JEDNESDAY EVENING. MARCH 23. 1910. END BROKEN ON Th best looking fender that ha been en In Portland yet Is that of the American Fender Company, F. A. Nel on, vice-president of the company, lourneyed out'ft-om Brooklyn to demon atrate the device, which lie aaya la In ucceeaful uae In Brooklyn, Cleveland Eu Claire, Wla., and a number of other Cit1'. Unfortunately the fender came In con tact with a projection on He way to the testln track at Twenty-alxth and Up- hur streets yesterday and waa broken Another fonder of the same type will be shipped over from 8eattle this week and It will be given a trial next Tues day afternoon. Mayor Simon. Councllmen Lombard, Concannon. Rushlight. Bcldlng, Kubll, Kills and Wallace, and a large number of Interested speotators were present at the demonstration trials. . Mr. Nelson brought th pieces of Ms fend-r down anyway, an.d explained the, Principle on which 'it Is supposed tc work. The fender consists of a flat Iron-framed wire screen, which project? forward, parallel to and a few Inches above the rails, and another screen at rlrht angles to this and parallel to the front of the car. An automatic tripper projects beyond the fender, and when this strikes an object the projecting part of the fender Is thrown down on the rails and held there with a 700 pound pressure from the compressed air tank on the car. This action, of the fender prevents the object struck from being thrown under the wheels. Those who saw the fender were much Impressed with Its possibilities and re gret was expressed by many that the accident should have happened at such an Inopportune time. The only fender actually tried yes terday afternoon was that of the Eu gene Fender company, of Eugene, Or. This Is a simple device, which operated very satisfactorily when standing or Ing dummies were struck, but war ineffective for objects in a reclining position. DAVENPORT TALKS ON FINE ARABIAN HORSES The story of the noble horse, man's most faithful friend, has a new mean ing to an Oregonlan after he listens to Homer Davenport's "Travels In Arabia." The story of a poor boy's drram of the prfert Arabian horse, of a life-long purpose to go to the desert beyond the plain where the rhrlst taught the brotherhood of man, of the ultimate success of the tremendous undertaking, Is Interlined In the narrative of travel In a land among the strangest of strange pecmle. Davenport's love for the horse over shadows bis descriptive powers, but adds Interest to a 'tale full of pathos snd human Interest. Arabian Horse Pinest. Strange, Indeed, Is the fact that far out In the Arabian desert, with its scorching heat, its desolate barrenness Its wild tribes of ehony-hued men. are to be found the finest horses In all the world. Yet, when one considers that for thousands of years the Ara btans have studied the horse as no other people have. It Is not to be con sidered unlikely. The commercial spirit has not attacked the wild tribes on the Arabian desert. Homer Davenport tells the story of the long Journey to Interior Arabia, of the trials of life among people 1000 years behind American civilization, In an Interesting manner. Illustrating the principal features with views taken where . the camera la unknown and where the religious ban is placed on pictures. The pictures of the great tent settlements among the nomadic tribes have Intense Interest for the tudent of human progress. Little Known of Interior. Interior Arabia is a country of which but little Is known because travelers fear the tortures of the climate snd jk the Isolation of the desert. The country comprises over 1,000,000 square miles I In arM, with no forests and In many places no vegetation to speak of. Cof fee, aloes, gum arable and myrrh are the principal exports. Ostriches and ga zelles range in large numbers on the open country. Camels are as common In ports of Arabia as horses are In Oregon, and sell for less money. In order that high school students may have opportunity to hear Mr. Da venport's lecture It will be repeated Friday night at the White Temple, to which school children will be admitted for 26c each. BRITISH COLUMBIA TO STOP LOG EXPORTING (United Press Leued Wire.) Victoria, B. C, March 23. Arrange ments are being perfected by the at torney general's department for a much more stringent and . effective enforce ment of the law prohibiting the export of unmanufactured British Columbia, logs. In the past steamers found with booms In tow suspected of being bound for a foreign port, have merely given bonds and escaped, it being Impossible as a general thing for Identification to fo'low the logs, and convictions as a rule being attended with the utmost dif ficulty. Hereafter the government pro poses to accept no more bonds, but to seize both steamer and tow where In fraction of the law can.be brought home, selling both logs and vessel as equally guilty principals.
