The Review reporter dropped in to that institution between u couple of minutes Monday morning and met several surprises, also Mr. Hugh Ritchie, the genial cashier and office man of the works. Mr. Ritchie very kindly conducted the butiusky of the mallet mid shooting Girls as They Were Backward, turn backward, Oh time in your flight, Give us a maiden dressed proper and right. Wc are so weary of switches and rats, Hill llitrk clusters and peach basket hats. Wads of jute hair in a horrible pile Stacked on their bends to the height of a mile. Something is wrong with the maid ens we fear, Give us the girls as they used to appear Something Rotten stick over the entire nlant. patiently Give us the girls we once knew of explaining the different processes yore Whose curls did not come from a hair-dressing store. Maidens who dressed with a sensi ble view, And just as God intended them to. Give us a figure nil of her own, Fashioned by nature entirely alone. Feminine styles getting scarcer each year. Oh give us the girls as they used to uppcar. Fx. the mass of metal goes through from the pin to our kitchens and parlors of our homes. We started at the blast furnace, because there Is where the "pig makes his debut into the labyrinth of evolutions that go to make up the finished product. Mr. Ritchie said that very little old castings were used, pig iron being utilized almost exclusively, because it turned out a better product, and quality was .1 .1 t.. ...... .,t.i...... 1 1.. ..n l III: inline 1111:1111 iwuniuciiii 111 mil., 1 a r I their operations.

This machine removes the suud and dust which is carried outside the building by an air blast. The snuu- condition exists in the polishing room where the dust is carried uwuv from the operators. The mountings are nickel plated, an en tire room being filled with baths of different kinds for this process. From here they go to the above mentioned polishing room where they are polished by means of rap idly revolving buffers. Then they join the other parts iu the mounting room, where the different parts are ussembled, carefully fitted and put up into the different kinds of heat era and ruiiKes, each a thing of beauty and a joy to the user. Speaking of rouges: This factory turns out the best there is 011 earth iu this line. The pencil pusher is fortunate in the possession of one of these through the good offices of Calef Bros., and heknows where of he speaks, but he didn't know the why, until Mr. Ritchie showed him how they were constructed. The oven is made of the best ijual ity of 1 6-guage sheet steel, 40 tons of which was recently received, the factory being obliged to carry from 40 to 60 tons in order to be sure ot a constant supply at economical fig The same is true of the pig, One of P. J. Peterson & Co.'s most valuable horses met death by drowning mid a horse belonging to C. K. Wheelock & Co. was badly injured Saturday morning. Sever- il teams Had been taken to the rock buukeis on the west side of the river to bring over crushed rock. Two wagons had been load ed and started toward the ferry, stopping at the railroad track until the third wagon was loaded. Ac counts of the affair vary, but it seems the drivers have been help ing each other to load, and at the time the two leading teams were driverless, For some reason tin team at the bunkers became fright oucd and wildly started down to ward the other teams, which also became frightened, all starting at a terrific clip toward the ferry laud tig. Peterson s team iu the lead managed to stop when it reached the apron of the approach, but tin other two tenuis came crowding against the wagon nt the rear.push lug it over into the water, and Wheelock s team following suit The water ut this point was oulv about five feet deep, and there was reason to hope that none of the an itnnls would drown, but some party iu attempting to extricate the Pet erson horse from his harness, tin wittingly cut the check rain that kept its head from going under. As soon as this was cut the horse's head was drawn under by the oth er trappings and it expired before it could be released. After much difficulty the other three horses were taken from their perilous po sitiou, when it was discovered that Mr. Wheelock's horse was badly cut and bruised, but not danger ously so. I he two wagons were badly demolished. Mr. Peterson fi mires his loss of horse, wacon and a' loadng u,l M 'the J"L bS time. But returning to the oven: The sides and bottom have two Have a Rally Day thickuesses of the sheet steel with asbestos lining between them. The dtaft of the range is so arranged that the heat must go entirely around the oven, and iu the bot tom the blaze strikes a deflector causing it to twice cross that por tion of the oven.

And it isn't iu Denmark, either, The Telegram of Sept. as lias wide column leading editorial which exposes about the rottenest deal commercial circles, if true, thnt has come to our notice. The editorial reads iu part: As reading matter, figures are sometimes dry and uninteresting but not so those that can be rcud ut the garbage creamtory. They are ot pleading interest against the crime of burning food just to pre vent the market from 'breaking.' And as arguing the necessity for public market. "Since the eighth day of the present month, up to noon last Sat urday, the fruit uud produce com mission men of this city sent to the garbage crematory twenty-five mu three-uuartcr tons of fruit and veg etables. To be exact 50,750 pounds ot such food was burned as garbage in I'ortlaud during a period of i s days. " I he record at the garbage ere 1 T. uiuiory is a pumic record. 1 lie load is weighed when it goes into the ciematory, the wagon is weigh ed when it comes out. The exact net weight and the character of the oati is set down. There is no mistake about it. The commission men guard against a glutted market by hauling out the fruit and produce in their own wagons. This fact also be comes a mutter of public record. Anyone can read it who cares to go out to the garbage crematory. But so far as these items of burned fruit and produce are concerned Mr. Consumer, you do not need to go out there. The Telegrum submits them to you just us they apear on the record: "September 8, Pacific Fruit mid rroduce company, melons, 7570 pounds. "September 12, Pearson Page Co., oranges, 0300 ikmiihIs. "September 15, I'.icilic bruit ami rroduce company, melons 7570 pounds. "same day same company, more melons, 6250 pounds. "September 15, Pearson Page Co., melons, 3330 pounds. "same date, same company, more melons, 5730 pounds. "September 23, Bell cc Co., mel ons, 4470 pounds. "Incidental to all this, five tons of string beans. "We may naturally expect nil manner of excuses nnd explanations from the commission men for this wholesale burning of food; but the only explanation that explains is the combined and well-enforced jKilicy of keeping up the price. "String benus, for example, must be sold nt six to seven cents a pound or to the city garbage furnace with them. And so of melons, and so of tomatoes, and so of all manner of fruit and produce for which the consumer pays fancy prices. "f- Cnntuloupes were taken nut there in crates that had never been opened nud the fruit never unwrapped 150 crates iu one lot. Much of that fruit wus in first class condition. It was burned, because to put it on the market would low er the price and reduce the profits; uud that would never do. "The products of labor, of mon ey, and 01 the guts ot nature were destroyed that greed might serve its own despicable ends. You, Mr. Consumer, must pay the fancy price for the gratification of greed: and theu you must pay taxes to operate n garbage crematory where in the fruit and vegetables that you would be glad to get at a reasonable price are burned, "Do we need a municipal market iu Portland? Consider these facts. Think of the number of people iu this city who, because they could not afford to pay the price, have denied themselves the food that was seut to the crematory furnaces by the commission men. Consider how it might have been, and would have been ii the consumer and pro ducer had met each other in the public market place, and the desires of one were gratified, and the goods of the other sold on the basis of the natural market conditions, gov erned as a matter of fact and not as a matter of pretense, by the law of supply and demand! Think of these things Mr. Consumer, and then consider what action ought to be taken in the premises!" Another question naturally arises and that is: What report do these commission men make to the pro ducer who ships his products to them on a commission basis? We have a law to punish the man who wilfully burns his own dwelling. There ought to be some recourse against the mau or firm who delib erately hold either the produce they have bought or that intrusted to their hands for sale, until it is unfit for use, or even before that time cart it to the crematory to be burned in order to bull prices. The Rally day at the Christian Sun day school was a busy dny through out. There were 175 in the Sun tiny school nud an interesting little program wns given by the little ones.
