Old Elevators Still Run.

Back In 1888, when Portland was .
fedgling city, came an historical Incl
dent with the installation of the first
passenger elevator In the Liable build
ing at Second and Washington streets.
The old cage Is there yet, making Its
regular trips. BY calculation 1t has
travelled over 1900 miles In Its 50
years of life, half Of the distance up
and half down.
When 1t was first placed 10 opera
ton 1t was one Of the sights Of the
city, and no trip to Portland was COM
plete without at least a look at the
new contrapuOn. AS most of the Wis
itors wanted to ride, 1t was very pop
ular.
Just about three years after 1t was
installed Ed. JOost came to the build
ing,- and since that time, 35 years ago.
he has been running the lift, for over
a decade being engineer-in-chief. In
the course of events and in keeping
with the march Of progress the mo-
tive power has been changed from the
old hydraulic system that served the
downtown buildings to an electric mo-
tor, but the old cage, an elaborate
structure OF metal filigree, Is yet on
duty.-Portland Oregonian.

ON CRAZY BRIDGE
American Crossed River Where
Misstep Meant Death.
Reader Will Be In Full Accord with
the Statement That 1t Was
"Creepy, Ghastly Process"

An American tells of crossing the
Teesta river, in the Himalayan region,
on a rickety bamboo bridge.
The bridge, always dangerous, was
at that time a mere ragged skeleton
of itself, and to make matters worse
was slippery with green slime. Such
bridges are usually rebuilt once IN
two years, but this one had evidently
not been touched for much longer
than that. On this narrow, tottering
structure, open at the sides, the Amer
lean had to cross over the turbuient,
rapid river 300 feet wide and seventy
| feet below the bridge.
| The instant one steps on sucn
bridges they recoil from him and swing
and shake in an alarming way, rolling
from side to side and pitching like
ship in a storm. They swerve with q
sudden jerk every time one lifts his
foot; not only sideways and length
wise, but downward and forward, as
ones weight depresses the bridge. This
goes on until one passes the middle OF
the bridge, after which the oscillating
structure kicks up behind one as he
aScendS.
Now, this American got on fairly
well as long as he could see the bam-
boo rod on which he had to walk, al
though the open sides heightened the
sense of insecurity. But away from
the bank, if one looks down TO see
where to place his foot, the rush OF
leaping water in the torrent below
gives him the giddy sensation that both
he and the bridge are running swiftly
up stream.
Yet one must keep his eye upon the
single bamboo overhanging the abyss
and find shaky footing upon it, since
to miss 1t means certain death.
The American was quarter OF the
way over, perhaps, when as he stepped
from one bamboo to the next 1t tilted
up and he could see most OF those In
front were lying loose and disjointed
In their V-slings. They had been
broken away by the passing Of per
sons who had preceded him. He could
not swing round to go back; forward
was his only course.
He went on with long strides to gel
q foothold on this shaking, swinging
line of Shiny bambo0s. After each steI
he had to half close his eyes to cOun
teract the giddy feeling Of the upward
rush Of the bridge. 1t was creepy
CHASTITY process. A false step meant
death in the raging gulf below. After
what seemed an age he reached the
opposite bank.

Women In China.

Perhaps as an outcome Of a move
ment started early this year by Chi
nese women's organizations in Canton
to open avenues Of employment hither-
to closed to women, the national as
sembly Of the southern government
has given a job to a girl. This is q
clerkship and the first in Canton, II
not in all China, to be given to q
woman. Miss So Kan. the appointee,
has been assigned to post In connec-
ton with publication of parliamentary
records
In response to action taken by Chi
nese wOmen's clubs the Canton-Sam-

to employ girls, while the Canton Tele-
graph company also is planning to In
clude women In its working staff.

as tip my hat to her while Collngwood
Is on this side Of the Missouri river.
"But IL you quit. you'll go east your

