a Montana Cement Plant.

According to an official of the Three
Forks Cement company. whose plant
is located at Trident, Mont, on the
Northern Pacific and Milwaukee rail
roads, cement manufactured in Mon
tana will be on the marked next
spring The plant of the Three Forks
company Is being built as rapidly as
possible, and will have a capacity of
about Loo barrel, per day.
When the Three Forks compxuy gets
down to business it will doubtless
bring about ii big reduction in the
price Of Portland cement in this Sec
ton of country, owing principally to
the big reduction in freight rates
which will result. AT present the
cement used in Montana is shipped
from a long distance aud the con.
sequent price of the material when it
arrives here is high.
The use of cement as a material of
construction in buildings is ever on
the increase, and it has become one of
the most important objects of the cor.
tractors figures. Butte is using her
share OF the material ia the construc-
ton OF buildings and it 10 predicted
that with the decrease in the price
which will result from the operation
OF a plant near that city, ia which
local men and local capital are the
moving spirits, will largely Increase
the amount used.
There are numerous other cement
plants being projected al various
places throughout the state, aad it is
possible that within a few years the
cement used in Montana will be Sc
cured from the establishments operat.
ing within its borders, and that a
large portion of that used throughout
the northwest will be furnished by the
Montana factories.

containing weird foodstuffs, pink. white

Why Tony Pastor "Gave Up"


When Tony Pastor was laid to rest
in Evergreen cemetery. Brooklyn, this
afternoon the last chapter was closed
in the life of man who not only out
distanced all his contemporaries IN the
length of his career as a theatrical man
ager. but who also, in the days when
competition. and not combination. ruled
the amusement profession, was alike
feared and respected as a resource1 I'll,
versatile rival.
He was the last to survive of the famous
theater managers who furnished enter
tainnlent for New York during the COS
and 7Os He had many big successes in
his day. and not many big failures HIS
death, however was due to an old-aSe
failure, caused by worry over the recent
financial losses at his theater in East
18th street.
1t seems when he arrived at his final
decision to give it up he went to his home
at Elmhurst and wept like a child. He
could not bear to part with the place
which had been his pride for twenty-seven
years He took to his bed that night, and
practically never again left II. His
friends who went to see him knew that he
was heart broken, and he never rallied
from the shock.
