There is one , county in Oregon, Umatilla, which produces on an av erage one per cent annually of the entire wheat crop of the United States.

Products Now in General Use. - With th rapid development of Portland and the whole Ute of Ore- fon the building material propost lon haw become an Important one. The demand for all kinds of material is getting larger every year anl waya and nieana muni be provided to furnish contractors with an Im mense amount of products of the home Industries. The Idea of buying eastern products should not be fos tered for an Instant as long; as the Pacific coast can supply them. To build up the IPaclflo slope with Pa cific slope products should be the sentiment to actuate our western consumers to be loyal to our. home industries. Our industrial plants are branching out rapidly, aa they are taking deep root tn the most fertile of all the manufacturing fields of the country. It Is encouragement and support from our western people that makes It possible for our factories to ex pand and employ larger forces of MPHA . 0 y " . ...v w skilled men, and Install the most modern machinery to enable them to compete with the best manufactur ing plants of the east. The Adamant company, which was Incorporated in 1900, Is meeting ths requirements of the plaster trade, and its plant at the foot of Fifteenth street Is furnishing hard wall plas ter which is rapidly superseding th now antiquated lime and sand wall plasters. The Adamant company was the first to Introduce the use of this hard wall plaster In the Pacific northwest, and its honest efforts to supplant the old fashioned wall filaster with a product that Is prac Ically indestructible are already crowned with success. This com- fiany's hard plasters grew rapidly n public favor and have almost en tirely displaced the soft material from the market The base coats are flbered with wood or hair as may be preferred or specified in the order, when mixed LT PAW OSKAR HUBER, District Manager ;::'-;'::;:-S;-:-;;::r:;: 'v " ft",' t " V 51 ? Therefore Our Great with sand and tempered with water. It is ready for application. When this plaster is properly applied it dries evenly and quickly, becoming very hard and producing a wall with a minimum of cracking tendency and a maximum of hardness. The merits of such plaster as this com pany makes when apparent to build ers and contractors places it in all buildings of any importance. The Adamant company is purely a local ' institution. The "plaster par Is" (calcined gypsum) from which the products are made and which constitutes the base. Is the ' largely predominating Ingredient in all hard wall plasters, is furnished by the Oregon Lime 4k Plaster com pany, being manufactured by this company at its mill at Lime. Baker county. Oregon. This plant is situ ated about four and a half miles west of Huntington on, the O. R. Ik N. railroad, giving it good shipping facilities.

The Oregon Lime & Plaster com pany's plant is very complete, hav ing a capacity of 200 tons finished ' plasters per day of 24 hours. From 60 to CO men are employed the year round in its mill and gypsum quar ries. In addition to supplying the Adamant company with , stucco it ships Its plasters throughout east- em Oregon, Washington and Idaho. The quality of its -plasters Is high and equal to the best eastern plas ters, and vastly superior to- many: From the quarrying of the rock to the shipment of the finished product every dollar realised In this im pnrtiant Industry remains in Oregon.
