Newspaper Page TextIt THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL. PORTLAND. SUNDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 14. 1806. PflRTI ANfl IN I FAD new block signal system nu n.n mnmu PREVENTS SERIOUS WRECKS ui Dib mAKbin Steamers Coming to the Pacific Coast Head for Oregon Metropolis. SAN FRANCISCO IS SECOND ON THE LIST Meet of the Large Freighters Will Carry Away Lumber, White Four Com Here to Load Wheat for Europe One Brings Cement Thar are nort tramp steamers an route to Portland at the present time than to any other port on the Pacific coast, so that In point of shipping by steamer to foreign ports, the Oregon metropolis holds the lead, erea Ban Francisco falling behind. Figures com piled yesterday show that the total net register tonnage of all foreign steamers bound for Portland, San Francisco snd Pugat Sound porta, la 69.916, of which 6.il I tons are to the credit of Port-' land, 4.97 to San Francisco and 18,111 to the several Puget Sound ports com bined. Thus It will be seen that Port land leada by a good substantial margin. Most of the tramp steamers on the way to this port are under charter to load lumbar for the orient, four being under charter to load wheat for Europe. These are the British steamers Strath nalrn and Strathflllan, from San Fran cisco; the British steamer Imogen, from Antwerp, snd the Norwegian steamer Otta. from Vladivostok. The Strathfll lan left the Bay City Friday night, and la expected to arrive bars Monday or Tueadsy. The steamers now on ths list coming here to load lumber aggregate a total of 22,266 tons net register, but there Is a question of the British steam sr St rath more earning hers owing to her having been seriously damaged In collision off Hongkong, wherefore har tonnage haa not been Included In the figures given above, otherwise the total would be still greater. Other tramp steamers en route to load lumbar are the Crusader. Wandsworth, Apollo. Fulham and Vermont, all fly ing the British flag; the Jethou and Terje Viken. under Norwegian colors, and the German steamer Eva. All of these, excepfjgha Jethou, will coma In ballast for. the express purpose of car rying away the product of the sawmills hare. The Jethou brings a cargo of cement from the Belgian port, and waa chartered to load lumber several weeks ago. The British steamer Hasel Dollar la now In port ready to begin loading wheat for Europe, while three steamers have already been started for Europe this season laden to the hatches with grain from the big fields of the Colum- bta river basin. : ' . - V RODE ON WAVE'S CREST FOgj) tila of Bark r.a Vow d'Anvergae Captain P. La Bras, master of the f French bark I' Tour dTAuvergne, wss nearly loat overboard coming around ,th Born to Portland. He related the Eatery for the first time laat night, al- fthsragh Immediately upon the arrival of the vessel here the report of the sal's narrow escape from destruc tion In a gale off tha Horn waa given to the press. It wss about a day before the bark fall into the awful wlnda that sweep around the Cape and lash tha ocean into mountainous sees that a monster wpwwi raiuou mw v ihui waa swept S clean over her deck, submerging every - thing and crushing a lot of the frailer fixtures about the deck, that Captain Le Bras waa caught In the swirl of tha Block Signal System in Operation on the Blue Mountain Division of the O. R. ft N. (Special ninpitrb to The Jnarnsl.) Pendleton. Or., Oct. II. The accom panying Illustration is a roaliatle repro duction of the block signal system which Is now in operation on the O. R. A N. between Pendleton and Hunting ton, a distance of 176 miles, and this is the only place that It la being used in ths entire northwest This picture shows the two arms on each side of the track and the train la just entering. One Is used for east bound trains and on for tha west. One side of trie arm is rod and tha other la white. Whan tha rod aide Is up It means for the train to atop, and when the white aide la up H means that tha train la going tha other way and all la safe. From La Grande to Pendleton tha signal! are operated by an electric plant at Kernels, and from the other side of i urande to Huntington they are ope rated from a plant at Baker City. The blocks between the signals are from two to four miles long, and when tha train paases over tha signals It raises the arm by breaking the current. aad as long aa the train la in that block It remains elevated and the coming train can see that there is danger and do not dare go on. This system has already been tha means of preventing two serious wrecks, one the passenger wreck of a few weeks ago near Durkee When many Uvea war aaved, and tha other waa a freight wreck near Parry, which might have dona much damage. They are proving so successful that tha company la about to establlah the system all along lta lines. A crew la now In La Qrande placing, the equipments for telephones on trains and freight cabooses, which win mean a great dagl In caaa of accidents or wrecks that msy occur several miles from telegraph atatlona. By thla de vice a conductor on a train may commu nicate With the dispatcher's office at any tlma and from any point on this and of the O. R. N. A rod la used to connect with one of tha telegraph wlrea with which tha phone In tha dispatcher's office is also connected. $1,000 in Cash Prizes to be Given Away Absolutely Free!

Johnston's Big Brokerage Office Removed to a City Where People Actually Do Business With Cash, and Are Not Afraid to Take a Chance. When It comes right down to busi ness, and when It Is desired to do buslnaaa with business msn for cash, then It .Is quite the thing ta call on Portland. One of tha well-known wide awake citlsena of Seattle made thla dis covery a few weeks ago, and today tha big offices of F. H. Johnston, broker. Seattle, are found at 435-434 Fllednar building. Tenth and Washington, this city, and not tn the hot aamoaphere of the famously-Inflated city of Puget Eouno. Mr. Johnston Is selling shares In the" Bldwall Cold Motor, an Invention of Professor Benson Bldwall, a eontrlv- M that will doubtless revolutionise ths operation of railroad trains, be cause it will entirely supersede steam as motive power. Tha story of how this Is to be dona is too long to tell In a newspaper squib, but that result will oon be attained, and stock that now aella at SO aharea for $31 will soon be selling st more than four times that price. Professor Bldwall la the msn who Invented the trolley car system. the gearleaa motor, railway car tele phone system, the Btdwell cold motor and tha water electric generator. Hun dreds have amassed great wealth from Investing In his Inventions, and thla lataat one Is ssld to be the beat of all. It will make many parsons rleb.too Aa a venture Mr. Johnston Invested a small sum In exploiting thla revelation motive power In Portland, with the result thst he waa soon convinced that Portland knew a good thing when they road about It and had the cash to buy. For this reason this large business waa transferred to this city, and It has bean prosperous ever since. And It will prosper In the future, too. That Is the record of all big enterprises that corns hare ta find a home. F. W. Gillespie, 1810 Cliff St., Pittsburg, pa; Benjamin M. Poarae, Oxford. Chenango Co.. N. T.; W. F.
