CHAIR FOR TAFT.
To Be Made From the Horns of Texas
 Steers


 San Antonio, July 1.-The chair on which Taft will sit in his Texas mo- hair pants while he directs the des- tinies of the United States in event of his election as president will be made from the horns of Texas longhorn steers. It will be presented to him March 4, 1908. N. R. Powell of Pettus, one of the richest ranchmen of Texas, has closed deal with local manu- facturer to make the chair. MT. Powell said:
 My deal with the manufacturer is to construct the chair out of horns which l will furnish him. It will not be necessary for him to follow the in- struction given Noah when he built the ark, but both of us recognize that an ordinary chair is out of the ques. tion, 1 have just delivered to him one pair of horns about eight and half feet long from tip to tip, which will make the back and part of the arms of the chair, and will gather up other specimens I have selected between here and the Rio Grande and send them to him. The chair will be a companion piece for the pants which San Antonio has provided and the new president while resting, with the problems of nation in Washington will at the same time be able to enjoy some of the comforts of Texas, con- dition which any man can not fail to duly appreciate"

excellent railroad facilities appealed to
them. Its success has proved the
wisdom of their choice.
The company will this month cele-
brate its second anniversary. It was
July 1st, 1906, that the fires were first
kindled in the kilns at Rockdale,
where the plant is located, and since
then they have been burning constant
ly. Up to the present time the only
brick made has been the Silica brick.
Now the company is brf nching outfas

were received this spring, and bricks
have been made from them. The
chrome ore quarries are in New Gale

SAUK COUNTY STONE
MAKES FIRE BRICK
Description of the at Joliet Ill., where the Rock from
DEVILS Lake is Ground and Pressed
(From the Banker. }

Jolietis today drawing on the resourc-
es of the world for the needs of it's own
factories. The United States, favored
by superabundance of natures be-
quests, cannot alone satisfy the de-
mands of the diversified interests OF
this bustling city, whose products in
turn go into every nook and corner of
the globe.
Europe, Asia, Australia, all have
direct commercial connection with Jol-
let. But what is there in AustriP, in
Japan and in Australia that marks
a commercial path between those coun-
tries and this inland city?
The answer is an astonishing one. 1t
is like the old saying: "Carrying coal
to Newcastle" For Joliet, the stone
city, built on stone and surrounded by
quarries must seek the world over to
get just the kind of stone it needs to
make the particular bricks used in the
construction of open hearth furnaces
where refractory brick is required. Jol-

es every brick in the place. The heat,
smoke and flame pass out again
through the floor and to a chimney.
The capcity of kiln is 10000 bricks.
There are ten round kilns and four
square.
The silica brick is used for open
hearth steel furnaces, for coke ovens,
copper smelters and glass furnaces.
The making of magnesite brick will
form very important part of the in
dustry hereafter. Magnesite and
chrome brick are not only very refrs c.
tory but they have also certain chemi-
cal properties making them indispen-
sable in construction of basic open
hearth steel furnaces.
The plant was recently visited by
john Meisel, foreman of the quarry at
DEVILS lake.

MAY FLOOD WATER PLANT
The kIbourn Dam Threatening Dam
age To Municipal Concern.

Ever since the construction work on
the Kilbourn dam was begun the
question of flooding the Kilbourn cleo
trio and water works plant has been
impending. The institution is SO loca-
ted that a rise of water would food the
works.
It is said the Southern Wisconsin
Power company gave assurances of a
fair settlement at the beginning. The
final action being delayed, however,
and the attitude of the Company being
uncertain, the question has been given
to Cary, Uphman & Black of Milwau-
kee for solution. Some progress has
been made already and it is expected
that the company will be persr AIDED to
make a settlement, in the nature Of
cash, or in a certain amount of electric
power to be used as the village
chooses,

don1a, Australia, and the Magnesite
in Austria. Arrangements may also
be made to import ore from Japan. E.
M. Allen, vice president of the COM
pany, has been in Austria for the past
four months negotiating for proper
ty in the mountain zone. The result is
that the American Refractories Com
pany of Joliet will erect a plantin Aus
tria for the preparation IF ore for ship
ment to the home institution. A year
from today boats laden with magne-
site will depart from the port of Trieste.
Austria, and sail to New Orleans.
Thence the stone will be shipped by
rail to Joliet.
These two ores are not found in the
United States, and therefore the i'm
portations are necessary. The basis
of the silica brick is American, how
ever. 1t is sganister or quartz rock COM
ing from the company's own quarries
at Devils Lake, Wisconsin, and is
shipped here in ninety cars leased for
the exclusive use of the company.

let limestone while furnishing cheap
building material does not fulfill the
requirements where high temperatures
are reached.
The Joliet brick must be hard and it
is hard, the hardest thing of the kind
in the world; it must stand fire and
heat and lots of it.
So the American Refractories Com
pany, fire brick manufacturers, was
organized. That was only two years
ago, and in the brief time elapsing
since, the plant has three times been
enlarged so that today it is two and
one-half times larger than the original
plant with an almost certain prospect
of another addition within the coming
year.
While the organizers of the corpora
tion were eastern men Joliet was select

reasons. The labor conditions exist
