Cement Plant in Operation

The big cement plant Of the Inland
Portland Cement Co. at Metaline Falls
started operations this week, and by the
first of the month will be ready to start
shipping their product. At present the
bins are being filled, quarrles uncovered
and general preparations completed.
Beginning about June l the plant will
furnish tonnage OF ten cars day to
the Idaho & Washington Northern Rail-
road.
The beginning of operations has been
delayed about two months by the neces-
sity of making repairs to the tunnel
through which the water is conveyed to
the power plant. The enormous pres
sure of the water was too great for the
tunnel, which is lined with cement, with
the result that it leaked badly. The
tunnel and flume are still leaking, but
the power plant is able to develop 1900
horsepower, which is sufficient to run
the cement plant.
AS result of the delay in starting the
cement plant the l. & w. N. the first of
May laid off several train crews, the
extra gangs and about 80 men in the
Spirit Lake shops. AS soon as the &C.
ment tonnage starts moving the railroad
forces will be increased again.

TWO USED UP BY
BUCKING AUTO
Machine INDUCES in Backward
Dash in Market Square,
Hitting a Post.
OWNER DIsLoCATEs ARM
His Companion Attempts TO Stop
Runaway Car and Suffers
Bruises on Body.

Two men who were either sadly ig-
norant as to the working of the
mechanism of an automobile which
they were attempting to start or
suffering from the effects Of drink,
caused quite q disturbance yesterday
afternoon on Market square, midway
between Second and Third avenues.
They had stopped the machine in
front of thirst emporium and after
visit in there returned to It. 1t
was necessary to crank the auto be-
fore starting it.
One Of them placed the levers and
clutches in what he thought was the
right position and then started to
crank the machine. He had the ma
chine tuned up rather highly and so
experienced some difficulty in start
ing 1t. But he finally succeeded and
then was Mortified to see the auto
mobile backing away from him at q
rapid rate.
POST ENDS DASH.
His friend was trying to climb into
the car when Il started OF and in
terror he clutched madly at it and
tried to stop it. His effort was in
vain and the machine continued
north on Seventeenth street across
the Benson feed store scale and then
finally came to a stop when it crash
ed into a post. B. F. Hyslop of Dav-
export, owner of the machine dis
located his right arm while cranking
the car. He was picked up and car
ried to the police station and later
was taken to his home in his own
auto. One of Totten's drivers acted
as his pilot. The other man was
somewhat bruised when he was roll
ed by the machine while he was en-
deavoring to stop 1t with brute
strength.

TRINITY To HAVE
A PARISH HOUSE
Improvement to Cost $4,000
Ordered at Meeting Of the
Congregation.
UTILIZE CHURCH GROUNDS
Chapel to Be Located at South of
Property and Assembly Room
at the Rear.

At a parish meeting at Trinity Epis-
copal church last evening, it was dc
cided to build a new parish house
and chapel costing $4,000. Tho
meeting was well attended and it was
evident that the communicates were
about unanimous for the improve
ment, the need of which has been felt
for a long time. Plans, drawn by Ar
chitect ]. z. o. Pridmore of Chicago,
were exhibited, and with a few slight
changes they viii be followed in the
construction. The church property
contains sufficient room for the new
parish house The chapel will be built
just south of the church and will be
16 feet wide and 33 feet long There
viii be an assembly room to the rear
of the church, 26 feet wide and 45 feet
long.

The assembly room and the chapel
can be thrown together and there is
an opening from. the chapel into the
church proper. Between the assem-
bly, room and the rectory is kitchen
where the Mems club and the guilds
will be able TO provide dinners for
their meetings. The space afforded
by the site is well utilized and the ad-
dition will undoubtedly prove Of great
service to the church. The present
choir room, which is separate from
the church, viii be no longer needed.
LARGE SUM PLEDGED.
Although the meeting last evening
did not contemplate asking for funds
for the improvements, a large SUM
was pledged, nevertheless. The lad
les Of Trinity guild announced that
they would raise $1,000 to help pay
the cost of the new building and they
asked to be entered for that amount
The pledge came as surprise and the
ladies' were heartily thanked. The f.
nancing of the parish house and the
arranging of the details will be In
the hands of the yestry. The work
viii be started as soon as plans and
specifications can be secured.
