Good Roads Effort Aims to Link Browning to LaCrosse
The Browning Commercial Club reports progress on a county road from Browning east to La Crosse with farmers and volunteers actively dragging and ditching. A committee will meet in La Crosse Friday to discuss wider improvements, including bridges and culverts, and to coordinate with Linn and Sullivan counties. The push, backed by the community, targets a reliable road from Browning to the region, labeled Good Roads. Meanwhile a theater feature, The Man the Girl and the Photo, is advertised for a week with Ferdinand Belknap’s musical comedy and an Opera House appearance if weather disrupts outdoor showings.

Cement making materials and plant material needs
A barrel of Portland cement uses 450 pounds limestone and 150 pounds clay or shale. A 1,000 barrel per day plant yearly needs about 66,000 tons limestone and 22,000 tons clay or shale. With density assumed, 1,000 barrel plant uses nearly 1,000,000 cubic feet limestone and 250,000 cubic feet shale annually. Investment severity favors sites with at least 20 years of raw material. A 1,000 barrel plant should have 20,000,000 cubic feet limestone and 5,000,000 cubic feet clay or shale on site.
