Little Journeys to the Home of Oregon Industries An establishment that has 125 peo ple on the payroll, pays out $50,000 a year In wages, and can turn out a ful ly equipped sawmill to cut 50,000 to 60,000 feet of lumber a day, and turn eft such a sawmill ready to operate ! every 60 (lays, is entitled to be called a manufacturer of factories. That ls what the Portland Iron Works Is and f can do and has been doing for many year" This Industry was founded at Alblna In 1882, and the year following was removed to Its present location at Fourteenth and Northrup streets. First It occupied a frame building which burned in 1895, and was re- ( built In brick. The main shops are t 80 by 100 two-story. The foundry is f.O by 100 feet, with sheds and ware-1 house attached. . This plant is of great Interest be cause lumbering Is the greatest In dustry of Oregon, and the Information that all kinds of sawmills, and saw mill machinery and machinery .repairs can be supplied more .quickly from this plant than from any other source is surely an Important matter. The . Advantage of getting a plant made near to the supply of raw material 1b too apparent to require argument. Anyone wishing to establish, en large or rebuild a sawmill, will find at the Portland Iron Works a compe tent consulting engineer, a practical and experienced man to plan the ar rangements and give scientific infor mation about the kind of machinery suitable for the lumbmer to be cut. Besides skilled draughtsmen this fac tory keeps a competent engineer to plan all general machinery, castings and machine work. The Portland Iron Works Is the largest and best equipped plant of the kind on the Pacific coast. The foun dry can turn out a ten ton casting. The shops are rigged with a boring mill that will turn an eighteen-foot pulley with a 6-foot belt fact. There are an hundred lathes and planers of various kinds, and especial grinding and corrugating flouring mill rolls. The Introduction of cheap electric power has changed many features of this Industry, as the use of Individual motors is extending, and doing away with about fifty per cent of the over head load of shafting and pulleys for merly used In transmitting and apply ing power. With all the demands of the times the Portland Iron Works keeps pace for the high class men employed In every department make it a great conscious thinking machine. This Is necessary because a modern Iron and steel plant has to do thinking for a great many different Industries and their success depends on good brain work right here at the start of the equipment What can be turned out here? What cannot be, would be more appropriate to ask? Let us enumerate: Sawmills and sawmill machinery, special saw mill machines, band and circular saws, gang saws and edgers, gang edgers, twin edgers and steam feeds, lumber trimmers and lath mills, large timber planers and all-steel carriages. H. T. Clarke, president and general manager of the Portland Iron Works, started at the bottom, worked six years at the lathe, and then took gen eral management He Is a man who knows the value of materials and how to put them together. He Is a prom inent man in the metal trades organiz ation. Few men In the Northwest un derstand, the economical generation of power, the construction of steam en gines and the transmission of power better than he does, or can better give to other the benefits of his knowledge. THE BACTERIAL CONTAMI NATION OF BREAD For a practically universal article of diet, bread seems to have received lit tle attention from bacteriologists. Us ually handled by several persons, of ten exposed to flies and Btreet dust, sometimes tossed about under very uncleanly conditions, baker's bread Is obviously liable to pick up dangerous bacterial contamination. It it is han dled by a typhoid carrier It Is possible for typhoid bacilli to be smeared on the outside of the loaf, and since bread as a rule Is eaten without heat ing and very soon after It reaches the consumer, It may readily be the means of conveying Infection. Lumsden, of the U. S. public health and marine hospital service has traced cases of typhoid fever in the govern ment hospital for the Insane at Wash ington, D. C, to the handling of bread by an attendaut who had been caring for a typhoid patient at his home. Hinton has recently described a simi lar occurrence In the Elgin state hos pital where seven cases of typhoid fever developed within a few months. These were all In patients using the general dining room for females. On Investigation it was found that a fe male attendant whose duty It was to slice all the bread used in. this dining room' had had typhoid fever three years previously and was a carrier, discharging typhoid bacilli. On De cember 20 this attendant was trans ferred to another department where she did not handle uncooked food, and no further cases of typhoid fever oc curred. . It is rarely possible to determine with such precision as In the caBes cited the articles of uncooked food that probably served as the vehicle of Infection, and we can hardly doubt that contaminated bread Is responsi ble for scattered cases of typhoid more frequently than Is recognized. For obvious reasons evidence Is more dif ficult to secure than In the case of milk and water. Kayser In his observ ations on typhoid fever In Strasburg found a particularly high typhoid mor tality among bakers, possibly due to their exposure to milk Infection. In a recent number of The Jour nal of the American Medical Associa tion appears a paper on.the bacterial contamination of bread which Is a timely contribution. The writer shows that under some conditions the smear ing of loaves of bread may be very considerable, reaching in the case of unwrapped loaves kept under unclean ly conditions hundreds of thousands of germs. Out of a hundred loaves pur chased from as many different shops In the city of Chicago, 14 per cent were each coated with more than ten thousand bacteria. As might be ex pected, loaves obtained from clonn shops, where all the surroundings are favorable, have not nearly so many germs clinging to them as those kept under generally dirty conditions. The I difference between the bacterial coat ing of wrapped and unwrapped bread Is particularly suggestive. In no case did the bacterial contamination of wrapped bread reach a high figure. On the other hand, more than half of the unwrapped loaves (62 per cent) were coated with over a thousand bac teria. Eleven wrapped loaves obtain ed from clean shops bore on the aver age only 371 bacteria each. It Is said to be difficult to obtain a sole for wrapped loaves In certain city districts, where the- prospective purchasers Insist on testing the qual ity of the bread by pinching the loaf with thumb and finger! Unpleasant 'possibilities are suggested by such facts. Is It not worth while to take some pains to prevent the contamina tion of bread? Journal American Medical Association.

Here you can find the gay life of the summer resort ' with all its attractions and excitement, or if you wish rest and quiet, you can find a secluded spot where the only sound to break the stillness will be the cry of a seagull and the distant beating of the surf. There are the mountains for the man who wishes hunting, trou t streams for the lover of the fly and the deep sea fishing for the person who craves a little, more dangerous sport. Ac commodations can be had of every description, hotels, cottages and tents. The Southern Pacific Railroad furnishes f irst-clasH service from all points, and the best wagon roads to the Coast come into Newport.

ADVANTAGES AS A HOME CITY To the man who wishes to make a permanent home and settle with his family, Newport offers many advantages. There are openings here for a number of different lines of business. It is an ideal country for farming and dairying, and there is a ready demand for all produce raised. From a social standpoint Newport has all the advantages of a larger city. It owns its water system, which supplies the city with pure mountain water. A modern electric light plant furnishes electricity at a moderate cost. It has fine schools and churches. Its merchants are enterprising and carry the best of stocks. It has two news papers, modern hotel accommodations and banking facilities. In fact Newnort as a city is one of the most enterprising and best little places in Oregon.
