A HOPEFUL OUTLOOK.

Despite the abnormally high
levels in the cost of production
with the attendant falling off of
lead and silver prices, operators
producing those metals are main
tanning production with feel
ing of confidence that the future
will develop a better situation.
The Occur d'Alene district in
Idaho is one of the worlds chief
producers of silver. lead. Stanly
A. Easton, head of the Bunker
Hill & Sullivan Mining & Con.
centrating company, sums up the
situation in this way:
Northern Idaho lead mines,
depending, as they do, largely
on silver for their profits. are
notin as satisfactory condition
as they were last year at this
time. The lead market itself is
not as strong as it was, but is
good compared with the other
metals, and appears to have a
strong future.
THE demand for lead is
strong, the uses for the metal
are increasing, and substitutes
seem unable to give the same
satisfaction, while no new sources
of supply have been discovered
in any quantity.
Due to this demand, the mines
are able to make both ends meet
Notwithstanding that production
costs are at an abnormally high
level.
The falling off of the silver
price, due to the discontinuance
of silver purchase under the
Pittman act, has had an un.
favorable reaction, cutting pro
fits somewhat but not beyond
the danger line"

THE RESULTS FROM VISION.

In closing his address before
the Public Utility Commission.
ers of New England and Middle
Atlantic states in session in New
York City, October 13, last, for
discussion regarding greater
super power development, Sec
retary of Commerce Hoover said
1t is fitting that I should
make some remark upon the re.
markable progress and ability
shown by the whole electrical
industry since the days of Mr..
Edison's initial genius. They
have come to have large vision
of cooperation and service and
have in very large measure
realized their responsibilities 10
the public. One great mark of
their progress is that despite the
greatly increased cost of labor,
coal and other materials, there
is but little if any increase in the
cost of light and power to the
consumer today over prewar
prices. Under the protection of
state regulatory bodies over 9,
100000 of our people have in.
vested their savings in this in
dustry. From an annual utility
production of 1000, 100000 XIV.
hr. twenty years ago we have
increased to $4,000, 900, 900 today
with an increase in consumption
from 60 to 5O0kw. hr. per capita
1t is magnificent achievement
of the initiative and ingenuity of
these industries, and that it has
attained such a growth under
public regulation is itself proct
of the ability and CO operation OF
our public officials. I believe
that the same vision applied to
the wider problems which spread
before US will maintain the same
initiative and secure like pro-
gress in the future"

The two types of pavement
that stand out above all others
are the asphaltic concrete base

and the cement concrete base
with an asphaltic concrete sur,

The shock absorbing charact

The destruction of a pavement

Absorbing the shock saves the
