Oeora-e Martin, aged 19, yesterday af
ternoon. George, it seems, had been tormenting
women, passing along Sixth street near
Waahlnitton bv throwing torpedoes on
the sidewalk near their skirts. Tho tor
pedoes, the noise and all the ltle peb
bles. It seems, caused the women, nat
urally, all kinds of annoyance.
Policeman CraddOCK espied tfeorge
and his pranks. He watched him some
time. George was .as ousy as a nen
with chicks. He had lota of torpedoes.
And there were plenty of women.
Then, sip, George was landed in jail.

department officials at Washington,
Since the recommendation was made
by the Inspectors tho government offi
cials have been corresponding with the
railroad officials and practically all. of
the 'arrangements have been completed
for bettering -mall conditions along the
line of the new railroad.
The mall for the towns at 'Which the
north bank trains touch la now de

the Oregon aide of the river to those
towns near the river bank on the Wash

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.
Among tne men directly connected
with the railroad project are some of
Portland's substantial citizens as well
as leading Crook county business men.
The list of incorporators of the com-
any Includes Jesse Stearns, Fred S.
Itanley, A. F. Biles and others.
Rights of way are being rapidly ac
quired and within two weeks the com-
any. will oe reaay to Degin construc
