ALUMINIUM PLANT is
SPLENDID INDUSTRY

of the plant and is used in filtration
plants by dyers and in many other
ways both industrially and medici-
nally as a drug. Other compounds
of aluminium such as fiuoride used
In chemical manufactures and fancy
metal work such as tinting and
cleaning are also made at the plant.
The company also makes calcined
oxide of aluminium used by high class
pottery people, emery and polishing
powder manufacturers and for
numerous other purposes.
Hydroxide of aluminium is another
side product made by the company
which is used for purifying sewage
and freeing water from bacteria as
well as in the manufacture of other
and rarer compounds of aluminium.
The products of the plant are
marketed by the car load and the
plant is running now to the fullest
capacity of its equipment. The
building is sufficient to quadruple the
capacity, which would mean five
tons of aluminium every week,
and a corresponding amount of the
other products, which at the present
price of kitchen aluminium ware
would sell for $4,000 or more. Cast
aluminium ware is now selling at
$500 or more ton at wholesale.
With quadrupled capacity the gas
consumption of the plant would be
l2, 600 900 cubic feet daily. The
plant runs every. day and night IN
the year. There is opportunity for
the extension of an unlimited capac-
ity of the plant in the matter OF
kitchen ware, and II the plant were
only one-teath the size of the only
other aluminium plant, it would en-
lploy nearly 1000 skilled men at
wages from $2 to SIS day.
The plant including the ground
represents an expenditure of $780,
600 economically applied and the
company's shareholders may well
feel proud of their investment as
the industry promises to pay them
manifold returns on their money.
The plant is managed by Mr.
Dame, patentee of the chemical fur
mace, who has scientific as we'll as
a practical knowledge of the manu-
facture Of aluminium and, the by
products named, which knowledge
together with his high executive
ability is invaluable to the company
in the operation OF its plant.
The operation has been of SUI
ficient duration to demonstrate the
fact that the industry here is highly
successful and as permanent one
it promises to grow into one afford
ing work to hundreds of skilled men
at good wages, and it will therefore
be Of unreasonable value to the
community as one of its developers.

GABELL COUNTY
Sets a Splendid Example for
Harrison and other Coun-
ties in the State.

Replying to letter sent him by
Secretary H. V. D. King of the local
board of trade concerning the plan to
run good roads trains in a campaign
of two months for good roads in the

the chamber of commerce at Hunting

ly voted 100000 for good roads in
that county and that the equity court

Cabell county's progressiveness in
this particular is certainly worthy of
emulation by Harrison county, fal
more worthy than Cabell county.

Two Kinds of Motor People.
From the New York Mail.


Two kinds of people run automobiles.
The other day the writer of these lines
saw q woman Of beauty and refinement
kneeling in a crowded street and holding
In her arms a little child who had been
struck by the wheel of her motor car
The child was not seriously hurt for
the machine was going slowly and the
Craze the little body, hut the lady i'm the
automobile had stopped, had .alighted and
had taken the child to her breast. When
the mother came she found the lady
ready to pay any expense that might
be involved and to nurse the. child her
self. IL need be. and to make compensa-
ton for any injury.
That Is one side Of the case. The other
side. is represented by the aged woman
found unconscious and dying on 9Th
avenue I'm Harlem. where she had been
run down by an automobile and left for
dead. There were indication that the
aged woman had been picked up after
having been struck by some rapidly
building and left alone, to die later I'M
Identified in the hospital.
Account should be taken by the laws
and ordinances Of these two kinds OF
automobiles. Those who drive ma
chimes on their responsibility, and who
employ every means to avoid a calamity,
but stand ready to, relieve and confpen-
safe II accidents occur, should have some
say about. the privileges of the other
class. Let the state or the city know
something about the sort OF people who
are hurting these modern catapults
through the streets, and let regulations
and restrictions which careful .automo-
bilists enforce upon. themselves be en-
forced upon the careless and the incom-
petent.
Motor licenses should rest upon char
acter and responsibility. Those who Kill
or MAIN and then put on all speed to
escape must be held in rigid check. The
good automobiles should nnd a. way TO
put prohibition upon the bad.

new RIGGS BUILDING
NEARING COMPLETION
Exterior Walls Constructed,
and Mr.. Chase Plans to
Open Theater August IS.

The exterior OF the combined Office and
tkeater building at. the southeast corner
9 18th and G streets northwest is
Earring completion. The white stone
Iork that serves TO fill in the panels of
&c steel frame is about finished and the
41of is being covered with tile and cop
Ter. The announcement is made that
BY the middle of August Mr.. Chase will
open his theater in the building.
The new structure is uniform in height
to the Metropolitan Bank building. which
adjoins 1t on 18th street. and as the ma
terial Of the outside walls of both build
ings Is stone of a light shade. there is
harmony between the two in both height
and color. The height is governed by a
special building law applying to all
structures erected on streets facing gov
eminent buildings which was framed TO
prevent public structures being over
Swallowed.
The hotel building which is planned TO
occupy the site OF the Corcoran office
building on the next block to the south
on 18th street. between F street and
Pennsylvania avenue, 1t is presumed will
correspond in height, since the restric-
ton applies to the entire 18th street
frontage of the Treasury from New York
avenue to Pennsylvania avenue. As no
building can go to greater height on
that section of 18th street than eighty
feet and since the recent change in the
building requirements on the north size
OF Pennsylvania avenue from the Capitol
TO 18th street permits a height of one
hundred and sixty feet. question may
arise as TO which regulation will govern
when a permit for the new hotel on the
Corcoran building site is TO be issued.
Since the 18th street regulation was
designated to prevent the erection of a
building In the immediate vicinity OF the
Treasury building that would dwarf that
structure, il is assumed the regula-
tion which applies TO 18th street will be
enforced rather than the one that fixes

New York legislature for hte appropria-
ton Of sufficient money to establish a like
commission n that state, and in each of

Washington thas been practically
WAL eradicated within

According to the, theory of these experts.
the disease spreads slowly in a direct
line. and thus by going slowly through a
certain radius with more or less care
each year it was possible within two or
three years to remove all of the infected
trees and to make an immune zone. The
making of this immune zone is most i'm
pOrtant. 1t may call for the extraction of
all chestnut trees, healthy or diseased
within a belt five or ten miles wide. Ad-
vantage may be taken of all natural bar
riers to infection, such as interested
areas or wooded areas without chestnut
trees. but an immune zone can be es-
tablished without any insurmounta BILE
obstacles by little discretion. After the
immune zone is established the greatest
care must be taken not to allow any pos
sible infection upon it. This infection is
easily transmitted. Even chestnut fence
posts which have been peeled are capable
of carrying the infection and should not
be permitted even to cross me zone with
out being previously soaked in solution

Foresters, tree lovers. lumbermen and
land owners all are interested In the
fight that is being waged to save the
chestnut trees of the United States from
an infectious bark disease or canker that
is rapidly spreading over the country
The pest is a parasitic growth or canker
which attacks the chestnut tree and
quickly causes the death of the affected
part If it attacks first smaller branch
il may not spread over the entire tree for
months or even years, but if it attacks
the trunk first the whole tree is killed in
single season.
Although the plague is worst in eastern
Pennsylvania and New Jersey. it is rap
idly spreading to other parts of the coun-
try, and no less than twenty-five states
were represented at a conference called
by the Governor OF Pennsylvania re-
Gently to considec means of fighting 1t.

discussion of the matter at the meeting

there never. has been a subject upon
which there is greater variance of opin-
ion as to the possibilities OF remedying
