CAU: TEACHES LESSON It Is a Damaging Indictment Against Building of Inflam mable Materials or of Substitutes for Fire Safe Materials Description of a Beautiful California Mission Style Bungalow Salem Brick and Tile Company Would Be Glad to Show Plans ; The Salem Brick and Tile com pany has on display at their ex hibit at the armory a stood of pictures which show in detail, the disastrous sweep of the - Berkeley fire. In the whole vast burned area nothing stands today except the brick chimneys. There was not one brick or hollow tile house in the whole area.;' Many. of the houses which were completely, de stroyed, howeter 'were built of materials that 1 are being adrer tised In the leading Journals of the country as fireproof., f Erery man ner of stucco construction employ ed In this section of Berkeley was as completely destroyed as though It had been, built of cardboard. These pictures constitute the most damaging . Indictment ' against building of Inflammable mater ials or of substitutes for fire safe materials that can be offered. ' There Is but a slight difference In the actual costs of construct ing a thoroughly fire safe home and one that is not, and this slight low tile construction. "The surface is to te faced with stucco, prefer ably of a creamy or light buff shade. Stucco bonds more per fectly with burned clay than with any other material. 'The roof Is fo red llermoso tile The front doorway is framed with light buff brick, similar to that used on the Salem high school building. The entrance porch Is floored with brick and the gateway' is of black wrought iron. , : ! 'Tlui iKxceifriit ArVangrmerrt ! The excellent arrangement of the Interior is shown by the ac companyging floor-plan.' The liv ing room and the dining room are joined by , a broad opening that helps to create an appearance of deserve notice. " Each of the bed rooms, for Instance, possesses a large wardrobe closet with a win dow. In its outside wall; and the living room, dining room and hall each possess a closet, while on the rear entry porch tbefe is a special closet for brooms. The built-in features include a little storage cabinet to the. right of. the ent rance to the living room, an excel lent buffet In the dining room, two shelf and drawer cabinets and a medicine case- in the bathroom, and a draught coofer closet, cup board, etc., in the kitchen. A par ticularly delightful feature of the plan is the little breakfast nook in one corner of the kitchen, finished in light French gray; in the bedrooms and hall it is in old ivory, and In' the bathroom and kitchen it is white enameled. A basement can be provided un der the living room,1 dining room and kitchen portion of the house. The partition walls between this portion and that occupied by the bedrooms should be constructed of burned clay partition tile, as should also the walls of the bath room. These tile walls can be Quickly and cheaply laid up, and make a wonderful base for the plaster, furring being unnecess ary.

Furthermore, this in crease quickly .disappears Jn the saving of insurance charges, de preciation, and cost of upkeep. Beanty Is Not Sacrlficea It Is a peculiar situation where hard headed business men will force a city to establish zones in which only fire safe construction may be employed in order to safe guard their businesses, while these same -hardheaded business men will endanger the lives, and safety of their families by erecting homes j of inflammable materials. And the reason can not be that there is greater opportunity for the expression of one's taste in 1 the constructing of lumber rather than of masonry. As 'many and as varied beautiful and pleasing ef fects can be obtained; trom burned clay materials as .from lumber. With the added ' factors of safety and permanence. Another example of what can be obtained from hol low building tile is the beautiful California Mission style bungalow which we show this month. r ; The plans and specifications for this beautiful home call for i hol- "The Bet Only' Oar Method : Cooperation Capital City ; Co-operative Creamery- A non-profit orsBiition owned entirely by h dairymea.

