TAILORING AT LONG IRA NGE

George F. Baer, president of the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway
company, said, in the course of an adj
dress to conductors and brakemen:
Hard work and enterprise, now as
In the past, bring success. They are
deceived who say poor men have no
more opportunities. Don't believe
their tales"
Mr.. Baer smiled family.
Such tales are no truer of rail-
reading" he said, than is the old
tale of the railway tailor.
"A man, according to this tale. was
standing before station one autumn
afternoon when bell changed, and
all the station employees came running

ELEVA TOR FOR THE INVALID

Not all the elevators in use in the
country are of the big and massive
and quick moving type familiar in
modern Office buildings, or of the more
ornate and perhaps luxurious kinds
now to be found in many apartment
houses and private dwellings,. There
are many other kinds of elevators in
use, including, for example, the invalid
elevator
1t is intended for people who are
able to sit up, and so it is made only
big enough to give room for a seat for
the invalid, with space besides for the
person operating it. Some invalid ele-
vators are nowadays operated by cleo
trio motors; but the great majority
are like the dumbwaiter, and propelled
by means of similar appliances oper-
ated by hand.
Used in this way, it can be set up
anywhere, and so an invalid elevator

occasionally where the space will per.

NORTH YAKIMA, Oct. 22.-The fed

taken out no arrests will be made.

DRILLING THE AOl Es
AND SHOT WILL BE FIRED
NOVEMBER S.

So frequent have the reports from
blasting on the north bank road be-
come that little attention is paid to
them, says The Dalles Chronicle. One
is, however, scheduled for November
5tn which will be of interest from a
spectacular point of view. On that
date, if all goes we'll, one of the largest
blasts which will be resorted to in re-
moving mountains along the entire
road, will be put off at point just op-
posite The Dalles, about 200 yards
above the Rorick house, and will be a
sight worth seeing.
Laborers are now putting in a coy
ote hole in the rocky cliff at that
point which is about seventy feet high.
They have dug a tunnel large enough
for a man to enter and eighteen feet
in length. On either side, are tunnels
thirty feet long, while above five holes
will be drilled to a depth Of twenty
two feet each. These will be filed
with two and a half tons of powder and
ignited by an electric spark: It will
not only be a sight to see the ex-
plosion, but if everything in the heavens
above, the earth beneath and the wa
tiers under the earth don't get a jar,
it'll be no fault of the "blasters."
1t takes some time to prepare for
an eruption like that, six feet day
being the average dig.
