Summarized by Bureau
Washington, D. C, May 30. A pre
"iiainary statement of the general re
sults of the census of manufacturers
for Oregon has been issued by direct
or Sam L. Rogers, of the bureiu of the
census department of commerce, it
consists of a summary comparing the
figures for 1UU9 and 1014, by totals,
prepared under tho direction of Mr.
Wi;i:am M. Scunrt, chief statistician
for manufacturers.
The figures, are preliminary and sub
;ject to such change and correction as
may be found from a further exami
nation cf ttiu original reports.
The census of 1SH4, like that of
jfi(), with r f.'rencc to manufacturers,
excluded the hand trades, the building
trades, and the neighborhood indus
tries, and took account o? establish
meats conducted under the factory sys
tem. In the last census, also, as in
liiat for LtOil, statistics were not col
Icctcl for establishments having pro

during a portion of the census you,
or which began operation during ihit
:year, !and whose products for such
reason were valued at less than $n(JC.
The word "establishment" as used
in the census reports may mean more
than one mill or plant, provided they
aie owned or controlled and operated
by fa single indiidu.Jl, partnership,
corporation, or other owner or operator
and are located in the same towu or
city.
The reports were taken for tho cal
endar year ending December 31, 1914,
whenever the system of bookkeeping
permitted figures for that period to
be secured, but when the fiscal year
of an establishment differed from ine
calendar year a report w.ts obtained
for the operations of that establish
ment for it 3 fiscal year falling most
largely within the calendar wear 1911.
Percentages of Increase
The population of Oregan at !',ie
census of 1910 was 672,7oT, and it is
estimated that it was 783,000 on Juiy
1, 1914.
The summary shows a consistent in
crease for the census of 1914, as com
pared with that for 1909. In the or
der of their importance, from a per
centage standpoint, the several items
rank as follows: Capital, 3ti.fi per cent;
salaries, 40.4 per cent; salaried em
ployees, 2".(i per cent; primary horse
power, 2o.3 per cent; cost of materials,
15.1 per cent; value of products, lo
jer cent; value added by manufacture,
Sj.5 per cent; wages, 5.2 per cent; m.iu
b:r of establishments, 3.3 per cent; ana
vage earners, 0.3 per cent.
Capital Invested
The capital invested, as reported ii.
1914, was iji 130,500,000, i gain of
f-"0,41 8.000, or 50.fi per cent, oer .9,
0S2,000 in 1909. The average capital
er establishment was npproximaltly
(-00,000 in 1914 and $40,000 in 1909. In
mis connection it should be stated, t'.iat
t.ie inquiry contained in the census
schedule calls for the total amount of
capital both owned and borrowed, in
vested in the business, but excludes
tnc v.ilue of rented property, plant,
or equipment which was employed in
the conduct of nianufacnuring enter
prises. In the final bulletins and re
ports the rental paid fur sm h prop
erty will be shown separately.
Cost of Materials
The tost of materials used v. as 6.V
'.38,000 in 1914, as against .50,552,U0i;

per cent. The average per establish
ment was approximately $47,000 in
1914 and $41,000 in 1909.

cost of materials used and the value ot
the products manufactured from them.

HOW TO BE SLIM
If you are too fat and want to
roduce your weight 15 or 20
pounds, don't starve and weak-
en ' your system, or think you
must always be laughed at on
account of your fat, but go to
Central Pharmacy or any
good druggist, and get a
box of Oil of Korein capsules,
take one after each meal and
one before retiring at night.
Weigh yourself once a week
and note what a pleasant and
rclinblo method this is for re-
moving superfluous fat from
any part of the body.
It costs little, is absolutely
harmless and a week's trial
should convince anyone that it
is unnecessary to be burdened
with even a single pound of un-
sightly fat.
FIRE IN FLAX PLAN!
Two Convicts Suspected May
Be Prosecuted la Marion
County Courts
A strong rumor which refused to
down was floating about the official
circles of the state house this morning
that the tire which wrecked three of
the buildings of the prison flax plant
recently was of incendiary origin and
was started by two convicts, It was
reported that the names of the convicts
had bocn furnished to District Attorney
Ringo for presentation to the grand
jury but Mr. Ringo refused to divulge
the names of the men suspected. War
den Minto likewise refused to discuss
tue matter but his refusal did not car
ry with it a denial that the rumor was
true.
It is said that other convicts on the
inside informed on the two guilty ones
soon after the fire and that two men
had been languishing in the dungeon
since the conflagration. At the time
of the fire Warden Minto gavo it out
as his opinion that the fire started
from a spontaneous combustion nncTex-
plosion of dust and lint but the fire
started in the dTy kiln room where
there is no lint from the machinery and
where the dust is not allowed to pile
up.
Dissatisfaction at a recent order of
VNarden Alinto which cut down the al
lowance of sugnr nnd tobacco to Dre-
vent gambling itisido the prison is said
to be responsible for the work of the
two disgruntled convicts who set fire to
the flax plant.

