Kiln Biggest Pic. The Mcgeat piec of mai hlnerr !n connection !th the mnent plant for mation la the kiln, the tolal length of which Is "over 200 feet. One csn Ret little Idea of the magnitude of this machine, when it Is learned that the freight upon the same from the eat where manufactured, co.it the cement company over fS.000. The company experienced but little delay or trou ble from breakage of machinery in transportation, the only expenditure to date for repair being an Item of $4.00 for casting, tor the kiln. Thia Is considered quite remarkable In vie of the large amount of machinery that has been handled. Stringing Power Lin. The Portland Railway. Light A Power company, which has the con tract for furnishing light and power to the cement company, has a crew of workmen engaged In placing the poles and stringing the wire for th.' line that will run to the plant. The contract, which was originally mad with the ML Hood Power compnti7 and which company waa taken over by the Portland Railway. I.lsht At Power company, calls for 1200 horse power dal'y. Only One Serious Accident. Only or.e serious accident has so far occurred on the work of the cement company, this being the Injury ic ceived by Charles Sparks, a carpen ter, when he fell from a scaffold to the ground below, breaking his right leg In a couple or places. The acci dent occurred in the early part of Jan uary, and the man Is Just now- uMc to Have the hospital In Portland. President Butchart Coming. The cement plant Is to receive a vUlt during the next few days from the president of the company. F. P. Ilutrhurt. of Victoria. Ilrltlnh Colum bia. Mr. Ilutchart has nol been here since last December, when the work waa Just being started, after the re organization of the company, and he will see a vast Improvement and ad vancement. Mr. liutehart Is known as the father of th cement industry In the Canadian country, having been Identified with the manufacture fif such product for a good many years. He is at present the head of th , Vancouver Portlund Cement company, the largest cement manufacturlim' plant in the northern country. He became heati or tne ureon rortiaini company through the desire of tho stockholders, who, knowing his Hiie oeBsful career, prevailed upon him to take the chief official position. Ms was one of the stockholders of th.i original Osweeo cement company. In which he hid Invested several thou and dollars, and in the reorganization he Invested a still further sum In th" hopes of making the proixisltlon a suc cess. And now he is about to rea'1.n his faith in the project. Rut few people hereabouts know Uf ltitrh(ir! lint thuuf U'hn rlo. 4tcll!( j in the highest terms of him as a man 1 both in business and social Way. lie l Is a quiet, unassuming, unpretentio-is i fellow, who does not believe In mal-1 ing public his acts of either a public or charitable nature, and It Is said that it is questionable if his picture has ever appeared in a newspaper. To j give a little idea of his true nature it is pointed out thut his close friends j are acquainted with the fact that he ! has donated or subscribed nearly $25.-1 000 to the Canadian war fund, also a motor truck and a machine gun, lh; total of which would be In round fig ures better than J 10,000, yet not a word of all this has appeared In the Canadian newspapers, while others who have given considerably less have had their photos printed and great stories made of their subscriptions. Hut Mr. Ilutchart U one of those fen who, In giving to any public or charit able work, does not nelieve In letting hi! left hand know what the right doeth. Superintendent Newlands Papular. The successful outcome of the Os wego plant can be attributed to Mr. Itutchart's management, for In the re organization he saw to It that the work of building and Installation was placed in th? hands of true and tried men In the cement Industry, several of whcin had been In his employ for a number of years, chief among which Ih L. C. Newlands, present superintend ent of the Oregon Portland Cement i company, and who will doubtless be kept at the head of the local organiza tion.
