Thee Inqulrle are uaually answered hy the tatlon chemlat. Itelow la given typi cal letta-r ol Inquiry on thia aubject, and following it I tha reply given by tha nation chemlat. Welaer, Ida.,-Feb. 2, 1908, I would like to know tha Ingredient and prooea of making Portland cement. I tha body ol clay or aoapatoneT I think I have the raw material. Pleaae anawer and oblige. A. W. A great deal of time and labor have been (pent by variou chemlat in In vestigating tha oompoaitlon and prop artiaa of Portland cement. The con clualona drawn from the investiga tion ata not alway concordant, but no on dlaarmU from tha view that tha ewentlal Ingredient ol this kind of ce ment are lime, allioa and alumina. Other element are alway present, however, among them being tnsgneala, loda, potaih, iron, phmphorui, man ganeae, titanium, etc. According to Meade, good cement vary oonaiderably In oompoaitlon, but the throe Import ant lugredlenat will run about aa fol low: Lime, 6H to 87 percent; alllca. 19 to 26 percent; alumina, 6 to 10 per cent; and magneala is allowable to the ettent ol 3 to 6 per cent. The raw material Iron which Port land cement I manufactured are claaai fled aa argillaceous and calcareous. Horn common forma of tha tint are clay, shale, and slate, and of the latter limestone, marl and chalk. In theae two claaaea ol raw material are found all tha ingredient neeeaaary In tha manufacture of Portland oement. In tha iron legions of Pennsylvania, how ever, blast furnace slag is mad to re place th clay or shale. From what ever aourca the taw materials are ob tained, the cement manufacturer muat eea that they are ao mixed that the product of calcination con la I oa tha im portant compound mentioned above in lha proportions Uiat experience baa taught are the onea neceaaary In a good cement. It become almost imperative then that the chemical oompoaitlon of tha taw material ihould be known. Although tha writer la not personally acquainted with the limestone region ot thi state, it appeal that there arc at leaat two loralitiea in Northern Ida ho where lime tone la found In abund ance, and since clay la also present, at least in spots, in th same dieiriot, there aeem to be goix. reason for be lieving that In the future a great deal of tli Portland cement uaed in thi data will be made at home.

The aenate todav Darned An keny't bill, appropriating $220,Ou0 lor public building at Walla Walla. Washington, April 6. Beyond forc ing roll call on the approval of th i Journal and on adjournment, the Dem ocrrats ot the house today offered no obstruct on to the orderly transaction of business. This being suapension day, several important bill were pot through by practically unanimous vote. Among theae was the Hterling employ ers liability bill, only one vote being corded against it, that of Littlefiold, of Mali e. and the bill establishing a naval station st Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and arpropriating $050,000 for the purpose, against which Sherwood, of Ohio, stood alone. At 6: 10 p. ro. the bouse took a rccee until 11 :30 o'olock tomorrow morning. Saturday, April 4. Washington, April 4. The army ap propriation bill was completed by the senate committee on military affair today and will be reported to the aen ate on Monday. It will carry about $15,000,000 more than vu provided in the bill aa It passed the house, making a total of approximately $100,000,000. An item of about $7,000,000 waa in cluded to Increase the pay of th army, levenue cutter service and marine corps, but excluding enlisted men of the navy, in accordance with the pro vision ol the bill which was paaaed by the senate. Washington, April 4. By adopting a sweeping cloture rule in the bouse today, the Republicans left to the Dem ocrats very limited power. No longer csn a filibuster he conducted againtt rending to conference billa with tenate amendments; no longer uau a motion to close debate be amended or discuss ed, and no longer can a motion to ad journ lake precedence over a motion to take a recess. Williams forced a rollcall on the ad option ot the rule, and it was adopted, 138 to 119. Consideration of the District ol Co lumbia appropriation bill was then re sumed, but only after anotoer rollcall. Friday, April 3. Waahington, April 8. The senate committee on judiciary spent some hours oontldeilng the various bills in tended to relieve pmhibitoin state from federal interference iu dealing with liquor tratlic within the borders of such states, but oo sgreement wss reached. It was determined, however, to vote on the measure on Monday. From the discussion today there ap peared to be a chance for the reporting ol some measure dealing with a psrt ol the questions, at least, that have been agitated in a number of Houthern atatea, which have been prevented by Supreme court rulings from exeinising their police powers for the control ol intoxicants. Washington, April 3. When the house of repnsentatives adjourned late today, the breach between the msjority snd minority parties was, if anything, wider than ever. The leaders on both sides arrived on the scene early, appar ently none the worse for the parliamen tary struggle of the night before. The Democrats returned dilatory tactic and kept it up throughout the day, notwith standing the committee on rules apply ing the gsg law to general debate on the District of Columbia appropriation bill, which was in older lot considera tion. The rule was adopted