Asbestos, Also Known as Mineral Wool

Asbestos is one OF the most curious
and useful substances in the mineral
kingdom. In the manufactured state
it may not resemble mineral, neYerthe-
less it very properly belongs to the
mineral formations. 1t is only within
the last thirty years that it has come
into extensive use, and its use is con-
stantly widening. Its use is also one
OF the most benefcent, besides being a
conservator of heat it is also one of the
best projections against injury to human
beings engaged in foundries where they
come in contact with heat and has
saved many lives, but it also is pre-
tentative of fires. 1t is the most per
feet non-conductor Of heat known and
resists action of the most intense heat.
Asbestos is one Of the great surprises
in the mineral kingdom. On account
of its finely fibrous, flexible, incombus-
tible character it is spun into yarn and
woven into cloth for the clothing Of
firemen and foundry men who are ex-
posed to heat that would burn ordinary
clothing. 1t is extensively used for
theatre curtains and has saved many
audiences from the horrors Of conhagra-
ton. A report by ]. S Diller, of the
United States Geological Survey, on
the production OF asbestos in 1918, now
in press, shows that while the United
States produces lttly raw asbestos, it is
the largest producer Of objects manu-
featured from asbestos. Canada is the
heaviest producer of raw asbestos, and
more than half the worlds supply is
brought into the United States from
Canada and manufactured into various
commercial products.
In 1918 the United States produced
LOO short tons. There were two
producers in Georgia, both furnishing
asbestos of the amphibole type, and
one in Arizona is Just beginning to pro-
duce chrysotile. The difference be-
tween the two types is merely in chem
ical composition.
A noticeable event Of the year in the
asbestos industry of the United States
has been the opening Of this new To-
cality in Arizona, about 80 miles north
east Of Globe, for the high grade chry-
sotile such as occurs in the depths of
the Grand Canyon. 1t is associated
with limestone and in this respect is
strongly contrasted with the asbestos of
Canada, which is found in serpentine
rock, derived from peridotite.
The remarkable fiber from Arizona
when twisted to a yarn 0.03 OF an inch
in thickness will support an average

In Chicago one Of the heads Of a

has an income of $1,320,000 a year

Its the local merchant that builds the

Governor Lister has denied the petit
ton of number of cities of the third
class to call special session of the
state Legislature to amend the ten-mill
levy limit law which was enacted last
year. These cities recently found
themselves without means OF raising
the necessary money to carry on their
governments. Governor Lister, how
ever, declares that it is possible, under
court rulings already made, for cities
of the third class to incur indebtedness
for expense necessary to their main
tenance. He believes that in doing
this they will be able to get along
we'll enough until the regular meeting
of the state Legislature seven months
hence.
Great interest is being manifested
throughout the state in the Republican

of more than 800. Special music and
other entertainment will be provided.

extent to which the men who own the

They must realize the value to them

The minimum wage commission last
week adopted the $500 minimum
wage recommendation Of the recent
factory conference applying to women
employed in the factories of the state.
The wage will go into effect about
August /. No rules have been estab-

because Of the great difference in the

the Snohomish county game commits

game warden, to suggest method OF
getting rid OF the animals. The COM
mission has spent between 1900 and
50, 900 trying to get them into another
section of the grounds where they were
first liberated. Mr.. Darwin has re-
ceived the promise from the federal
authorities that they will try to arrange
to transfer the elk into Oregon. This
is likely to prove quite an undertaking,
as the game warden of Snohomish
county claims that all attempts to cor

Commerce has decided to spend a
substantial sum Of money is assem-

specimens from all over the state.
Every section Of the state is invited
to send choice specimens adapted
for exhibition purposes, either to the
exhibit department of the Chamber Of
Commerce, or to Clark & Nesvold,
Goldendale, Washington, with whom
arrangements have been made for pro-
cessing and delivering. The exhibit,
which it is believed will be of incalcu-
liable value to Washington, is designed
to interest people in the development
of the state and to induce them to be-
come producers from the land.

Members Of the GA. r., Sons Of
Veterans and Spanish American War
Veterans have had their ire very much
aroused by labor leaders in control OF
local organizations, as the result of an
incident which happened in Seattle on
Memorial Day. At a meeting OF the
Central Labor Council held just prior
to Decoration Day it was declared by
speakers that the real heroes of this
country were not the men who persisted
in the Civil or Spanish wars, but those
who gave up their lives in the cause
OF labor during the Chicago Haymarket
riots, and the Ludlow and Colorado
riots. 1t was decided to march on
Decoration day in honor Of the mem
cries Of these martyrs. The Civil War
Veterans and the Sons OF Veterans
learned of the action Of the labor coun-
Gil and sought to prevent organized
labor from injecting itself into the
Memorial Day parade, but without re-
suit. The laboring men paraded and
flags which they carried had little
dash of the red about them in order to
give the appearance of the red flag.
Fortunately for the peace of the city
the labor parade was held in the after
noon while the veterans parade was
held in the morning. The action oil
the labor leaders in trying to inject
their troubles into the observances Of
the me-honored Memorial Day has
created big sensation among the real
veterans of the Northwest, and it is
likely that some statewide action will
be taken in the matter.

failure. The attorney general also, has
been asked whether the game commits
sion of Snohomish county has any right
to destroy the elk, or if the chief game
warden of the state can give this right,
in case the elk cannot be transported.
The announcement was made at the
State Bankers convention last week in
Walla Waila that the 1915 convention
OF the Amirican Bankers Association,
a national organization, will be held in
Seattle. The statement was made by
Col. F, E. Farnsworth, secretary of the
national organization, who came to Sc
attic to ascertain the advisability Of
holding the big gathering on this
Coast. The convention will bring
about 1000 Of the country's bankers to
the Pacific Northwest. 1t is believed
that this convention will result in
greater and more permanent good
for the Northwest than any other
national gathering that has ever been
held here. The date will be given