Maybe, after a while. For the time
being, I'd like to loaf on you for a

ton that I'd like to stick around and
look on-as an innocent bystander."
1.-The innocent bystander usually
gets shot in the leg" the boss ripped
out, with the brittlest kind of humor.
And then: II suppose l shall have to
let you do what you want to-and let
you pick your own time for giving me
the real reason. But you're Gripping
me most savagely. Upton-and at a
time when l am least able to stand it."
Mr.. Van Britt got up and edged his
way toward the door.
ITS a good reason, Graham; and
some time-say when we are walking
through the pearly gates Of the New
Jerusalem together-maybe I'll tell
you about 1t. If I were really good
scrapper, I'd stay and help you fight
It out with Hatch; but you know the
old saying-capital Is always coward
ly; and my present credit at the Portal
City National is pretty we'll up to
quarter OF million. thanks to the
dividends I deposited today. Good
night. I'll see you In the morning-if

kept right busy over the indexes
after Mr., Van Britt went away, just
to give the boss little chance to catch
up with himself. He sure was catch
ing 1t hot and heavy on all sides.
All we needed now was for President
Dunton to come smashing In with one
more good Jolt and 1t would be all
over but the obsequies. the monument
and the epitaph. At least, that is the
way 1t looked to me.
1t was along about ten o'clock when
the boss closed his desk with bang
and said we'd better saw 1t off for the
night. l walked uptown with him
and as we were passing the Billiard
he turned in to ask the night clerk
If Collingwood was In his room. The
answer was nix; that the young New
Yorker hadn't been seen since dinner.
On the way out we saw Mr.. Van
Britt at the telegraph alcove. He was
handing in a thick bunch Of kilograms
for transmission, and he rather point
edly turned the sheaf face down upon
the marble slab when we came along.

CHAPTER XVI
The peaerter

| Mr.. NOrCrOSS chased OUT ana trle(
to overtake CollingwoOd. going as fa
as the foot Of the stairs. l went, too
but got only far enough to meet th'
boss coming up again. There wa!
nothing doing. The station policeman
had seen the crazy rounder jump int
a taxi and go spinning off uptown.
There was another jolt waiting fol
us when we got back to the office
While we were both out, Mr.. Van Brit
had blown in from his room at the
foot, Of the hall and we found hin
lounging comfortably In the chair thai
Collingwood had just vacated.
II thought maybe you'd turn uI
again pretty soon. since you'd left the
doors all Open" was the way he started
out. Then: "Sit down, Graham;
want to talk a few lines"
Mr.. Norcross took his own chair and
twirled 1t to face the general super
intendent. "Say it," he commanded
briefly.
MIR. Van Britt hooked his thumbs
| In his armholes.
"I've just been figuring bit on the
general outlook: you have a decently
efficient operating outfit here. what
with Perkins and Brant and Conway
handling the three divisions as self
contained units. You don't need a
general superintendent any more than
a monkey needs two tails"
"What are you driving att" was
the curt demand.
"Well, suppose we say retrenchment,
for one thing AS I size 1t up. you
might just as well be saving my salary.
1t would buy good many new cross
ties in the course of year."
That's all bunk. and you know It."
snapped the boss. ''The organization
as 1t stands hasn't a single stick of
dead wood in 1t. You know very we'll
that a railroad the size of the Short
Line can't run without an individual
head of the operating department"
Mr.. Van Britt laughed little at
that.
IF you should get some one Of these
new efficiency experts out here he
would probably tell you that you could
cut your staff right in two in the
middle"
could see that the boss was get
ting mighty nearly impatient.
"You are merely turning handsprings
around the edges of the thing you have
come to say. Upton" he barked out.
Come to the point. can't you? What
have you got up your sleeve"
"Nothlng that I could make you
understand in month Of Sundays.
I'm sore on my job and I want to
quit"
Nonsense You don't mean that?"
"Yes, | do. I'm tired of wearing
the brass collar Of soulless corpora
tion. What's the use. anyway? / found
q bunch of dividend checks from my
hank at home in the mail to-day, and
what good does the money do me?
I can't spend it out here; can't even
tin the servants at the hotel without
eyerlastingly demoralizing them. I'm
like the little boy who wanted to go
out in the garden and eat worms"
The boss was frowning thoughtfully.

ton" he protested. Cant you blow
the froth off and let me see what's
IN the bottom Of the stein?'
"Pledge you my word, it's all froth,
