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 Levy said:
I im'vf ben whanging tolcgranip with our
He In tlio Rant, and twfore definite oon--4vWhi

tvndtn, JH rani, where h can discus the
ittn wttli the Grwit Northern jteopl and
nttfc Mr. M4Jikl, the bridge fnglneer.
I ant today Jn receipt of telegram from
Mr. Mofjenkt In -which he xpre?ies grave
ttuMbt an to the practicability of carrying
mm ovorhrad deck on a draw span of the pro
mmxhI length made heavy enough to carry
Mcfcvuay and street -car traffic.
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.
President Levey left for Southern Cali
fornia lat night to meet his family, who
we sojourning there, and will possibly be
gone, two or three weeks. In the mean
time. James B. Kerr, chief counsel for tho

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.

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

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'
