LIMESTONE QUARRIES
 ARE TO BE DEVELOPED

EUGENE, Ore, Dec. A. Elk tensive development of limestone quarries and the erection of large cement factory at Grants Pass, Ore, near here, are indicated. it is be- lieved locally by the fact that the Beaver Portland Cement Company has advertised for bids for the con struction of a standard gauge rail- way three miles long and 5000 feet of tramway leading from the California and Oregon Coast Rail- way to the company's quarries in the mountains southwest of Grants Pass.
 Hackers of the project have an nounced that a cement plant will be erected somewhere in the vicinity and have indicated that Grants Pass, or a point near there, would be the logical location for such plant. The cost of the enterprise is esti- mated at $1,500,000.
 as the Marble Mountain Railroad. The survey for it has been com- plcted, and right of way pur- chased. According to representa- tives of the company. the railroad and tramway will be completed early in 1923.
 An electric power plant, construc- ticn of which has already been started, is included in the plans of the company.
 The new railroad will open up an almost unlimited supply of 98 per cent pure calcium carbonate. The lime area is known to be over 2S acres in extent. It is estimated that 30,000,000 tons are in this area. The deposit is exposed vertically to a depth of 750 feet

SEES ERADICATION
OF TUBERCULOSIS
AMONG U.S.. CATTLE
DIR. Kiernan Shows How
Disease Has Been
Greatly Reduced.

ST. LOUIS Sept. 10.-Complete
eradication OF tuberculosis among
cattle is practical possibility.
Dr. J. A. Herman. chairman of the
International Tuberculosis Com
mittee and connected with the De-
partment Ct Agriculture. declared
here before the American Veteri-
nary Medical Association.
Dr. Kiernan placed before the
convention statistics showing that
cattle infection of this character
has been greatly reduced and is
now comparatively light.
IN thirty-seven States, compris-
ing 46.2 per cent of the area Of
this country and containing more
than 40 per cent of the cattle of
the country, there is less than l
per cent of tuberculosis" said DR..
Kiernan. THE livestock owners in
those States have decided that the
disease shall be eradicated. In
this area there Is such an active
sentiment against the plague that
It does not seem too much to ex-
pect that within ten years it Will
he entirely eradicatcd or reduced
to a minimum.
Inasmuch as it has been dem
onstrated that bovine tuberculosis
may be eradicated from an indi-
vidual herd or group of herds
or from all the herds within
circumscribed area. there is no
reason to believe that the cam
paign inaugurated in 1917 will be
atandoned until it is wiped out in
every county in the United States"
DIR. Kiernan called attention to
the rapid progress that is being
made in many States where there
Is a high percentage OF tuber-
culosis,
From July 1. 1917. to June 20.
l75.O0O tuberculous cattle were de-
stroyed in this country. When the
campaign began it was thought by
some persons that the destruction
of SO many cattle would cause
shortage of dairy products and
cause alarm among consumers. But
this has not been the case. The per
CAPITA consumption Of milk has in
creased and the number of milk
cows increased $4,000 head in 1921.
