PORTLAND CEMENT IN IOWA.

Running transversely thru Iowa
from northwest to southeast are mighty
deposits Of lime stone. On every farm
and in every city of Iowa there is
growing use and demand for Portland
cement. These facts belong together
and point to a new industry in Iowa
which is only awaiting the men and
money to make it great and profitable.
Members of the Searchlight Club of
this city who enjoyed State Geologist
Wilder's illustrated lecture Tuesday
evning, were disappointed when the
lecturer was forced by lack of time to
close before telling them of Portland
cement possibilities in Iowa. The
facts seem to be that the cement in
dustry is a certain thing in the state.
Professor Wilder and his assistants
have located. number Of limestone
deposits in the state, where stone and
conditions are favorable to cement
making and it is confidently predicted

plying her demand for Portland cement
from plants inside the state.
Three things are necessary to the
profitable manufacture of cement;
limestone holding less than 8 per cent
Of magnesia, shabe or clay rock free
from pebbles and free from more than
per cent of magnesia, and fuel. Con-
trary to general opinion Professor
Wilder states that eastern coal is not
a necessity but that any of the Iowa
Goals will do to make cement. Among
the deposits tested by the geologist
and found fit for cement making are the
limestone quarriss east of MARSHALL
town.
one-quarter Of the charge of a kiln,
the limestone the other quarters.
The professor IL certain that sufficient
quantities of the shale exist in western
Marshall county a few miles from the
limestone deposits tested. The item
of fuel is 80 per cent of the cost of
the cement product. If fuel may be
had cheaply and the shale transported
at sufficiently low cost there is no
reason why Marshall county cement
mills should not supply the Iowa de-
rnand for this material. The posi-
bilities are here. 1t is for the expert

THE Office Of Secretary OF state has
i assumed an Importance in the
scheme Of Delaware politics all out Of
proportion to the duties OF the ONCE.
The reason Is that the salary beurs no
relation to the services performed. This
subordinate OF the Governor draws In.
salary and fees a sum many times as
large as that Of his CHIEF, and beside It
the salary Of the Acknowledgement is a
mere pittance.
OF course a great part Of this sum
should be paid into the public treasury,
but the objection to continuance of
the present system should not be based
solely on the ground OF economy. This
exceedingly lucrative ofiice ls fast be-
coming a nuisance. and is helping to
create turmoil and to put checks in the
way Of government.
1t was the chief bone Of contention
between the factions. delaying harmony
am the last minute, and at one time
threatening party success. Since cleo.
tion the contest for this Office has beer

question OF the organization Of the Leg
aslature. and would have prevented az
organization had not the necessity foi
passing the Hen act been so great.

organization OF the houses tomorrow

matter Of oicctlng a United States Sen

salary bin covering both State an
county officers II that were done. n
Governor would have less pressure an
annoyance and he would be able to al
point a really capable man OF his om

such a bin could be passed and so h

state assumes his duties
