THE OREGON; SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND SUNDAY -MORNING, JUNE -7; 1914. A V) I 1 OREGON'S HERA SHOWS OVER 1912 Facts Given in Bureau Bulle- tin Attract Much Favor able Comment, GAIN IS 200 PER CENT Bturaaa olra nisi Treatment Frob lent Which Means Mach to Kinlnff Industry of the Stat. t he Oregon bureau of mines and ge ology commission held Its first annual , meeting to review tho results, of the past year's work, and to map out the field, work for the coming summer. The first publication of the buretfu a resume of the mineral production for Oregon In 1913, showing an Increase over J912 of 200 per cent with a total f $2,000,000, attracted much attention. For the reason that the increase was due to the growfh of hard rock mining, the mining Industry of Oregon has ar rived at the most stable stage In its development. Such operations are large consumers or labor, and therefore the field for employment of miners has been increased extensively. The first issue of the "Mineral Re sources" also attracted wide attention ana mucn invoranie comment among men of prominence In the profession all over the United States, in response to A. M. Swartley's contribution '"What Is the Matter With the Mining Indus try." This article has given rise to a most beneficial reform which is oper ating to assist in the development of the industry In the' state. Goal Deposits Considered. The coal deposits of the Squaw creek basin of Coos county were " reported upon in this lnsue by a party in charge or Ira A. Williams of the bureau staff. This field had not been touched by the United States geological survey, and the report upon it will therefore have a great economic value. In the coal de velopment of the state. A supposed coal deposit 35. miles east of Roseburg which was filed upon by ,20 applicants who were making large expenditures in its development was reported by Ira A. Williams to be ob sidian, or worthless volcanic glass, closely resembling some varieties of anthracite coal In appearance. While this report was a negative one, it can , be said with certainty that consider able capital was saved for other state development because the interested parties have discontinued their fruit less operations. The second Issue of the "Mineral nesdurces of Oregon" was devoted to a study of the quarry possibilities of Oregon building stone. Since its pub lication, four quarries have been openrd which were previously idle, In cluding tho Pioneer sandstone near Newport, which' was years ago used In .the construction of the Call building in Ban Francisco; a black marble deposit at Enterprise; a granite at Ashland, and the Cooper sandstone close to Itosebufg. Others will probably fol low as necessity demands, but those al ready opened at considerable expense should be given the patronage of public contract, in order that they may be able to keep up a continuous produc tion. There H no question whatever about the quality and attractiveness of any of these Oregon building stones. John' Day Basin. The third Issue of the bureau publi cation was a comprehensive reconnais sance of tho John Day basin with re spect to Its coal, metal, oil and ar tesian possibilities. Asido from these publications, the bureau has solved a slime treatment problem which renders an important mining problem a success. Other valu able services have been rendered the .mine operator that have been of vital Importance. . The list of publications scheduled to appear during the present year is as follows: "Drainage of Willamette Valley t arm Lands," now in press; "Geology of Por tions of Jackson and Josephine Coun ties"; "Report on Part of the Baker Quadrangle, Baker . County"; Portland Cement Materials in Oregon"; "Mines and Prospects of the State"; "Report on the Sumpter Quadrangle, Eastern Oregon"; "Papers Relating to the Clays and Clay Products of the State." Size of Edition Increased. It has already become necessary to increase the sfee of the edition of the bureau Journall from 3500 to 4000 copies, largely in response to an east ern demand from those who desire to PRODUCTION INCREASE AWYERS TITLE & TRUST CO.

