While traveling at high speed, the train began to rock, then left the rails. The engine buried its nose in a wayside bank and three coaches |were badly wrecked.

Town Finds Ashestos, Uses It in Chimneys Casper, Wyo., Aug. 25. P—Two thousand chimneys of Casper bomes are bullt of cement and asbestos, because the asbestos mimes are near and the material is cheap. So extensive is local use of as- bestos that it has created & new state industry, C. F. Diets, assist- ant state geologist, points out. Wyoming has several asbestos deposits, chiefly of the valuable chrysotile variety, in balf a dozen mounta'y ranges. In other large producing states, Diets says, com- mercial deposits are generally con- fined to one small area. ' 1w its The United States is the largest consumer of asbestos products in the world, but it imports 99.5 per cent of the mineral—largely from Canadian mines just over the Ver- mont line.

This statement is based upon these facts:— 1. The Connecticut public looks to us not only to furnish quick, accurate, reliable telephone service day in and day out, but also to provide in advance the necessary facilities to meet future telephone requirements. 2. To maintain present service at a hjgh standard, and to provide for the needs of the future, we must con- ‘s'tanfly construct new buildings and install new e_quipf ment. : 3. To build this telephone plant, we must secure ‘more and more money — capital — from the invesfipg public. 4. To induce investors to put their money into th:s business, we must offer them not only the security of a. sound and well-conducted organization, but fair wa.ges " for their money in the form of dividends on their i mth- mvest in this Company, we must obtain in revenue, from the service we render to the public, a fair return upon our property investment. using public an income representing a fair return upon our telephone property, we cannot pay the wages for money which will attract new capital into the business; and without new capital ‘we cannot build the plant to maintain proper standards of present service nor pre- pare for future telephone needs. The resulting situa- tion would be wholly unsatisfactory to the public of Connecticut. JAMES T.
