USE FIREpRooF MATERIALS.
Large Increase in Output Of Fire-Re'
sistant Building Products in 1909.


Large Increase in Output of Fire-Re-
sistant Building Products in 1909
The enormous fire tax on the people
of the United States imposed by iiimsy
and infammable buildings, says Jeiier-
son Middleton of the United States
geological survey, in CLAY Working
Industries an advance chapter OF
Mineral Resources for 1909, has
aroused public sentiment on the sub
subject of fireproof construction, and as
a result the demand for freproof struc'
lures is increasing, and the growing
use of brick and other products
of burned clay has been the natural
consequence. The use Of hollow build
ing tile or blocks for outer walls seems
to be on the increase. Some very at
tractive architectural effects have been
produced with this tile in combination
with brick and with succeed outer sur
faces. Improvements in front brick,
both in texture and in color, have been
attained within the last few years and

duet as building material
Not ONLY was 1909 year OF pros
perity in the clay-working industries
but it was notable for the introduction
Of some important improvements The
most prominent of them is the brick
setting machine introduced in the west.
The idea of handling brick by machih-
cry originated in New England and q
plant equipped several years ago with
! an elaborate system was the first e
use the "unit stack" BY this system
the unit for handling was 1900 brick
This plant was destroyed by fire and
was never rebuilt In 1909 system
of handling from 600 to 1000 bricks on
somewhat different plan was put intC
successful operation in the west and 4

system it il possible for the brick t
| be carried from the molding machine
| to the drier, from the dTier 20 the kiln
and from the kiln to the stock yard
or the delivery car or cart without be-
| ing touched By hand Each Of these
machines is said to do the work Of 4
men
More and more attention is being
given to the preparation OF clay By
weathering. mixing grinding, screening
and tempering before it is paaset
through the molding machine. It hai
been found that the quality of the pro
duct is much improved by better prep
aration of the clay.
Concentration Of the Industry.
The number Of operating firms con
continues to decline A few years ag'
there we're scattered throughout tn
country many small plants, but tn
present tendency is to concentrate tn
industry and to build plants with high
grade equipment and large capacity
The average value Of the output pc
firm reporting in 1909 was Sl4,S59; Il
1909 it was S32,sls. The capacity o
brick machinery has been greatly in
creased in recent years. a few year
ago machine that would make 300
or 5000 brick an hour was considered
a wonder. To-day machines are II
operation that will turn out three time
as many brick.
The great tendency in the clay-work
inc industries Is to reduce the cost Q
production BY the use Of more etlicien
machinery and by the elimination a
far as possible, of hand labor

Prom La Grande starr
The expedite freight which passed

urday had two cars loaded with can
non for Fort Stevens, near the mouth

consignment fourteen pieces of artill-

gun. which throw shots of four
pounds at the rate of sixty shots per
minute. The cannon were shipped
