,THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON SUNDAY, JOSHING, OCTOBER 17.11926 7- V - 3 v i iffte' Lumberman to Give .500 for Home Built of Northwest Wood SEATTLE, Washington, October 15 A prize of $2,500 Is offered Ty C. W: Stimson, Seattle lumber man, for an all wood borne design which will best present the pos sibilities of woods-"natiTeto the Pacific northwest. , Mr. Stimson has offered this prize through'frhe West Coast Lumber Trade Exten sion Bureau of this city. It Is to be awarded in a nation wide eon test open to all interested persons. The contest will begin next Jan nary and close July 1,-1927; Other prizes In proportion, the Bureau stated, will be made, available. ""This prize," Mr. Stimson said today, "is offered to bring out ideas. 1 have no idea what kind of a design will result and I do not much care. I want to empha size the beauty and the perman enca In the oldest and most art istic building material we have- wcod. j "Few of ns realize," he con-' tinued, "that building in wood is the oldest form of construction known. It , antedates history. There are pagodas and temples in the Orient built from wood that are among ' the . oldest structures on earth and these are still the marvel of the engineer, the archi tect, and the 'artist,' In construc tion, use of wood, and in beauty. Our beautiful new Fifth Avenue theater here in Seattle is a good example of the architecture of the Orient, centuries old, which grew largely oufr.of a proper knowledge . and use of wood.

These are built of .wood because wood is the most durable and the strongest material for the conditions. "Gothie architecture, found in Its original purity in the beautiful old cathedrals of northern Europe, was at the start bet a reproduc tion of the trees la nearby forests. The tree, firat the home and sec ond the ideal from which the early architect get - his inspiration for the struct are, also gave the crafts man his building material. Some how I wish that an American arch itect, " artist or handicraftsman would translate the wbnde'rful trees of ojur Pacific northwest in to a type of home distinctive of our forests. That is what - the first Gothic architect did. It may be done again. "The contest is intended to bring the use of wood, particular ly west coast woods, to the close attention of those who design or who build homes. We have here in western Washington and Ore gon trees from which an Oriental pagoda or a Gothic cathedral or a beautiful modern home may be built. . We have also the finest softwoods , for interior finish known today to man. Ours is the only region in which timbers are available of the size and length we can readily supply and In the wide, clear pieces we can easily produce. I believe that popular and technical interest In our west ern forests will produce some very worth while specimens of; archi tecture. This is the reason for offering the prize." The contest will be conducted, the Bureau Btated,' under the com petition code of the American In stitute of Architects. The condi tions will be as follows: 1. The prize is offered for the design of a dwelling of wood, with J broad latitude in size and cost. . 2. It must be based on the use of woods native to the Pacific northwest. 3. It must develop the unusual possibilities of Pacific northwest woods. ." " ' . v 4.

Superintendent Rice of ' the Portland public schools called at tention to the fact that most of the subjects upon which Senator Eddy would have stress laid are elementary school subjects, and he questioned the placing of blame on the high schools. R. R. Turner, state, superin tendent of public instruction, characterized Mr. Eddy's talk as "an extravagant picture." School people are best fitted to wrestle with the problem of school cur ricula, he declared. Dr., De Busk of the University of Oregon, head of the research department of the Portland public schools, declared that the prob lems brought up by Senator Eddy were matters of long controversy in the educational field and that there is an abundance of material to be found in them. : ' 'You can't settle problems - by counting noses and that is all that hearings amount to," he asserted.
