In the words of one of the users, who wrote this firm recently, the ease of handling these engines with this device is nicely illustrated. He Says, among other things, "Your en- gines are powerful, noiseless and the manner of adjustment is perfect, and any kid with brains enough to use an 'oil can is competent to run them." Gillett & Eaton are in position to build these engines in any size from @in x 30 in to 24. in. x -12 ft: 'and in the various sizes of cross and tan- dem compound. - They are making a specialty of this class of machinery and by embodying tthe experience of others, which they . have had access to, with their own extensive experience, they are in po- sition to know to the detail the re- quirements, in every respect, pertain- ing to this-class of machinery. ue They also manufacture in combina- tion with these, a number of steam- boat accessories' such as pumps, cap- stans, heaters, etc.: ne STEEL BULK FREIGHT COAST- - ING STEAMER RIVERSIDE.

For years the large majority of the freight was carried' by «the: sailing' crait: later the wooden steam schooner became the. dominant factor in the trade while recently the steel steamship has appeared. Bitter controversy has raged regarding the relative merits of these three types of cargo car- riers, the discussion being most ac- tive with respect to the wooden steam schooner and its later steam built tival. "It. is not. the purpose of this article to go into the details of this debate, but to present in a brief de- scription the salient features of one 3y Manta of the most up to date of the Pacific coast steel bulk freight steamships. In two. short articles which will follow this one, the chief character- istics of a representative wooden steam schooner and sailing schooner will be presented. The series will then close with a discussion of the relative merits of the three types of vessel for the Pacific coast cargo trade. The vessel described and illustrated in this article is the steel steamship Riverside, built by The Moran Co., Seattle, for the Charles Nelson Co., Sat.
