INCREASING DEMAND
FOR PORTLAND CEMENT
Government Using Immense
Quantities i'm Connection
With Reclamation.
Special 10 The Trihunn


WASHINGTON, May s26.-The de.
mand for Portland cement in the west.
ern States Is growing enormously The
government is using immense quaint
ties IN connection with its reclamation
projects In Wyoming and adjoining
states, and the mines In Montana and
the Black Hills of South Dakota use
large amounts in installing their plants.
The railroads also must soon begin to
use cement or masonry for culverts and
bridges or adopt some other fuel than
the poorer grades of western coal,
sparks of which, blowing from the
smoke-stacks, frequently iguite wooden
bridges.
In Wyoming particularly The con-
sumption Of cement is increasing at so
rapid rate that the establishment of
q Portland cement plant within the
State would seem to be justified With
tn1s possibility IN view, Sydney H..
/ Ball. of the United States Geological
Survey, has made an examination of
shale and limestone beds in the vicinity
of Cheyenne and of New Castle, and
ms report appears III Bulletin No. 3l5,
Contribution TO Economic Geology,
l906) just published by the Survey
Several formations in the vicinity of
both places were found TO be composed
of material suitable for the mauufac-
tuiS u ctuiCHI, duu III Quantities sum
GENTLY abundant 10 run a plant for a
long time.
The region tributary TO Newcastle
includes northwestern Wyoming, the
Black Hills in South Dakota, northwest
ern Nebraska, and all of Montana This
is rather large region, aud although
the town has but one main railroad, the
cement could no doubt he easily mar
keted. The raw materials are of high
grade, and aboundant quantity, and
cheap fuel of fair quality could be OBJ
tanned from Cambria; and wells sunk
to depth of 1000 to 1900 feet would
probably obtain a sufficient flow Of
water TO run the plants.
The area TO which Portland cement
plant at Cheyenne would ship its pro-
duct includes eastern Wyoming. wes-
tern Nebraska, northeastern Colorado,
and a part of northwestern Kansas.
Raw materials can be obtained III the
vicinity of Iron Mountain, about 40
miles from Cheyenne, on the Colorado g.
Southern railroad, and gypsum suitable
for use as a set retardcr is reported to
occur in the Red Beds south of Iron
Mountain. 1t is evident from all the
facts presented by Mr.. Ball that Port.
land cement Of excellent quality may
be manufactured in eastern Wyoming
at moderate expense and that the pro-
duct can be marketed with fair profit
at prices considerably less than those
charged for eastern ccments.
Persons who are interested in this
subject may obtain Bulletin 3l5 by

Rejected. He shoots the Girl.

Crazed by the unsuccessful termi-
nation of his suit for the hand of
Hilda Carlson, Thomas Eagen, rail-
road contractor, shot and fatally
wounded the girl and her 5-year-old
brother this afternoon, then made
an unsuccessful attempt to commit
suicide Eagen is a bachelor and for
some time has been courting pretty
Hilda Carlson, the 1S-year-old daugh-
ter of s. c. Carlson, prominent far
mer living four miles south of town.
A few weeks ago the girl told Eagen
she could never marry him and since
then he has been brooding over the
refusal.
This afternoon he mounted horse
ard rode to the girls home, inquiring
for Hi,da, but Hilca's mother evaded
his questions until Hilda came
around the house. He Immediately
opened fire on Hilda with 40 caliber
revolver. Following the girl came
Oscar Carlson, her 5-year-old brother.
Picking him up she started to run,
closely pursued ty the maddened
man, who kept swapping the pistol
hammer. Hilda stumbled and fell.
when EaFen came up and shot her
in the back of the head, and then.
with n second shot, wounded Oscar
in the abdomen. He snapped the
gun several times, then turned 1t on
himself, inflicting a slight wound in
the forehead, which stunned him for
a moment
Mrs. Carlson ran around the house
and picked up the gun just as Esgen
staggered to his feet and demanded
the gun. She repulsed him, but he
calmly walked over and gazed on the
PROSTATE form of his sweetheart,
Turning to the mother Of the girl he
asked where he had shot her. When
told the wound was in the head he
said he was satisfied and hoped he
had killed her. He calmly mounted
his horse and rode to Cottonwood,
where he entered a saloon and asked
for drink. Some moments later he
was arrested by City Marshal Baker
on auth ority of a telephone message
from Prosecuting Attorney Baker.

FARMERS HAY COMBINE.
Yakima Ranchers Want Profit on
Alfalfa.

North Yakima, June 22.-With the
view of controlling the price of al
falfa hay and to insure a minimum
price of not less than So ton, which
is equivalent to $40 delivered, the
ranchcrs of the Yakima valley are
perfectins an organization. Small
produce associations formed in the
outlying districts are seconding the
movement. High prices paid for help
and baling material are urged as the
reason for the organization.
OF the present crop of hay practi-
cally none has been marketed, deal
ers refusing to quote prices at this
time. The crop this year is unusual
ly large, but to offset that fact big
demands have been made by commits
sion men. That the efforts of the
ranchers to control prices may be
successful is rendered possible by the
ready sales that apparently await all
who have hay to dispose of.

INCREASING DEPTH OVER BAR,

Government Engineers Meet With u
Great Surprise.
A Portland paper has to say as fol-
lows;
Such great depth of water was
found on the Columbia river bar by
the United States engineers who made
the recent survey of that stretch Of
water that Colonel S. W. Roessler or
icred duplicate soundings made to
verify TIE results indicated. The Sec
ond survey viii be completed this
evening If the weather permits. Blue
prints will then be compiled for dis
tribution, showing the exact stage of
the bar.
Last year the water was in places
less. than "a feet at low tides. Until
his report is made by regular means
Colonel Roesslcr will not disclose
the exact depth Of water found this
year. He states, however, that the
best channel is to the south of that
followed now, and will be used by
deep draft ships after 1t has been

"that the dredge Chinook could now
be operated to advantage on the bar.
In former seasons there was not
enough water to permit of her being
operated to advantage. greatly re-
grct that at the last session of con-
gress an appropriation was not made
for replacing her boilers. Had this
been done, she could make fine
showing there now, on account of the
