GLASS MANUFACTURING IS
DECLARED FEASIBLE HERE
T. J. Conway, 212 East Madison
street, 22 years a glassmaker in some
of the largest glas manufactories In
Indiana and Pennsylvania, inventor
and patentee of an Improved device for
the fashioning of hollow glassware,
says that $40,000 would establish a 20
ton glass plant in Portland and that
sucfa a plant would find ready sale for
Its entire production in this city.
And Mr. Conway has made diligent
inspection of the sand deposits of Ore
gon and Washington, and declares he
has . located a great body of It which
analysis discloses is within a fraction
of 100 per cent perfect for thla work.
This silica sand is in the state of
Washington, convenient to transporta
tion, and could be brought to this city
at small cost.
He further .declares glass could be
made in Portland as cheaply as in
Pittsburg or Alleghany, where he was
associated with the Helns people in its
manufacture for several years.
"OH," Mr. Conway says, "Is used by
the Helns works in Pittsburg In prefer
ence to coal or natural gas. One bar
rel of oil Is equivalent to one ton of
coal, and will perform as great serv
ice." And Mr. Conway is positive that
all grades or Qualities of glass can
be made here, from the colored bottle
to the mammoth plate. Lime, salt
cake (saltpeter), soda and manganese
are used as fluxes in the manufacture
of glass, and the Immense soda de
posits of the central section of Ore
gon would be ideal for the purpose.
Manganese, used in very small quan
tities, could be had in the orient and
brought to Portland as ship's ballast.
as could also sand, for that matter, at
very trifling cost. But there is every
ingredient necessary to glass making,
save manganese, in Oregon and Wash
lnfrton, and an enormous lot of Port
land Junk, now thrown away, would
have immediate commercial value were
there a glass plant in operation in this
city.
"Eastern glass makers will always
be earnest and active In discouraging
the manufacture of glass on this coast,
because It would mean curtailment of
their sales here, and reduce the flow
of Paclfla coast money to Atlantic
coast territory.
Profits la Olassmaklna'.
"And they would likely dispute your
figures were you to name the enor
mous profit there is in glass manufac
ture. Without going into details as
to all classes and grades, take the
case of milk bottles, for example. In
Portland it would cost $2.20 per gross
to produce the sizes which sell for
$8.60 to $7 per gross. Any glass manu
facturer knows this, yet if you print
these figures you will hear somebody
cry 'falsehood!' by the time your paper
is one day old!
"The Ball Broa of Muncle, Ind.,
own and operate one, of the largest
glass works in the country. These
gentlemen engaged in the business
with about $500 each, and they are
now many times millionaires, and it
was the handsome profits of the busi
ness that made them so. Their for
tunes were not accumulated on a 16
per cent profit basis. Mr. Heine, the
pickle millionaire, owns two glass
plants, one in Alleghany and another
at Sharpsburg, a suburb of Pittsburg.
On the money invested these enter
prises are as profitable to the gentle
man as his pickle worka They have
helped the pickle industry to make
him one of. the money magnates of
America."
How many hands would a 20-ton
glass plant employ?" Mr. Conway was
asked.
"About 40 skilled -glass blowers at
$5, to $$ per day; 20 laborers at $2.50
to $2 per day; 10 men at $4 to $& per
day, and about 60 boys at the going
pay for boya After the plant is es
tablished the cost of glass making is
very largely the cost of labor, but 20
tons of glass, a day's work, will make
200 gross of milk bottles, and these
sold at $ per gross . aggregates a
daily product of $12001
"Some day there will be a glass fac
tory In Portland. Some person or some
corporation will build one. At pres
ent eastern manufacturers are content
to remain east, knowing that western
consumers must, buy from them -and
pay the freight. . And this will con
tinue ust so long as western people'
remain as contented as the eastern
glass makers. ' buti some day " some
western person or persons will 'see
the light.' understand the actual con
ditions, invest their money in a Port
land glass works, make Just as good
profits here as are made in the east,
and be public benefactors by stopping
the flow of money from here to those
without interest la our coast more
than the profits that accrue from sell
ing us their products at stiff prices."
CONVENTION
took the train for the south, "and one
which, so far as I know, has never
been tried elsewhere. We propose a
continuous selling campaign, without
the sacrifices, cheap lot and big profit
advertising which generally accompan
ies such undertakings, and which will
last as long as there is land to sell.
The assistance of ample financial
backing and a trained organization,
whether the need Is a home, a factory
or water front structure to carry out
the wishes of the purchaser, will be
his for the asking."
Messrs. Clark and Strong visited W.
M. Ladd at Los Angeles on their way.
They will go to several eastern cities
before returning.
From the fact that several large
eastern glass making concerns main
tain agencies in Portland, It is readily
understood that there is large demand
of their manufactures in this region.
A survey of the glass using institutions
wlU disclose this, and without excep
tion managers of these industries com
plain of delay in receipt of their pur
chases after placing their orders.
Within the last month or two disap
pointments in this respect have been
exceedingly acute, consumers borrow
ing and buying from one another.
To accommodate a neighbor a large
honey shipping company loaned it sev
eral hundred bottles of a particular
size, expecting a return within a few
days- Instead several weeks have
elapsed and the borrower has not been
able to return the bottles for reason
he cannot get his own order filled.
Mr. Conway superintended the es
tablishment of a glass works at Ana
cortea Wash., several years ago, but
though, it is run to capacity Its out
put appears to make little Impression
in supplying the local demand.
Glass, in its ordinary signification,
is a brittle, transparent compound pro
duced by the fusion, at a very high
temperature, of silica (silicic acid)
with one or more basic substances,
one of which, in all cases, must be
alkaline metal. The substances which
form the essential basis of all va
rieties of common glass are silica as
the acid element; soda or potash as
the alkaline base; and lime and oxide
of lead as the alkaline earths. To the
alkaline earths commercially employed
there ought also to be added baryta
and alumina, the former being used
In the, place of lead, and the latter
being a common ingredient in certain
kinds of glass.
.Various authorities who have in
vestigated the constitution of glass
have endeavored to establish a chemi
cal formula for what they term nor
mal glass. The results arrived at,
however, by different investigators
disagree among themselves; and the
balance of opinion is in favor of. the
view that no such substance as nor
mal glass exists, and that glass does
not result from any deflnte chemical
compounds, but Is simply a mixture of
silicates, with usually an excess of
uncombined silica, The proportions
in which the ingredients of glass are
present, however, has not only a very
great influence On tne fusibility of
the mass, but these conditions also
very materially affect the quality of
the substance. In general the more
nearly the proportion of silica ap
proaches the amount necessary to
form definite compounds with the
baslo ingredients, the better and the
more stable the quality of the glass.
The maw Materials.
The raw materials of the glass
manufacture embrace the following in
gredients: (1) silica is used -in the
form of pure quarts (for very fine
glass) crushed sandstone, pulserized
flints, and especially sand of degrees
of purity varying In proportion to the
quality of the glass to be made. (2)
Lime la employed in the form of chalk
or marble, either burned or Unslaked,
and it also must, for colorless glass,
be free from impurities. Of (3) pot
ash and (4) soda any of the ordinary
salts except chlorides, but especially
sulphates and carbonates are indiffer
ently utilised, the point of real Im
portance being here also the freedom
of the compound from contamination
when fine glass is being made. (6)
Lead is the characteristic Ingredient
of a distinct class of glass, of which
ordinary flint glass is the -type. It
is usually employed in the form of
minium or real lead, partly on account
of its fine state of division and partly
because by giving off oxygen It helps
to purify the metal.

