Mardi Gras Carnval at Portland.
The great Mardi Gras Carnival
to take place in Portland, Oregon,
June 28th to July 9th, inclusive,
promises to be the most stirring
and magnificent celebration that
has ever occurred in the North
west perhaps the most brilliant
occurrence of its kind that has
yet been planned and carried out
on this Coast.
The enthusiasm of the various
towns who have mentioned in
their papers this wonderful Car
nival has made it sure that there
will be an immense attendance,
and the stupendous preparations
of the management will amply
justify everyone taking a trip to
Portland at this time.
To begin to enumerate the big
features is almost confusing. Of
course the fact that five of the
Nation's big battleships have
been ordered to Portland to stay
during the Carnival, is one great
attraction.
They will" be open for visitors
and dressed in gala dress. The
Spectacular Parade on the open
ing day will be the grandest af
fair beyond all imaginative eyes
to describe surpassing anything
you can imagine or express in
point of magnificence and spec
tacular display. The State Mili
tia, Uncle Sam's boys from Van
couver Barracks under General
Funston, all the Trade Organiza
tions, over thirty floats, visiting
organizations from far and near,
altogether making an attempt
at brilliancy never heretofore
dreamed of in Portland.
Again, the torchlight and fire
works celebration and parade on
the night of July 4th will be pos
itively the most, stunning thing
you have ever heard of. It will
pay anyone to come and see this
Mardi Gras and Carnival.
The railroads have all made
moderate rales from all points to
Portland and return with stop
over privileges for the Carnival,
and no one should leave them
selves out. of this joyous event.
They have promised celebrations
before that were well worth see
ing, but this will go far ahead of
anything we have ever had be
fore. The conditions are just
right. The appropriate organi
zations have gotten together.
This is the great year for the
northwestern country, anyway,
and altogether this Carnival has
an unbounded support.

CORVAUIS ICE WORKS.
A Thriving Industry How Ice is
Manufactured.
One of the foremost and most
flourishing industries in our rapidly-growing
ciiy is that of 'the
manufacture and sale of ice. Ice
is shipped from Corvallis to all
points westward on the C. & E.
railway and many points east
ward. It also ships . to Dallas,
Independence, Monmouth and
as far north W North Yamhill,
half way between here 'and Port
land. The heme trade of course
is the heaviest ot all; with the
picnics, . banquets, ' socials, ice
cream stands, saloons, .' hotels,
butcher shops and a score or
more of other Remands the plant
is kept running night and day to
supply orders. There is no time
Jot the year, in
fact when t the
plant is idle. At the present
time, Mr. Ek, the genial, whole
souled proprietor, who enjoys
the possession of one of the short
est of names, finds the limited
capacity of his plant so straining
under the burden ot supplying
the heavy trade that he may have
to enlarge before the summer is
over. '
The story of how steam is con
verted into -ice this hot weather
is a very, interesting one as well
as reassuring to us who are users
of ice, - because when the story is
io:d you will agree that there can
be nothing purer, than artificial
ice. '
The water is pumped frOm' a
well fifty fett deep, hermetically,
sealed and is clear and sparkjin'k
like the waters of a mountain
stream. This water is boiled and
converted into sttam The steam
passes through a cooler or con
denser and becomes water again
soft, velvety" sterilized ' water.
Phjsiciaus ot this city purchase
this water for medicinal purposes
as none purer can be found. The
process by which this purified
water is drawn frt m the air-tight
tank into the freezing tanks is a
precautionary one, no microbe or
germ or bug of any kind can get
into the water in any possible
way. The water t inks are sur
rounded by numberless iron
pipes, through which ammonia
gas is constantly being pumped.
This gas readily absorbs the heat
from the water and this extrac
tion of heat is what really causes
the water to freeze.
The gas which becomes heated
is kept constantly circulating
through a cooler or condenser re
ducing its temperatnre. It is
constantly absorbing heat from
the water and constantly losing
it in the condensor. The am
monia gas will not liquify and
freeze when the . water freezes as
it will stand a very much lower
temperature. If one were to visit
the ice works the hottest day in
summer he would find the am
monia pipes coated with about
an inch of snow. It requires a
pressure of 150 pounds of am
monia gas to the square inch upon
the inside of the pipes these hot
days to cause the water to freeze
solid. .In winter the weather is
cool -'and only 90 pounds is re
quired. When the temperature
of the water registers 32 degrees
the freezing point,' the ammonia
will be just a little lower. The
water tanks are partially sub
merged in a strong solution of
brine to keep them from freezing
to the pipes. Each tank con
tains about 100 pounds of ice.
When it is removed from the
freezing box warm water is
poured over its galvanized cov
ering and it slides out easily upon
the washing board.
Mr. Ek has lived in Corvallis
about three years and is one of
those men' you are always glad to
meet and with whom it is always
a pleasure to transact business.
Remember that with every 25 cents
worth of laundry work done at the
Steam Laundry you get a vote on the
heaatifal U S silk flag, in Nolan & Cal
lahan's window.
