CEMENT PRODUCTION BREAKS
RECORD.
statement Of United States Geoiogi.
cal Survey Shows Phenomena
Growth Of Industry.

Ten years ago the production OF
Portland cement for the first time
passed the 1O. 600, 0O0-barrel mark
showing an increase OF 1000 PEI
cent over the production OF 10 years
previous, and the giant strides that
had been made in the industry We're
widely remarked. Even this produc-
tion was small compared with that
LOT the present day. In 1910, accord.
ing to the report on cement by iErn-
est F. Burchard, Of the United
States Geological Survey. the produc-
ton OF Portland cement reached the
enormous total OF 76,549, 1851 barrels,
with value Of SOS, 205, 800. This is
equivalent to IL, 1885, long tons,
valued at ,$5:25 a ton, It is an in
crease over: the output for 1909 of
11,558.520 barrels, or nearly Is per
cent, and an! increase in value OF
'$15,347, 446. or more than 20 per cent.
This increase alone is greater than
the total output of Portland cement ii
1900. In addition to Portland ce,
ment there was also produced last
year 1,139, 239 barrels Of natural ce-
ment and 95,951 barrels OF puzzol.
an cement, total of 77,785,141 bar
rels.
Steady Decrease in Price,
The price Of Portland cement in
1910 was as low as 70 cents a barrel
in some places, the average for the
United States being 1871 cents a bar
rel. In 1890 the average price was
over 50 a barrel and as late as 1903
it was $1.24 a barrel
Mr.. Burchard remarks that meas
med by the capital invested the ce-
ment industry is one OF the worlds
three great extractive industries. In
capital employed it apparently far
outranks the gold-mining industry of|
the United States, including Alasaa,

Here is an article which speaks for
itself. 1t is clipping from the

and even give vent to a. few feeble
cheers when he spoke, but they were
not with him, at any stage OF the

in his bearing. Everybody instinct
lively admires him for the personal
charm of his manner. It is too bad
that such good man should be
spoiled in trying to make presiden-

for his large personality. but in view
of what he has done we cannot vote

The President Voted.
The President got to vote after
all. A lot of red tape was necessary,
but the president was persistent, and
on November 18th he cast his ballot in
old Cincinnati. And thereby hangs a
tale.
Six years ago Mr.. Taft made a
speech at Akron, o.. in which he|
denounced the notorious Cox ma
chine in Cincinnati. He said he

DEMOCRACY MORE HAN HELD

It is reasonably safe to say that

to give the republicans q majority

that the success Of Tammany in the

next year, and that would result in
the defeat OF the next democratic
