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. , :

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

increase is the greatest Insurance
against loss from fire that a man
can have. 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 ;

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. ' , ; '
