WHAT IS BELOW OUR SOIL?
What is below our soil, and what is underneath the thin
crust of the earth that is beneath our feet? We know little
about these things
And beyond this little, one man's guess is as good as
another's.
We have "always" supposed that our red hills soils, here
in the Willamette valley, which are quite extensive, were
, made in the geological long ago by volcanic ash tinged with
iron ere, making them red ; like the rust from iron. There
are abundant evidences of volcanic ash formations in many
parts of Oregon, showing that the mountains of the Cascades
were once active. volcanoes; perhaps the mountains of the
Coast Range, too. Prof. Condon while he lived proved that
.the whole of the inland empire country of Oregon and Wash
ington was once a great inland lake, and that it was filled
up with the volcanic ash of the mountains surrounding it.
Not in one year of thirteen .lunar months, certainly, nor in ten
thousand of them; perhaps not in a million of them but
little by little, for a very long time, even estimated by geolog
ical ages.
But Prof. D Livingstone, teacher of geology at tne
Oregon Agricultural college, and a minnig engineer and a
chemist of outstanding ability as compared with the great
est men in that realm) , found in an examination of the lime
deposits near Falls City on Sunday, that the red soil above
the lime rock there was not made by: volcanic ash. It was
left as the residue of the lime rock as It settled down; the
ancient lime rock having been tinged with iron.
, This may not be a very scientific way of putting the
matter, but it tells the layman about what happened some
millions of years before his first named ancestor, Adam, was
born - . -J
And if that is the fact concerning the lime deposit near
Falls City, it may be at least inferred that possibly it is the
' case with the other red hills soils in the Willamette valley.
There may be a potential lime quarry under every acre of
this red hills soil. Prof. Livingstone does not say that. He,
with his kind, is very skittish about saying anything not
proven as a fact.
v But there is no law against the rest of us drawing infer
ences and making deductions.
Well, then, there may be billions of tons of limerock
under our red hlils soils ; more than we can ever use up in all of
.our future paper mills and sugar factories and buildingoper
ations of all kinds, and for grinding into agricultural lime to
sweeten our perpetually souring soils; our soils that become
iacid the more they are cropped and their lime taken away
by; the crops.
None of us has thought
. The water of all our streams
' But it fs certain that "hard" water, very hard water,
filled with, lime, comes from the spring that supplies the
reservoir with t drinking, water for the state, tuberculosis
Lahospital - ' . i 5 s
r And there are mountains of lime rock in. the Falls Citj
district running down perhaps . more than 100 feet deep ;
and there is a great deal of lime rock 700 to 800 feet lower,
near Marqua'm; that is, nearer thesea level. The sea levels
tdo hot amount to much in "such calculations
For there is a . mountain in Calif ronia that is moving
north at the rate of 44 inches ayear, and the southern
Oregon caves are rising higher each year. As suggested in
the first paragraph, we do not know what is happeningSn
derneath the earth's thin crust underneath our feet. Much
Jless do we know what was happening a million or a hundred
million years ago. , r
K But the suggestion is that red hills farmers might poke
around i little. Some of them may be potential billinoaires,
and not be even dreaming of the possible values beneath, the
tred surface of their holdings . .
For this is the lime and cement and concrete age, and
- getting more so every blessed day. ;