Wall Double Masonry Wall lor Residence Construction. l x The double wall consists of two, three or four inch walls tied with stiff wire wall ties as illustrated. This construction provides a continuous air space without a frost or moisture conductor of any kind. , and y of, course does away with the need of furrins on the inside, otherwise necessary to any solid wall that is exposed. The outer wall may be the brick face, or may be the hollow tile covered with stucco, v " - - -;; house that Is in good taste, no matter how small that house may be. And, looking at the picture and the floor plans of this house. it will not be denied that a good design pays, first ' in Increased pride in ownership, and secondly in hard cash if it should ever be come necessary to sell. And the cost of building is not necessarily increased because its parts are properly proportioned. . The Salehv Brick and Tile com pany have many excellent plans which they would be happy to show ; those ' interested. They would advise, ' however, that the prospective builder after deciding on the design he ' wants should employ a first class architect to prepare these plans fully for him and supervise the construction. - The continued boom in the poultry industry in the Salem dis trict a great thing. This is the best poultry country on earth,' and when this fact becomes fully realized, Salem will become quick ly the Oregon Petaluma. That will mean millions annually, and it will help the prosperity of the country and . the growth of Sa lem in a thousand and one dif ferent ways. Correct this sentence: "If that was my child," stormed the ner vous little man; "I'd beat the stubbornness out of St." ces for apples,, it is well Tor us to Study conditions and to take stock as to varieties,csoiI conditions, lo cations, drainage, etc. No matter what marketing con ditions may be, we are doomed to economic failure, if the above con ditions are wrong. First of all," I think, that we have made many mistakes in the matter of varieties. Favors Three Varieties Personally, I favor three varie ties tor the Willamette valley, and they are, Gravenstein, Winter Ba nana, and Grimes Golden. ' We raise a good Gravenstein In the Willamette valley and our only serious competitors are in the Se- bastopol and Watsonville districts of California. ; Their Gravenstein is much earlier than burs, and In ordinary years is out of the market before ours are ready. We raise a wonderfnl Winter Banana, which v has a fine color and a keeping quality which far! excels any other -Winter Banana that I have seen in the North west.-":"' ..... : The' third variety which I favor is the Grimes Golden. It Is not regarded as high class an apple as the other two, but grows to perfec tion in this valley and bears very heavy crops ; regularly. Its one fault is that it tends to overbear, and, like the .Jonathan must' be heavily thinned. lt Is "wondfcr fullp free from scab, which I con sider our biggest problem In -apple raising here, as worms are very easily: controlled due o the cool. nights. rX-v-hX, cJ. , .-: . Must Raise' Rest t Apples - t ,i There are of course other varle ties which-do very well, but'if -wfe stay in the apple business Iri Ibis valley we must not raise Varieties which : are only as good ' as other districts can produce, but we must strive to raise " those varieties which we can raise better than any other districts. '. . . For example we can raise a good Jonathan, but practically the whole United States can do the same thing, and Colorado rais es, perhaps the best Jonathan, which comes about two weeks ear lier than Ours and, after ' the skimming off of the cream, invar iably floods the market. In past seasons. It has been nothing to see the Jonathan mar- !ket drop one dollar a box In ten days after the flood hit the mar ket, and that ' is just about our shipping time. We also raise a fine Rome Beau ty, but . It is rarely ready . to pick before Nov 1, which means wet weather and mud. This adds ma terially torthe harvesting cost. " You will notice that these three varieties, the Gravenstein, Winter Banana tnd Grimes, do not bloom or ripen at the same time, but fol low each other sonsecutively.iThis allows you to cover more ground with your spray outfit and spread your harvesting over a longer per iod. An Important . Factor . Another factor: which I consider very Important Is that the latest pf these apples i off the trees and gone before our wet weather sets In. It invariably costs more to harvest" after the rainy season be gins and in times of prices like the last few years, it may seem the difference between profit and loss. Above all, I do not" think that wa xiould try to raise New towns and Spitx, as there are other to perfection. . If freight rates continue as they are at present our onr market will be for Pacific coast consump tion and export to , foreign coun tries. Therefore it behooves ns to Btudy these markets particular ly. , Depends on Germany . Unless Germany is put on Its feet, I can see no , f uture for our Jonathans. 'However, If Germany were to come back into the apple market, we wouln have the advan tage over othert Jonathan districts in, our nearness to port of ship ment, ; in years KPne by, Germany was a "heavy buyer of Jonathans, as the German people demand a red apple. On the other hand, the British market wants a yellow apple, and it is customary for the Grimes t top the markets in England unt3 the Yellow Newtown comes on. Must! Prevent Dumping After all questions of varieties soil, weather and so forth havt been considered, it Beems to be the conscensus of opinion, that the ap ple industry not only of the Wil lamette valley but of the whole northwest, is doomed to failure. unless the different districts ara co-ordinated so that the markets can be controlled and the fruit fed into them In an orderly -way with out this disastrous glutting and dumping. The business .men and bankers have become aroused, and, realiz ing that the Industry is on the brik 'Of : ruin, aro making strenu ous efforts to- bring about the for-. raatkB ; of I a Northwest exchange and'-also' an export corporation. MniWtmdering what has become of our apple market of a tew years ago, I bf ten ask myself. Is It really overproduction, or Is it due to the taking away of our export bus iness or to the fact that they raise and pack better apples in the east and south than they used to? Or again. Is it due to the fact that the increased cost is growing, har vesting, boxes, paper, nails, pack ing and lastly, freight, have add ed over ZOli more to the cost of landing a box of apples on the eastern ' markets? And then due to this Increased cost are people eating fewer apples and more of something else. " Let's go a little slow, and, be fore we pull up an orchard, or al low it to go to rack and ruin, let's answer these questions for our selves as nearly as posible and try to save our Investments that nave taken 12 to 15 years to bring to a point where they should b paying Investment.
