It is devoted to the manufacture of cement products', 2nd w2s established by J. W. Heminger and Clark Pcrter, (both of this city. iScme outside part are interested, the Chantr'e men own by far the controlling interest in the stock ard it is a home in-s-titut on. It bezan business this week, and will manufacture all kinds of supplies for use in building foundation and (building blocks, mantle torlck, shingles, porch ipillars, and ether decorative products of cement.

Ths factory is east of Floral Park, about a iblock south of Main street. It is right alongside a switch from the Katy railroad company, and the 'bus in which the raw material is 'stcred are so close to the track that sand can be shoveled dire ctly into them from the cars. Enough, of th? machinery had arrived last week toiaegin work, 'but thu' company delayed operations to wait for more pallets. These are. the traye upon wMch the 'bricks and shingles are stacked up in racks to dry.

The shingles are qu'te a novelty. The machine in which they are made casts five at a time, and it is possible for one man to turn out four of shingles a day. The bo3is in plant made a test one day of last week and two of them turned out ten shingles in a few seconds more than two m'nutes. The shingles are perforated so-hey can 1be nailed on' to a roof, or they can be fastened on ibyi wire. Th company possesses the secret of making them absolutely waterproof.

This is -done by putting them through a special process. At the same time they are waterproofed, they C3n be stained any color that is desired, as green, red, or otherw se. cost of these shingles, so the Tribune was informed, is more per thousand than, for ordinary shingles, S3 11 1- '4 Spring showers and summer sun will test the work the painter's done.

It is so arranged that molds of different kinds can be used to produce different kinds of (brick. Thus a plain 'brick with do ornament whatever can be turnedi out, or stes ox molds can be substituted which will make brick with a rope runt-ning along the face of them, or with imitations of carving in various designs. Molds are also supplied far turning out "corner" ibrick in the various designs, the same as icorner building blocks are made. Ail kinds of molds are in stock for porch-pillars, and the like. Pillars are made up in sections.

Part is cast in one moldt piart in- another, and so on. Because of this, with the great veir.irty of molds that the company now has, many beautiful ana tasty designs can be wrought. The plant will, of course, manufacture the building 'blocks, plain and ranged, which are now ibe'ng generally used for foundations, and which are also coming into use for the ccn- si ruction of walls. Toe company has fenced in a large lot in which to dry these blocks. The shingles, brick and fancy articles will be housed the work shed.

Water lines have been constructed to sirir.iAle the blocks when they are set out to sesson. The application of water during the seasoning process makes concrete harder and firmer than when it is left to dry without sprinkling, the winter time the pipes will carry steam to provide the heat which the chemical action transforming cement to con crete. There is every indi'cat'on that the plant will have ail the business' iTiat it con handle. It has already received many orders for blocks, shingles, and the. like, and as soon as it has a full line of samples of decorative tor'eks, it is- likely that these, too, will be in great demand.

The factory will manufacture the concrete products which Mr. Hera inger will use. in building the new hemb which he is constructing on North ghland avenue. This will Ibe the second concrete residence in Chanute. The establishment of such a facj tory is important as showing the extension of the uses to whrch cement is being put for structural purposes, and indicates that th's is to be an important factor in the future.y Tb3 cement which tihe comipany -has in its wi3reroom came from the fo plant of the Ash Grove Lime and Portland Cam eat company, just north of the city, so that everything which it turns out will be entirely a home product.

NO STRAWBERRY ASSOCIATION iFor the first time in many years the 'berry in the vicinity of Chanute are their crop th's season as individuals, and not as members of an association. The principal reason-for this is that the iberry patches, many of them, have 'been plowed out, so that there will not be more than one acre in ten to strawberries aut 'Chanute as compared with a few years ago. Anotlher reason is that th-e local market has become large enough to consume nearly all of the 'berries that are produced near here, and there is no need to export. In the dayis when 'Chanute was smaller and iberryt patches were larger, in order to market their crop advantageously the iberry growers formed an association and delivered their product all to an ag-ent who acted for The agent got the best price te could, and seti tenants' were made on the basis of each day's sales, the raisers wfoo brought in the fruit getting in proportion to wha' they furnished, the proceeds from the sale thereof. Berries were shipped out of Chanute by the -carload, moa: of the car shipments being sent to Colorado.

There was always more than enough to supply the home market, and an outside marker had to be provided. All this is a thing cf the past, however, as far as present conditions are concerned. StrawToerries cannot be raised continuously wl success. A patch lasts about four years and then it has to be given a rest, so experienced growers say. The vines have to be renewed every year, to achieve the best resulrs." "Outwittng the by the Seniors, the Hetrick' Monday nigh: May 31st.
