The official opening OF the War

day, April 7, by the president, George
W. Warren. Governor Withycombe
and number Of other prominent
people have promised to be present.
The governor will set the machinery
in motion at p. m. and the plant
will be operated for a period of thirty
minutes. A banquet will be served
by the Warrention ladies in the main
building. at which about $50 visitors
will be seated. Souvenirs made from
the company's clay will be given the
guests.
The company win soon begin the
manufacture OF hollow building tile.
common brick, etc, and following the
erection of the first unit of 36-foot
kilns they will manufacture salt
glazed sewer pipe, drain tile and 9TH
er clay products, employing not less
than forty men permanently. II Is
generally conceded that the clays pro-
cured in Clatsop county by this COM
pany will make excellent ware, the
raw material being a local product,
and the cost of manufacturing ware
being largely absorbed by labor, this
plant should, when fully developed,
rank high among Oregon industries.
