made by o. P. Hood, chief mechanical
engineer of the bureau, shows that
the combustion is caused by the sur
lace heating of the coal. The contact
between the oxygen in the air and the
inflammable elements in the coal
causes the heating which increases

points out tina: ~thesurface presented
by a ton of coal is tremendous. Each
lump presents a surface and so does
each powdered grain. The normal
coal pile is not so tightly packed as
to prevent the passage of the oxygen
bearing air through interstices to
practically every particle of the coal.
One Surface Acre Per Ton.
When all these minutessurfaces ex-
posed to the air are added by Mr..
hood he gets the astounding total of
approximately one acre of surface to
every ton of coal.
Two remedies for this are suggest
ed by Mr.. Hood. First, store only
large Jumps of coal. In the lump, the
coal is naturally packed so densely
tina the air does not penetrate.
Jumps of nut size and under are those
giving the greatest air surface per
ton. He suggests that by more care
u handling. coal can be brought up
and stored in large blocks.
A second suggestion is that coal be
aruhcially compressed. Coal dust is
pressed into coal briquets as a COM
mercial proposition now, for the pur-
pose of making it easier to handle,
compression on a. larger scale and
INTO large blocks is suggested to pre-
vent deterioration due to exposure to
the air and to prevent spontaneous

snow, the air around stored coal in
fluences combustion. Coal stored in
a not place will d~eteriorate and ignite
more quickly than coal stored in a
cool place. This suggests the posi-
bility of cold storage of coal.
. Mr.. Hood also ha, found that for
elgn matter in coal, such as SULPHUR.
will hasten it's spontaneous ignition
BY screening and careful cleaning Of
coal intended to be stored, this could
be eliminated. His Investigations ac-
cord1ngly, have convinced him that
proper methods and care can make
the storage of coal on a large scale
a feasible enterprise.

survey show that the United States

Washington, D. c., Aug. 1.-The
protracted coal strike has set experts
of the federal government to study
ing anew the problem of the storage
of coal on a large scale.
Aside from the expense Of extra
handling and equipment, there are
two major eason why coal cannot
that when exposed to the air.. coal
gradually loses it's combustibilty-
that is, its burning n heating quail
tiles. The ages produce coal by
crushing decayed vegetable matter un-
der great weight and pressure in the
depths of the earth, far from atmos-.
phere. When coal is brought to the
surface and exposed to the air, ma
ture starts to undo the process and
take the elements Of combustion
away. &
The second reason i; that, through
some chemical or physical action of
the air upon coal which has been TAX
en- from h mine, the product me
ates heat of its own and spontaneous
combustion results. This is M of
the mysterious forces of nature which
has baffled many scientist; and engi-
neers.. Without the application of any
external heat or inflammatory matter,
a pile of Goa sometimes will ignite
itself and burn with dangerous in
tensity.j
rms phenomenon Is
must store large supplies of coal in
their bunkers. The frequent result
Is bunker fire, caused almost always
by spontaneous combustion.

pers and learns of coal strikes and

These obstacles to c6al storage
mean that coal cannot be mined until
there is a quick market for it. The
demand for domestic coal for heating
and cooking is fairly STEADY and can
be reckoned upon, SO it is possible for
mines to keen g, fairly steady supply
Of coal moving to retail dealers. But
for the great industrial consumers
the task lie more di6icult. FACTORIES
have boom periods and slack periods.
Their demands for coal vary. The re-
suit is that the coal to fill a large or
der for a mill or a public utility is not
taken out of the ground until the coal
company has obtained the order.
In boom times when factories are
running full blast, the orders come
in fast. Then follow feyerish efforts
to get the coal out. But here another
factor enters. It Is no use to bring
the coal up above ground unless cars
are available to take it away. With
everybody demanding coal at once.
the railroads cannot supply cars rap
idly enoueh to take care Of all de-
mands.

What's New
on the Market
BY REX STEWART

Meat prices will undoubtedly
experience a rise within tne
next few days. Hogs on foot have
risen considerably since the mol
idays, and medium priced beel
cuts are scarce. The prices offer
ed two months ago were not en-
couraging to the farmer and a
scarcity resulted in local ana
Portland packing plants. There
has been some increases in retaii
prices already, but this has not
been general.
Eggs have varied prices today,
depending on the supply of indi-
vidual dealers, while some local
retailers are offering rs cents In
trade and selling for 80. Others
are buying at 10 and 20 anc
selling for 80 cents. The last
price can be reasonably presumed
as the market price to consum'
ers.
In spite Of the increase in su
gar prices specials have been OF
fered today by some merchant
offering 100 pounds for $6.15.
California radishes were oi

punches for rs cents. They ar

Linen Productions
From Oregon Flax
Displayed In Store

Numerous linen articles, among
them some of the finest napkins
and table cloths ever placed before
he eyes of housewives, made
from Oregon flax grown in this
vicinity, are now on display in the
windows of Kafoury Bros store
on State street.
The retting and scutching OF
the flax from which the articles
were made, was done in the pen1-
tentiary flax plant under the su-
peryison Of Robert Crawford, then
manager of the plant and now OPP
Grating manager for the William
4tte Valley Flax & Hemp Grow
ars association.
After this process the flax was
sent to linen mills In Belfast, Ire
land, where the articles were pro-
duced and shipped to Mr.. Craw'
ford. The designs on the napkins
and cloths are those of the manu-
facturer, but the material from
which they were made was grown
