It lias been said that Dante, when
lie grasped the idea of his "Inferno"
the writing of which, more than nil
his other works, made his name im
mortal, did so after spending n day
in an immense foundry in Genoa,
and white Ids mind was excited
from an indulgence in "hasheesh."
He that as it may, in otir day we
may not know intimately the habits
of the illustrious Ituiian poet and
whether or not his inspiration came
through the blast furnace, acceler
ated by the stimulus ot the Arabian
substitute for the "dope" used by
our modem "dope fiends;" but this
is apparent, that the verse of Dante
mentioned above will live among
the c assies as longns human beings
. . . ..
ex st 11 oaii tuts earth, and the op
eration of the modern foundry is n
very apt illustration of the region
visited by his fertile imagination,
where Pluto reigned.
The ubiquitous reporter, Dante
like, metndered down the hill, not
like Dante, midst rocks nud fens,
teoplcd with horrid s!iues and
noisesomc smells that made the
flesh to creep uud the .soul to shriv
el in its narrow house, but down
the prettiest street in the city, Phil
adelphia, nu everlasting monument
to the honor of the city's founder,
and rightly named to represent the
moving sentiment of that good
old uuti. The air was sweet nud
pure.fre.sh as that of u spring morn
ing timid our own fir-clud hills an
other instance where we held one
over Dante. Hut nt the foot of the
hill, and a little to the right, he en
tered a dark, forbidding place,
full 1
of horrid sounds its the
clashing of 1
nrtnor when giants fight, He look- j
cd over the entrance for the iu-j
serlptlon Dante records: "Abandon;
hope nil ye who enter here," but it !
wasn't there and his courage arose !
its he passed the somber portals, '
leaving the door njar to facilitate n
quick get -u way should the exigcii
cies require. Once Inside, however,
uud finding none presenting an ug

nature of the pencil pusher asserted
itself and he boldly ieuetratcd to

have heard how the devil assuming ,

the uppcaratice ot an angel 01 light,
tempts mortals to sin. It must
have been one of these auspicious
moments with our modern Pluto,
ulins Mr. Larrowe, secretary ami
manager of the Peninsula Iron
Works, for he met the man of the
quill with a smile thnt wouldn't
rub off and a friendly nod, despite
the fuct that he had butted in while
Pluto (that's shorter thun his mod-
ern name) was busily engaged in
writing the nt-weeKiy pay chucks, ,
when naturally he would least like
to be disturbed. Nothing abashed
by the incongruity of the clrcum
stances, the man of news and other
.sorrows made known his griefs,
uud his Plutonic majesty dropped
his pen and gave him safe conduct
throughout his domain.
The fust place visited was the
easting room where about a dozen
men were busily engaged carrying
melted metal and pouring into the
molds. This comes from the fur
nace iu a .stream of the consistency
of good rich cream and with a
smooth, soft, velvety apjearance
that, but for the intense heat, would
tempt you to smooth out its surface
with your hand to test its texture,
but if you should try it once there
would be no second temptation,
for a mere touch of the molten
mass would burn to the bone.
There were all kinds of castings,
from little wheels of a size a lady
might use for a paper weight upon
her writing desk, to great, heavy
rolls that would make a load for a
husky man. The floor of the room
was covered with receptacles they
call flasks, but which to a white
utan has the appearance of boxes of
all sizes and shapes filled with sand,
and these contain the molds, The
term "white man" is used ad vis
edly, because the busy workers in
this industrial inferno amid the
smoke and dust, become as black
as the typical imps of Satan and
in the wierd light given off by the
glowiug mass, their activity, their
blackened hands, arms and faces,
covered with perspiration, needs
but the boras, the cloven foot, the
sinuous spiked tail, to become very
realistic imps of the abode of the
enemy of mankind. But they are
a jolly lot of imps, for with all the
straining muscles under the heavy
loads, theirs are steady nerves and
clear heads, and the quiet joke, or
witty quib and mirthful chuckle
rippled through it all, proving be
yond a doubt there was nothing
sinister about them save the marks
of honest toil, the most honorable
badge a man may wear in this or
auy other country.
From the casting room Mr. Plu
to took his self-imposed guest to
the machinery room, a most inter
esting place to the modern Dante,

Found at The Dalles
St. Johns runaway boys were
captured by the parents of Horsmaii
ami cowles live miles south of The
Dalles at a woodcutter's camp, where
they had just hired outtocut wood.
They were known to be Iu the vi
cinity of The Dalles, as Arthur
lorsmau, one of the three boys,
mailed n card home from there, and
n free use of the suburban telephone
did the rest. The boys were hav
tig n good time, with never a tho't
of home. They said they expected
to cut wood this winter and then
travel around the world on the
money. Ktba Cowles, it seems,
proposed the trip to Arthur Hors
maii, nnd they invited Ben Swan
to go with them, which he did.
They had five cents left out of the
$5 they started with. After walk
inc from the end of the Rose City
car line to Bridal Veil they rode in
box car to 1 he Dalles
Asked
he did
and his
why they left, Cowles said
- want to go to school
father insisted that he go, Hors
maii said he wanted to travel and
see the world, and Ben Swan gave
no particular reason. Mr. Cowles
and Mr. Horsman brought their
boys home, but left Swati in the
hands of Chief of Police McDonald,
of The Dalles, until his parents
could be heard from. It is thought
he will be allowed to return to his
woodcutting job. J. H. Cowles,
father of Klba Cowles, followed the
boys most of the way on foot and
freight trains, and was ouce locked
in a box car and nearly taken out
of the country before he was able
to attract the attention of the train

She managed to run into her near

fainted from the shock. A physi

dressed, but not until she had faint

Drove Golden Spike
James J, Hill helped to make
Oregon history the past week when
he drove the golden spike marking
the completion of the Oregon Trunk
Rarlway to Bend. That it will le
the final terminus of the line is not
exected, but the event was nota
ble because it celebrated the com.
ing of a new era in the interior, and
the railroad wlllbe the U'st developer
the country could have. "Go to
work and build up the country,
for the cities would starve to death
if it were not for the country," said
Mr. Hill at the spike driving. "Nu.
tions that have neglected the culti
vation of the soil have faded from
the face of the earth. There is no
reason why Central Oregon should
not produce enormous wealth. We
have a good deal of faith iu it. We
believe if this soil is proerly cared
for, if it is properly understood and
fair justice done to it, it will make
a happy home to thousands and
millions of people. I wish you all
Godspeed and every particle of
good luck and prosperity that can
come to you."