Capital $1,000,000 FINE FARM MADE BY SICK MAN OF LOGGED-OFF LAND The Newberg Enterprise tells a story of the conquering of Oregon's logged off lands that makes mighty good reading In these back-to-the-soll days. "Twenty years ago," says the Enter prise, "Mr. and.vMrs. D; C. Van Horn came to Oregon rrona-Weteraska. Mr. Van Dorn had heart trouble, and the doctors advised him to seek a new cli mate, if he cared to live much longer. "They bought 30 acres of land two miles south of Dayton, covered with stumps and logs and brush and vines It was not an encouraging proposition especially in connection with Mr. Van Dorn's physical condition. But he won out with the aid of his good wife and such assistance as two young chil dren could give. The son. now 19 years old, is still on the place, and bis father's right bower a sturdy, sensi ble, industrious young man, who grad uated at the Dayton high school with out letting go of his hold on work at home. "As the years progressed the bruah and logs and the stumps (some of them six feet across) were removed and the ground they occupied is now one of the become interested In the Oregon mining Industry. Much authoritative criticism of Ore Con's manner of exploiting her mineral resources which is received by the bureau of mines commission is an in dication that their work has an im portant economic bearing on the devel opment of the state and that the plan adopted by this bureau is working sat isfactorily. By the end of the year, when two summer's field work has been com pleted and the results published, it will be apparent by the results obtained that the state expenditure has proved an excellent and profitable investment.

A comfortable residence has been built, with barns and outbuildings and facil ities for Mrs. Van Dorn's industry of raising" chickens and turkeys. Five years ago a high, price automobile was bought, and Is in frequent use. "Seyeral years ago the Van Dorn family acquired the habit of taking prizes of silver cups, ribbons, bronse medals and farming implements at liortlcultural fairs, state and county. and they now have a valuable and in terestine collection in that line. What they -shave accomplished In transforming- a waste into a remarkably produc tive orchard is an object lesson for oth ers: Mr. Van Dorn says that 'You can. if you want to,' is an excellent motto, and he has certainly proved its truth fulness. He says that in Nebraska there is but one pay day a year; with his family there is a pay day every week,, for, in addition to the orchard and berries, they have an income from COWSi x "D. C.

A Railway Economy Erie Ballroad Saves $4000 a Month, by Permitting' Its Passengers to Look Througn Smndged Glass. New Tork, June 6. The Erie rail road Is saving $4000 a month by not washing its car windows, according to Albert J. Stone, general manager of the road, who appeared before the state board of public utility commissioners In Jersey City recently. He declared his road was too poor to clean its cars, and refused to answer any ques tions about salaries of its officers. C. D. McKelty, inspector of the com mission, stated that the cars and en gines were in a filthy condition, ani liable to cause accidents, as it was impossible to see whether there were any loose nuts or bolts on the engines. Mail Order Houses Furnish Revolvers Detroit Polios Blame CUceffo Con cerns for Placing- Deadly Weapon In the Hands of foreigners. Detroit, Mich., June 6. The police believe they have discovered the source of the revolver supply which has been placced in the hands of hun dreds of foreign born persons in De troit dangerous weapons. Prosecution of officials of mail order houses in' Chicago may follow. John Rovlnsky, 20, arrested by Detectives Grossman and Plies, made a confession which Prosecutor Frazer thinks will result in the prosecution. The mail, order houses, the police believe, to monopolize the business ad vertised in foreign languages the sale of a razor a shaving mug, a watch and a revolver for a nominal price. A card brought the package C. O. D. Watch on an express office netted the police Rovinsky, a revolver and, it is believed, the solution to the mystery of how so many persons came into the possession of firearms, after their sale had been restricted in Detroit. Buffalo's Skeleton Mislaid by Workmen Fail to See Value of Bones 25,000 Tears Old and Cause College Pro fessors Much Worry. Chicago, June 6. TTnappredatlve workmen at the University of Chicago has lost the 25,000 year old skeleton of an American buffalo. The bones were discovered two months ago when ex cavations were begun for Julius Rosen wald Hall, the new geology building. Charles Hann, superintendent of con struction, uncovered the skeleton and set It aside to show to the scientists of the institution. During his absence the bones, excepting a lone humerus, were removed. Professors at the uni versity identified the humerus as that of a buffalo which had evidently died on the beach sand ob the shores of the old Lake Chicago. cord; builder.

