; QREGOrJ PRODUCT
Mechanical Contrivance
Furnace Proving Effic
ent: and Popular
for
; A distinctly Oregon product' is
the ."Iron fireman," manufactured
by the Iron Fireman Manufacture
ing company of Portland. 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.

SILVERTON. Or.. Sept. 25.
(Special to The Statesman.) The
beauty of the SUyeton , natural
park is to be enhanced, according
to the report submitted by the
park commission to the city coun
cil and accepted by the latter
body. For the past six months
the commission has been in con
sultation with landscape garden
ers for the improvement of the
park. Plans are now completed
: The Silverton park is said to be
one of the finest natural parks in
Oregon. It contains about five
acres of fir and oak trees. On
one side it Is guarded by Liberty
hill and on the east side runs Sil
ver "creek. A year ago a swim
ming pool was built into the
creek. Cement steps for seating
purposes were built along the
banks. Dressing rooms and shoots
were added. Besides i these im
provements comfort- stations, a
cement tennis court, which is also
used for dancing and roller skat
ing, a children's wading pool, are
among the other improvements
added during the past year.
The new plans call for the plant
ing of 137S shrubs of various
kinds, the erection of a new
speaker's and band stand, a side
hill seating arrangement and a
number of scenic walks and by
paths.
'-,The park was' a donation of the
Cool Id ge & McClaine estate, and
Is fast becoming the mecca of
Willamette valley" pliickrt.
Among the picnics held here dur
ing the past summer were the
American Legion, the Southern
Pacific, the Loyal Legion of Log
gers and Lumbermen, besides a
number of annual lodge picnics.
