ESCANABA, Mich, Sept. 1S.-Until

month. Now he is millionaire. Devlin
worked for three years on a patent for
a turbine steam engine. He is a mod

friends did not know what he was do
ing. The working model was COM
pleted last March, and June 10 the
patents were granted. Devlin has re-
ceived from the hands of Attorney A.
L. Walch of New York a draft for
1915 900 from the North German Lloyds
for his patent He also signed an
agreement by which he is to receive

was of a retiring disposition little was
thought Of his spending his time so
closely at home and he made no men
ton of what he had on foot When it
was known that he had been offered
and accepted nearly $1,000, 900 for the
product of his brain in the last three
years from a transatlantic steamship
line the story was received with doubt.
When the New York attorney arrived
with the draft for the full amount
doubt gave way to surprise and con-
gratulations.
No details Of the new engine have
been made public. 1t is only known
that it is a great improvement over

It's continuance necessarily depends

seem as though every shipper who
can use this service would do so. On
the showing made will depend very

Must Have Shippers Support.
The operation of this line will be
watched with interest, as it will afford
a fair index Of the practical support
to be given the open river movement.
For the good of the state and of Port
land it is hoped that all shippers will
lend practical encouragement to this
effort on the part Of public spirited
citizens to help the producer and dis
tributer by making use of Oregon's
waterways and thus reducing rates.
It is certain the steamers must have
business to be kept in operations. While
individuals may gain temporary advan-
tages by Withdrawing their support,
and while the railroad may and will
reduce rates one way or another at
competitive points, the shippers must
