tangled fire escape was tried on one of
Portland's highest buildings the man
who looked like small boy at such a
distance lighted a cigar buckled the
steel tape onto belt around his waist

ground and taking off his hat he said:

with compressed yeast, also Tucker oats
for breakfast and saved my life, and
turning away he said John Booth the
grocer keeps both of these.
