vermont,s Asbestos Industry.


Vermont has gone into the asbestos
industry with win and lays claim
to having one of the largest mills OF
its kind in America. Near the village
Of Eden il the heart Of Vermont ashes.
tos land, and there the Asbestos Cor
poration of America has just com
pleted building modern equipment val
ued at upward Of 100000. The com
pany is at the present time bidding for
a big contract with southern Califor-
mia manufacturer of asphalt, to sup
ply him with Vermont asbestos, which
win be shipped from Portland, Me-,
through the Cape Cod and Panama
calans to Los Angeles, Cal, and be
delivered at the manufacturers door
from the asbestos mills within % days.
Charles II. Thompson formerly of
Brattleboro), president and gen
eral manager OF the corporation, plans
TO start the first shipment in January
and have two boats month in the
work.
Some Is miles south Of the YER
mont Quebec border, dam obstructs
the Missisquoi river in its course west
ward to Lake Champlain. From the
adjoining power plant, the wires of a
transmission line string off the direc-
ton of Belvidere mountain. Half way
up the mountain side from the village
Of Eden and q miles from the gener
ating station the line terminates in a
clearing.
The Belvidere mountain district has
certain material advantages over Ca
madam operations 10 balance against
its disadvantages. The percentage of
mill fibre is considerable higher than
the average for the Canadian districts.
The Canadian product may be loaded
more or less directly aboard cars, but
the rock has to be quarried largely
from deep pits, with all the retinue OF
special equipment and operating costs
this entails, and dumping space for
waste rock has come 20 be a serious
problem.
The Belvidere mountain product has
to be let down the mountain side and
hauled ~ miles to the nearest ship
ping point which is HYDE Park, the
home of the United States senator,
Carroll S. Page. The rock can be quar-
ried from the mountain side above and
the unlimited opportunity is afforded
for the disposal Of waste down the
mountain side, the gravity aiding in
the flow from the quarry TO the dump.
The work of getting the asbestos
mine ready for action has been going
on under the direct supervision of Mr.
Gilbert and Mr.. Thompson during the
early part of the year. Operations be-
gan on May 25 and the enterprise had
passed the experimental stage on July
Is so that today the daily capacity Of
the mills is SO tons of the finished
product and things are running fun

The second new hydroelectric unit is
nearly completed at Stevens mills and

planking on the dam, and canal i'm

power plant which Is p miles from
the mills and quarries, represents in

advertising even If he does say
he never reads advertisements"
Not one Of us ever reasoned
out entirely from his own mind
that the earth is round. If we
had not read it or heard it we
would never have known it.
In these days of good, truthful,
helpful advertising to say II
never read advertisements" is
merely your way of saying, II
don't read all advertisements"

Tientsin, May 9.-Gen. WI Peifu,
Who came.to Tientsin from Picking in
pursuit of the Manchurian general,
Chang Tso-lin, was ordered by the all
lies military commanders here to leave
the city, as his presence was held to
be in violation of the 1901 protocol. He

necessary for his purpose.
A critical situation is developing on
the railway between Tientsin and
Shanhaikwan, which is situated on the
Manchurian frontier. About 10000 of
the defeated troops of Gen. Chang Tso-
lin are being held up at Tongshang,

"STANDING PAT" on MEXICO
Washington Still Firm for Guarantees

Washington, May 9-The United

of the Obregon regime in Mexico near
ly a year ago. and 50 far General
Obregon and his advisers have given
no definite assurances that the guar
antics will he given in order to make
formal recognition of their govern
men possible. Many limitations that
the Mexican authorities might be IA
vorably disposed toward the Washing
ton request have reached the state de-
partment, but officials here will not be
satisfied with anything less than for
NAL pledge by the Obregon govern
ment itself Consequently. it was said
at the state department. the situation
remains just where it was when the
terms of recognition were submitted
to Mexico City in June, 1921.

not recognize the Russian soviet gov

France has kept a free hand in this
matter, and it makes no difference
what action the Genoa conference may
take.
Recognition of the soviet regime"
he added, will have to wait until it
has proved its good faith by keeping
international engagements and shown
itself a representative government"
There is not longer hope in official
circles of an agreement with the Rus
slams, according to this official, who
predicted that Russia's attitude would
become more and more uncompromis-
ing.
He admitted, however, that the CON
ference had done some good work. and
said the results achieved by the eco
nomic and financial commissions were
acceptable to France
