A. L. Mills, president Of Portland's
biggest bank, evidently knows what
he is talking about when be says the
Pacific Northwest is the most prosper
ous section of the United States. He
says capital of the country is easy and
it is coming this way for investment
in large quantities. Prospects for this
year are the best, he says. the North
west has ever known. He naturally
attributes very large part Of the
activity and hustle hereabout to the
large amount of railroad building now
under way. This work, be says, is
showing the confidence the leaders in
the financial world have in this section
and it naturally breeds confidence in
others.

A Race With Locomotive When Rail.
roads Were New.
In 1922 the first charter was obtain
ed for a railroad in the United States.
1t was for line from Philadelphia to
point on the Susquehanna river. but
was never built. On the announce
ment of the project some one asked
one Of the Baltimore newspapers
what is railroad. anyhow:" The
editor was forced to reply that he did
not know. but that perhaps some 9th
er correspondent can tell"
Seven years later Oh the little wood
en- track along the Lackawanna creek
the first locomotive had its trial. The
experiment was far from successful.
and for a number Of years afterward
the trains on most of the railroads con-
tinued to be drawn by horses. The
first locomotive on the Baltimore and
Ohio had sails attached. SO did the
cars. These sails were hoisted when
the wind was in the right direction so
as to help the locomotive.
The rivalry between the railroads
using locomotives and those using
horses was very bitter. In August.
1880, an actual trial Of speed was held
between u horse and one of the pioneer
locomotives which did not result in
favor of the locomotive. The race was
on the Baltimore and Ohio, the loco
motive being one built by Peter Coop
er. who also acted as engine driver.
The horse, gallant gray, was in the
habit of pulling car on track paral-
lei to that used by the locomotive. At
first the gray had the better of the
race, but when he was a quarter of
mile ahead Mr.. Cooper succeeded in
getting up enough steam to pass the
horse amid terrific applause,
At that moment a band slipped from
a pulley. and though Mr.. Cooper lac
Grated his hands trying to replace it
the engine stopped, the horse passed 1t
and came in the winner"
As there were no brakes on the ear
ly trains, they used to stop and to
start with jolts which threw the pas
sengers across the car. The coupling
was with chains, having two or three
feet of slack, which the engine in
starting took up with a series Of fierce
jerks. The shock on stopping was
even worse and "never failed to send
the passengers flying"
There were no whistles in the old
days. Signals were given by pushing
up the valve on the dome by hand and
letting the steam escape with loud
Kissing noise. On the New Castle and
Frenchtown railroad when the signal
was heard the slaves around the sta
tion would rush to the arriving train,
seize hold of it and pull back with all
their might while the agent stuck
piece Of wood through a wheel.
There were so many collisions and
explosions that some southern rail-
roads introduced what they called a
barrier car between the locomotive and
the passenger coaches Of the train.
This barrier car consisted of plat
form on wheels upon which were piled
six bales of cotton, and it was claimed
it would safeguard the passengers in
two ways-it would protect them from
the blowing up of the locomotive and
would form a soft cushion upon which
the passengers could land in the event
Of a collision. There is no record OF
how this experiment worked out

The Planinq Machine.

As to the original inventor Of the
planning machine there is perhaps
scarcely a machine about which there
has been more controversy than this,
and there are many claimants to the
honor. There are records, however,
showing that Nicholas Forq, French
clockmaker, used a metal planer in
1851 for machining pump cylinders, ap-
parently being under the impression
that they could be made more accu-
rately in this manner than by a re-
volying cutter.-Cassier's Magazine.

Despite heavy weather of the past
winter, inquiry into crop and stock
conditions show that losses have not
been so general as was feared. Some
stock was lost on the range but the
percentage is not large. Prospects in
the extensive grain districts Of East
ern Oregon are excellent for a
bumper crop. Grain prospects in the
Willamette valley are said to be some
what less satisfactory Because of
the unusually heavy snowfall in the
mountains during the past winter,
there will be plenty Of water for irri-
cation purposes this year.

on Thursday, June 80, it will be read
lily admitted that all so-called trained
horse performances seen in America
in the past are really not worth SER
ious thought. The Schuman horses
waltz on their hind feet to the music
of an orchestra. They knock the bung
out of beer barrels, insert fawcets and
draw off a liquid that resembles beer.
They fill large glasses and drink good
health to spectators.
They enter the arena concealed in
large barrels, which are piled on an
immense brewery wagon. The nature
of the act comes as surprise to the
audience when the horses kick the
heads out of their barrels and jump
into the ring. Later another of the
horses enters the arena pulling large
Victoria, with driver seated on the
box. While the driver is flirting with
his passenger, the horse shakes him
self out of the harness, takes the fell
low by the collar, losses him out of
the carriage, and, climbing into the
rig, seats himself by the side of the
astonished young woman.
Another great example of animal
training is found in the new elephant
act which the Ringing Brothers have
imported at great cost. There are fif-

teen animals in all. They occupy all
three rings. The two end rings are
connected by telephone line; the ex-
change office is in the center ring. An
elephant at one end calls up central
and is connected Immediately with an
elephant at the farther end of the tent.
An animated conversation is carried
on between the two big beasts by
comical snorts and trumpetings. All
the tricks these elephants do are new.
Among other trained animals are
pigs that shoot the chutes, play on
hand organs and ride velocipedes.
There are wonderful troupes Of
trained dogs, educated mules, perform
ing cats and birds and a clown bear
that adds greatly to the comedy of
the show.
No expense has been spared and not
task has been left undone In the
perfecting of this years organization.
The foreign agents of the show and
the jungle trappers> have been more
than usually fortunate in the gather
ing together of great performers and
rare exhibits. Not in fifty years has
America been handed such a splendid
surprise as Ringing Brothers circus
is this year. 1t is filed with brilliant
novelties from start to finish.

Albert Schumsn's Horses, From Ger.
man Circus, Engaged by Ringing
Brothers,

The greatest achievement in the art
Of training animals is found in the
performance of Albert Schuman's
horses from the Circus Schuman at
Berlin, Schevengen and Frankfort.
This act is the master work of the
great German wizard. Thousands upon
thousands of visitors to Europe in
clude the Schuman circus in their
itinerary. Until this season it has
been the only place in the world where
real trained horses were to be seen.
Albert Schuman is many times a
millionaire. He made his money
training horses and placing them on
exhibition. His three circuses are as
great an attraction to tourists as the
ruins of Rome, the pyramids, the Paris
Salon, the picturesque Thames of
England or the lakes of Killarney.
