John D. Isaacs, Hartiman En
gineer, Discusses Problem .
of Steel Bridge.
EXAMINE BED OF RIVER
Borings to Be Madj: In IJotcrniinc
Character f Foundations Needed
for New Span Difficulty in
Iouble-Icok Viaduct.
Expcrlmr-ntal horlnps In the river
bd alona-sMo of the Steer bridge will
be started within the next few days
by engineers of the Harrlman railroads
to determine the character of founda
tions they will have to deal with in
constructing the new Steel bridge. It
is expected Miat work will be com
menced on the new structure within,
the next few month?, as noon as the
boring and other preliminary work is
completed.
John D. Isaacs. eonsultinK engineer
for the Harrlman system, with offices
at Cliicasro. has heen In conference with
the IochI engineers on biiilpe matters
here and left last riicht in his private
car for California, whence he will re
turn to Chicago. Mr. Isaacs expects
to return to Portland in Alay or June.
"The character of the bridne to he
built will depend of course on several
things." paid Mr. Isaacs before leav
ing the city yesterday. "Amonjr them
is the character of foundations we find
in borlnc In the river bed. The en
gineers in charce here are fully ca
pable of determining the character of
structure needed and of erecting it.
Bridge Is Hard Problem.
"The fact that the bridge Is used
both by the general public In streetcar,
team and foot traffic, und by the rail
roads, makes a somewhat difficult
problem, for it seems to me very de
sirable that the public traffic, being on
the upper deck, should he disturbed
just as little as possible because of in
terruptions to the railroads, which are
on a lower ler-el and must necessarily
tie blocked whenever a boat of any
size at nil passes through the bridge.
If a bridge were built that had two
draw spans so that the general public
w'ould be delayed in crossing only oc
casionally, I think It would be a great
benefit.
If I were to decide the type of bridge
to be used, I believe I should choose
the double bascule type proposed. I
think, by Mr. Swigert. This scheme
Is for two bridges, one alongside Vie
other on the same piers, the railroad
bridge near the water on the required
level of the tracks on both sides of the
river, and the deck for public travel
high above the water level. If other
conditions yet to be determined favor
the erection of this type of structure.
I would favor It as against any other.
"I worked out a plan of my own for
replacing the Steel bridge that consist
ed of a combination cantilever and bas
cule draw span for the tipper bridge
and a swinging span for the lower.
But this. I have found, is not rigid
enough to bear the stress and strain
that would be put upon it In operation
and I think the other plan is better.
Ba.senles More Kxpenslve.
Bascule bridges are. of course, more
expensive flian the other type. First
they are more costly to build than the
swinging type, and there is a royalty
on the various kinds of bascule bridges
to be paid to the patentees. .
'I hope the borings in the river bot
tom will slow a stratum of cement
gravel at a reasonable depth for foun
dations. There are evidences of this,
as we hdve found on the river banks
In driving piling and we expect to find
it under the river. If we do, we can
safelv anchor the piers for the bridgi"."
Statistics kept by the Harrlman of
ficials show that the Steel bridge Is
opened about 100 times a day. while
train movements across the structure
do not number more than 40 during
the day. It will be seen that if the
double bridge were built, the draw
pan of the railroad bridge could be
left open much of the time and smaller
boats could pass up and down the river
without interfering with the upper deck
of the bridge at all. The number of
times of opening the bridge could be
materially cut down by means of the
double structure.
SEATTLE TO IIEI.P POKTTAVD
Will Co-operate In Trying fo Secure
Open Gateway.
That Seattle will work with Portland
!n trying to or n tljls gateway to trans
continental passenger travel is the mes
sage received here yesterday by Manager
Tnm Richardson, of the Commercial
Club, from I. A. Kadeau, director-general
of the Seattle fair. Mr. Nadeau
writes that the matter is one in which
the Seattle fair management will be glad
to co-operate. He says it is of the great
est importance, not only to the expo
sition, bat also to the entire community
that the Portland gateway be opened at
least on the hasis that passengers from
the East to the Sound may be ticketed
through without the necessity of ex
changing their tickets and rechecking
baggage.
An instance of the annoyance to travel
ers of the closed Portland gateway was
afforded here no later than yesterday,
when EX P. Blake, of Seattle, manager
of the Washington Logging Brokerage
Company, and president of the Pacific
Coast Ixgg!ng Congress, reached the city
on his way Kast. He had business here
that forced him to stop in Portland for
a day, but was refused a through ticket
only as far as Portland and was told
that here he" would have to recheck his
baggage and get another ticket for the
remainder of the Journey.
Mr. Blake had a friend who Intended
going East at the same time, but when
he learned of the inconvenience he would
be put to here, he changed his routing
and did not come through Portland.
MAY TAKE THE DALLES RUN
Humors That Steamer Telephone Is
. Considered.
