Br H. 8. Hareoart
This department of The Journal has
repeatedly called attention to the impor
tance of securing the main factory of
the Lambert Multiplus company for
Portland, but up to thla time not a single
atep haa been taken by any person ,or
body of persons looking to that end.
No one seems to care a continental
whether the Industry remains In Oregon
or Is enticed away to soma distant point.
where its beneficent influences will be
enjoyed by a strange people who have
had no part In its incubation, and yet
here la an. enterprise which, within a few
years, will be employing almost as many
workers as all our shipyards combined,
and will be a live Industry when the
saws and hammers and chisels and fur
naoes of the shipbuilders will be less
act Its.
A small city, 2500 miles distant from
Portland, had Its intellectual eyes opened
by two of its citizens who happened to
spend a few days here about a year ago,
and, as a result, the commercial club of
the town keenly Investigated the Lun
bert Multlplus proposition and. through
Us efforts, the first unit of a factory for
the use of the company is now building
on 40 acres of ground 'donated to It by
the Bast Peoria, I1L, business Interests.
In addition to the doAtlon of the build
ing sits, the business men of East Peoria
have subscribed for nearly $20,000 worth
of the corporation's capital stock and the
two men who accidentally discovered the
small Industry born In ForUaiva nave
been commissioned to go out Into neigh-
boring states to organise : sales depots
and to increase the stock suDscnpwons
probably $500,000 or fl.ooo.ow.
Is Portisad Bliss I
It la the Intention of the East Peortans
to cover the 40 acres of ground with
buildings suitable for manufacturing and
ttnrui and an additional tract on which
an option has been taken,: emwwang
naariv 100 acres, with homes for the
workers. To accomplish all this win re
suire the expenditure of several million
dollars, but even these estimates oo not
tun the Illinois enthusiasts. They read
ily discern the profits to ine community
whtoh will accrue from such Investment.
The Ooodyear company, for example, has
20,000 workers on Its payroll.
t .mKrt mmnanv were ' to employ naif
this number at $3 each per day, and they
should work $00 days or ins year. m
navrnil would amount to $9,000,000. near
ly every penny of which would be spent
to the town where earned.
Is Portland blind that its citizens can
not see the importance of holding this
factory here? Mr. Lambert, the inventor
of the tire which bears his name, was
K.m in -Portland. He earnestly desires
malt this cltv his home, .even as it.
i. h declares he will erect a -factory
here, though, unless assistance and en
couragement is offered, not of the ca
pacity of that In Illinois, It will prob
er.! emolov 600 workers, once it is in
full swing, but not 10;000 or more, as It
is sure to do in East Feona. our men
of money, however, were to rally to his
support, he 'would institute an industry
ht. would nermanentl employ thou
sands of men and women and live as
long as automobiles and miens are usea,
Other Oeod IsTestlon !
And, In addition to manufacturing au
tomobile and truck tires, a belt and har
ness unit would be added. Because his
tire is so Kood a business proposition.
little has been said of his two other In
ventions. One. a stretchless belt, is si
ready In use in a great number of fac
tories, and Is giving utmost satisfaction,
Because it does not stretch It never re
quires relacing to take up Its slack, and,
In conseauence. machinery "driven by
these belts never Is closed down for that
purpose. The endurance of the belting is
much, greater than that of either leather
or rubber, a fact amply proven in cases
In which tests have been made. The
market for this product is almost un
limited -and it will prove a source of
great profit to the company which manu
factures it.'
A leatherless harness Is another Lam
bert Invention. It i will cost probably
about half that of leather and will en
dure greater hardships, with a life double
that of the leather made kind. These
three Industries, combined in one, will
suffice to found a corporation here. If
the public sess fit to secure it, that will
constitute a permanent annual payroll
In Portland amounting to millions of dol
lars, and this money will circulate among
all classes.
Is Portland so stupidly dumb that Its
citizens will not put forth the necessary
exertion to secure the prise?

