In response 10 the demands OF the
times the o. r. & N. and lts connea-
tions are placing In operation a much
better grade Of tourist sleepers for Pa
clhc coast service than at any previous
time. The largely increased traffic 10
this section Of the country has demand
ed all the improvements OF latter-day
transportation, and in consideration Of
this the railroads are establishing a
service which is excellent in every par
tlcular. Not only are the wishes Of
first-class passengers served, but those
VINO are travelling 10 and from the East
on second-claBs tickets are splendidly
cared for. There was a time when q
tourist sleeper appealed 10 limited
number OF people who were travelling
on the Cheap" order, IN every meaning
OF the term. Now. however, there has
been a radical change. With the bet
ter tourist sIeepers In operation the
class OF passengers has been improved.
and one may now travel upon them
and enjoy all the privileges OF a first
class sleeper al a greately reduced rate.

est improved tourist sleepers, a model
OF beauty and handsome appointments.
The new cars are almost an exact
counterpart OF the flrst-claas sleepers.
One noticeable feature Of the new
tourist cars is tn absence OF smoking
apartment. The new cars being built
by the Pullman Company are not pro-
vided with smoking apartments. This
new departure has been taken because
OF the fact that mist through trains
are provided with composite cars. which

A POEM ON MANKIND.

Like what is man, but like a sprouting
weed.
That grows and ripens but to cast its
seed
Among the thistles and the tares Of life
And then TO see It strangled in the
stlfe:
Or like the clouds that wander with the
breeze
And pass unnoticed from a life Of ease
Or like a mushroom, sprung to life,
alas.
To starve or strangle in the tangled
grass2
These are thoughts that are apt 10
come to many people at times, espe-
cially when they are sick and have to
pay big prices for medicines. But there
is one drug store in Oregon where you
can save from 10 to % per cent on
everything you buy, and that is ]. A.
Clemenson's Drug Store, at 221 Yam
hill street. Portland, Ore. At that store
you can get Hoods Sarsaparilla at zoe:
Mellen's Food. 81 size, 55c; Bromo Selt-
ger, 81 size, zoe, and everything else at
the same low rate. You can get red
trading stamps there. and II you need

there.

BIG HOSTING CRANE,
Baldwin Locomotive Works the Great
est Machine Shops In the World.

A hoistlng crane that handles a To-
comotlve like toy and whirles Il
through space at the rate OF forty feet
minute is the latest mechanical de-
vice which the Baldwin Locomotive
Works has put into its finishing de-
partment as n part of the greatest ma
chine shop In the world.
The crane is run by electricity
Some conception Of It's size and power
can be gathered by the following hg-
ures; II is ss6 feet long. 15S feet wide
and a feet high. II has lifting power
OF 100 tons, which Is more than the
weight OF any locomotive that has yet
been built.
The finishing shop OF Baldwin's has
working floor capacity OF 70 locomo-
tlves, which means that II is possible
for this great American company to
be Rt work on that many almost COM
pleted engines at one time, All the
parts OF the locomotive made in the

Naturally when the huge bulks Of all
these parts were bolted fast and the
engines took form the weight was enor-
nous For long time some difficulty
was experienced in handling this
weight When an engine was finished
In one corner OF the room II was not
easy to bring 10 up to the center track,
where II could be run out OF the shop
and sent to It's destination.
That Is what the new crane is for;
that and lifting also any part like the
boilers, tubing or cylinder trucks into
place The construction tracks run
across the short dimensions Of the
room. There are nineteen Of them and
they all end at the brick wall except
the center ones, which lead to the out
side world.
Cranes like this and other shop de-
vices for handling are the things which
make 1t possible for American firms
to complete their work in such re-
markable short time. To them Is due
In great measure the rapidity of the
construction of the Atbara bridge, of
the Penooyd Iron Works, which opened
England's eyes so wide, and the rapid
ity which enables the Baldwin Loco
motive Works to turn out three en-
gines day,
The speed OF this crane is remark
able. 1t executes three motions. One
