According to announcement, Mr. Samuel
Boden, yesterday, tested his new patent
safety-valve for steam boilers. The trial
was made at point on the line OF the cid
Portland Railroad near Nineteenth Street
An opening sufficient to admit q medium
sized upright boiler was made in the en-
bankment and the boiler paced therein.
Steam was raised In the boiler, and IL was
