ENGINEERS At CEMENT AND
STEEL PLANTS RECENTLY.
Six Hundred Engineers From All Over the United States
Come to Gary and Burlington On Notable
Visit Last Week

In describing a notable event in
Gary's Industrial development the Ce-
ment World says:
The members of the American Rail-
way Engineering and Maintenance of
Way association to the number of 500,
attending the annual convention in Chi
eago, We're guests March 10 of the Uni
versal Portland Cement company on
tour of inspection at the company's
plants at Burlington and at the Gary,
Ind, steel plants, The trip was made
on a train of ten PuIlmans, and every
thing was provided by the company to
add to the enjoyment of the occasion.
Every railroad company of any con-
sequence in the United States was rep
resented on this train by some mem
Der of the engineering department. Ar
engagements for the trip were made by
Mr.. J. P. Beck, of the Universal. and
every detail was carried out without a
hitch. The Universal issued for the oc-
casion a neat little souvenir booklet
describing the various plants visited
The portion devoted to the cement
plant a t Burlington was as follows:
rants NOS and or the l. nj
versal Portland Cement company are
located It Burlington, Ind. twenty two
miles from Chicago, near Lake Michi-
gan. They are on the c. I. S & F..
railroad, which connects with all the
roads running out of Chicago.
The two plants join each other and
form practically one large plant al
though they were built at different
times and are operated separately.
Plant No. is the one lying farthest
south. 1t was built in 1904 and was
started on Jan. /. 1906. The plant con-
tains sixteen kilns, each 7xsO feet. and
has a daily outpu tot 5000 barrels of
Universal Portland cement. The stock
house has a storage capacity of $4,000
barrels
Plant No. 4. adjoining No. on
the north was started on Oct. 81, 1907.
This plant has twelve films, 7hx12O
feet, with a daily production of 5000
barrels. The stock house for the plant
has storage room for 400 600 barrels.
Both plants are operated entirely
by electrical power generated by waste
gases from the blast furnaces from the
Illinois Steel company, at South Chi
| cago, and transmitted by means of high
tension alternating current which is
transformed at the plants for distri-
button.

WHAT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE
A MODEL AND UP-TO-DATE CITY
Writer Points Out What Goes to Make Up the Ideal
Residence Place, Alphabetically
and Hygienicaly.

city should be put under ground. There
must be subways for all traffic, sewers,
water and gas pipes and conduits for
electricity, besides pipes to carry heat
from czatral plants and pneumatic
tubes for parcels and mail When these
are all laid the streets can be paved
in the best and most solid way without
fear that they will be constantly torn
up. No car tracks would be permitted
to be laid on the surface, and so uni
versal have motors become, and so
much preferable are they for speed and
driving our model city would allow no
horses within its limits.
As such a city would have to be
built by a stock company it could put
any restrictions it saw fit upon the
people who would be permitted TO set
tie in it. Would be inhabitants could
be required to possess any prescribed
qualifications as to character, race, oc-
cupation and property which the stock
holders might think desirable. Such
methods enforced with good judgment
and discretion would secure very
high-elass community, where would be
found the maximum of civic well being
and the minimum of poverty and crime.
In fact, the two latter might almost
be excluded. On the principle that
like attracts like, well-to-do and we'll
behaved people would flock to such a
city, and it would grow to large pro-
portions.
The model city would, OF course,
seek to equip itself with the best form
of municipal government Only prop
erty owners, the equivalent of stock
holders in a corporation, would be per-
mitted to vote, and the executive pow
er would be lodged in a single head.
No begging would be permitted. and
for the care of such cases of sickness
and want as required relief special
tax could be levied Public servants
would be well paid, but taxes would
be low. because there would be no
bosses and but little graft. To in
sure the utmost possible beauty a COM
mission of experts would be consti-
tuted to pass on all buildings of any
sort. all works of art proposed to be
ererted and to direct the laying out OF
all parks and gardens.
Doubtless if we were compelled to
select a name for such city at the
present time it would have to be
Utopia but it nevertheless possible OF
realization and something to work
toward.

