Contractor Worthhigton Keen the
Bights f Portland.
Tho following communication was
received by The KveiiJng News from
a former HoBeburg citizen, George
Onham, of Portland, yesterday. The
article is a synopsis of Contractor
Worth lug ton's trip to Oregon's me
tropolis, giving in a concise manner
a few of the numerous objects which
presented themselves during hi
brief sojourn. In explanation It
might ho said that Contractor Oraf
tou Worthlugton, at one time a mem
ber of the city council, rind former
City Attorn'-y Frank O Micelll spent
last Wednesday at Portland, such be
ing the former's initial visit to Ore
gon's metropolis. In traveling about
the city the enllemen met George
Clrahum and the following poem , is
the result : i
I'h'Ht Time in 20 Yearn,
lit. had mustered up great courage,
' he had banished air his fears,
Me bid hfs loved ones all good bye,
their eves filled up with tears
As lit rttarted off for Portland, the
fiist time in twenty years
The train ride he enjoyed much more
than tongue can tell
And every two or three minute he'd
say. "Oh Frank, this is swell;
I hope- God in his wisdom lets me live
to see (he day
When we'll have a 'Shasta Limited'
between Itoteburg and Coos Pay."
They landed si fe at the Union depot,
th crush whs Foiaething great.
Ho held fast to Micella's hand when
coming through the gate.
There was a str lmr of autos; the chef-
feitrs all nnde a fuss.
Ho says "No th'ink you, Scott y, I'm
used to McClallail's bus."

Thereyire six really big shoe fac
tories in the United States. These
turned out 25.000.UOO pairs of shoes
last year. Shoes to Uie value of $10.
000,000 were sent abroad, and the re
mainder, valued at $340,000,000,
were used In this country. . Although
the trade In rubbers increases every
year, only $70,000,000 was bpent for
such things last yea
We are told that the preaching of
vegetarirnlsm interferes greatly with
the shoe busines. Last year Germans
took a notion to eat less meat, and,
according to the bookkeeper, the shoe
manufacturers In the laud of the kai
ser wore in despair. . It is eccssary to
sell a great deal of meat In order that
hides may he obtained without loss
This Is another instance of the ned
of co-operatfon between manufactur
ers of a!l kinds. Unless Switt and
rmour and the other packers are
able to sell their goods the factories
In the east must do with less leather.
It is Interesting to know that the
foreign bhoe rrrtdo is constantly in
creasing. American salesmen are en
tering darkest Africa and Inducing
the natives to court bunions and corns
by departing from their custom of go
ing barefoot.