Springfield, 111, March 25. (I. N.
8.) There is no indication that the
deadlock between Gov. E. F. Dunne
and Sheriff White of Murphysboro
will be broken during the remainder
of the term of the governor. At least
Elaton Scott, the negro, who prill be
hanged as . soon as an agreement Is
reached, hopes It will continue that
long and longer..
- It is the first case of the kind in
the history of Illinois. Scott was to

The sheriff evaded the quesUon, He
said merely that the hanging would be
"legal." A stockade where the other
negro was hanged was left standing
for the execution,, and as it would ac
commodate over 1000 persons, the gov
ernor believed the sheriff intended to
have another "free show ; lie com
muted the sentence of Scott for a
month In order to give time for arriv
ing at an understanding. -,.
At the end of a month, the sheriff
still refused to make any definite
reply, and another reprieve was grant
ed. The deadlock has continued with
out any- show of relenting . on either
side, the last reprieve extending the
date of execution until May 10. gov
ernor Dunne says he will continue rev
prieving the negro until Sheriff White
answers his question.' The sheriff
says he has given the only answer
he ever will give.
-The negro was convicted for a most
brutal murder and . the governor will
not commute his sentence,

WHY OWNERS
AGENTS FOR
-1 do not care to rent from an agent.
Save the expense of having some one
to' collect the rent; we would rather
pay to you."
This statement, says Bpurgeon Wall
ing in the National Real Estate Jour
nal. Is often made to owners of, va
cant property by prospective nants,
not because they feel especially vin
dictive to' all agents a such a state
ment would imply, for It cannot be
that all agents or. their ooUectore are
mean thlng-s; .er are they moved by
a spirit of self abnegation to save
the owner the paltry commission
charged for collecting, but It comes
from a class who expect at om8 fu
ture time to be delinquent if they have
not been in the past.
-Oftesv where property ,1s -;.tn
hands of an agent, they will take the
ki. tn hunt nn the owner or me
property and make the plea that they
wrnM rather deal with that person di
rect, in an abortive and generally use
less effort to eliminate ie
In moat cases, such persons are suf
fering the effects of their failure to
pay their rent in the past they know
that an observant and careful agent
will give their past transactions a rigid
scrutiny if there are any available
means of doing so.
Et would be a different thing for a
tenant having a reputation for willful
non-payment of his rent to escape the
inevitable result of such action, ty
reason of the interchange among
agents of information concerning ten
ants who have occasion to move -frequentlya
' courtesy that one agent
extends to another.
Owners put their property in the
hands of an agent to be relieved of its
attendant care and annoynance, for
which service is paid a small per cent
monthly on the amount of rent col
lected, Xa Xosses Result.
A thoroughly systematised and com.
petent rental agency can do this work
cheaper and better than the owner, and
with less resultant losses. The owner,
perhaps not so conversant with the dif
ferent phases of human nature, is more
easily imposed upon by the specious
and plausible stories of many who do
not intend, to pay their rent volun-