r STATE NEWS ;
Eogue River Courier: An offer of $77
per ounce for the platinum output of
his mine on the Illinois river has been
declined by Jeo. B. Anderson, who will
hold the precious metnl. wnrth nooriv
fivo times its wieght in gold, for a rise
in uiu marser. f our years ago Mr. An
derson was carefully picking out the
white metal that was too henw fn ni.h
out of the yellow dust and throwing it
into the discard so that it might not
spoil the appearance of tho cold. Rut
today it is a different story, and the 10
uuui-.es wmcn Mr. Anderson brought to
town yesterday could be exchanged for
$770 in. cold. When th clinr!ilo nf
the white metal had been determined,
iur. Anuerson commenced saving it for
the market, his first sale having oeen
of 10 ounces that brought, him $29 an
ounco three years ago. The Anderson
mine gives a recovery of about that
much platinum alonir with its irnl.l in
c-ery winter's run, and tho value is
rast mounting Higher.
Mcdford Mail: A sample of sugar
oeets planted on the Oregon-Utah Sugar
company's contracted acreage in the
Central Point and Meadows districts
was exhibited today to show the re
marknble growth attained this parly in
the season. A portion of the sample
bunch was raised on black loam and the
other on clay loam, the seed having
been planted in Mareh. The growth
in each case is large and apparently
vigorous. The beets are nymmetrically
formed and have excellent color. They
promise an excellent crop nnd ore an
other assurance that the Rogue river
soils are superior for sugar beet pro
duction. Lake County Kxaminer: The artesian
well gt tho Lakeview ranch is down 18,3
feet at the present time. Work was dis
continued for a time on account of the
non-arrival of easing. Artonian water
has beeu struck, but at the present
time there is only a small flow. How
ever, the water rises 10 feet above the
water table. Artesian water was first
encountered before the drill had gone
down a hundred feet, and the deeper
the well was drilled, the nearer the
water came to the surface. Mr. Powell,
who is doing the work, is confident
that an excellent flow of water will be
otruck by going a tittle deeper.
If plans which are being discussed in
Mninhfield among a number of capital
ists mature a new industry will be
established on Coos bay that will r;ive
employment to 500 men, says the
Reword. R. O. Smith and Frank B.
Waite are the promoters of a briquet
ting plant which would have an initial
output of 2.30 tons daily. Smith hns
been experimenting with Coos bay coal
and claims to have perfected a briquet
which leaves none of tho moistur1, ash
or volatile matter and will bnm Kpial
to the best Eastern anthracite. The
company can produce briquettes at. a
price that will compare more than
favorably with the present figures for
coal and have, besides, the by-products,
such as gas, power fr electricity und
dye materials.
The promoters claim that the briquetr
tes they would manufacture would be
bought by the United Htates navy
which is now paying $10 per ton for
steaming coal on the Pacific Cosst and
this company eould sell at $7 per ton
and make a good profit. "Establish
ment of a briquetting plant would
mean,' ' says the Record, ' 'a naval coal
ing station here, and perhaps a baw as
well." The cost of such an industry is
heavy and would mean about $300,000
as an investment.
The Opp mine, near Jacksonville, in
which new machinery has been in

about, completed the installation of the
machinery for the oil flotation process.
Ho will put in a Chilian mill, which is
conceded superior to the ordinary
stamp mill, increaing the capacity for
