Official Vote On
Tri-Tunnel Bill

The secretary OF the Canon City
Chamber OF Commerce is just in re.
ceipt of the official count on the Til
Tunnel amendment. This count shows
that out of the SO counties in this
state only IA voted in favor of the
amendment and 49 against. The
counties having a majority for were
Adams, Aaraphoe. Archuleta, Denver,
Gilpin, Grand, Gunnison, Jackson. JET
ferson, Moffat, Ouray. Roi Blanca,
Routt and Summit
The total maporities in these coun-
ties was only Al 1894. and deducting
the majority in Denver of 30,151,
means that the rest Of these counties
only had majority of 11,743. Prac-
tically all these majorities come with
in the districts effected by the Mof-
fat tunnel project.
These figures ought to show Den
yer that the rest Of this state must be
taken into consideration in the future.
Denver stated II had 200 business men
scattered all over this state working
for this amendment, and the opposi-
tion did not have any. except those
who spoke at few special meetings,
and the opposition spent less than
$4,000 fighting this bill Canon
City worked hard against this bill,
and the results prove that most Of
the other sections OF the state took
the same view as we did.

The Story
OF Making
Zinc Oxide

At the invitation of R. 5. Beall.
superintendent Of the local plant of
the Empire Zinc Company, couple CT
hundred or more Canon City people.
among them a small number of ladies,
Witnessed moving picture film at
the Opera House at 4 O'Clock Tues
day afternoon delineating the pro-
cesses of making zinc oxide at the
great plant of the company at Palmer
ton. Pa.
The picture was an extremely in
teresting one, particularly to the peo-
pie of this community, as il showed
practically the same methods that are
employed at the new plant of the
Empire company here in making oxide
of zinc, beginning with the reduction
of the GRE and proceeding step by
step through a long series of progress
sive movements until the finished
product was ready for the market.
AS an introduction to the scenes to
be depicted by the film, Mr.. Beall
made a short preliminary talk. and
concluded by asking Prof. Paul S. Gil
lispie of the high school faculty 20
read an address made recently by one
of the officers of the Empire Zinc
Company before the Princeton Club
in New York city. This address was
largely a historical treatise on zinc:
its discovery as metal, its multitude
OIL uses in the mechanic arts and the
tracing of the long lyist Of its utilities
down to the making of zinc oxide,
which enters so largely into modern
life as a paint pigment and as a COM
ponent part in the manufacture of
automobile tires.
From small beginnings a few years
ago the making of zinc oxide has
shown tremendous development, and
is now one of the great American m
dustries. The plant at Palmerton
embodies in it's equipment all of the
evolutionary progress made in the
processes of extracting. handling and
marketing zinc oxide and is a model
of its kind. at is somewhat larger
than the Canon City plant" said Mr.
Beall, but we hope in the course Of
the next few years to make the plant
here no less capacious and important
than its Eastern prototype"
There have been a good many in
dustrial films shown in Canon City
movies" within the last year or two
j for the purpose of, famiiarizing oul
/ people with big business" but none
. of them have been more entertaining
and Illuminating than the one Tues
day afternoon depicting the making
of zinc oxide. The manufacture d
a tremendous impetus by the late war
and is now upon a firm basis ant
foundation. Approximately 1,000,00'
tons Of 1t are turned out in this coun
try every year, of which somethin.
! like Is or 20 per cent is exported
chiefly to European nations.