EDUCATE PEOPLE THEN
INSTRUCT ROAD MAKERS
By Samuel Hill.
In road making two things are es
sential; first, to arouse the public to
the importance of highway improve
ment, and when the publla has been
educated to this extent a second nec
essity, is to find men competent to
build modern first class roads suited
to the traffic Intended to be carried.
Summarised, first educate the people,
then educate men competent to build
toads. (
First a few words as to the import
ance Of primary transportation. It is
hard to make the people understand
that the road of whatever class it. be
is the paramount thing. The farmer
may sell out and go away, but the
road always remains. There is only
one place to put a road, and that is
the right place, and no compromise is
ever possible.
The habit of building roads en sec
tion lines, or checker-boarding, was, X
think, an invention of the devil; at
least, Satan has been the only one who
has ever profited by this method of
road building. Just fancy crossing the
Atlantic ocean with a steamer that ran
around the section corners, or travel
ing on a railroad that turned square
corners; as in city streets.
Highway Zs for All. !
How few people recognize the fact
that the railroad built for. profit can
only serve a portion of the people and
secure a portion of the traffic, that
the-highway is the common property
of all for the use of all, and that
every pound almost of traffic, before
it goes over a river or railway, must
move over a highway. -The west has
come to understand that the freight
rate begins sat the farm house door;
that the man who raises high grade
apples to ship to London may in the
first three miles reduce the grade of
apples from first class to fourth class,
by hauling them over a bad road.
It SeeTns almost like talking a, b, e
to speak of these things, and yet the
road question is so little understood,
a few words may. not be out of place.
More money Is wasted on improperly
constructed roads than for any ether
one thing probably in America.
One f Primary Businesses.
X sometimes think that the three
great primary businesses of the coun
try are;, first, the buying and selling of
money: second, dealing in transporta
tion, whether over a highway, railway
or by water, and the transmission of
thought by telegraph or of speech by
telephone:; and - third, the dealing in
the great ; staples of the, country,
wheat, corn, coal, iron, eta '
Let us assume then for a moment
that we all agree on the necessity of
Improved , high ways; the question r is
how to get them. In the old days
highways were built by slave labor;
then by military compulsion; And last
of all by voluntary governmental
agreement, whether of communities,
villages, towns, .cities, ' states, or
nations, .
' The money to pay for roads today
can be obtained - la dne of two ways,
either .by direct taxation or -by de
terred, loans' through bonding. Both
methods are good provided always that
the money spent Is spent Intelligently.

"Tart Army" of Beaters.
We cannot overlook the fact that
more than three-fifths of the popula
tion of all large cities live m rented
houses; the effect of the behavior of
this vast- army in respect to their
home life and environs Is far-reaching "
and as that behavior is good or Indif
ferent, must have an appreciable bear
ing upon realty values. .'
A city, like the bodies of its Individ
usl units, Is what wc make it; all de

interdependent; real estate bears the
burdens of taxation; and without the
payment of taxes there would be no -;

should seek to aid and unllft realty
conditions by every possible means at
their command. - '

through the real estats agencies warn-'
Ing tenants to keep their premises
clean with a possible inspection

of premises with discarded rubbish
upon their removal therefrom. '
The police department should maks t

thus saving thousands of dollars an

lessening the burden Of the rent agent.

all alike responsible, and the problem
before us Is to so utilize the labor of :,
the convict that while be pays the debt
he ewes to the state he shall pay the
greater debt that he owes himself,
and restore himself to citizenship. .
William Allan Plnkerton, who has
had perhaps more to do with convicts
than any man in the United States,
said to me: ."Mr. Hill, your method'
is the only sound one ever advanced -to
utilise convict labor in building
roads, because propertly applied the
work of one convict gives employment
to two tree men, and in a great ma

S.i much for the method of financing
the road.
""Now as to laying it out: Each road
is a nrohlem all by v Itself. There
should be made a comprehensive sur- -vey
of the state, county and town
chip; due regard should be had to
existing and also to future traffie

should be built first just like a
great railroad. -
