THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 22, 1906. T PRftGT CABLE SAYS MQDJESKI Expert Engineer Heads Off Agreement for Upper Deck on Bridge. CONFERENCE IS POSTPONED H'orl or Portland Grants President .llicvcy Time Jn Which to Have the Project Thoroughly Investigated. j Th WMlainotto bridge question is still waeottlod. It tvas conndently believed by nil partJH Interested that the matter -tvwtttd come to a favorable coneluFlon yes iry afternoon, but a telegram from Itlph Modjonki. the expert engineer, at CMcage. headed oft the anticipated agrre mwtt and. upon requePt of President le tct. of the Portland & Seattle Railway Cmta.v. the conference arranged for he iwwr tho Port of Portland and the rail imi reprcFcntatlvea at 4 o'clock was post poned indefinitely. Engineer Modjcski's liHegmm stated that in his opinion the MMttkNi of an upper deck to a draw as long as that demanded by tho Port of Portland would be too cumbersome for mtlsfariory operation, and upon the atxenglh of this advice President Levey sked for time in which to fully investi pate the matter, so that no possible mis take wiH have been made when negotla ttNs are finally closed and the bridge "VnUHlly completed. According to Information glejined today the Willamette bridgo will have the long t draw spun in the world. Plans of the i-sttroHd company engineers show that Its length will be 1.22 feet, or two feet more -item the length of the immense bridge TeHSng the Missouri River at Omaha, wfltleh Ftrticturo holds the world's record Jr the present. In his telegram Engineer atotljwkl states that an upjxr deck will s4d from 23 to 30 per cent to the weight f the draw and that necessarily it could im be operated as rapidly and promptly js if lighter. Would I,cuyo Draw Oien. Another feature brought out yesterday was that If the bridge is constructed as a railroad bridge only, the draw may be kept open most of the time, excepting whan trainH are due to cross the river. If equipped with a highway for wagon traffic street-cars and pedestrian?, the tmw -would have to remain closed at all it mas excepting when permitting vessels twss up and down the river. Steam iHWlmon nay thnt with tho draw open ex cept when trains are crossing or about to cross, the bridge will practically "be no co ntraction at all to navigation, and it is tokod upon as a forceful ana logical ar jmnioHt against the upper-dee. proposi tion. In this connection President Levey tinted test night that his people are as naxtous us any one having interests In FrtlAd to see that the waterways are kept open, for the shipping of the port tew gret deal to do with the success ol Um railroads. In reference to the postponement of the efnroee and his telegram from Engi neer IoJo.kl.

President licvey Explains. Tte bridge proposed by tin I a doubW-traek brMgc. designed to carry the maximum rail way leads; overhead cross-bracing is required far thlfc purpow. The change to a double 4ck bridge would not permit the use of cwnrhead cro-braolng It would .therefore re unt the addition of such a Quantity of ma atrial that the weight of the draw would be Increased, in the estimation of our engineer, trom 25 to 30 per eent. The Increased weight ( the draw ouM necessarily remit in added !wjHifjj in opening It. "Willie we are extremely anxious to meet the ryquronie In susKetted by the Port or Port oj4. wo arc also anxious that the plan should fee practicable, so that the draw may be oper Md promptly without detention to veseU on Hie river, and, as the draw span will be the lcat and heaviest ever heretofore con Mmctcd. thore difficulties must be carefully WQMidered before Ilnal action is taken; and tar thin reason Captain Pease, president of the IHftrt of Portland, at our request, adjourned the mtln that was to have been held thin af ternoon In order that an opportunity might bo Uteraed for further investigation and consld ovation of the matter.

