one which owes its origin to Tacoma. The machine for its manufacture was invented by James Thomas of Tacoma, and a factory for the reproduction of the machines has been es tablished in that city. The second machine made by Mr. Thomas was sold to Will A. Curless, who installed it in eastern Oregon on an irrigation project and there turned out several thousand feel of pipe. This machine was purchased by the Tacoma Cement Glazed Pipe company and set up in its factory at the corner of Thirty-first and Kast E streets. The Thomas glazed cemenl pipe machine is a combina tion of a rotating table and a stationary core. In the process of manufacture the pipe revolves and the core remains rigid, thus producing the effecl of troweling, which completes the interior surface, eliminating all Inequalities and producing a satisfactory finish for a pipe Intended for conducing water or sewage. The machine as Installed by the Tacoma Cement Glazed Pipe company consists of two independent parts, or for that matter two machines. One of them is designed to make pipe from 4 to 15 inches in diameter and the other from 4

The same countershaft drives the two machines. The rotating table is mounted at the center upon a vertical shaft which is held in a fixed position by a broad boxing care fully babbited. Motion is imparted by gear connections; the under side of the table carries one member of a beveled gear around its entire periphery with the teeth projecting downward and away from the center and is engaged by the other member which slides back and forth on the counter shaft, and which is under control of a level.

Architecture ir\ Greater Northwest THE SEWARD HOTEL, PORTLAND The new Seward hotel opened the past summer is one of the most modern and up-to-date hostelries in the Greater North west. The first floor with its spacious lobby, writing room and ladies' parlor finished in mahogany with tinted walls and ceil ing, tapestry, brick fire place, art gas and electric fixtures; furnished with large leather and plush chairs, and tables to match the color scheme, appeals not only to the artistic but to the lover of comfort. At the left of the main entrance is the cafe, finished and furnished in mahogany. Back of the main lobby is the buffet, fin ished in weathered oak of mission de sign. The 120 rooms on the four floors above are so arranged as to be used singly or en suite, with or without private bath. Each room has hot and cold water, a large, electric lighted closet, local and long distance phone and brass beds, with the color scheme carried out in each suite. All toilets, lavatories and public baths are of white marble open plumbing and tile floors. The sixth floor is given to the commer cial traveler, a new innovation being the arrangement of folding doors giving any size sample room desired. The stairs at each floor are cut off by fire proof doors and the elevator is en cased in a fireproof shaft. A modern vacuum cleaning plant is lo cated in the basement with pipe to each floor. The heating plant has double the capacity required for ordinary use. The north half of the basement is be ing made over into one of the finest grills in the city.
A farmer's last advice to his son was: "Don't spend money recklessly except for fertilizers." "Had he been a pro gressive merchant instead of a farmer," says The Hustler, "he would probably have substituted the word advertising for fertilizer. In reality they accomplish the same results. Business has got to be fertilized with publicity to produce good crops." December 18, 1909 PACIFIC BUILDER AND ENGINEER 29
