Exhibits at the Portland Fair.
From the Portland Daily Bee.
JOHN BARRETT,

The Plumber and gas filter, OF NO. 43
First street, has probably gone to more
special expense to help the mechanical
exhibition at the Fair than any other
exhibitor. His grand showing of the
famous Hooker's Patent Direct Acting
Steam Pump, is the wonder and delight
of all visitors. These pumps are all
working, sending forth great quantities
of water with astonishing force, They
have no equal in simplicity Of all
working parts, ease of access for repairs,
durability, and strength. The proper
proportions and design Of all parts,
valves and passages both in the steam
and water cylinders, are points that con-
tribute towards the construction of an
efficient and durable pump. From the
severe tests that these pumps have been
subjected to, and the universal satisfac
,tion given to all purchasers, we feel JUS
titled in pronouncing them par excellence.
They are manufactured by w. 7. Garrett
of San Francisco. Mr.. Barrett is the
sole agent for this State forall the famous
manufactures of this establishment.
These pumps are of various sizes and for
various purposes. TIE regular boiler
feeder tank pump, brewers pump, and
mining pumps of various sizes. The
enormous No. 10 mining pump on exhi-
bitten is Is inch steam cylinder, II inch
water cylinder and "a inch stroke.
At the present time one Of these pumps
is in operation in Nevada mine, fore
ing 10000 gallons of water 800 feet
high every hour. ..
Nos. |, 5, 6 and 7 Of the same style
Of pump are on exhibition and working
every night. These pumps are in use
all over the Pacific Coast, and are ex-
tensiycly used by the O. s. N. Co. and
other river steamboat owners. They
will run faster or slower than any other
pump, will throw all kinds Of liquids,
hot or cold, clear or gritty, and contain
twenty to fifty per cent more Of metal
than any eastern pump of like capacity.
They received the first premium at the
Philadelphia Centennial Exposition.
They are made single, duplex or COM
pound.
Mr.. Barrett also has the combined
pump and boiler of all sizes and
prices to suit purchasers and places.
Many who have been using windmills
are substituting therefor these pumps.
Here is also on exhibition two fire
hydrants, Mr. w. I. CARROTS patent,
which are anti-freezing, having full
water way and so constructed that
the breaking of the hydrant above
ground close the valves and no
leakage is produced.
Here is also o Worthington duplex
steam pump, with capacity of 1900
gallons per hour-rthe style used by
the Portland Water Company for their
works here.
Also the Blake, ono OF the oldest and
best known pumps manufactured in the
United States extensively used in the
East. Mr.. Barrett is also sole agent for
the
FRIEDMAN PATENT INJECTOR,
Lifting and non-hfting. There is no
invention of modern times of so great
importance to persons using steam boil
ers as this ingenious device for keeping
water at the exact and proper level in
the boiler at all times. It never forgets
to fill the boiler, and is so simple that it
cannot get out Of order.
Mr.. Barrett carries the largest stock
Of plumbing and gas fitting goods of any
house on this Coast he has Just
opened and stocked new store at No.
% Ash street, with full line of gas
fixtures md marbleized iron gmantels,
tbs latte as handsome and costing only
one-fifth as much as marble. The imita-
ton porphyry mantel in the O. F. Cos
exhibit costs only $65, and is as hand
some as one costing $4,000 in one Of
the Mob Hill palaces.
Mr.. B. employs the best workmen,
and executes nothing but first class work.
Taken all together the exhibit is one of
the most worthy as well as the most ex-
pen siye in the Pavilion,
