A number of requests for aabes
toa properties in Oregon have re-
cenuy own received at the office of
the State Bureau of Minca. Asbes
toa occurs In many places, mostly in
k. It
" wijaune areas or the state.
It is found on upper Evans' crk
and at other points, In Jackson coun
ty; also in the Galice district' of
Josephine county; and in a number
of places along the headwaters of
John Day river In the. vicinity of
Canyon and Prairie City in eastern
Oregon. , ;
Notwithatandbif these numerous
known occurrences, the State Bureau
of Mine ia not aware that a single
asbeetoa property in the state has
bn sufficiently developed that the
t . . .
uurwu can even recommend lor ex
amination bv a nroHDecttv
w m r w F wwrnt
It is believed that the increasing
uses lor suDeHios, together with the
favorable prices which prevail at
present warrant development of
some of our Oregon deposits.
The particular property which
renders asbestos of use is its fib
rous structure. The degree of flex
ibility and tensile strength and the
length of the Individual fibers, de
termine its value. AsbeKtos also
possesses the other desirable char
acteristic of non-combustibilfty and
of low conductivity to both heat and
electricity. Asbestos products are
also used for many purposes where
capacity to resist acids and alkalis
and sea-water are prime requisites.
There are several fibrous minerals
in nature but only two are used to
any extent in the production of as
bestos. These arc amphibole and
chrysotile, the latter a variety of
serpentine. Amphibole forms pock
ets or veins 'in schistose and slaty
rucks and often contains gritty im
purities that are difficult to remove
and which along with a lower flexi
bility and strength in the fibers usu
ally render it of less value commer
cially than the chrysotile variety.
The latter occupies seams in ser
pentine rocks, its fibers being rnre
!y over 2',i inches in length, while
occurrences of the amphibole variety
nre known which furnish fibers 6 to
8 ami even 10 inches in length.
In the vein types the fibers run di-r-.-ilv
across and arc thus referred
to as "cross-fiber'' asbestos. "Slip
fiber" occurs along planes in the
rock where movement or slipping
has taken place; whilo in the "mass"
fiber type the entire rock is com
posed of irregularly oriented groups
or bundles of parallel fibers.
The milling of asbestos consists
of erindinc and assorting and grad
ing the product. Grinding is done
hi. hk'li-snecd beaters and stamps,
which "fiberue" the mineral after
the rock has been broken down m
the quarry, hand-cobbed and crushed
nnnrnnr into size. Assorting and
o-rndinir of the pulverized material
is accomplished by screens ami in, air
currents produced by suction fans.
Asbestos is the most important
fire-proofing material known. It is
woven into fabrics tor tneaire iu
tains and clothing and employed in
the manufacture of building mater
ials, shingles, stucco, lumber, as
bestos paper, millboard, in non-conducting
pipe coverings, all types of
furnaces and in locomotives. It is
ued in making fire-proof safes -and
vaults, and for cold-storage and
cooling structures, and as insulation
in electrical appliances. In ' recent
years asbestos is being usea -filler
in high grade paints.

CORVALLIS HEN LAYS
131 EGGS IN 131 DAYS
Corvallifl Oregon Vin now
champion. The maker of this new
world's record is a hen, and she lives
at the Crestview poultry farm at
corvallis. She has just broken a
world's record by laying 131 eggs in
lol consecutive days.
Beginning on March 5 of the pres
ent year, this hen decided to make a
world's record. In order to do this
she produced a rather large white egg
each morning. This was toothing
unusual, as the hens on the 7 Crest
view farm are In the habit of doing
that sort of thing, but when her
owner, G. B. Coon, noticed that there
waa hen on the trapnest record
whoae column stretched out for 20 or
more days without a miss, he be
gan to notice her more closely. He
discovered that hen No. 296 was a
fairly large individual with a deep
body set squarely on her legs and
that she laid her eggs each morning
at nearly the same time, 8:30
o'clock. She kept up this perform
ance for 131 days without a break
and then decided it was time for a
short vacation. She took just one
holiday, , and since then has been
laying continuously, and the owner
ia wondering what her next record
will be.
