THE PORTLAND
CEMENT INDUSTRY.

financied many concerns. but they are
satisfied that their present venture is
the most promising of them all and it
is their intention to have Union Port
land Cement used in every corner of
the country. The cement manufactur-
ing industry is having wonderful
growth and the Index Republican com
pany is pleased to give to their readers
some of the facts connected with the
branch of the business located in our
midst. That the new company will be
successful is a foregone conclusion for
staunch business men are at the head
of the enterprise and all patrons will
be given first grade goods at prices as
low as such an article can be sold
FORCE OF MEN.
The Union company employees so ex-
perienced men all receiving excellent
wages. The concern is capitalized at
5000, 900. part in preferred and part in
common stock.
There is no doubt that Messrs Cruik-
shank and Ritter nave achieved sue
cess in their various undertakings and
this success is due doubtless to the
conservative capitalization which in
this case is more than 40 per cent be-
low other cement companies with
equal capacities. Investors appreciate
the stability of the enterprise and
common stock has recently changed
hands at between so and 80 per cent.
The news of this extensive enter
priss has been kept from the public
until after all the deals had been con-
summated. Tue promoters now have
all their plans completed and they are
pleased to / ave the public know what
they have accomplished.

THE SYSTEM

The rotary kiln system is the one
used. The cement is made from clay
and mari secured from land near the
plant. Hundreds of acres have been
purchased or leased by the company
and these mari beds are connected with
the plsnr by means of a railway track.
Two small steam engines and num-
Der of cars carry the mari and clay to
the mixing machines. The Union
company has control of 222 acres of
mari land and the depth Of the
supply averages 151s feet. The clay
and mari are first run through the
''pug'' mill in proportions of one part
clay and six parts mari. the former
furnishing the silica and the latter this
lime for the cement. Marl has about
the same chemical analysis as local
limestone. A little water is used when
the clay and mari are first placed in
the grinding ami mixing machines in
order to secure a plastic mass that will
run easily through the various chan
uels leading from one machine to an
other. From the pug mill the mix