MUST RAISE BONUS Property-Owners Will Have to Pay $30,000 for Line. $10,000 ALREADY PLEDGED Portland Railway Company Stands Ready tp Make Extension If Those Benefited Help De fray the Cost. It is probable that the Portland Railway Company will extend Its street-car system to' Council Crest, and that the extension will be In operation by the early part of tho Summer. The company has offered to construct the lino if the property-owners who will be benefited -will furnish a bonus of about 130.000. Of this about $10. 000 was raised at a meeting of the property-owners held yesterday afternoon. It is believed that the entire amount will be raised this week. Several feasible routes have been suggested for the new line, and until the surveys and estimates are made the company will not be in a position to make a definite offer to the property-owners. The company Is In favor of the property owners furnishing the greater part of money necessary' to construct the line, as it believes it will lose money during the first few years that the line Is In opera tion. The property-owners have been given to understand that as soon as they have raised about $30,000 and the route Is selected, the construction of the lino will begin Immediately. Property-Owners Mccti. There were about 30 property-owners present at the meeting held yesterday afternoon In the oTflcc of tho American Investment Company, in the Sherlock building. I. A. Ycrcx. manager of the American Investment Company. Is one of the moving spirits in the raising of tho money, and one of the largest contribu tions has been made by him. While It is thought that the money can be raised, it is by no means assured. Practically all pf tho property-owners will have to do their share or the propo sition may fall through. Anothor meet ing will be held sometime this week, when It is believed that the money can be se cured. Annulment Park to Be Built. The Council Crest Amusement Company, which Is backed by Van W. Anderson and L. 1 Smith, will establish an amuse ment park on Council CrcsL It will cover about 27 acres, and a large um of money wlll be expended on It It will have at tractions similar to those found -In other amusement parks. Mr. Anderson and Mr. Smith expect to open their" resort this Summer. Part of the land on Council Crest will be platted off into lots for residences. President F. I. Fuller, of the Portland Street Railway Company, yesterday con firmed the statement that tho company stood ready and willing to construct the line if the nronertv-owners u-nnl.l niaa bonus. He said that he did not expect tnai tne line would be a paying invest ment for a year or more. During the Summer months he said It would edly be well patronized, -but not during the Winter. Xot until there Is quite a settlement on Council Crest does he be lieve mat me line win pay. To reach Council Crest a track nlwn n mile In length will have to be laid. It win oe very easy of construction, as In no place is there to be a grade of more than 7 per cent. WILL VISIT NORTH BANK Chief Engineer Darling; Leaves To day on Inspection Trip. TV. L. Darling, chief engineer of the Northern Pacific. accompanlod by Simms & Shields, contractors, who arc building the North Bank road, will leave Portland this morning by steam er for a trip up the Columbia to Ken- ncwlck. Wash., during which the work now being done on-the Portland & Se attle grades will be carefully Inspect cd. Stops will bo made at many points and the ground will be personally gone over by Mr. Darling to see that the terms of the contract are being strict ly complied with. Consultation with engineers In charge of the various sections of the work will be "held by the head of tho Northern Pacific's en gineering department and upon his re turn East he will make a report on It to his superiors. A special point of Interest to Mr. Darling will be Cape Horn, one of the scenic attractions of the river, where a tunnel Is now being driven through the solid rock. ThlB point Is doubly difficult for the Hill people because of the troublesome suits brought by the Wallula Pacific believed to be a Har rlman railroad, to hinder the work of the Portland & Seattle. The route across Cape Horn is Involved in a troublesome right-of-way contention between the two roads. That the grading by the contractors Is being done In a substantial way ac cording to the stipulations of the rail road and that the easy grades origin ally surveyed arc being secured will be looked after by Chief Engineer Dar ling. After completing his Inspection of the Portland & Seattle Railroad, Mr. Darling will go over the Lcwl?ton-Rt-paria extension to sec that the terms of the contract arc being compiled wrlth by Erlckson & Pctterson, the builders. Mr. Darling's private car will be sent from " Portland to the Sound over the Northern Pacific and thence down to Kcnnewlck, where It will await his coming and will take Mr. Darling back to SL Paul. PLANS OF MILWAUKEE ROAD General Agent Rotve Says "Work AVI11 Soon Be Started. H. S. Bowc. general agent for the Chicago, Milwaukee & SL Paul, re turned yesterday from the Sound, where he found engineers busy with surveys for the extension of the St. Paul to the Coast. "The franchise asked of the Seattle Council has been holding up the con struction of tho road." said Mr. Rowe, "but It is expected this will soon bo settled. Surveyors are working all the time on locating the best routes across the state. I presume the rails will be sent around the Horn from the East for the western end of the road and that laying of steel will be com menced at Seattle- and both ends of the work pushed at once. "A part of the big order of 125,000 tons of steel recently plaoed by the of ficials of the road will probably bo used In part for relaying somo of the tracks of the company. "Extensive new equipment Is being purchased by the road and bids are now being received for 2000 box-cars! Tho company has ordered tho follow ing equipment for construction at Its West Milwaukee shops: Six 60-foot postal jcars, 203 refrigerator cars, 200 vegetable cars, 15 30-foot standard ca boose . cars, two Lidgcrwood unloader cars, four slope lcvclers. two ditching machines and two. water care." "Will Announce Xcw Rate. A 75-ccnt rate on carload shipments of fcrro-slllcon and a tariff of $1.25 In less than carloads of the same com modity from Eastern defined territory to North Pacific Coast terminals will bo published In a few days by the O. R. & N. Co. There was formerly no rate to cover this commodity, which is used in iron manufacture to harden castings. The 35-cent rate on cement plaster from Blue Rapids, Kan., was to liavc been advanced to -40 cents, but the present rate will be continued until July 1. and the rate has bcon made to apply to all O. R. & N. points. It Is expected that a rate will soon be published by the O. R. & N. freight department of $2.60 per 100 pounds on launches, launch frames and motors In carloads having a minimum of 10.0Q0 pounds from Eastern defined territory to North Coast terminals. Previously motors were not shipped with the other launch materials and were brought west In less than carloads at S3. Alfalfa Seed