comfort of our citizens ns to the
commercial circle of St. Johns.
The Review reporter dropped in

met several surprises, also Mr. Hugh

We started at the blast furnace,
because there Is where the "pig

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

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

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

join the other parts iu the mounting

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

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

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

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

it could be released. After much
difficulty the other three horses
were taken from their perilous po

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
