Thinks State
Should Make
It's Own Tile

That more than $25,OOOOOO annual.
| ly could be added to the income from
crops in the Willamette valley every
year if an aggregate of 100000 acres
we're properly drained at cost of $40
per acre but that this will never be
realized as long as Oregon depends
upon draining tile to be imported from
other states, Is the declaration of DR..
Wlthycombe, director Of the state ex-
pertinent station, as quoted in the BIZ
ennial report of Henry NJ. Parks, di,
rector of the state bureau of mines
The report was made public today.
Says the report:
DR., Withycombe, director Of the
state experiment station, is authority
for the statement that there are A..
100000 acres in western Oregon which
If properly drained with tile, would
produce double the crops that they
now produce. This will cost about
$40 per acre, but will be returned to
the owner in increased crops within
five years, adding by this means alone
to the agricultural production of the
valley more than $25 100000 every
year. This will never be done in the
Willamette valley if the drain tile has
to be imported. In order to accom-.
plish 1t the tile must be manufactured
in every locality. Oregon could en-
courage condition in no better way
than to make careful investigation
Of the clays in the Willamette valley
and determine the locality of the de-
posits best situated for the manufac-
ture of the different clay products.
Startling Comparison.
The annual output of the clay pro-
ducts in Oregon are valued in round
numbers at $1,OOO,OOO, says the report.
The value of the products shipped in
from other states is $5,OOO,OOO.
"The natural result of such con-
dition between supply and demand is
that the state of Oregon is paying an
eXorbitant price for such structural
materials. A very large factor of this
eXorbitant price Is the transportation
from other states and territories.
Pressed brick, for example, of the
kind used in the Multnomah hotel in |
Portland costs $16 per 1000 in the mid
die states as compared to $27 per
1000 in Oregon, The same proportion
al difference exists with other clay
products, Every individual in the
state is paying a tax varying from 20
to SO per cent of the cost of such pro-
ducts.

Cement Situation Bad.

"The cement situation in the state
shows even a more appalling condi-
ton Oregon never manufactured a
barrel of Portland cement. In 1910
100000 barrels of Portland cement
We're shipped into Portland alone. If
this cement were manufactured here
it would save the state 100000 annu-
ally"
Director Parks things the state
should produce its own lime and build
ing stone. He recommends continu-
ton of the survey of the Willamette
valley to determine the location of inn
portant deposits of road material.
Among other recommendation Is
that the state have mineral exhibit
at the San Francisco fair.

"The statement was substantially
correct as far as it went" said the
governor. More conversation followed
which do not care to mention at this
time. The statement that DR.. Smith
opposed having 81 day paid the con-
victs from his funds opens the way to
a very interesting story but it has no
bearing on the charges made against