Coming; Soon. Farmers who have taken contracts for cultivating the experimental alfalfa tracts In the Willamette Valley for tho Harrlman lines will be sent the seed for planting the tracts within two weeks. The Government agreed to fur nish 40 per cent of the seed required for the experiments and this has been sent for. It Is expected to arrive almost any day. The Government will also prcvldc bacteria culture for tho Inocu lation of the whole amount of seed. During the Summer an expert will be sent here to examine the tracts and make a report tothft Department of Agriculture. The seed will be planted about .April 10. Bl Railroad Contract Lot. The contract for the extension of the" Elgin-Joseph branch of the O. R. & N system 47 miles further from ltn pres ent point of completion at the Juncture of the Grand Ronde and Wallowa Riv ers, was let yesterday to Erlckson & Petterson, San Francisco contractors, who arc building the Joint Lewlston Rlparla extension for the O. R. & N. and Northern Pacific The Elgin-Joseph branch has already been complctod 1 miles. The entire extension of 63 miles Is expected to be In operation by the first of next year. Railroad Personals. J. C. Mayo, general passenger agent for the Astoria & Columbia River Rail road, was In Portland yestorday on business. Frank C O'Boyle. of Chicago, general manager of the Mark D. Butchcldcr Street-Car Advertising Company, was In Portland yesterday. W. E. Coman. assistant general freight agent for the Harrlman line In the Northwest. returned yesterday from San Francisco, where he went last week on business. COLD CREEK COMPANY'S MINES LEASED BY LOCAL MEN. Product' Will Be BrouRht to This City, a Distance of Sixty Miles, in Barpcs. The Cold Creek Coal &. Mining Com pany, compdsed of Captain S. P. and W. B. Jones and R. P. Rose, yesterday com pleted the leasing of the properties of the Cold Creek Mining Company, located on Cold Creek, Washington. 0) miles from Portland. C. H. Nichols, of Portland, was president, and E. J. McNary. of The Dalles, was secretary of the latter com pany, which owned the mines. The prop erty secured comprises a little over 3X0 acres of coal lands, the partly-opened coal mines, with the slopes, tracks, en gines, pumps and other machinery, and the lease Is expected to be replaced by purchase outright in the course of time. The new company will proceed at once with the work of opening the mines. The first step will be to clear the slopes of water with which the mine Is filled. This will take some time, but a pump and pow erful engine will be procured and set to work at once. Docks will be built on Cold Creek Slough, from which the coal may be loaded direct on barges for the Portland markcL It will require the ex penditure of considerable money at the start, but the new owners have every confidence In the value of their property. R. P. Rose, who experted many of the extensive coal mines In British Colum bia, visited and examined the Cold Creek mines a few days ago. and on his Judg ment the Investment was made. Mr. Rose says that the coal is of a fine quality and that the whole country Is underlaid with coal. It Is of a very hard qunllty. The company expects to furnish coal in Portland at a very low figure when the mine Is opened. LIVES IN 'A THRIVING CITY John SumiucrvlIIe, Pornicr Port lander, Tells of Edmonton. John Summcrvllle. formerly a well known business man of this city, who went to Alberta. N. W. T.. some four years ago. Is In the city on a pleasure trip. Mr. Summcrvllle was formerly of the firm of Brcyman & Summcrvllle. of this city, and Is at present engaged In the hardware business at the City of Edmon ton. He speaks In the most glowing terms of the prospects of Alberta In general and Edmonton In particular, for this Is prac tically new country and since several railways havo extended their linos Into that territory there has been a great boom In business and real estate at that city. The City of Edmonton Is situated on the banks of the Saskatchewan River, and directly across the river Is tho City of Calgary, which In the opinion of the former Portlander. will event ually be consolidated, forming a largo city. When Mr. Summervllle located at Edmonton, the town boasted of about 4000 Inhabitants and today the popula tion Is reckoned at over 12.000, or a triple growth In three years. "Alberta'Is the coming country' Mid Mr. Summcrvllle, "for the territory comprised within Its boundaries Is com posed of fertile and productive soil and for many years In the past a vast amount of acreage was used princi pally In the cattle-raising Industry, but of recent years, tho new blood entering the country has turned its attention to fanning, and many valuable ranches now occupy land which was formerly given over to roaming herds of cattle This latter Industry Is still being fos tered to a great extent, and between cattle and wheat shipments, tho vari ous railroads have found It extremely profitable to enter this country. We have branches of the Canadian Pacific, Canada & Northern and Grand Trunk systems, and It Is reported that James J. Hill is contemplating extending the Great Northern Into Alberta. "Municipal ownership Is quite a fac tor In the municipality of Edmonton, for tho city now controls Its electric light, water aad telephoae plants, and -very woman polished table collects so much dust in a day that she can write her name on it The same thing happens to a soda cracker exposed to the air sufficient reason for buying Uneeda Biscuit the only soda cracker.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL Few People Know How XJixful it In la Pre ervlns Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfect ant and purifier in nature, but few realise its value when taken Into the human system for the .same cleansing purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take .of it the better; It Is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs tho gases and Impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which collect In tho stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from tho poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money Is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges: they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form or rather In the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the char coal being mixed with honey. The dally use of these lozenges will soon tell In a much Improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and tho beauty of It Is that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but. on tho contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physician, in speaking o tho benefits of charcoal, says: I adiso Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bow els, and to clear the complexion and purify the bTeath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is greatly benefited by the dally use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drugstores, and although In some sense a patent prepara tion, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than In any of the ordinary charcoal' knows that 3 Buy Purer WHISKEY! paid la fnlL Established 1S66.
