PLANT HERE
COLORADO EXPERT EXAMINING
BEDS OF RAW MATERIAL
ON LARAMIE PLAIN.
Has Been Making Tests at the Office
of the State Chemist and Finds
That Cement Equal in Quality to
the Portland Product of Colorado
Can Be Turned Out.

For several days a gentleman con-
nected with the Portland cement
works il Colorado has been in this
city, getting samples of the natural
cement found in different places on
the Laramie plain and having them
tested at the university, where there
are standard appliances for bringing
out whatever there may be in natural
products. The gentleman has been
somewhat reticent, and has given out
little that can be used definitely, but
enough has been learned to warrant
the assertion that there are on the
Laramie plains beds of as fine Port
land cement as can be found in the
west. He has visited several fields,
those south of the city, some to the
north and one bed lying west of Lar
annie, on the line of the Laramie
Plains line, so close as to suggest the
solution Of the transportation problem
with hardly an effort.
From statements made by the gen
tleman, after concluding his expert
ments at the office of the state chem
list at the university, it is learned that
he is quite well satisfied with what
he has found. The Colorado Portland,
now used extensively all through the
west, some of it even coming to Lar
annie, sells for about S. a barrel here.
This expert believes that cement Of
just as good quality as that of Colo
RADIO can be put or the market at a
price not to exceed So a barrel. If
this be true, and those who have con-
versed with the C~oloradoan believe he
speaks by the book" there should be
no trouble in getting it worked and
put into marketable shape.
A gentleman of this city, who is in
terested in the brick plant and who Is
conversant to a certain extent with
the recent operations of the Colorado
expert, asserts hat a cement factory
is among the probabilities during the
coming season. He says he has had
occasion to investigate the matter. in
connection with the brick proposition,
and believes the claims that the Lar

TELEGRAPH SYSTEM
In PRIVATE OFFICE.

Peter V. DeGraw, fourth assistant
postmaster general of the United
States, has recently installed, and now
has in daily operation, one of the most
unique adjuncts ever adopted by a gov.
eminent official.
Wilbert Melville, describing the in.
novation, in the February Technical
World Magazine says:
Between his private office and the
adjoining room occupied by his private
secretary and confidential stenograph-
er, there is in operation what is I'M
doubtedly the shortest complete tele-
graph line in the world.
"Mr. DeGraw, his private secretary,
Mr.. w. H. Allen, and his stenographer,
MIR. Prender, are all old experienced
.telegraphers. Upon the desk of each is
a complete sending and receiving ap-
p~aratus, and MI. DeGraw says he finds
1T a most convenient thing in the
course of a days business. BY the
use of his private line, he can call for
papers wanted by him or dictate let.
tiers without leaving his private room
or interrupting in any way the import
ant conferences that take place daily
in his Office"