If all the hens in Oregon were
like hen 29C, what a tremendous out
put of eggs we would have. The
eggs laid by this busy fowl in the
period of 131 days would weigh
about four times as much as the hen
herself. Each dozen of her eggs
weighs 25 ounces and would go to
the Portland market as "selects."
With all her prowess as a producer
ducer of high-class breakfast food,
hen No. 296 has no name. Mr. Coon
has- tried several and none seems
quite good enough.

RAILROAD RATE INCREASES
AND THE FAMILY PURSE
BY FRANK H. FAYANT,
Assistant to the Chairman, Associa
tion of Railway Executives
If the cost of living is ' raised
more than 2 by the $1,200,000,000
increase Iri freight charges,' it will be
plain evidence that ' middlemen and
retailers are ' taking an unfair ad
vantage of the public. An increase
of 2 In average ' prices would be
the maximum cost of the rate' ad
vance if there were Ao change in
other force 4 acting on the price
level. But the general . tendency of
price's le now f downward. r-We have
passed the peak of 1 war ' Inflation.
It is reasonable to believe; therefore,
that prices will Ml rather than rise
after the new rates are in effect.
' The fact; I, that in the production
of most articles of .common daily
consumption, the transport charge 'is
so small that an increase in rates
has no appreciable , effect in the
family budget. In bulky articles
like coal, of course, where transpor
tation is a very large part of the
process of production and distribu
tion, an increase f in freight, rates
necessarily means higher prices.
But even these comparatively large
increases in particular commodities
may be absorbed as a result of oth
er forces working for lower prices
The increase in passenger rates,
while producing a very much small
er amount of additional revenue
than the new freight ates, will
strike more directly at the average
man's pocketbook. But the new
passenger rates will raise travel ex
penses less than $3 per capita a
year, or less than one cent a day
Suburban residents, who travel
thousands of miles a year for the
pleasure of living in the country
while working in the city, will pay
much more than this average.
The $1,500,000,000 of additional
froierhf onH tMnscticpr rpvpnne to
- - v . t r I
be paid by the .public for railroad
service under the new rates will not
go into the treasuries of the rail
roads nor into the pockets of the
owners. Practically all of this ad
ditional revenue will, go directly to
the two million railroad , workers
whose wages have been established
on the new level after the most care
ful consideration of all the facts by
a government wage board.
The recent wage award in Chic
ago gave to the railroad employes
an additional $625,000,000 a year or
an increase of more than $300 to
each employe. During the two years
of government operation of rail
roads, because of the increase in the
cost of living, the Railroad Admin
istration raised wages by more than
$1,000,000,000 a year. The total in
crease in wages, therefore, since
May, 1918, when the Lane Wage
Board made its first award, is more
than $1,600,000,000 a year, or con
siderably more than the new freight
and passenger rates will produce.
The increases in rates made by
the government in 1918, which pro
duced about $900,000,000 additional
revenue, were practically all ab
sorbed by the increased prices for
fuel and materials consumed in rail
road operation. A3 a very large
nart of the increase cost of coal and
materials purchased by the rairoads
has been due to the more than 100
raise in wages paid workers in these
other industries, it is plain that the
great bulk of the $2,400,000,000 in
crease in railroad rates in the past
three years goes to the wage earners.
Under the new scale of railroad
wages, the average annual earnings
per employe will be $1900, as com
pared with $380 at the beginning of
the war. This is an increase of
129. The railroad payroll today
is on the basis of $3,600,000,000 a
jyear, or $2,000,000,000 more than it
would be if the employes were being
paid at the pre-war rates.
These plain facts show vthat the
railroad owners do not receive
$1,500,000,000 - or any appreciable
part of it. For some time to come
there is not likely to be any consid
erable increase in the returns paid
to the owners of railroad securities.
The effect of the award of the Com
merce Commission is to enable the
railroads to pay fair wages to their
employes and to continue to make
the modest return to their security
owners that they did before the war.
Larger returns to the owners will
onlv be possible as a result of in
tensive work on the part of the
managements to increase efficiency.
