Better Construction Looted
for- in Modern -Home-'
-" ; Building Movement ,
.Back to brick is a growing: ten
dency in the modern home-building
movement In America. The
"Better Homes" idea, which has
permeatfa all through the United
States during the past few years,
has naturally called attention to
the beantjry stability and economy
of the old brick homes and other
structures , of our; eastern and
southern states; structures,' many
of them; built in the old colonial
days, after, the English style, be
fore our country asserted Its In
dependence of all things English
and embarked upon its great pe
riod of expansion which conquered
a continent but which bonded
mainly of logs and lumber. : :!
Viewing . these, j beautiful : old
mansions, whose walls defy you' to
-guess whether they are one hun
dred, two hundred or three hun
dred years old; which are still
substantial, comfortable and im
posing homes with an atmosphere
of tradition and history which
cannot attach itself to homes of
less permanent material, one with
the spirit of the "Better. Homes'
movement cannot fail to realize
that a real home can be produced
only of material which will defy
the years and the centuries; it
must be a home for the ; family,
not .for one generation but for
generation after generation; a
permanent . refuge to which . the
de scendanta of its builder many
Teturn, So, all over the land, we
find advocates of the return to
brick construction to give per
manence, beauty and character to
American homes.
It Is ' back to brick, for brick
Is modern only in the improve
ments in its manufacture and use.
Its origin is lost in the dim cen
turies of .the past. For thousands
of years it has been 8 standby for
him who would buUd to found a
real home". : Y. . . '..;; v-V.
In . Europe, . where - economy . is
the watchford of most nations,
brick -,s the . preponderating ma
terial for both homes and greater
structures. For centuries Europe
has builded to endure; has under
stood the great saving to the fa
mily and the iation In construc
tion with lasting"materlaliwhlcn
defy fire and the elements; in
which shelter and comforts may
be enjoyed at a minimum of ex
penditure from generation to gen
eration. .V: 'i
England, whos moist climate
- ''most, closely approximates that of
' -..Washington and Oregon west of
; the Cascades has builded with
- brick for centuries and furnishes
"y countless examples of the beauty
' and endurance of old brick struc
" tares. Many a home, mansion or
t Cottage., centuries old, still rears
la. solid front and houses a family
u 'In comfort; for its thick solid
walls shut out the cold and damp
- of winter and the beat of summer.
. the while they preserve the in
' ter'ior woodwork.
t For the" past century, western
'American has confined its use of
s brick largely to commercial struc
tures., apartment houses and pub-
'r lie "buildings. Though these build
y ings constantly . demonstrate the
i merits of brick construction, the
mistaken impression that brick
construction is costly, has turned
the American home builders larg
ely; to "frame construction. The
fact that any excess in the initial
cost of a. brick home is quickly
made up by saving in painting,
upkeep, repairs and insurance is
just now getting Into the public
mind and is a factor in the back
to brick movement in home build
in?. ; T -;y;:
. There is more than permanence
and economy in . brick homes.
There is beauty attained in no
other material of which homes are
built. Even the freshly built brick
walla has its beauty for no two
brick, whjeh adjoin each other in
a wall are exactly alike. Soft,
variegated shades of color give
beauty even to the new wall and,
as brick ages and . weathers, the
brick home seems to take its place
as a part of the landscape; to
blend with the colors of its na
tural surrounaings. , 't
Though brick, is ages old, Am
erican architects i have recently
added much to the beauties of Ks
use. To the pattern work, the
arches and columns which beauti
fy homes of the past and the
present have been added clever
arrangements of brick which
make possible the construction of
beautiful homes i from common
grades of brick. "Skimtled Brick
work" is the name given to these
new arrangements of brick the
most striking of which is to set
the brick roughly at different
angles so as to 'leave projections
and recesses in the wall surface,
and permit the squeezed out mor
tar to remain and harden.: The
result is striking and colorful.
Sklntled Brickwork is being used
in many handsome brick homes in
Chicago and vicinity.

SALE3I
DALLAS, Ore., Oct, 17 One of
the . largest transfers of Polk
county timber here this week with
the recording of a deed from the
Weyerhaeuser Timber company to
the Charles K. Spaulding Logging
company, transferring 1855.45
acres to the Spaulding interests.
The deed bore 1112.50 in Intern
revenue stamps, indicating a pur
chasing price of 1112,500.
The land transferred is in town
ship 9, range 7 west, in what is
known as the Bald mountain coun
try on the Bik Luckiamute water
shed, in the southwestern part of
Poul county. It contains 88,115.-
000 feet of timber, according to
Fred J. Holman, county assessor,
and was assessed at 144,410.
The area is now being logged
by Spaulding over the Valley &
Siletz Railway. The sale disposes
of approximately one-third of the
Weyerhaeuer holding in Polk
county and leaves the balance
well consolidated .
The largest mortgage ever
placed on record in Polk county
has been filed for recording with
County Clerk H. G. Black. It is
a trust deed from the Charles K.
Spaulding Logging company to the
Detroit Trust company of Detroit,
Mich., to secure $1,000,000 of 10
year 6 per cent bonds.
The mortgage covers all of the
extensive Spaulding timber bold-
ings in Polk county, the mills of
the company at Salem and New
berg and some timber holdings in
Benton county. It bears $500 in
internal revenue stamps-
The mortgage satisfies a similar
one for $900,000 Issued May 1,
1919, and stipulates- that the
funds derived are for the purpose
of refunding existing debts, pay
ing .existing and future carrying
charges on timber lands, and for
operating and other proper cor
porate purposes. The bonds are
dated October 1, 1925, and run
20 years, with provision for retire
ment in blocks of $25,000 or more
at th option of the Spanlding com
pany. .
; The mortgage recites that
$150,000 of the bond issue shall
bot be certified now, but held by
the company until it shall desire
to sell the bonds and use the pro
ceeds for purchase of additional
timber. '