BUILDING The THE LITTLE HOME PRESENTS MANY PROBLEMS TO THE BUILDER ?s-' 5 - , ,5 x -i - -t4i t , -j - i -t i ' . , z u ZZl"' B75aU v i I IE i; t)rna I KirCHCtl ' n . I -I 70&r FLoca Pla By A. C. ! It is a proverbial fact that the av erage home builder comes to his archi tect with a "cream appetite and a skim milk pocketbook." He will want a co lonial mansion with porticoes, side wings, and posterior porches for the exterior, with interior arrangement of reception hall, living room, library, dining room, etc., at least two bath rooms, with private lavatory for each bedroom, the best grade of hard wood finish, "and then, if possible," a brick exterior and a tile roof, all for 13000. He is only one of a thousand such, and still be wonders why archi tects turn prematurely gray. It seems to be contrary to the laws of human nature for a man to keep his wants within his means. Every man strives to build a larger home than he can afford. Even the man who builds a three room bungalow goes Into debt before his home is complete in order to have it a little better than he might get along with for a while at least, the man who (without persuasion from his architect) voluntarily tries to see how small he can build a home and have it fill his needs would be a cur iosity, to the average builder or archi tect The planning of a small home Is more difficult than the planning of a larger one' to meet the requirements of the same family. Not because the ar rangement cannot be as convenient, for anything built on a large scale can be built on a small scale, within a certain reasonable minimum, but be cause the average person has an exag gerated idea as to how much room he needs for living purposes. When sitting in the parlor, with two or three friends, the actual space that is taken up together with the usual parlor furniture is not considerable; when the dining room Is openly con nected with the parlor, the effect of distance prevents a cramped or stuffy appearance. Dining Boom Dimensions. In the dining room, of course, the size of the table, together with the fact that a passage must be main tained around the outside of the seated guests, establishes a 10 foot minimum for the least dimension. The dining room should be made a little longer than its narrowest dimension, to ' per mit extension of the table on special occasions. This extra length Is often obtained by projecting a bay, which, when properly designed, adds to the attractiveness both within and with out. Some people think they simply can not get along without a den., The writer admits that he is one of those people. A little place, even if not more than five feet wide, in which to study, write, read, or converse pri vately is always a convenient acces sory. Placing a comfortable -couch in it makes an extra bedroom on spec ial occasions. In a small home, how ever, this space can be distributed be tween the other rooms and one of the bedrooms furnished to take its place. The number of chambers is, of course. established by the number In the fam ily and the number of expected guests. A fireplace is always a . splendid thing in any home for its cheerfulness , and the heat it affords on mild winter A-4222 Rose City Park BARGAINS HOUSES AH2 LOTS 0N EASYterms Halty Dprtnint of V Tontth and 8trk days, as well as being a splendid ven tilator at all times, but It is expen sive and takes up altogether too much room for a small home. It should, therefore, be omitted, together with such desirable but unnecessary luxur ies as a first floor toilet, large pantry. and conservatory. For the best appearance' a home of small dimensions should not' be full two stories high. Making the height of the first' story not over nine' feet in creases the size of the rooms In ap pearance and makes it unnecessary to project the Becond story quite so high iDto the air. While it must be ad mitted that a slant In the bedroom ceiling is not the most desirable thing, still, when the slant starts not lower than five and one-half feet or six feet from the floor, it is not in the way of bedroom wall furniture, and does not interfere with head room, even at five and one-half feet, for no one stands against the wall. When the slanted part of the cell ing is insulated properly from the weather and the room is properly ven tilated 4t does not make the room either hotter or colder; in fact, it re quires a little less heat radiation In winter.

I .WORCESTER EJBUILDJNQ , It is almost universally known that gas light is the easiest of all lights on the eyes and Is highly desirable for Illumination of the home. Compara tively few people, however, are aware of the fact that gas light really bene fits the air. Gas light gives off trifle more heat than most of the other lllumlnants, and, strange to say, this trifle of extra neat tends to purify the atmosphere by setting the air in motion to an extent that aids ventil ation very materially. This it does by driving the heated products out through ceilings and upper windows, at the same time bringing fresh air through the floors and lower part of the doors and windows;- and this cir culatlon of air contributes still more toward Durity by carrying certain germs and bacteria, as well as the animal matter given off my our lungs, right Into the gas light flame, where everything of this sort is properly cre mated, a simple process of air steril ization. . These facts regarding gas light as a pure air factor have been demon strated by many tests conducted by scientists.
