so that ii knows exactly what bust

Is having the pipe line laid for an

comes the interesting query: Why
are they preparing to do twice the

certainly remarkable in company

and by faint hearts in lola to be on

A reporter for the REGISTER called
at the offices OF the company last
Friday and found MIR. Rogers, vice
president, and MIR. William LanyOn,
the manager, together. When asked
il there was any truth in the interest
ing rumor that four new machine
kilns were to be built at Works num-
Der ., Mr. Lanyon said: "The work
on two Of the kilns Is already begun
and will be pushed right along. And
when these two are finished we ex-
pect to begin two more right away
"Do you expect to extend the re-
tort capacity of the works also?" was
asked 1--WE intend to build another
block Of furnaces, was the answer
And so It goes. The extensions
planned Will practically double the
works NUMBER two, the old w. d. J
works, and will give employment tc
some fifty or sixty men when finished

on their arrival in Frisco as an i'm

history oftheir regiment. The victims
of local politics were without disci-
pline and wore their cast-oH civilian
clothes. The Frisco papers called
them "Coxey's army" and made
them the laughing stock Of town and
camp. 1t goes without saying that
they kept stiff upper lip in this hour
of deep inner humiliation.
