But five minutes out of seven hours is not long. Huey talked

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
CONTINUING, today, Linsey Bise
m ore's reminiscences of saxiy
days In Southern Oregon.
AS Mr. Blaemor remtrabsra rt.
the second Industrial enter
prise in tha Rogue River valley (the
first was a salt factory) waa a pot
tery. It was started by a man nam
ed Harm a.
He got his clay from a cut bank
on the Rogue, and hauled It severs
miles in a wagon to hla home,
where hla pottery was operated. Th
clay was ground up In a crude mill
operated by mule power.
When brought to the proper con
sistency, 1( was shaped on a pot
ter's wheel by Mr. Henna' ski Ilea
hands'.
ej"HE potter's wheel, In case you
do not know, Is a flat disc,
which Is whirled at considerable
speed by a foot-power treadle. The
wet clay is placed on this whirling
disc and shaped by th potter's
hands. The potter's wheel la on or
the earliest machines known to
have been made by man).
Mr. Henna's standard
articles of manufacture waa a
shallow vessel for holding milk
which was probably known as a
"crock," that being the usual name
for It the country over.
The milk was allowed to stand
In these vessels until th cream
had risen, so that It could be skim
med off. Many an older cltleen wilt
remember raiding these crocks ana
J eating the cream.
About all the younger generation
knows about cream la that It it
something that comes out of a spout
on the separator, or from a bottle
brought by th milkman.
ANOTHER, and rather specialise.,
article produced by Mr. Hanna s
pottery was a lamp made somewhat
In the shape of a champagne glass
(perhaps tha younger generation, at
least, will know what that means)
The top of thla lamp waa shaped ,
like a saucer, and in thla shallow
dish oil waa placed and a wick
dropped Into the oil and hung over)
the edge. Thla wick, when saturates
with oil, could.be lighted and usa
as a lamp.
It didn't give quite as good a
light as candles, but waa a lot less
trouble. ,
-
IN THOSE days, you see, there
wasn't' any Copco, which must
have left the politician rather out
on a limb. But then there were
fewer politicians.
ANOTHER standard article oi
household equipment in those
day a waa a "Brophy" holder.
A "Brophy," Mr, Slsemor ex
plains, was a little rolled -up spue
of paper, and the holder waa the
box In which these "Brophlea" were
kept. It was placed usually near to
the fireplace, and when somebody
wanted a light for a candle, or
lamp, or a pipe he took one ei
these slip of psper. ignited It from
the coals of the fire, used It for
whatever purpose he had In mind
and then carefully extinguished it
and put It back In the box for
future use.
They didn't waste much in those
days.

Brophtes" were usually made

it had served Ha Intended purpose

today. v
Introducing It progress report the
committee of the planning board rec
ommended that the Ideal arrange
ment would be to have first the legis
lative action and then the architec
tural competition, which would re
quire a special session early in the
fall. "The date for the proposed leg
islative session is all Important," the
committee stated.
The progress report recommended a
group capitol plan rather than a
single capitol building. In Its sum
mary on the considerations for sites,
and without making any recommen
dations, the report states:
1. The sit for the future capitol
should be very ample in sire, and In
such shape and location that it al
low satisfactory development of the
approach.
3. A capitol group requires even
more space than a single capitol
building. This committee recommends
a group plan,
3. The old capitol site 1 very In
adequate for many reasons.
4. There are only two proposed
sites which, in the spi.iion of this
committee, might satisfy the require
ments: (a) The "Bush pasture" tract or
land approached through It to the
south.
(b) The Willamette university cam
pus. Joined to the old site by con
demnation of a part of State street.
fl. No final recommendation is
made at this time.
