The falling off of the output of 100


The falling off Of the output of 1907
was heavy, and is particularly notable
because 1t Is the first decrease shown
in any year by the American cement
industry. The decrease was not uni
formly distributed throughout the coun-
try. for New York, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey will probably show the
highest percentages Of loss, while in
some portions Of the west and middle
west the decrease was relatively
slight
During the year several small COM
panies went into the hands of receivers
and the financial stress also led to a
change of control In a group OF plants
operating chiefly In the Pacific states.
A fortunate effect of the depression
WAS that 1t put stop, temporarily. to
the flotation Of fraudulent or doubtful
cement securities; though II Is likely
that with Improvement in general bus
mess conditions promotion schemes
will again be taken up on an even
larger scale than before the depres-
sion.
The year 1909 opens with heavy
. stocks OF cement on hand at most
mills. but with good prospects for a
steady though slow revival In the &C.
ment trade. 1t is unlikely that this re-
vival will be sufficiently rapid to push
mills to the capacity during the year.
and 1t Is therefore possible that the
high record for output made in 1907
will remain unbroken for another year
at least The total maximum capacity
OF existing plants Is now about Co..
100000 barrels year,
Despite the business depression, or
perhaps partly because Of 1t, there
have been number of important tech
nical and Industrial developments in
the cement industry during 1908, and
others are still pending.

THE CEMENT INDUSTRY.

The following statement rewarding
conditions in the American Portland
cement industry during the year 1908
has been prepared BY Edwin G. Eckel.
Detailed figures are not yet obtain
able, but an estimate based on the In
formation at hand indicates that the
production OF Portland cement In the
United States was somewhat less tnan
40.000.000 barrels. This compares as
follows with the output Of recent years
stated in barrels:

An Erroneous Impression.

The idea that because we have ad-
yanced in science and in knowledge Of
nature we are mentally superior to the
men Of earlier ages is, according to a
well-known writer, totally unfounded.
The evidence of history and Of the
earliest monuments alike goes to in
dictate that our intellectual and moral
nature has not advanced In any per-
eeptible degree. In the second place,
we find that the supposed great mental
inferiority of savages Is equally IN
founded. The more they are sympa-
thetically studied the more they are
found to resemble ourselves In their In
herent intellectual powers.
Even the % long-despised Austria
l~ians-almost the lowest In material
progress-yet show by their complex
language their elaborate social regu-
lations, and often BY an innate nobility
Of character, indications Of a very sim
ilar inner nature to u own II they
possess fewer philosophers and NOR
alists, they are also free from so large
q proportion Of unbalanced minds
idiots and lunatics-as we possess. On
the other hand, we find in the higher
Pacific types men who, though savagea
as regards material progress, are yet
generally admitted to be-physically,
Intellectually and morally-our equals,
If not our superlors. Thirdly, we have
no proof whatever that even the men
OF the stone age were mentally or NOR,
ally inferior to ourselves.

JAIL COCNOMEN
COVERED HIM UP

Perhaps John Sergeant of E1S22
Fourth avenue little suspected
when arrested the other day that
he would be in the city Jail SO
long and that his family would be
worried because of his "mysteri-
Gus" disappearance, or he would
not have given a fictitious name to
the police.
John has been in custody for
drunkenness since Monday under
the name of Otto Benson. His
relatives called up the police Sta
ton asking if John Sergeant was
in Jail. The blotter did not show
that Benson" was a. cognomen,
and consequently John Sergeant
was not in the jug. A report of
his disappearance, together with
his general description. was imme-
diately given the police by his
worried kinfolks. 1t looked funny
to the police that John Sergeant
and Otto Benson tailed so we'll
with the same description, so John,
alias Otto, was trotted out to the
light and. confessed that he was
John Sergeant.

SHOOTING TEAMSTER
PAYS DEAR FOR FUN

Thirty days in Jail and fine Of
500 was the punishment melted
out this afternoon by Justice Mann
of the police court to M. R. French,
a teamster, who, in his drunken
hilarity, last night fired a series
of shots through cab belonging to
the Spokane Cab Co. in which he
was riding. Even at that, French
may thank his stars that he was
not tried for murder, for two of the
bullets barely missed the driver.
One of the leaden missiles spent
its force when within half inch
of the drivers back, and the other
passed out just above his left
shoulder.

DIGGING UP HIS ROAD

When Otto Bringgold appears in

confronted with his record while
on the police force. Deputy Prose.
cutting Attorney Kizer has asked
the board of public works to sub

pose of discrediting him.
Bringgold has several kinds of
trouble while on the police force,

shores of Americas great lakes has
been the blood of hundreds ofhardy
men, and the grief of thousands of
widows and orphans. Delving far
below the beds of these inland
seas, men--a score and two score
at a time-have given up their
lives to the opposite element-fire
from exploding gas or gunpowder.
The disaster that burned the
lives out of between so and so men
fe wdays ago in the crib and tun-
mel a mile and half out in Lake
Michigan from the city of Chicago
was a repetition of. similar hor
rors that Chicago, Cleveland and
other lake cities have suffered in
the quest of the precious liquid
Cleveland alone, digging straight
out five miles to reach Lake Fries
bluest water, lost nearly 70 men.
In building these tunnels, the
plan followed is to sink shaft at
the shore end to the depth of the
proposed tunnel. Then the work
men start digging out, out under
the bed of the lake. AT certain dis
tances apart, temporary cribs,
heavily weighted, are sunk over
the route to be taken by the I'M
foreground passage. Having been
anchored, and caulked against the
water without, wOrkmen who live
and sleep in the crib for months at
a time, sink shaft down to the
depth marked by the engineers and
dig both ways-shoreward and
lakeward. Thus several sections
of the tunnel may be under way at
the same time, with blind ends.
The disaster in Chicago was due
to fire which started from a pow
der explosion. Those above in the
crib were caught as men might be
in a city building all ablaze. They
who escaped jumped into the ice

the shaft into the tunnel and the
ends being blind the shift at work
died horribly of suffocation.

ASKS 500 PER MONTH
FROM COUNTY

A committee consisting of
George Brooke, Charles King, Cap
tain Holloway and DR.. H. l. Ras-
mus of the Associated Charities
have asked the county commission
ers to increase the monthly appro-
priation for that work from $50 to
800 per month. 1t was shown that
an appropriation of this size was
made by the county for few
months three years ago. The AS
sociated Charities claim that there
has been an unusually heavy drain
on them during the present winter
and that more funds will be neces-
Sary.

FUNK GETS CONCESSION

The First warders received
special dispensatiOn from the coun-

resolution of Councilman Funk
was passed. Those in the First

be paid in four annual installments.
The council modified this and al
lowed all cash assessments of over
$50 to be paid in quarterly pay
ments, the entire amount to be
paid off in one year.
