The Oregon factory Is the only one, in existence, and is run exclusively by Oregon capital. ; J. C. Parker, of Parker & Banfleld,- building contractors whv built the Elks temple of this city, is head of the company. . According to Otto Hillman of the Hillman Fuel company, -who ere handling the iron fireman in this, region, the new automatic fireman has advanced a long way toward solrlng the problem of firing. .:. :;: I Seven of the iron firemen hare been already, installed ' in Salem; and Mr. Hillman reports that he has orders for three more; besides several prospects. j I The fireman is simple in con slruction, and is so built that there is only one part that must standi wear, and that la the gear caste. Coal of the slack variety. Is fe(t into a hopper. Prom there Ii t is ' fed into a' worm that is driven by electricity into a special grate that is part of the equip , jncnt of the fireman. There are only two regulations on thejwhole ' machine, one for coal and one for i. w ... . ..... . . . .. .. .1 a regulator sets tne.notj water temperature at any heat desired. and Is automatically arranged so that the heat will not fall below or go above that temperature. A new1 feature of the iron fire man is a thermostat control which operated from any part of the building desired in'whlch the. fire man is located. .There is a clock attachment which can be set as an ordinary alarm : clock, and, this starts the fire at any time desired without attention from - any one. , By making ' use of the gasses that are created - by : the burning of coal, considerable heat is save that is ordinarily wasted, and it is the claim of the company that several dollars 4s saved by the fireman on ;the fuel' bill alone. besides dispensing with the serv ices of a stoker. - as proor mat this is not an idle boast. Prank Bligh, who has had two 'of the machines installed. one in the Bligh hotel and one in the new Salem hotel, asserts that he expects the machine in the Bligh hotel to pay for Itself in one year by the saving on the fuel bill. Besides which' he claims .he will .have a steady flow of hot- water and the even heat he desir- es. .,. nauue ueue, wno.nad one of the I firemen Installed at the Cray-Belle last April, -l also - ex presses himself, as highly pleased with the results of the machine, - At first the firemen were made only for large commercial boilers, but recently the company has. de veloped a smaller fireman. for use in appartment bouses ' or resid ences using furnaces. The first machine of this kind to be install ed ' in the United States was in stalled at the Adsitt apartment of this city. ; ; - Demands for the machine the east has reached large propor tlons, and Indications' are that the manufacturing "of the " " machines will do a great deal toward the advancement " of the prestige Oregon manufacturing.