of our valley as a lime country.
Is "soft" water.
nt Oregon state fair is going
the one jus held; or the one held
last year. And we will be safe in this as long as there is pro
gress in Oregon, drid more so 'as long as there i good man
agement, as now. .
Mrs. Wilson has provided a number of improvements
since the last fair, notably the new automobile buikling,:ost
ing over $27,000, and paid for but of money she has made
or saved from the former fairs; mostly last year's.
You will admire the building. Remember that it is there
on account of the good and thrifty management of a woman ;
Mrs. Wilson, secretary of the state fair board.
As to the progress of Oregon, it is and will continue to
be partly due to the friendly rivalry invited and carried on
through the medium of the state fair
And that is the principal reason for the existence of this
annual exhibition.
Come back next year, every year, and see the new build
ings and other improvements. It is your fair. It belongs to
the whole pepole.
EVERY ACRE, EVERY TOWN LOT
Let the farmers of the Willamette valley sign up for
8000 acres of sugar beets for the proposed sugar factory in
Salem
And dollars will be added to the potential value of every
acre of land in this valley, and every city and town lot
For this will mean about a million dollars more a year for
the crops of our farmers, and more than another million
dollars more through the feeding of the by-products to say
nothing of the wage earners in the factory; to say nothing of
the investment in the factory of a million to a million and a
half dollars
And to say nothing of the other beet sugar factories that
will follow ; for this whole valley is going finally to be filled
with such factories; a hundred of them, in time.

Where is the red hills farmer
who, after reading The Statesman
of this morning, will not be look
ing for lime stone quarry below
the surface of his soil? Say com
mencing about twenty feet below
the surface, and in, some cases
cropping out onto the surface.
This is not saying that every
red hills farmer will find a quar
ry on his farm.; nor is it saying
that if he does find lime rock that
it carries a high enough percen
tage of pure lime to make it com
mercially valuable. .
V S
Lime stone is not strictly rock.
It is the remains of dead sea fish,
mostly shell fish, principally; sea
life that became extinct several
or many millions of years ago.
Just the same as the oyster shells
of the present time. They are
lime. The poultryman grinds
oyster shells to feed to his hens,
so they can lay eggs with firm
shells. They are made of lime.
The Oregon state lime plant at the
prison is grinding lime rock now
to Bell to the poultrymen. Several
grades of It.
m
The state fair board yesterday
made a rule, or. promulgation,, or
law, that there shall be no agents
canvassing for anything at the
fair. . Directed at the strong-arm
new-paper solicitors, principally.
It would be a good rule, if It were
moderated. It should be changed,
at once; allowing newspaper soli
citors to work in their booths only,
and to not offer premiums. That
is the way. the Washington fairs
handle the matter. That Is fair.
The way it stands now, it is like
preventing soda pop sellers from
offering drinks, because some one
or more pop sellers- are bootleg
gers. That would not be right. It
would be punishing the innocent
for the guilty. That rule ought
to, be changed; not next year.

tstration was praised by the con
gressman who said that it placed
the - government on a business
oasis:
The last congress passed on all
foreign debt settlements except
inKU
ei-' ...
the. French which is still before
the senate. Mr. Crumpacker said
that the debt settlements were
based on what the traffic would
bear and that it allowed the coun
tries .62 years in which to pay
their debts. The United States on
the other hand will refund its
debts on a 25 year basis.
Oregon was especially favored
during the last session, Mr. Crum
packer said, in that a complete
survey of the Willamette river
will be made from" Portland to
Salem with a view of increasing
and extending water transporta
tion. He also stated that close to
a million dollars will be spent on
the Umpqua river project for de
velopment and that a re-survey of
the Willamette and Columbia riv
ers will be made from Portland
to the sea. This will enable the
present channel to be increased
from 300 feet in width to 500
feet and the ultimate hope is for
a 35 foot depth channel. Mr.
Crumpacker said that such devel
opment was an aid to the entire
state and that Portland taxpayers
themselves had spent 25 million
on Columbia and Willamette riv
ers development. This has been
matched by an almost equal sum
by the government and places
Oregon in touch by water trans
portation with all the. seaports and
trade centers of the world.
Other speakers were C. B. Wil
son, president of the Newberg
chamber of commerce, who asked
for the support of the Salem body
in making the Newberg-Woodburn
highway a state highway. This Is
becoming an important connecting
link between, the east and west
side highways and the traffic
warrants that such action be
taken, he said.
F. G. Deckebach made a motion
that a committee be appointed, to
meet with other civic committees
next Monday for the purpose of
making some plan of relief fxr
the Mount Angel college which
was destroyed a week ago. Mr.
Deckebach told of the importance
of the college to the community
and the work that it has done.
