may find transportation to a profitable
market for their output. trust the
amendment proposed by the gentleman
from Wisconsin will not be adopted.
Mr.. Miller Enters Vigorous Opposition
MIR Miller of Delaware. Mr..
Chairman. l desire to oppose the
amendment of the gentleman from
Wisconsin am glad the gentleman
from Pennsylvania (Mr. Moore) ex-
planned this to the committee, because
the people who stand ready to invest
thir money in the Smyrna Steamboat
Line that will use this stream are
people in Philadelphia. They have
been held up the past two years in
starting this line because, as the
gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr.
Moore) has said. there is a controversy
regarding the right of way between
the United States engineers office
and the local people who are to give
the land for the cutoff. In 1913, in
spite of this controversy there were
carried over this stream abut 125, 900
tons, valued at over $1,O00,OOO. In
1914 it fell, according to these statis-
tics here. to 20,O tons, but it was
valued at $500, 900. Right there
want to say to the committe that, upon
my own investigation, l have learned
that the people who use this stream
have not reported their tonnage.
Now, that is their fault, but / submit
that the value of this port and the
value Of the goods carried over this
stream warrant an appropriation. In
1915 there were carried, it shows
here, only Is, 900 tons, as compared
with 20, 900 the year before, but the
value is almost double-about $500,
| 000-which further substantiates my
point that these statistics are not cor
rect, because they do not show the
correct amount of tonnage really using
this stream. And, as Mr.. Moore Rad
said, for a community that is really
dependent upon water transportation
for its commercial livelihood the sum
of $40, 900 appropriated in this bill
and the $3.50 left over from last
year, to which the gentleman from
Wisconsin refers, is not much money
to expend on this improvement.
may say that the town of Smyrna is
one of those towns which was short.

The United States bureau Of mines has lately issued a statement
in regard to a Portland cement Plant at Riverside, Cal, which shows
how an apparatus, instaledsto avoid nuisance and Save the health of
the workers, has become the central feature Of the whole establish
ment. &M ##&#### #M4## @8af&&@ sZN aBT
One of the great troubles of a Portland cement mill is the dust
It is likely to disturb vegetation by settling down on growing things,
and it is unwholeso1ne for the men employed IN the mill. The factory
in question was in trouble onsthis account, and it availed itself Of
Professor ottrells invention to preciptate the particles on their way
to the stack by means of electric currents. Now this dust contains
potash, and so efficient is the installation, that 80 per cent Of the CON
tent Of this precious product Is recovered in the form OF potash salts.
The present demand for potash il this country is something like Coal
Oil Johnny s thirst, which, according to the legend, was nnquenchable.
AS is well known, we formerly obtained our entire supply from Ger
many, and these salts which they produce in California brings as
high as $500 and $3.50 a ton, and even then are hard to find. #
The Riverside concern finds that its potash salt output pays its
entire operating costs plus a reasonable profit, leaving the cement,
which it will soon be producing at a rate Of 5000 barrels per day, as
clear profit-ssvelvet,' = in the vernacular. 1t has no immediate market
for SO much cement, but what is not sold is kept as clinker in dry
storage. The covering costs are slight-and there are worse things
to own as an investment than large quantities of Portland cement;
especially fit does not cost anything.
