ORDERED BY RAILROAD
Fifteen Large Locomotives and sew

Portland, Ore, May 29.-In prep
aration Tor handling bumper erops OF
grain and fruit this summer and fall
the O.-W, r. & N. co. has placed a
large order for new rolling equip
ment, including 15 large locomotives
ana several hundred box cars. This
1t is hoped will with the thousands of
old cars prove adequate to handle
the years crops with prompt dispatch.
The Pacific Fruit Express. through
which fruit shipments originating on
this coast are handled has ordered
1000 refrigerator cars to assist in taxi
ing care or the perishable fruit This
Is Of particular Importance to fruit
growers who depend on prompt and
rapid service.

walton is much larger than before.
both as to grain and orchard and If
nothing unforeseen happens to cause
damage Oregon will eclipse all for
mer records by a tremendous margin.
Wheat prospects in eastern and
central Oregon never were brighter
than today, according to reports from
various reliable sources. and from the
orchard districts come similar re-
ports. In the dry farming counties
the wheat is said to be so we'll ad-
vanced and in such splendid condition
that no more rain will be needed to
mature it in fine shape and it is said
there is very little danger If any from
hot winds this year.
The lumber business has shown a
decided Improvement the past few
weeks and from now on large ship
ments will be going east every day
This will create a heavy demand for
rolling stock that has not been felt for
the past year. Lumber manufactur-
ers feel some concern over a possible
car shortage which they say will be
sure to come unless buyers place or
ders early. Several mills are now
booked up about as far in advance as
they care to go, however, it being the
general impression that values are
bound to advance as the volume of
business increases. 1t is said that as
result of the heavy demand of the
past three weeks, mills in this district
have no surplus of clears, but instead
have a ready market for all they can
produce.

BOSTON HOSPITAL
TO CURE "THE BLUES
New Psychopathic Institution the
First of Its Kind i'm the World


Cambridge, Mass-Boston is to
have hospital for "the blues" the
first of the kind in the world. The
institution will be psychopathic
though markedly different in scope
from the wards of that name attach
ed to Bellevue Hospital in New York
City.
The hospital for "the buues" will
be branch of the Boston State Hos
pital and will be conducted on the
theory that all insanity cases are
simply forms of physical sickness
which can be alleviated with proper
treatment. To that end, the place will
be a sort of clearing house for those
whose brains are out of gear. They
will be differentiated and classified
according to the kinds of mental dis
eases they show. and remedies will be
sought for each class of patients.
There will be an out-patient de-
partment, for dealing with incipient
insanity, and it is expected that this
branch of the work will afford strik'
ing opportunities for the relief OF
many mildly insane persons without
subjecting them to the stigma OF in
sanity.

CHINESE DEALERS
BAND TOGETHER
Business Men of Shanghai Form
Strong Organization TO De-
velop Trade.

Shanghai.-Chinese business men in
Shanghai have formed a strong or
ganization to develop the trade of the
new republic. The start was made in
Shanghai, because there are more
rich Chinese here than anywhere else
in the country.
The object in which the trade pro-
moters are most concerned is the alb
clifton of the likin tax. Though sup
posedly abolished early in the revo-
luton, this is still being collected, to
the destruction of provincial
commerce. Theoretically, the likin
stations are only on roads and water
ways at perpetual boundaries with a
fixed scale of duties. In fact, how
ever, stations have been maintained
wherever local officials chose, and
have even been set up by robber
bands with duties fixed at the whim
of the collectors. A farmer coming
but few miles to Shanghai might
have to pay the likin tax dozen
times on his produce.

Los Angeles.-CHy Jailer Shand lost
his wealthiest and most notable pris-
oner when George c. Fetterman, the
millionaire Los Angeles man and or
ange grower of Los Angeles and Du-

Fetterman served ten days for
speeding. He took a street car home,
not daring to trust himself in an au-
tomobile. He pleaded guilty to eX-
ceeding the thirty-mil limit and was
sentenced to ten days. He appealed
to a higher court after serving two
days and was denied a retrial.
