Wright's Immense Train of Ad vanes Tbrtmhers Arrived in Port land at 430 P. M. Last Friday. This is the only sjKJcial freight train that ever crowd the continent that bad a eriedal printed time card for the entire trip. The C. B. & Q. It. E. had tliia ! special time card printed before the de- part ure of the train from the East, and it i'. " .v.. the way through. There are more thresh ers on tliis single train than any firm in Portland has eve r yet ehipjied during an entire season, there being 72 thrcshera besides engines and horse-powers. It is learned from Mr, Wright that thia shipment is only a portion of the order that be has already placed with the Ad vance Thresher Company for this stason. To give some little idea of the iuiiortance of this shipment, it can be stated that if these threshers were strunz out one le hing the other they would reach a dis tance of t wol ve blocks. The train waa in charge of Mr. Clarence L. Wright, a and the former enjoys the dis tinction of making the first visit to the coast in the full enjoyment of a special train, he being t he only passenger on thia I train. Mr. C. L. Wridit exneets to nmkn bis home in the future on this coast. It is further learned from Mr. Wright that last summer he was short over thirty machines, and it was this that indue'! him to make this enormous shipment this veiij. He will make every endeavor to fill all orders received during the pres ent year, but he advises all parties who desires threshers to tend in their orders as early as possible. Mr. Wright Bays that the Advance Thresher is the onlv machine in the market that will ataud crowding up to its full capacity and not waste the grain, and as farmers are like all others of the times, the making every attempt to do everything in a hurry, they have found by careful trial that the Ad vance Thresher is the. best machine in the market to-day. The train was Btopped below the N. P. Mills and was photographed, and any of Mr. Wright's friends who wish a photo graph of the largest train of Threshers aver shipped west of the Kocky Mountains, and more threshers than ever hua luwn shipped in any one train bv nv firm .... eept the Advance Thresher Company, they can get it by applying in person or i y letter, jvir. Wnght informs us that the greater portion of the machines on this tram are already sold. Jl ulH0 saya that there is no machine in A merica that can equal the Advance for fast work and and saving grain. Mr. Wright's ware room and office is at the foot of Morrison street, and ho will take pleasure in ex plaining the merits of the Advance Thresher to all who may Ik- interested. Please mention this paper.
