DISTRICT IS R|CH IN
 ITS CLAY DEPOSITS Extensive Development in This
 Section Seems Probable CLAYS OF FINE QUALITY Northern Manufacturer of Successful Experience Has Been Making Inves- tigations-He Speaks in Strong
 Terms of Alabama clays.
CLAYS OF FINE QUALITY

The clay deposits of the Birmingham district are just now attracting renewed and increased attention and in the near future may form, it is thought, the basis of some important enterprises.
 A northern manufacturer of clay pro- duets with twenty years successful ex- perience was here last week Investigating the matter and was so impressed with what he found that he told Secretary J. B. Babb of the Commercial club that he confidently predicted that within a few years the clay industry in this section would equal in importance either coal or iron.
 Of Superior Quality
 "So far as l know" this gentleman said to Mr Babb, there are no clay de- posits in the country that can approach those in this section in quality quantity and variety Undoubtedly the only reason that their manufacture has so far been limited to brick pipe and pottery is due to the fact that there has been so many attractive investment opportunities offer ed by the development of the coal and iron industries that they have been over looked, or perhaps have not been reached yet.
 Some of the most beautiful and sub stantial houses in the north are built from hollow blocks made from clay such as abounds in this section and some day the same will be true of the south and, in fact, there is no better or more beautiful building material
 The Possibilities.
 But the building blocks is by no means the most important item of what can be made from the clays here. There are many finer articles of art and practical utility that can be made. Besides this there is an excellent tile clay in this district"
 Secretary Babb has had other enquiries about the surrounding clay deposits and has some plans on foot to try to promote their development.

naught but hang on and incidentally
try to stop the frightened horses. The
distance between the two contending

WESTON CITIZENS ALL AG0G
SAID TO BE LOOKING
FOR A PASS THROUGH BLUE
MOUNTAINS.

WESTON, Ore, Jan. Inquiries
are being made by railroad companits
of people in the vicinity of Weston in
regard to a feasible pass over the Blue
mountains, the elevation Of the pass
the kind of country to be encountered
and the practicability of building a
railroad line across the mountains.
Letters of inquiry have been written
on blank paper and were signed I. w.
Dudley, agent, room 513 Holman block,
Seattle, Washington, leaving the peo-
pie in doubt as to what road Dudley
represents.
1t is rumored that surveying parties
will shortly enter the field, and it is
believed that the Milwaukee in seek
ing a pass to the coast considers this
the best way from Boise to the Grand
Ronde, and over the Blue Mountains
to Portland by way of the Columbia
river crossing the Columbia on a mon
ster steel bridge at or near Wallula.
A favorable pass exists at the head
of the north fork Of Wild Horse creek
in the Blue mountains A moderate
grade can be secured up the creek I'M
til high plateau is reached, where a
road could be easily constructed at
moderate cost After reaching the
plateau a level stretch Of country
would be encountered for many miles,
when the descent into the Grand Ronde
valley could be made with compare
tive ease.
