Wataon'g Patent Excarator, '
An excarator capable . of doing the
work of 70 men in. 10 hours has been
perfected ' by William Watson of the
of I Watson Excavator company, a Portland
corporation. After IS years of eiperl-
land without sorting in the warehouse
i t Burlington, . out wnicn w v
1 direct to the United Railways company;
freight .depot, inPorOand, .. tonnage, of
that character will be loaded onto plat
i forma In the hold of the ship and be
taken wltn tne monorau
! the cars which will be provided with
hatches, and the entire load depoalted
into the. car without unloading it Tha
same system wiU be used In Portland
for unloading, and the systefflof sort
ing the freight will be used at the Port
land city warehouse. The platforms
will handle, approximate, 8000 pounds
of freight at a time. .
la discharging ballast from the ships,
instead of it being done aa at present
requiring a Jarge crew of men in the
ship's hold, filling bucketa which are
hoisted to the dock and again carried
and dumped, the monorail traveller,
with a special tvpe of. grab-buckets,
will automatically run to the hold of
the ship and will take three cubio yards
It makes no difference whether the
"ballast is crushed rock, sand or , gravel,
it will convey It at a speed of 460 feet
er minute to the storage bins and
unkera, which will be operated for
this purpose, and automatically dump ,
In It nrnner bin. With
thie especially provided monorail
traveller and grab-bucket a ship can
discharge ballast with a comparatively
few men and In less than half the time
required for doing this work here on the
river.
The Portland-Burlington Warehouse
and Pock company Is the name of the
company which will handle and operate
the new dock and warehouse. The or
ganizers and principal owners of the
company are rfaurice Thwnsen. one of
-the owners of the Chamber of Com
merce In this city and a large stock
holder in the United Railways ; Herman
Wittenberg and John H. Bullock of this
city. Plans of the proposed improve
ment have been completed, and as soon
as contracts can be let actual con
struction work will begin.
Change School District Line.
(Rpwlal DUpitcb to The Journal.)
Albany, Oct . The county court had
a lively session this afternoon when a
number of residents of the Plalnview
and Sandrldge school districts were
present to oppose the change of the
present boundary lines. Much argument
was gone through, which resulted in the
court authorising County School Super
intendent Jackson to post notices con
the DroDOsed change. Final
hearing will take place on October
and . four laborers, . the excavator can
take out 66 cubic yards of dirt at a
cost of 2, this amount Includes cost
of labor and ' incidental running ex-
Eenses. The same amount excavated or
and lalSor, basing the estimate on 81
cents per yard, would -cost a contractor
$173 a day and it would be necessary
to employ 69 men at 12.60.
The company, which will make its
home in Portland, where It is expeoted
to start conatructlon of 20 machinea at
once,' was Incorporated recently with a
capital stock of 120,000. The officers
of the company are William Watson,
president. and W. J. Curtia, secretary.

AVALANCHE OF BOOKS NEARLY
BURIES COURT REPORTER IN VAULT
Alton Rorera, one of the official
court reporters at the courthouse, had
thlnra cominr his war late Friday aft
ernoon. . It happened In the vault in
the county clerk's office, and the
t Mnft-s referred to were lfl pound rec
ord books that came piling; down by
the hundreds from a bis filing; ease.
Rogers had occasion to look sp a
record book that chaacea to be near
the top of Che high case, which ex.
teiu)s above the vault ' balcony. After
climbing to the top of the ladder pro.
Tided for such occasions he found his
reach still short, and he stepped upon
one of the big; books In the case to
boost himself - higher. The big case
tipped with his weighty and in a mo
ment there via an avalanche of books
mm .Via .. w M . la a f UA.
Rogers is not certain bow he escaped Ibullder J. H. Clelend;
ftujuij. nm jumped .no in B'rra way
came clear of the big slide. The filing
case lodged against the balcony of the
vault, or It would have crushed Rogers
beneath It. As It was the books were
puea in a nopejess beap on the floor,
and last night only a few of them had
been redistributed to the shelves.
