OUTPUT OF GREAT MASTERS.
(Christian Science Monitor)

(Christian Science Monitor)
At the present ratio of discovery
the thousands of pictures by the great
masters may, In few years, become
tens of thousands. In fact, discovery
of masterpieces is so far only in its
infancy. While Botticellis, Raphaels,
Michael Angeles, Van Dycks, Corots
and Rembrandts are now being found
in all imaginable and unimaginable
places, II must be remembered that
these are but an infinitesimal fraction
Of the number of great masters whose
hidden or lost works may be discov-
cred from this on, now that 1t seems
to be quite the thing to discover them.
There are other schools and hundreds
OF other individual painters still to be
represented among the discoveries.
And the fact must not be lost sight
OF that there are millions of walls ana
partitions in Europe that have not as
yet been torn down and billions of
square yards of plaster and whitewash
that have not as yet been removed.
We are prone to boast of the achie-
ments of twentieth century machin-
cry. If we only stop to think what
the great masters of painting are al
legged to have accomplished by hand
production alone we may blush for
Our foolish vanity.

SEVEN BUCKAROOES
HIT OVER 300 MARK

Pendleton had seven men who hit
the sphere better than 300 last week
and the whole team batted at a .2SO
clip. 1nasmuch as Boise only had
three men in the 800 class and clout-
ed as a bunch only .215, the reason
why PendletOn took the series is very
apparent.
John Bladen has the honor of
leading instick work for the week,
going through four games with an
average of .467. Bladen's heavy hit
ting last week also makes him high
man on the Pendleton team for the
season. Augustus showed a big i'm
provement in batting form over the
first week, playing in all Of the games
and hitting the pill for a .3S1 aver
age. RAIDER hit almost as well as in
the preceding week and has per-
centage for the season of .341. Others
who showed in the 300 class were
Dougherty, Varian, Berger and Ha-
worth
Friene, who came to Pendleton with
a percentage of over 500, continued
his heavy stickwork against the Buck
aroo pitchers, leading his team with
a percentage of .391. He is also
probably leading the league. Alter
matt did good work with the club
too, making a $50 percentage. The
following table shows the Pendleton
averages for the week and season:

CEMENT-MAKING MATERIAL.

A barrel of Portland cement will
consume about 450 pounds of lime
stone and $50 pounds of clay or shale.
A plant making 1000 barrels a day
will therefore use, in the course of an
ordinary year, about $4,000 tons Of
limestone and 1000 tons of clay or
shale. Assuming average density for
these materials, a 1000-barrel plant
of limestone a year, together with
100000 cubic feet of shale.
As the investment in plant is heavy,
1t would be folly to locate a cement
plant under ordinary circumstances,
at a point where less than 20 years
supply of raw materials is in sight. A
thousand-barrel plant, therefore,
should have 20,OOO,OOO cubic feet OF
limestone and 100000 cubic feet OF
clay or shale on its properties.-Bul.