amid up roar and after the Democrat has ex haust d every parliamentary move which they could make to obstruct its final disposition. Thursday, April 2. Washington, Apiil S. The executive session of the senate today wss largely consumed by discussion, without pas sage, of a bill to reorganise the publio school system in the District of Colum bia by placing it under the control of a director appointed by the national com misaioner ol education, superseding the control by the board of education com posed of oltiiena of the District. The bill relating to the settlement of claim of state on account ot the dis position of publio land was apain taken up and the Bacon amendment for set tling the accounts of owners ol cotton selxed by the government dining the Civil war, amounting to $5,000,000, was considered, but without results either on th bill or tha amendment. t Washington, April 2. Carrying a total of $11,608,806, the agricultural appropriation bill was paasrd by tha house lata today. It had been under discussion for nine day and from tha time it conaiiieralbn began until lbs Ivejr end its provision were attacked at every turn, with the result that it underwent many changes. Just before it par sage, Hcott, of Kansas, chairman of the agricultural committee, made an unsuoceesful fight to have stricken out the amendment adopted yeaterday con siderably increasing tha appropriation for soil investigation. Daring the delate today a brief flurry was created by Harrison, of New York, Democrat, characterising aa aocialistis the bill of the minority leader, Wil liams, providing for th utilization of tha treasury surplus in tha eonstrnctloa and Improvement of roads In the seve ral rtate. Wednesday, April I. Washington, April 1. Senator Hey born' three-day filibuster to defeat Representative Jones' bill authorising the Benton Water company to dam bnake river at Three-Mile rapids ended in utter rout this afternoon, the sonata turning him down by a vote of 47 to 4. The psasage of thia bill and tha con sideration of a meaeure for adjudicating the claima of a tales against the govern ment on account of the disposition of the proceeds of public lands occupied nearly the entire session of the senate today. Washington, April 1. Debate on tha agricultural appropriation bill waa de void of tba charges aod imputation which marked It consideration oa Monday and Tuesday. More proerreea was made with tha measure than on any previous day, and th indications are that it will finally get through to morrow. Today's discussion dwelt on a propo sition for an Increased appropriation for the fanners' bulletins, which, however, was refused, and lha subject of inquir ies into road-building, etc., by tha de partment, tbe trend of opinion being that such work should be encooraged. Tuesday, March 31.' Washington, March 31. The alleged tendency of tbe general government to override the powers ol the states of the Union and to Ignore tbe restrictions of the constitution was the subject of re marks by Teller, of Colorado, in tha senate today. He declared that there had grown up a practice of attempting to justify any act by the Federal author ities, whether there was autnority for it or not, so long aa it was atcribtd to the public interest. The remainder of tbe day was devot ed to discussion of the Bentcn dam bill on its merits. Hevburn and Borah, both ot Idaho, took opposing eidea. Hey burn opposing and Borah favoring. He) burn declared he would maintain his iiosition, even if eat it fled that by so doing he would imperil his seat in. the senate. No vote had been reached when the senate adjourned. Washington, March 31. After hav ing undergone many chsngea, the para graph of the agricultural appropriation bill relating to the bureau of forestry was finally pasaed by the house of representatives. An amendment by Humphreys, ot Wisconsin, to increase by $103,460 tha apppropriation for soil investigationa provoked a long debate. After many live-minute speeches bsd been made for and against the proposition, it was car ried, 100 to 88. The bill was laid aside lees than half completed, and the house adjourned. Mexico la Angry. Washington.Aprll 7. While the offi cial relations between the United States and Mexico were never more cordial than now, and while there is nothing in the material interests or desires of either repoblio which conflicts In tbe slightest degree with the others, offi cials of the American State department have become suddenly aware of the ex istence and rapid growth of a public sentiment in Mexici of distrust and suspicion ot Americans and ihe Ameri can's intentions respecting Mexican ter ritory. This condition is made more exaept rating but none the less harmless snd embarrassing from the fact that it is rntirely groundless in fact, and the officials declare has for its basis nothing but irresponsible newspaper gossip and criticism. Leech Is Public Printer, Washington, April 7. John S. Leech, of Illinois, now publio printer In the Philippines, was today appoint ed public printer. Mr. Leech ia a legal resident ot Bloomington, 111., although he served respectively as compositor, proof readers and foreman in the gov ernment printing olllce here from 1889 to 1901, at which time he was selected as public printer for the Philippines. He has made for himself a most envia ble record as an administrative officer there, according to reports in the poa. session of tbs insular bureau. 1