ufacture of Universal Portland cement
are limestone and graduated blast
furnace Stag, the latter being the pro-
duct of the Bessemer furnaces of the
Illinois Steel company. Large bins ap-
preached by elevated tracks at one end
of the raw material mill provide the
storage room for raw material From
these bins the limestone is fed direct
ly into the gyratory crushers, which
prepare it for the dryers, all of which
are maintained at a sufficiently high
temperature to drive off all the moist
ure. After passing through the dryers,
each of the raw material is conveyed
into separate revolving ball mills,
where the rolling and impact of forged
steel balls reduces them to extreme
fineness The two materials are then
carried to separate hoppers from which
they are drawn off and properly pro-
portioned by electrically operated
weighing devices. The mixture of Stag
and limestone, aleardy a powder, Is
then passed into tube mills where flint
pebbles rolling in a steel drum thor
oughly mix it and complete the pro-
cess of pulverization.
The next step is the calcination of
this raw mixture IN ToLdTy hi4hS' ACoN-
ing the rotary kilns the clinker, pro-
duced by the burning, is dropped into
storage pits where it is cooled and
cured Electrically operated cranes
then carry the clinker to the finishing
mill where it is passed through jaw
crushers to Kent mills and then over
Newaygo separators. After the addi-
ton of a certain quantity of gysum,
which is done by means of an auto
matte device, the material again passes
through tube mills similar to those
used in finishing the raw material Be
ing now ground to a specified degree
! of hneness the cement passes on to
belt conveyor and is distributed into
the various bins Of the storage house.
The cement in passing from the finish
ing mill into the storage house is au-
tomatically sampled. from which sam
pies the various tests for quality are
made in the laboratory
From Burlington the party was
taken to Gary, lunch being served on
the way. The magic steel city attract
ed much attention from the railroad
men. A stop of twenty minutes was
made at the rolling mill, where the
visitors were shown the entire process

It may be said that with a single ex-
ception everything made by man is the
result Of deliberate purpose and design.
The exception is the city. If a man
undertakes to build a house he makes
plans before he begins. drawn with
reference to his lot and the amount he
intends to spend, but cities are as
rule haphazard growths. beginning per-
haps at some central point advantage
Gus as trading post or port and ex
tending as the exigencies of commerce
and increasing population demand, but
without any recognized plan. Thus it
often happens that it becomes neces-
sary to rebuild city several times, as
it expands and requires all sorts of
conveniences and service facilities
which We're not needed at the outset.
1t happens. too, that the new city is
hampered and hindered by narrow
crooked streets and various inadequate
appliances established at the begin
ming.
Would it not be possible with our
present vast resources and our knowl-
edge of what a city should be archi-
tecturally and hygienically to construct
a model one? In the first place there
would be a number Of important con-
siderations to keep in view in locating
it. It must be in a healthful and easily
accessible neighborhood where it can
be nourished and its growth promoted
through the channels of trade; it must
be within reasonable distance of plenty
of good water, and it is desirable that
it should have a good agricultural sec
ton for its environment. Should there
be plenty of water power handy, so
much the better.
Having determined where to build
the new city-and excellent sites can
be fOund-the next step would be to fix
upon a general plan. 1t should provide
for streets of ample width, numerous
small parks, besides one or two large
ones. sufficient reservations for schools,
each with entirely adequate play
grounds, and the business and resi-
dences sections should be designated
and kept entirely distinct. No build
ings should be permitted to go up that
does not reasonably conform in size
and harmonic in style and color to
those about it. There should be a
great assembly hall and numerous Ii
braries and theaters, and there should
be lots set apart for the erection of
such churches as the people might
wish to build.
Before the streets are paved every
thing needed for the use of a great

HOME OF BLUB GRASS

"The fact that Kentucky is always
spoken of as the blue grass state al
ways causes many people to think that
the old commonwealth Of Daniel Boone
and Henry Clay is the original and only
real home Of the succulent and nutri-
tious provender for animals,' says Dr..
Charles B. Horner, of Chicago. '-s, 2
"The fact is that Indiana beyond all
question is the sure enough blue grass
state, for there the vegetation was
first discovered and its merits recog-
nized. Kentucky got its first blue
grass seed from Indiana, then q terri
tory, during the war of 1879. The SOL
diers of Kentucky, while fighting the
Indians in the then territory found
the grass growing in luxuriance around
the deserted villages of the red1nen,
and noting how eagerly their horses
ate the lush growth, stripped the seed
from the stems and tiok supply back
home with them for planting. think
it true that the blue grass can be sue
cessfully grown in every state in the
union if the proper care and cultiva-
ton is given, but there is no question
that it originated in the limestone
counties of Indiana. .''-Baltimore Am,
