As to Logging Engines.
Portland, Or., Oct 10. To the Editor
of the Journal I have had IS years'
experience hauling logs on steep grades
and all kinds of locomotives, and I
have found the Shay engine the best
for steep grades, for they are equipped
with a 2S-ton steam brake that is
quicker and surer and safer than any
airbrake that ever was used. But no
brakes are safe ln the hands of an In
experienced man, and logging compa
nies cannot get first-class engineers
to race tne danger and rough living
on unskilled wages, as the most of
tnem ao. as on the day or this wreck
(that at Scappoose), it rained. Before
this the weather was dry, and the
brakes, adjusted for a good rail, but
on a rainr day. which caused a sIId
nery rail, his brakes were too tight,
and an experienced man would have
known better than to have climbed this
steen e-ra.de without adlustlna bis
brakes to suit the weather and rail
and then his emrine would not sIId
back down the hill, or, ln other words.
when tne Draices were applied they
would not iock tne wneeis ana mane a
sled out of the engine,) for when the
wheels are locked and .eliding It not
only ruins the wheels, but the engine
runs away. A great aeai couia De saia
if time and space oermltted. But some
companies do pay good wages and have
good engineers, but the majority do
not and for the benefit of those who
do not, all men should be competent

Madame Helena Modjeaka, the cele

Now it was not a particularly bril
liant thing to say, and It certainly
cannot be thought to be strikingly
original, not witty, nor wise.
It has been generally eonoeded that
the women of the exclusive social cir
cles either In America or elsewhero
lead the most Idle and vapid of llvs.
Their whole duty ie compassed In
eclipsing their acquaintances, ln dis
playing their husbands' wealth and in
adding to his prestige. When that is
accomplished, their duty ceases.
Many authors ln many lands have
taken this well-known fact for a theme
and bave written books about It Ber
nard shaw seee It and writes of it In
the United Kingdom: Maarten Maarten
takes a slam at the contentedly snob
bish set of The Hague and Berlin; and
our American authors are never so
happy as when exhibiting the follies of
the Idle rich to the rest of us. Pat
terson and Sinclair and London have
all recently taken a hand at the game.
But the surprising thing is that hav
ing said a perfect)- trite and self-evident
thing, Miss Barrymore should be
so eager to assure us that she didn't

where she pleases, and as s woman
with brains and ambitions, she should

It puts the poor newspaper woman in
who obtained the interview. When shu
seen her "notable and had succeeded
ln getting her to say something print
able, and something moreover whloh
had good news value, and when she
was feeling pretty well satisfied with
herself, to be called the unlimited and
conscience-less prevaricator that Miss
Barrymore'a contradiction of the In
terview makes her, is mighty hard on
the poor little newspaper woman.
And the moral Is that lf Miss Barry-
and since It bad gone It might as well
have stood.

THERE Is the fashion now of serv

These are left separate or crossed
to form lattice work. They look much
d&lntler for luncheon than the whole

First wash and peel half a dosen
large potatoes and let them lie in cold
water for a few minutes. Cut them
un into ribbons, round and round like
an apple and keep the strips of one
width.
Don't make them too thin, or they
will break. Fry them ln plenty of hot
fat until they are lightly browned.
