a TRAVERSE tunnel is placed under
the bins, with the tunnel arch above
the level of the bottom of the charg-
ing ends of the kilns. A cross screw
conveyer. fed from three gates in the
bottom of the bins, is placed in each
of these transverse tunnels and dis
charges into a second screw conveyer
leading into the kiln. The second con-
veyer travels at twice the speed of the
first, to avoid any danger of choking
the kilns. The conveyors to each kiln
are driven by the same motor, which
drives the kid. so the supply of ma
terials is varied automatically with the
speed of the kiln.
The five kilns provided are 120 feet
long and taper from an inside diameter
of 6.5 feet at the charging end to rs
feet at the firing end. They were built
by the Vulcan Iron Works of Wilkes
Barre. Pa, and are placed side by side.
The charging ends are in a reinforced
-cincrete base for the stacks which
serve the kilns, and the firing ends are
surrounded by building, but other
wise the kilns are not enclosed. Each
kiln has three ring bearings mounted
on concrete piers, and is gear-driven
from a line shaft belted to a 80 horse
power motor.

The express company has the heaviest

press company should have quarters
in the new depot planned for this sta

We're made with that intention, but
lately 1t was thought best to house

up accordingly.
1t is said that the intention now is
to use brick in the construction, which
will be faced with cement in Mission
style. The building will face on Eigth

INTEREST CENTERS
IN TULARE COUNTY
VAST ACREAGE BECOMES A
NEW SUBDIVISION
Alfalfa, Dairyins Stock and Truck
Lands Are Cut Into Forty.
Acre Farms-To Be
Marketed

The attention that last year centered
in Imperial valley seems to be focused
this year to San Joaquin, of which Tu-
lare county is the center of the great
est activity.
The Joseph r. LOTUS company is
subdividing several thousand acres of
the choice farm lands which are being
cut in forty-acre parcels.
These lands are located at Solita sta
tion on the main line of the Santa Fe.
The lands are suitble for alfalfa, dairy
ing, stock raising and truck gardening.
They are in the great artesion belt and
there is an abundance of water that
will be supplied to each forty acres by
an irrigation system now being in
stalled and which will belong to the
purchasers of the land.
Forty acres seems to be about the
size tracts most in demand by the in
coming homeseekers who are now flock
ing into Los Angeles. The inquiries
are reported to be numerous and buy
ers are now looking in earnest, and real
estate interests. at least, promise to be
satisfactory. Evidently many are COM
ing now who remained east to vote.

attractiveness of the building.
The rooms in the basement VIII be
used by members of the club as q prt-
vate garage.
There will be a turntable in st. Vim
cent place allowing machines to DE
lowered into the basement.
The sub basement will be occupied
by the heating, power and lighting
plants for the building. There Will
be two high speed passenger elevators
running from basement to roof; also
service elevator in rear.
The construction of the building is
to be of steel skeleton, with reinforced
concrete floors and walls.
The work of erecting the building
will probably begin about February l.
A great deal of interest Is being shown
in the new athletic club which, when
opened, will take rank with the best

CEMENT PRODUCTION
INCREASES RAPIDLY
OUTPUT IS DOUBLED IN SIX
YEARS
Forest Service Watches with Interest
Increasing Use of Cement and
Other Substitutes for
Woods

The relation between the increasing
use of cement and the diminishing tim
ber supply in the United States has
been the subject of some interesting
correspondence between the geological
survey and the forest service at
Washington. In a letter to the forester
the director of the survey took occasion
to quote from statement of a large
Philadelphia firm to the effect that it
would be difficult to estimate what
the additional drain on the lumber
supply would have been during the last
few years had not cement come into
such general use, The forester replied
in part as follows:
The forest service is watching with
a great deal of interest the increasing
use of cement and other substitutes
for wood. They are undoubtedly hav-
ing some influence on the price of lum-
Der, though l do not think that up to
the present time they have greatly re-
tarded the advance in lumber prices.
The fact is that our industrial progress
has been so great that our require
ments for every kind Of structural ma
terial have increased tremendously.
We are using at the present time more
lumber per capita than ever before
and probably twice as much per capita
as we did fifty years ago.
OIi OluCI
1.-THE conclusion cannot be escaped,
therefore, that in the future we must
depend more than in the past on other
materials than wood for certain pur-
poses at least. AS to the increase that
will take place in the production of
cement, my impression is that this will
be very great"
If the increase in the use of cement
in the United States in past years is to
be regarded as any index to it's future
use, the conclusions of the forester
are well founded The statistics of the
production of minerals show that our
output of cement has more than
doubled in the last five years, and it
is well known that its use is being
very widely extended. This is due to
two conditions. In the first place, eX-
cellent cement materials are common
in almost all sections of the country;
in the second place, reinforced concrete
for heavy building material is receiv-
ing increased favor among engineers,
while in the country regions large
amounts of cement are being used for
building blocks for smaller structures.
Reports received by the survey during
the six years from 1902 to 1907 show
that the production of cement in the
United States has increased from 25,-
900, 900 barrels, valued at approximately
$25,000,000. to 51,000,000 barrels, valued
at $55,000,000. the annual statistics
showing steady increase in produc-
tion with some slight fluctuations in
price.
