crude oil. The external appearance of the plant will be a handsome one. Immense electric light signs, with letters, sev eral feet in length, will be placed on the top of the main building facing the railroad and parallel with the riv er and main highway, and the passing tourist will be greeted with a view by night as well as day of the "Astoria Clay Product Company." It will be a market success in a lively town. Anyone doubting the practicability and usefulness of this clay product in iridustry for Astoria is kindly invited to be present at the Chamber of Com merce meeting, Monday night, April 13.
