CEMENT FOR BUILDINGS

Thomas A. Edison has sent word
to the newspapers that he had
completed his scheme for building
concrete house for 81 200, which
if constructed of stone in the same
design, would cost between Sc, 600
and $4,000.
The price he cites could not pre-
vail if only a single house was to
be built. That he wants to he
understood clearly. What he
means 10 that il the reinforced
)ooncrete houses were built in
blocks, by his design and through
the use Of his molds, the cost of
each house in a block would not
he greater than about 81 200.
He also says that figure is de-
pendent upon the houses being
built on soil which yields sand and
gravel from the excavations.

CANADA GETS
GRAIN TRADE
Boston and New York Ports
Have LostHeavily For the
Past Several Years.
Associated Press.

Boston, March 8.-A special session
of men interested in the grain export
trade will be held this evening for the
purpose of devising plans to overcome
the growing supremacy of Canadian
ports. 1t is admitted that Boston and
New York have lost a large part OF
this trade, and that Montreal, st. John
and other Canadian cities are the gain.
ers by the detection.
1t is alleged that there are two rea-
sons for this change in the routine OF
grain for export. One is the exist.
ence of the Welland canal, which pro-
vides an all-water route from the great
lakesc to Europe, via Canadian ports.
The other is the unwillingness of
American railroads to make adequate
reduction in rates which will give Bos-
ton and New York an opportunity to
compete on an equal footing with
Canadian ports. When the proposed
Georgian BAY canal is Duflt 1t VIII give
Canada an additional advantage, as it
will shorten by many miles the water
route from Chicago, Duluth and Fort
William to the st, Lawrence River.
Even in winter, when Boston should
get large share of the grain export
BUSINESS, high rates of American rail
roads prevent grain from coming here.
When the ice on the st. Lawrence
makes navigation impossible, export
grain must be sent to some open port.
The business does not come to Boston,
er through rates.

Atlanta, Ca. March S.-Following
the action taken by the Masonic Grand
Lodge of Masons of Mississippi in sew
ering all relations with the New Jer-
sey Grand Lodge, it is expected that
similar resolutions will be adopted at
an early date by Masonic bodies
throughout the South. 1t has been
suggested that an indignation meet
Ing be held in Atlanta to give official
expression to the horror and disgust
felt by Dixie Masons at the action of
the New Jersey lodge in admitting
negroes to membership. 1t is possible
that such a session may be called
within the next few days. Prominent
Atlanta members of the fraternity de-
clare that the Southern lodges, will
secede from the national organization
rather than submit to sustaining fra
ternal relations with colored Masons
The trouble between the Mississippi
grand bodies and the New Jersey jur-
isdiction began August %, 1908, when
Grand Master Martin, of Mississip
opened correspondence with Grand
