men inspecting the engines will be
able to walk under the engine in spe-
cially designed pits, as well as above
and around them.
After passing over the inspection
pits, the engine will be driven into
the ash house, where the fires will be
cleaned and ashes removed AS the
ashes are drawn from the engine, they
will be dropped into electrically op-
Grated cars, running beneath hopper
! in the pits, and these cars will then
be driven to the ash dump. With this
method, the necessity of shovelling the
ashes from the pit into cars and from
! there to another pit, will be elfmf-
mated.
| After leaving the ash pits, the en-
CINE is driven on to the turntable, and
| from here is parked in one Of the
twenty stalls of the engine house. The
engine house will be so constructed,
with pits beneath each engine, and a
| forced draft heating system, so as to
keep the engines in proper condition
| in all kinds of weather.
| To handle the smoke from the en-
g1nes, always trouble in the termin-
ais each pit will be equipped with a
funnel shaped device which will draw
the smoke from all of the engines, and
force it outside through an S0-foot
stack, located just back of the engine
shed. Each stall will also be equipped
with a pair of drop pits, where, by
means Of huge electric cranes, drivers
may be removed from the engines and
taken to the machine shops for re-
pair.
Shops Well Lighted.
The engine machine shop will be
located just east of the terminal, and
here all minor repairs to the engines
will be made. The shop will be a
large, well lighted building, made OF
brick, and equipped with the most
modern machinery for metal working
Here, as in the car repair shops, an
iannex will be built to care for the
Ecomfort of the men, and room sim
liar in construction to that at the cal

i. S. BUILDING CHAIN
Of FORTS ALONG BORDER

III Paso, Texas. July 2l.-Like the
chain OF forts built in the days of
the Indians to guard the Staked
Planes and the southwest from raids
by marauding bands of savages, the
United States army is building per-
manent outposts along the Mexican
border to prevent incursions by arm
ed bands of Mexican bandits across
the borders. These will extend from
the Pacific to the mouth of the Rio
Grande at Brownsville, Texas, and
will be garrisoned by detachments of
infantry and cavalry from the South
ern department.
Construction work Is in progress
on these permanent outposts in the
El IPaso district, including the Big
Bend sub-district of Texas and the
sub-district of New Mexico. In the
Big bend, where many Mexican raids
have occurred, these outposts are be-
ing built like the blockhouses of
frontier days with trenches surround
ing the low adobe and concrete build
ings, built in the form of quad
rangle to give the best possible de-
fensive protection. AT Palvo, Ruid-
osa. Redford, Glen Springs and vado
lPiedra these outposts are being con-
structed under the direction of Col,
George I4a'nghorne, commander OF
the sub-base. IA cantonment also is
being built at Maria, Texas. so miles
from the border, to serve as head
quarters for the outposts.

A[hEDAM|NE AGAIN
IN FEDERAL COURT
George Drew, Stakeholder, Sues 9th
er Stockholders for Accounting
OF Expenditures

Portland, Ore, July 21.-Another
revival OF the several years OF htiga-
tlon involving rival stockholders and
directors Of the Almeda Mines com
pany and the Almeda Consolidated
Mines company was started in the
federal court Saturday when George
Y. Drew, a stockholder. brought suit
against other stockholders. directors
and state officials for a complete ac-
counting OF all affairs of the two con-
Germs. The amount involved runs
high into the millions.
The plaintiff asks that the federal
court nulffy all legal proceedings
which have been instituted and are
now pending in the circuit court of
Josephine County. He asks also that
the entire property involved in the
litigation be awarded to the Almeda
Consolidated Mines company and
against the Almeda Mines company.
The plaintiff charges various of the
directors and stockholders with
fraud and deception, and alleges that
the earlier litigation dating several
years back wss started as a means
by which they could procure control
of the property.
The same litigation has been be-
fore the federal court on former oc-
casions. 1t also has been in the
courts of Josephine and Douglas
counties and in the Multnomah coun-
ty circuit court.

CHIEF M'LANE ISSUES
AUTO PARKING ORDERS

Chief OF Police McI.ane REQUESTS
all drivers to observe the proper
parking OF their cars when stopping
on Sixth street. The proper way to
park your car is to back In to the
curb with the right rear wheel rest
Ing against or near the curb. leav-
Ing the front of the car out few
feet from the curb and pointing at an
angle toward the street. In this man
ner any driver can easily get into
his automobile and drive away with
out disturbing other cars.
Chief McIIane especially calls at
tention to the fact that drivers must
not hereafter block the streets while
listening to band concerts or other
entertainments. Only one line of
automobiles will hereafter be allow
ed on each side of the street and cars
must not be aligned up two or three
deep, as has been done In the past.
This order must be observed so that
In case Of fire the heavy fire truck
would be able to pass along the
street without running the risk of
wrecking many automobiles. Such
blocking of the streets is danger
GUS practice,
The proper parking OF cars on the
street will also tbe demanded at the
band concerts. Heretofore autos
have been driven straight into the
'urb, leaving the rear of the car pro.
iecting out into the street. Thus
when there is a solid line of auto.
mobiles present. the driver OF any
particular car must necessarily back
his machine blindly into the street
Here. as on other parts of Sixth
street. cars must be left standing
With the rear right wheel to the
'urb, the front OF the car standing
few feet away from the curb.
Strict compliance with Chief Me.
Lanes orders will save someone
from getting seriously hurt, or DOS
s'bly killed, as is almost sure to re-
'ult II the careless parking up Of au,

ned.
