WILL CAST MONSTER INGOT
Immense Lump of Steel Is to Be
Turned Into New Type of Sixteen
Inch Naval Gun.

There has just been cast at the Beth
lehem steel works monster ingot for
the first of the 16-inch rifles that are
to arm the great new battle cruisers
of the United States navy, under con-
struction at Camden. SO far as known,
writes Il Bethlehem Pa.) correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Record, the
foremost ship of this class now afloat
is the British cruiser Lion, with en-
gines of 10000 horse power. Her
speed is IA bit better than 40 miles an
hour and she carries 14-inch guns. The
American battle cruisers will have en-.
gines of 100000 horse power and each
will be armed with four 16-inch rifles,
which will shoot 20 miles. From pres.
ent indications there will be six of
them and Bethlehem has the order for
all the guns, which will be the larg-
est on any ships of this kind in any
navy.
The ingot required the contents of
.hree open-hearth furnaces, being 10
'eet inches long, 100 inches in diane
ter and weighing 10000 pounds. 1t
will take several weeks to cool such
an enormous mass of metal after
which it will be cut. bored and hollow
forged on the great armor plate press
INTO a tube 80 feet long. 1t is pro-
posed to finish these 16-inch guns in
record time in the new gun shop. which
$ wide enough ~ turn the tube around,
with room to spare. Special lathes
and other machinery had to be con
Structed to handle these guns, whose
parts, such ms jackets, rings and yokes,
re already being forged.

ELEVATORS IN
BLUFFS STORE
J SEAP0R' GRAIN
Omaha Grain Exchange Big
Asset to Council Bluffs Stor.
age Elevators; New Ones
Will Be Built.

With the completion and occupa-
ton Of the Northwestern grain ele-
vator the local storage capacity will
exceed that of any three Iowa or
Nebraska cities.
Council Bluffs is becoming head
quarters for the middle west grain
industry by reason of its superior
railroad facilities, which are denied
to all other large cities in Iowa and
the middle west. In the last year
the fields of the north and west
have been augmented by the Kan
sas and Oklahoma grain which is
TO go east, rather than south. Un-
der the present rule of all railways
acting as one, under general super
vision, the grain crops of these two
states are now shipped to Council
Bluffs, and with the Iowa, Ne
braska, Dakota and Minnesota
grain, it resumes its journey to the
seaports after being sold from the
Council Bluffs elevators.
Under the McAdoo supervision,
hundreds of grain cars are released
for other transportation uses, with
Council Bluffs as the distribution
point.
The increased elevator business is
shown in the statements of local
banks, which reflect to a large ex-
tent the increased business in this
one line. With the gradual decrease
in the implement distribution bust
ness made necessary and natural by
the income of the automobile and
tractor, the grain storage and ex-
change has come to fill the void.
For the first time in its history
Council Bluffs has big business as
set. which is assisted rather than
stinted, by the rapid growth of
Omaha, as the grain business of
Omaha is dependent largely on the
Council Bluffs elevators. In fact,
it is due largely to the growth of
the Omaha Grain exchange that has
made the new three big elevators
here possible and necessary. 1t is
predicted that all future building in
the elevator line will be done on
this side Of the river, as Council
Bluffs has the trackage room to
handle the products of the west.
The Northwestern and Burlington
are equipped to handle the grain
coming in on their lines, and in
formation has reached the Chamber
of Commerce that at least two large
elevators are in prospect for next
spring.
Coming as 1t does on recent In
crease of ground holdings adjoining
the Union Pacific and Northwes stern,
1T is taken to mean that many of the
small or line elevators will pass into
the discard, that the grain of the
middle west will be shipped direct
to Council Bluffs for classification
and storage until sent to its final
destination.
