WHY NOT BUILD NORTH
FROM OGDEN?
Announcement Is made that the
Western Pacific railroad Is to build
into Idaho This Is equivalent to say
ing that the Denver & Rio Grande Is
to be extended In that direction, as
the Western Pacific has been absorb
ed by the parent company.
This Is also serving notice
on the Weber club that there Is an
excellent opportunity presented for
missionary work In showing the Gould
people that, if they seek to tap the
rich rrelght fields of Idaho, they
should go north from Ogden.
ThU city marks the dividing linj
between the traffic that goes east and
west; It also Is the center of the
freight and passenger business of
Utah. To take advantage of this dls- '
tribuung point and to make the most
of present conditions, the Denver &
Rio Grande should build out of here.
A Gould road from Ogden to the
heart of the agricultural region on
the Snake river would par for Itself
within five years
If the Denver & Rio Grande does
not go north from Ogden by the most
direct route Into the Snake river val

BRICK AGAIN
IN FAVOR
It is probable that few people, even
! among those who are connected with
the Building Trades, realize the enor
mous exteut of the manufacture of
brick In the lower Hudson river re
gion. So large are the quantities
turned out In recent years that the
ng'ir. r would doubtless bo questioned
comln? from any less reliabl." source
I than the United States Geological
Sur ey
j In a bulletin Just Issued bv George I
Otis Smith, director of the Surwy, :t
lis stated that the consumption of;
brick In Greater New York durlne
I the year. 1912. was over a million I
I thousands, alued at Jo, 850,770 This
was an Increase in that vear of 93 -117,000
brick, and of $1,138,137 in vai-j
ue over the consumption in that field
I In 1911. U Is stated In the bulletin
that the output ot brick in the Hud- I
on river district would have been I
still larger last year If the activity
of the industry had not been cur
tailed by scarcity of labor and strikes
among the brick-makers
The figures given by the Survev
bulletin are Interesting, indicating as
they do that concrete and cement
construction has not superseded brick '
II was freely predicted a few years
ago that concrete blocks would prac- !
tlcally displace brick as building ma
terial It appears, according to the I
experts of the Geological survey, that '
there was a definite back to brick
movement in the metropolis and Its
suburbs in 1912, and an increasing
use of brick as high-class building
material.
The cause of the increased use of
brick is not far to seek, The menace
to the brick Industry by the concrete
block was real: for this newer con
struction was widely heralded. To
meet the new and apparently danger-
L
ous competition, radical changes Id
brlck-maklug were Introduced, and
superior bricks took the place of this
which had known little change for
generations Improved brlck-maklng
machinery, and scientific methods of
burning reduced the cost of brick
greatly On the other hand, little ad
vance was made In the quality of con
crete blocks In many cases the true
lormula for concrete was neglected
by its manufacturers and Inferior
blocks were often furnished. Thus,
while the brick-makers were obliged
to Improve the product to meet com
petition, there was retrogression rath
er than advancement in the new in
dustry While the concrete block has manj ,
advantages, and when honestly made,
! is an excellent substitute for brick
I and stone under certain conditions, it
j has not had the anticipated offset of
superseding brick for superstructure
purposes. (Advertisement)
