FRIDAY, APRIL 2, 1920 MATERIALS FOR CEMENT MAKING Economy in Permanent Building Lies in State- Own- ed Plant and Casper is Logical Location By FRED PATEE. If anyone doubts the fact that the automobile owners want cement high- Ways. let them spend the next fine Sunday «afternoon at the Platte River bridge and count the number of auto- mobiles that cross that bridge for the exclusive purpose of taking a spin over the five miles of cement payement. on the Salt Creek road. Recently there were literally hundreds of automolsies on that pavement all the time, and not only in the afternoon, but all day long they went and came, Now, inasmuch as the total expense of the state’s share of automobile owner in the form of license, hayen’t they, as the folks who pay | the bill, the right to say what kind of a highway they ‘want? I say they have. And you cannot, find, to save your life, a single owner -of gn auto- mobile-or truck, who will not say, give me a hard surfaced road. And 90 per cent of them will say, give me a cement highway. Cement, we must have, Wuetner we get a cement highway or not; it is absolutely impossible to make Permanent highway of any other ma- terial without the use of cement for a base, ‘Therefore, we want and-must have a cement plant right here in Cas- per, Some persons have thrown out a doubt as to our having the proper ma- terials here for. making Portland cement. But I say we have everything that is necessary to make the best Portland cement in the world. Cement is made from a wide range of different materials, though in a general way they must be in the same class. Clay, shale, lime, chalk-marl, cement rock, aolimite of lime, limerock and gyp- Sypsum are used by diffefent plants in various mixtures. Then there is blast } furnace slag, such as is usél by the} Universal Portland Cement Company, at Gary, Ind. Our materials here are ot the class that require the least} power for grinding, and contain the least moisture/ therefore they are the least expensive to make, It takes less naural gas to burn them and less power to grind them than it does in the case of the Universal plant at Gary, and in 1914 they were making cement} at Gary for 29 cents per barrel. Why | should the state highway department continue to pay approximately $4 per barrel for Portland cement when we can make it here in Casper for not to exceed 50 cents per barrel? The highway department has Dp and make is ‘own cement. They do not have to ask anybody whether they may or may “hot do -so; they throw away an old tractor and get a new one, and they throw away an old grader and get &-new one wheney and wherever they need it, A cement plant is only ‘@ tractor or a grader’on a large scale, part of their equipment necessary for the economical building of good roads. Why should they not come here and build such a plant? Casper pays more automobile tax than any other city in the State of ‘Wyoming; Casper also pays more taxes of any other kind than any other city in the state. Casper can furnish the material for the manufacture of Port- land jcement for less money than any other city in the state, Casper is cen- trally located and can deliver the ce- ment to all points in the state for less money in freight charges than any other city in the state. Let Casper have a cement plant, and lets do it now. POLISH ARMY LIEUTENANT TOBE SHOT FOR LOSS OF $69 LOST ON HORSE BETS (By Associated Press.) WARSAW (By Mail)—Lieut.

RESUMTION OF FRENGH POM MAY BREA” DESCHANEL IRONOS WIL"BE MADE ON FORTUNE OF WIE, REPORT By HENRY WOOD, United Press Staff Correspondent.) PARIS By Mail).—There is every re: son to believe that the private for? tune of Mme. Deschanel, which is. re- ported o besyery large, is going to suf- fer some terriffic assaults during the seven years’ term of her husbarl as president of France. A In fact, it is even to be presumed that unless) M. and Mme, Deschanel hadn't figured that the honor was well worth paying highly for, M. Deschanel would have let Clemenceau have it, While France ‘never intended, any | more than did the United States, that the president should have to pay large- ly out of his own pocket, the cost of his job, unfortunately the increased cost of living and the decreased value of French currency, has made the French presidential» job one that~ is anything but promising from a. financial | point of view. The salary and allowances now fall) Finally, Ex-President Poincare has re- turned to his former professions ; of. senator and attorney in order to re- plete the inroads made jin His privute fortune during his term as president. The total allowances to the French president are 1,200,000 francs a. year or 100,000 francs a month. Outiof this he must pay every cent of his domes- tic expenses including the large retinue of_ servants, secretaries and numerous othér employes, He must keep up the} state automobiles and the state stables Hiiled with horses for drawing the state carriages when state visitors are his guests, He must also pay all the\expenses of state dinners,ewhich are numerous and large. These'dinners are usually served of the city, Before the war, they cost about 40 francs a plate. Now 40 franes won't buy an ordinary lunch- eon in one of the better-class of cafes | and restaurants. of Paris. The cost of uniforms and liveries for the servants is also a big item. Before the war the uniform for one of the out- riders on the presidential coach on 81 franes for the coat, the waistcoat _ Ww Teather breeches 126 francs, it Of these now has unquestionably tripled. ‘The president's charity gllowances for the upholding of the dignity and} position of president.