Relief for Seasick
Troopers Devised
Having; . experienced the distress of
seasickness himself. Robert I Ball, a
chemist. 395 Stark street Invented a tab
let which he declares la a cure for that
affliction, and having; read of the suf
ferings of soldiers crossing; the Atlantic,
on account of this harrowing; stomach
upheaval, has manufactured a lot of the
tablets and Is offering; them to all who
may desire to be fortified against the
annoyance. He has named the remedy
Neptune Anti-Nausea wafers and they
may be had at his place of business at
the above number. Mr. Ball says his
heart goes out to sufferers from seasick
ness, and he is glad to be able to assuage
their agonies. 1
Seasickness Is not caused by a de
ranged stomach," Mr. Ball declares, "but
by a loss of adjustment of the small
bones of the Inner ear, which control the
equilibrium of the body. When the deli
cate balance of these small bones is dls
turbed by the motion of the ship, or
from any cause whatever, the reflex
action upon the pneumogastric nerve
causes nausea and vomiting. When this
occurs one or two wafers will almost In
stantly dissipate the agony."
Ice Cream of Rice
And Milk Delicious
There really is something new in Ice
cream. It comes of the freesing of rice
and milk, as prepared by the Holly Milk
s Cereal company of this city, and the
first ice cream manufacturing concern
to put this delicious dish on the market
will have a wad of currency in sight.
The rice and milk is sold by grocers
steam cooked In sealed bans. It is ready
for the table without further prepara
tlon unless the consumer desires It hot.
For Ice cream the only thing necessary
to do is to place the milk and rice in the
freezer, spiced to suit the taste, and
proceed precisely the same as in the
ordinary manner. The rice kernels. It
will be found are completely disinte
grated by the freezing, and the product
is a luxury. It can be made in the
family freezer the same as the old-
fashioned ice cream. A can of the milk
and -rice costs 10 cents, and one can will
make two large dishes of cream.

Joseph, June 8. Bernard Le Mohn, ad

tauqua system, has called a meeting of
the Joseph committee to formulate Chau
tauqua plans. It Is expected that a big
auto parade from Joseph, through En

By H. S. Harcosrt,
Invented by William Tupper, and
wholly manufactured at 312 Second
street, this city, by Tupper & Starr,
may be seen an absolutely new Idea In
dishwashing machines, that device so
sincerely coveted by all who have this
service to perform. "It is a new idea,"
Mr. Tupper says, "because as cook in
many large hotels and high class res
taurants for many years. I saw the
necessity for something better than any
thing which ever had come to my notice.
Truth is, I never had seen the perfect
dishwasher, though scores had been op
erated where I measured their capacity
and effectiveness. : Many use a spray
for the purpose of washing, and I never
anything working on that line
whichf gave the user satisfaction. I
therefore, for a number of years, pon
dered over the subject of an improve
ment, and at last am confident I have
achieved the height of my ambition. I
got the Idea from watching the" churn
ing of the water by the propeller wheels
of ocean steamships. I saw ths agita
tion of the water they produced and, as
you can see, have applied this to the
operation of my dishwasher, and it
works to perfection."
Like Propeller Wheel
Imagine a galvanized iron water ves
sel four feet long, 21 inches wide and
about 20 Inches deep, partitioned cross
wise at the center. The first compart
ment contains a wire basket which holds
the articles to be Cleansed. The oham
ber In which the basket Is placed is filled
with hot water ana revolves. Facing
this thamber, on the end of shaft ex
actly like that ot a steamship, but of
course very small, is a facsimile of a
propeller wheel, which turns In the wa- I
ter as does that of a ship. This agita
tion, as the basket revolves, washes
everything within the compartment as
completely as could be done by hand,
and the machine may be operated by
either hand or by electricity. The
cleansing completed, the basket is
shifted to the second compartment for
rinsing and sterilization. The basket in
this revolves as does the first, and In a
few seconds may be lifted out and the
heat of the articles therein contained
very Quickly dries them.
Small One for Families
"The machine you are looking at," Mr.
Tupper remarked, "is too large and ex
pensive for family use. It would wash
the table dishes for 3000 to 4000 per
sons a day. If operated by hand it
would cost $15, and with electrical at
tachments, including motor, $225. It is
Intended for hotels, restaurants and
camps where a considerable number of
persons are employed. In these places
it would save the pay of a dishwasher,
and as it would sterilise everything, the
things it cleansed would be left In a
sanitary condition. It. would kill all
germs, thus protecting the health of the
people."
