PATENTS USEFUL RECORDER.
Portland Man Inventor of Street Car
Street Recorder That VIII Relieve
Nervous People.

w. e. Lakin, a conductor on the
East Ankeny carllne. who lives at
SO East Twenty-seventh street North
has patented street recorder to be
placed in street cars. 1t will record
the name of the street which a car
is approaching and designate the
numbers of the houses on the block
says the Portland Journal.
At the same time his invention will
flash a picture or advertisement tc
view until another street Is crossed
The speed of the car does not alter
the display, for the trolley merely
meets an overhead contact hanger,
wherever located. and the recorder
does the work perfectly.
Mr.. Lakin's device will not only
relieve conductors of the necessity of
calling the streets. but will quiet the
fears of the nervous passengers.
Strangers seeking a certain number
can locate it block away by this re-
corder, which is like an ordinary
cash register and can be removed to
another car is necessary.
To relieve the monotony of staring
the passenger opposite in the face.
Mr.. Lakin says he can present attrac-
tive pictures of Oregon scenery be-
tween advertisements and might even
attach a phonograph and give good
vaudeville show.

Appear Before Railroad Commission
10 Secure More Favorable Shipment
Terms.
Western oregon live stock shippers
had a hearing before the Oregon
Railroad commission Tuesday on the
matter of securing more favorable
terms on shipping contracts, says the
Salem Journal.
They represent that stockyards,
corrals and other convenlences are
inadequate, that there is not enough
time allowed on the attendants re-
turn ticket on the S. p. lines, and
other matters. The shippers we're
represented by C. L. McNary, of this
city and he made a very strong case
for them.
AS witnesses, VIM. Steusloff and
H. II. Vandervert were called and
testified on the above lines. Counsel
for the three big corporations doing
business i'm the state put up no de-
fense, but asked for further time to
prepare evidence and arguments, and
1t was granted.
The commission went to Toledo to-
day, where Hon. B. F. Jones is prose
cutting case against the Corvallis &
Eastern to secure better train serv-
Ice on that famous line to the sum-
mer resort of all western Oregon peo-
pie.

ashe CouIdn,t Marry Three, .

4 At the Oregon last night the COM
edy "She Couldn't Marry Three"
was presented for the first time to a
fair house. Miss Virginia Eames,
who arrived here a few days ago from
San Francisco, to join the Streeter-
Bryan company, took the part of
the heroine in this play, during the
absence of Miss Bryan, and that she
Is versatile addition to the company
Is declared by all who had the pleas
ure of seeing her in the role of "Bess
Brandon" last evening.
"She Couldn't Marry Three" is a
clever little comedy drama, and is
quite different from the western play,
"The Round Up" which was put on
the first Of the week. 1t has a pretty
romance running through it and calls
for some heavy work on the part OF
several of the company. Harry ].
Terry in the role of Davey Holt, who
is in love with Bess, does some good
work in this play as does Miss Maude
Belmour, Harry Wallace and Bert
Hadley.
Frank Condor as Bob Bsckus, a
humorous character, added much tc
the comic part of the play.
Last night a handsome tapestry
table cover was given away to tn,
party holding the lucky number anC
tonight a fine pier mirror will be pre-
sented. At the regular matinee to-
morrow afternoon Miss Foster, Mis-:
Eames and Miss Belmour will receive
after the show and two teddy bear:
will be given to the children holding
the lucky numbers. Tomorrow, Sat
urday night, the lucky party will get
real live baby pig. If man gets
the number he will be expected to
catch the pig upon the stage. Do
not fail to see the play. "She Couldn't

OWNS MAMMOTH TURKEY.
Second Largest Foul Of the Kind
Ever Exhibited in America
Weighs 48 Pounds.

N. Rice. a we'll known farmer OF
Eureka Flat, has the honor Of own
ing the second largest turkey ever
Fexhibited in America, says the Wana
Walla Statesman. The big bird is
occupying a pen at the annual poul-
try show in Union hall this week. The
bird weighs exactly As pounds, and is
truly a monster.
He is of the mammoth bronze breed
with coat of feathers having the ap-
pearance of old gold. In the pen with
him are three smaller birds. year
old, which promise to break the
worlds record set by predecessors.
AS far as known. the only turkey
ever tipping the beams to a higher
mark than that of Mr.. Rice's bird,
was in Madison Square garden, New
York, in 1899, This fowl, of the same
variety, weighed SO pounds at the
age of four. years. As Mr.. Rice's
turkey is but two years of age, he
will doubtless surpass the eastern
record, as poultry men say two years
more will add 10 pounds to his
weight
