Kind Used on Plale Glass Wagon Old and New Ways of Handling. From the New York Sun. Probably about as costly a sort of mattress as any Is one that Is made not to sleep on at all, but to spread on the long, broad table or platform of the wagons built for carrying plate glass. These mattresses, which are made of curled hair, are very thin, scarcely thick er than a comfort, ana must. De mauo with the greatest care to insure per fect uniformity of thlcKnesa. A lump anywhere would be likely to Dreaa tne plate glass resting upon It, and there would be still greater danger if the weight of two plates of glass was rested on the lump at once. A mattress for a plate glass wagon costs, according to size, rrom t'i to aia. In use the corners of smaller plates (tarried on It cut into the ticking cov ering ami sooner or later it has to lie made over. Simply to make over such a mattress costs from $20 to $25. On ttie table topped and mattress cov ered glass wagons the blgKest plates are carried with confidence and safety. The table is built to remain absolutely rigid and the thin but uniform mattress protects the plate from Jar. Before plate glass store fronts had come into common use, when the handling of a big plate was counted as a good deal more of a Job than It Is now, they use.l to carry a great pane of glass in a sort of frame, which was put on the wagon wltn the glass In it. At Its des tination this frame or support was worked carefully across the sidewalk to the store front, where the glass was die-I'.!g-d from it to be set; and tflto-t-thor the setting of a great plate of gia.s was then quite an undertaking. Now, with tho setting of such plates a common dally occurrence, and with icn ski'Iied In the handling of them. fVey simply carry a big plate out and I lay it on their mattress covered table topped wagon and carry It to where It Is to go, and there slide It off, to rest it for a moment on blocks on the side walk, and then they pick it up and carry It Jo tie window ffeitet. Then they run under the lower edge of the glass itfun-g Mraps, by which men standing Inside the window as well as men standing outside tan lift on It when the glass Is tut Into place In the win Progress Is being made In the un dertaking to build a railroad from Shanlko into the upper Deschutes rfver i country, The people of interior Crook county are working as one man in the harness to accomplish the result they aim at, and If work proceeds at the present rate they will have a road buili and in actual operation in time to move next fall's wheat crop. Farmers are signing subscriptions of money and labor to the cause, men with capital are putting what they can spare Into the fund, and no time Is being lost in completing all preliminary ar rangements for the construction of the line. It is proposed to build about 98 miles or road, from Bhanlko to Bend, and tap the region tributary to Frlne ville, Redmond, Madras, Lamonta and the Haystack countiy. The farmers are in earnest and de termlned to have- a transportation line that will relieve them from the pres ent burdensome method of hauling wheat and grain products by wagon over the long trail from the upper Deschutes to Shaniko, the terminus of the Columbia Southern railroad. This haul costs them 2-5 cents per bushel of grain delivered, and in addition a waste or valuable time in getting the (jraln to market when prices are favorable and quick delivery Is jjieslrable. It. Howard. supetlrrtendeht of the Deschutes Irrigation & Power com pany, was In Portland yesterday con ferring with officials af that com pany, who are deeply interested In the success of the project and are render ing valuable assistance.