Mr. Starr says that they will soon be
making washers suitable for family use,
at a cost of "from $40 to $75, the latter
figure if operated by electricity. At
present only the larger sizes are being
turned out, and they are meeting with a
hearty reception at the hands of those
who have much tableware to cleanse.
Several of the large hotels have placed
orders for the washer, and as they are
Installed on ths satisfaction or no pay
condition, there appears no chance of
loss If the buyer should not be satisfied
after a trial.
Mr. Tupper ia a man of education, and
cook of the high priced kind. Mr,
Starr is an experienced business man,
with a manufacturing experience. The
gentlemen are looking forward to the
time when their product will have
achieved national fame and will be
widely advertised and sought for.
Increase in Size of
U. S. Army Planned
Washington, June 8. (U. P.) The
army general staff is working on plans
for the Increase of the nation's lighting
strength. Creation of more than 20 new
Infantry divisions Is contemplated, it
was learned Friday. This means addi
tion of about 700,000 to the army, ex
clusive of those called for special pur
poses. Ths new divisions will be added
to the regular r.rmy and to ths national
army.
It is likely that the regular cavalry
division will be disbanded and Its reg
iments scattered on Mexican border pa
trol, while 12 national army cavalry
reerlraents will serve dismounted.
The period of training haa neen short
ened. By March. 1919, It la estimated.
all except replacement units will have
been sent to the firing line.

By H. S. Harcosrt
For nearly three years this depart
ment of The Journal has been contlnu
ously working in the interest of the in
dustries of Portland and Oregon, and
in that time suitable factory sites, it
has been discovered, is one of the prob
lems of the city. There actually are
few, and the value of these often are
beyond the reach of the manufacturer
who would start on a modest scale.
However, through courtesy of Silas Jm
Jones, 672 Alberta street, the writer has
been shown about 14 miles of water
frontage which could be made the finest
location for manufacturing industries,
not only in Portland but the North Pa
cific coast.
The Columbia river, as is well known,
is separated from the city of Portland
by that navigable body of water known
as Columbia slough. This branches off
from the big stream near Troutdale,
where It Is fed by the Sandy river, and
returns to the Columbia about 14 miles
below. At all seasons there Is a free
flow of water through thia slough, at
present about 12 feet In depth. Fac
tory sites becoming a necessity and al
most as scarce as important moved
some prominent citizens of the north'
eastern part of Portland, about a year
ago, to investigate the possibilities of
converting the banks of the slough into
factory locations, with the result that
it was found not only feasible, but Its ac
complishment would probably more than
double the harbor area of the munlcl
pallty.
Barred From the Colombia
"The Columbia." explains Mr. Jones.
"is one of the great rivers of ths world,
but though It flows past the city of
Portland, In close proximity thereto, on
its way from the mountains to the sea,
it affords the city not a foot of harbor
space. The reason for this Is that the
channel of Columbia slough cuts the
river off from Portland. There are
several thousand acres of land lying
between the slough and the river, not
within the limits of the city of Port
land, and over which the city has no
control. Nor haa the state complete
control of the slough, though the har
bors commission may have some sort
of supervision over it.
"As a matter of fact it is tinder the
jurisdiction of the national government.
and It Is to this source that ths Al
berta, commercial club, and leading citi
zens of the northeastern part of the
city, have addressed themselves in' ths
hope of having the government take
cognisance of the value ot thla water
front, dredge the slough to the depth
of the river and thereby, at an expense
of not more than half a million dol
lars, add 14 miles of harbor line to the
shipping district. If the slough were
within the city limits it Is probable the
municipality would undertake this im
provement, but it is not, therefore we
have gone to headquarters with our
proposition.
