CLAY TESTS SATISFACTORY.
Variety Of Bricks and Terra Gotta
Made From Astoria Clay.

Manager Whyte and guests made
an official visit to the kiln yesterday
afternoon and were shown the pro-
ducts OF Clatsop clay in experienced
hands. The bricks and terra Gotta
made from the several varieties OF
clay found in this section have been
taken from the kiln by Mr.. Lew Ogan
and he is highly pleased with the
results obtained while working with
the crudest methods. To fire brick
and terra Gotta in the same kiln and
at the same time where one kind must
be surrounded on all sides to protect
from the direct heat and Withdrawing
some that required only 1000 degrees
and running the kiln up to 2400 and
2800 degrees for other varieties is
not the easiest thing to accomplish.
Some of the colors that have been
made are artistic to a marked degree.
Buff, white, chocolate, speckled and
red brick and the solid vitrihed black
paving brick are the colors produced.
Drain pipe glazed and unglazed arc
amongst the products of Clatsop
clay.
For the buff colors Mr.. Ogan says
he can hold the supremacy Of the
Northwest as it compares favorably
with the famous Milwaukee and Den
yer bluffs.
Mr. +. J. Shaw Of the American
Clay Machinery Company will be in
the city Monday and will attend the
meeting of the Chamber Of Com
merce. The brick tests made under
the auspices Of the Chamber will be

On account of the nature of the day
no school will be held today. a full
holiday being given the children for
the purpose of gathering flowers and
shrubbery to be planted in the school
grounds.
One portion of the exercises yester-
day which was especially noticeable

tory by the state school laws and is
without doubt wise provision.
In this manner the reading of the
laws taking place twice every year.
the lesson of needed preservation of
fish and game is thoroughly drilled

Today a large party of the chill
dren, chaperoned by Superintendent
Cullen and the teachers. will journey

following in the state and it may
be that his candidacy will not only
be indorsed by the convention but
that the Nevada delegation Will be,
