"What are these printing rollers com posed of. then?" some one will ask. The printing fraternity in general would rejoice if The Journal would make correct reply to that interrogatory. And The Journal would be pleased to do so if it cbuld. "But there's the rub." aa Mr. Shakespeare wrote. The Journal It self don't know that is, it don't know repent of his language and In eoual eloquence assure the present bounding woria tnat it is full of newneas--chock full of It glittering with newness boiling over with that very necessary commoaity. Only a few year ago a roller-maklnc outfit consisted of a cheap cast Iron mould, a couple of tin palls, one inside the other the same aa the present small fry glue pots. The composition was placed in the Inner pall, hot water In the outer one, and the glue, glycerine ana molasses, previously formed into cakes like maple augar, were melted to the consistency of "blackstrap," poured Into the well-greased mould, and next day, or when It had cooled, was forced out, and the roller considered ready for use. Today the glue Is melted by steam, the added ingredients, whatever they are, mixed up with It by machinery, and from the composition kettle forced by compressed air Into the big patent roller moulds, cooled by cold water forced around the moulds by more machinery, ine rouers urop out or tneir own ac cord and there yoti are. To bo more explicit: The other day a Journal represen tative dropped into the roller-making de partment of the American Type Foun-1 dera company In this city, and there had the pleasure of an agreeable - and In structlve conversation with 11. W. Mc Namara, In charge of that division of the great concern. Mr. McKamara is a young man, formerly of Chicago, where he became skilled in, the pursuit in which he is now engaged. He is an affable, fluent talker and very enthusias tic wher relating the virtues of the ex tensive roller-making plant over which he presides. Pictures of the plant are shown herewith, ana these portray Its mechanism so completely that It Is easy to understand from them the manner of Its operation. The cost of Its Installa tion was about $15,000, and of this Mr. McNamara said: . It is through the untiring efforts, energy and persistency of purpose of John S. Plnney. manager of the Port land branch of the American Type Foun ders company, that this large plant Is here In Portland. There Is no other like It on this coast. San Francisco Is. of course, the largest city of the ex treme West, but that city has no roller- making plant at all comparable with this. In fact, so far as the manufacture of printing press rollers is concerned, the "City Is a farmer town as com pared with Portland." Mr. McKamara thereupon explained the process by which he, with this mod ern outfit, produced these perfection rollers with a rapidity astounding to those of us accustomed to spend the better part of half a day in the indus trious effort to turn out a single one. .The steam cooking kettle first receive f ; if i "Ml H : - J it: -Vv PERFECT ADJUSTMENT PERMANENT ALIGNMENT EASE AND ACCURACY OF ACTION BEAUTY OF CHARACTERS AND DURABILITY THE YOST WRITING MACHINE COMPANY 230 Stark Street PORTLAND, OR.

Yet this great printing press would be as useless to Its owners as a rifle without Its ammunition, were It not for the rollers that deliver the Ink and spread it upon the faces of the types. The averago person imagines them made of rubber, yet a rubber roller would be of no more account upon a printing pres than a presidential message upon the ingredients of which the modern roller is composed. A few years ago roller composition was. made of a cer tain per cent of glue, a quantity of mo lasses and a part of glycerine. But the genius of the enterprising nabber of the dollars of the multitude that own printing presses and purchase rollers discovered improved Ingredients for rol ler composition, and if the talented Brother Herrlck were on earth today. and owned a modern print shop, he would XiXSiSm -ii lilllif muiimm rM ill L' l-t '. .. . an i irimiis ni?t i ml f-aZ. : :P :P?;,n,r.: TV;?--"' him. :L ii - : !;:&$,!. i f, ,S pei:r. fi-.M-lV.;..- DRINK THE OLD AND RENOWNED GAMBjH LAGER BEER f SEND ORDERS FOR BOTTLED BEER TO OFFICE, 793 WASHINGTON ST.

In this the stuff is heated and strained, and then by air pressure forced Into the roller moulds from the bot torn, not the top as was the case when rollers were made by hand. A heavy hose conveys the composition from the kettle to the moulds, and as the bore Is filled, after the mold has been heated, the air ascends to the surface so that there are no blisters In the rollers, as there formerly was. Indeed the roller comes out from the mould of Its own weight, aa smooth as a silver kntfe blade. By the "fraternity" the moulds are called gatllng guns, and they very much resemble these deadly Implements of war. In Its horizontal position the "bores are seen, and it may be inter estlng to know that these are cast with the sanie careful accuracy as the bore of the most perfect cannon in the world. The least deviation from "true" would render a roller not only useless, but dangerous, as, on fast presses, such as that upon which The Journal Is printed, the smallest atom of . Inac curacy would send the roller kiting, with the probable result that somebody would be badly Injured. Therefore these roller mouldn are actually "true aa steel." In fact they are bored the same as cannon, and except for the strength required, are about as expensive. It Is a revelation to one who has visited this important little factory for the first time to witness the wholesale manner in which things are done, and to understand the broad scope of terri tory covered by its business. This em braces not only Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana. British Columbia and California, but far away up into Alaska, and the company is now reaching out to Hawaii and China and Japan. Were it not for the accompanying I cuts, it would be almost impossible to convey any intelligent idea of what Is meant by a 115,000 printing press roller plant, when It is understood that in olden times a model outfit might be had at from 150 to $100. In Portland printers have no more thought of casting their own Inking rol lers. It would be a money losing prop osition, and the advantages of the Port land product are now pretty thoroughly established throughout the entire West ern . section of the United States and Canada. It is a new thing here., practically, but one that has Invoked upon Itself the blessing of nearly every press owner In all the tributary region. Mr. Plnney is to be congratulated upon his enterprise. He deserves the pleasant things that are said about him by the printer men of Portland and the West at large. ... HENRY WEINHARD Vropttotos of tks CITY BREWERY larreat an Most Complete .