Private Interest Active
"Quietly but earnestly private Inter
ests have been seeking government con
sent to ths closing of the slough, the
purpose being to reclaim a large tract of
ground for gardening uses. It has been
proposed to span the slough witn a
dam at each .end, pump out the water
and 'cultivate the drained land. We
people who have investigated this proj
ect look upon it with unfeigned dis
favor, and we are greatly- surprised
that all citizens of Portland are not up
In arms in opposition to It.
"It Is a question which interests every
home owner and every worker. It would
deprive Portland forever from bene- j
fitlng by the advantages the improve
ment would afford its harbor. It would
deprive the worker of the opportunity
of employment in ths factories which
would spring up In that section If ths
slough were dredged to ths depth of
the river, and it would decimate the
value ot every inch of property in the
town from that which would accrue to
it on account of this enlargement of the
shipping and factory district.
"It was only a few days ago that men
intending to establish a concrete ship
building plant in "Portland were forced
to locate elsewhere because a suitable
site was not obtainable. Had Columbia
slough been improved, aa is suggested,
it -would have been afforded a site ,on
either bank, and Its payroll forever be
secured for this community.
Mr. Jones cams to Portland from
San Francisco shortly after ths earth
quake. He ays he could aee a great
future for this city. It Is ths natural
supply depot for a large section of the
western states aa well aa ths Orient.
Its commerce is bound to expand with
leaps and bounds after ths war, and its
congested harbor facilities must be
broadened or it will suffer for lack of
room. Improvement of Columbia slough,
he asserts, is ths solution.
By H. 8. Harcosrt
i have Just returned from a trip
up ths valley as far as Eugene, saya
A- G. Clark, manager of the Horn
Industry league, "and have had many
interesting experiences. My principal
mission was to attend the state jew
elers convention at Salem, which I
addressed, but having a little time at
my disposal concluded to go on to
Eugene for a brief survey of ths In
dustrial situation. While there I haa
a pleasant little visit with ths county
court and one of the commissioner
These gentlemen received me most cor
diallv. and were interested in my sug
gestion that public officers wouia serve
their constituents best II in awarding
contracts for public improvements or in
the Durchase of supplies for their city
county and stats institutions, tney
would steadfastly stick to the proaucts
of the state.
"The rentlemen coincided with me
that It Is not good business to sena
our money to other markets for tha
Durchass of merchandlss or articles
such as ars manufactured and sold
by our own people, particularly when
our home products ars as reasonable
in Dries and of equal value.
"When reminded, however, that the
Portland cement being used In ths con
struotlon of an addition to their own
court house cams from California, they
explained that ths contract was let
to Salem contractors, minus stipula
tion that Oregon cement be used, and
for some reason ths Salem people
bought their cement from a California
cement works. It wss purely thought
lessness on their part that such re
qulrement was omitted, and they will
see to It hereafter that the mistake
will not be repeated.'
Albany Factories Bsiyi
Returning, Mr. Clark stopped over In
Albany. "There are a number of pre
tentious factories in Albany,' Mr.
Clark reports. "I found R. E. Bristow,
former manager of the Carman Manu
facturing company In Portland, In Al
bany busy manufacturing dining room,
kitchen and library furniture. He Is
doing a fine business and Is pros
perlng.
"The Far West Manufacturing com
pany has 70 to 80 people working for
It. manufacturing orchard, step, win
dow, extension, carpenter, farm and
house ladders of many kinds. Also
several types of wheelbarrows, a dozen
kinds of Oregon cedar boxes, shirt'
waist boxes and muff boxes. Ths
managers say they are selling and ship
ping their products to all adjoining
coast states, but for some inscrutable
reason they have been unable to sell
a dollar's worth ot anything In Port
land. The largest department stores
In Seattle, Sacramento. San Francisco,
Los Angeles, Salt Lake City and in
other towns buy from them, but Port
land's doors are closed and locked
against them. They cannot understand
the reason. Their products are first
class. No fault is found with them,
nor their prices, but the buyers declare
that 'We have other arrangements.'
California' Beeeptloa
"In Salem I discovered that Callfor
nlans have been In the habit hereto
fore, and ars arranging this year, so
can Oregon cherries and other fruits
and label them as grown In Califor
nia. I solemnly protest against this
deception. It isn't right, and it seem
to me that If there is one thing our
