TOURIST PISES OREGON CM Prices in West Declared Much Lower Than Those Found in East miw pin IS BEING RUSHED The land of the wooden nut meg 1nd the hatchet-faced Yan kee and the brass clocks that have made Oid Man Time himself fam ous, sent two appreciative visitors to Salem Saturday, m the persons of R.l F. Tobin and D. H. Kelly, of Derby. Connecticut. Mr. Kelly is the original boasting booster for his home state." said his friend v Tobin, "and he hasn't seen anything west of the Mississippi that ht won't claim to be able to dupli cate back home. But I'll say two thing that one doesn't find back there: The universal, unfailing courtesy of people whom you meet and ask the way, and the prices of food. Back through New England, the standard price for a party of four traveling cross country as we are, requiring two rooms, with bath, and breakfast and luncheon, is about $30. We travel out here for oh, 'way lots less. We get here, at the Multnomah in Port land, rnd all along this western road, meals for 75 cents that equal the best one can get for $2 m Xew York. This difference in the cost of living is indeed a grate ful surprise." The gentlemen shipped their car io Denver, to save time for the transcontinental tour; though they will drive all the way back, over the Santa Fe trail. Mr. To bin m superintendent of the schools at Ansonia, a ctty of about 35,000. Mr. Kelly says the brass workers of Ansonia practically won the war, bv making st many brass things that War God Mars had to have; that he conceded that the 35,000 stalwart men of Oregon may have helped a bit in rqaking lleinic squeal. They picked up a friend, J. J. Driscoll. at Chicago, and the three have traveled from Denver. They took in Yellowstone National park, but passed up the Glacier park be cause It took too long. They do not camp, at allj so they travel light. In a street car the other day a man and his wife saw a cockroach on the floor. "I never see one of those things,'? said the man "with out wondering where it cane from." "And I never see one." said hi wife, "without wondering whre it is going." Youngstown Tele gram.

The "hog" fuel will be run direct from cars on the S. P. spur track by a conveyor system that eliminates all human touch; they will use several carloads a day. . The oil system is in the nature of an auxiliary fuel supply, though it can be used to the full j capacity of the boilers. ""Usually, however, it will be held in readi ness, to put into instant action in case of a sudden demand for ex tra power, as in case the power lines from the hydraulic stations on the Willamette or Clackamas rivers should fail. . The oil burners can be made to greatly increase the normal steam production, .as the boilers stand, a tremendous overload, and have been tested to more than 1 twice their normal rated capac ity of 3000 horse power. There will be no unsightly, un sanitary smokestack for the new ' plant, to scatter death and de struction and soot among the an guished housewives who put out their weekly wash in the vicin ity. Instead, there will be a huge cinder cone" 23 feet in diame ter, with a huge suction fan 12 feet in diameter and driven by a 150-horse power motor to draw up the products of combustion from the furnaces, to settle them in the cinder cone for complete burning. The "hog" fuel is be-j lieved to be better adapted to this anti-smoke treatment than solid fuels; it is burned more com pletely, and there is less residue to pas3 off into the air. The cin der cone will finally incinerate the last bit of carbon black, and the smoke will be a thing of the past.
