rHnxsmEa TRAIN ARRIvED.
z. T. wright's Immense Train OF Ad-
vance Threshers Arrived In Port
land at 43o P, NJ Last Friday.

This IN the only special freight train
that ever crossed the eontiursft that had
special printed time card for the entire
trip. The e. b. 4 q. X. X. had this
special time card printed before the d.
parture Of the train from the East, and 1t
has been run on strictly schedule Fine all
the. way through. There are more thrcsh-
ers On this single train than any firm in
Portland has ever yet shipped during an
entire season, there being - threshers
besssiee engines and horse powers.
II iefiearned from Mr.. Wright that this
shipment is only a portion Of the order
that he has already placed with the ADJ
vance Tkresher Company for this season
To give some little idea Of the importance
Of this shipment, it can be stated that If
these threshers were strung out one be-
hing the other they would reach dis
tanre OF twelve blocks. The train wac in
charge of Mr.. Clarence l.. Wright, n
Younger brother OF Mr.. n. 7. Wi 1T,
and the former enjoys the dis
tinction OF making the first visit to the
coast in the fall enjoyment OF a special
train. he being the only passenger on this
train. MIR. G. l.. Wright expects 10 make
his home In the future on this coast. II
n further learned from Mr.. Wright that
last summer he WIS short over thirty
machines. and IL was this that inslueed
him 10 make this enormous shipment
this wear. He will make every endeayor
10 fili all orders received during the pres
ent wear. but he advises ali parties who
desires threshers 10 send in their orders
as early as possible. Dir. Wright says
that the Advance Thresher is the only
machine in the market that will stand
crowding up TO lis full capacity and not
waste the grain, and as farmers are like
all others OF the times, the making every
attempt TO DO everything ina hurry, they
have found by careful trial that the Adj
vance Thresher is the best machine in
the market to-day.
The train was stopped below the \. 7.
Mills end vas photographed, and any OF
Mr.. Wnght's friends who wish photo
Qraph of the largest train OF Threshers over
shipped west Of the Rocky Mountains,
and more threshers than ever has been
shipped In any one train by any firm ex-
cent the Advance Thresher Company,
they can get il by applying Ia person or
by letter. Mr.. Wright informs as that
the greater portion OF the machines on
this train are already sold. He also says
there is no machine in America that
can equal the Advance for fast work and
and saving grain. Sir. Wright's ware
room and Office is at the foot OF Morrison
street, and ne win take pleasure in ex-
the merits Of the Advance
Thresher 10 all who may be interested.