There are persistent rumors along
tiie waterfront that opposition will be
put on the Portland-The Dalles run
during the coming Summex. It is said
that a syndicate is to be formed of
Interested persons in the proposed line
to take over the steamboat Telephone
on a charter for the season. The street
talk is that the largest tourist business
is to come to Portland during the Seat
tle fair- that has come this way for
years, and that the present transporta
tion companies will be unable to handle
all the Columbia River travel that is
rtain to be offered. This, among
utiier reasons, is given as foundation
00
BASCUL
for the report that the Telephone is
to be chartered or bought to Improve
the facilities for visitors to make the
"scenic' trip.
The Telephone has been out of com
mission for over a year, -but her owner
said yesterday that the steamboat may
be put into good shape inside of 14
days. No one whose name was men
tioned in connection with Uie proposed
opposition line was willing1: to furnish
facts regarding the formation of this
new ownership of tbe Telephone, but
at the same time would not say con
clusively that such a pftn was not
probable.

ANNUAL MEETING
OF GLUB TONIGHT
Multnomah Members to Elect
Trustees and Vote on
Realty Purchase. , '
KEEN INTEREST IS SHOWN
Fifteen Candidates Put I'p, or Whom
live Will Be Cliosen More
Land Needed for Athletic
Undertaking of. Club.
BY W. J. PETRAIN.
Every member of the Multnomah
Amateur Athletic Club is reminded that
his attendance, is desired at tbe annual
meeting of the club which will be held
in the gymnasium tonight." IFrom
among the following names placed, in
nomination by the regularly delegated
committee, five are to be chosen trus
tees of the club for the ensuing two
years: Edgar E. Fratik. Frank E.
Watkins. Charles E. McDonnell, Clifton
N". MeArthur. Martin T. Pratt, Dr. Ben
I Norden, A. II. Allen, F. A. Harmer,
Walter B. Honeyman, George Dekum,
George W. Gammie, T. H. Edwards,
J. H. McKenzie, W. B. Streeter and
Howard F. Gaylord. All the candi
dates are splendidly qualified to serve
the club in any official capacity and
the members will find it a difficult
task to pick out five of them as more
suitable for the positions than the ten
they will have to reject. The campaign
is being made in a mild way. and the
candidates having the greatest personal
following are likely to be the 'ones se
lected. However, the election "of officers is
not to be the most Important item to
come before the meeting of the club
men. The future advancement of tho
club is also at stake, for in a measure,
the proposed purchase of the King
tract adjoining the present site of the
club on the south Is pf vital Importance
to the progressive institution. The
reason why this property should be
purchased is summed up In a few words
a most notable lack of space now
prevailing at the club.
lloom Needed foT Large Plans.
While this is not of Itself a suf
ficient argument to Insure the assertion-'
that the ground 13 needed, It is
made stronger by the statement that
the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club,
which is the only purely athletic club
of any prominence in American ama
teur athletic circles, requires more
room to successfully carry on the grand
work it has set out to accomplish
that of educating and Increasing the
healthful athletic tendencies of the
young.
As an example of the lack of ac
commodations several hundred mem
bers of the club and their friends were
turned away from the doors on the
night that the young boys' and girls'
classes rendered their famous drill only
a few weeks ago. At this time, many
anxious parents, who desired to see
their young ones perform in the many
pretty and intricate drills formulated
by Professor Robert Krohn, went
away disappointed, and some of them
to this day do not realize what a great
good the club and its instructor have
done their children.
With increased facilities the club will
eventually be able to erect a larger and
amply commodious clubhouse where all
exercises or athletic programmes ar
ranged for can be conducted without
the slightest fear of being unable toi
accommodate the visitors. In that
event it will also be possible to turn
over the present quarters of the club
to the juniors and the ladies' annex,
the classes of each of these being
badly crowded for room and time at
present.
Xonathletic Element Active.
There are some few members of the
club who are Industriously' lobbying
against the purchase of this additional
property who are very poor contributors
to the good of the club cn their own
account. These men seem to think
that the money likely to be spent for
the acquisition of the much-needed
additional, acreage should be expend
ed for new and elaborate furnishings.
In arguing this way these men do not
take into consideration that the Mult
nomah Amateur Athletic Club ,1s In
corporated as an athletic institution
and not as an Institution which does
nothing but foster card-playing and so
cial frivolities.
The Multnomah Club has made a rec
ord of which it may well be proud, for
there Is no other single institution in the
t'nited States which had made it an
object to develop athletic young boys, and
the men who are responsible for formu
lating the plan to add to the club's fa
cilities have as their object the Increas
ing of this work of providing the oppor
tunity for the young boys and girls. With
such a magnificent stadium as would be
acquired by the joining of the present
grounds with that of the remainder of
the natural amphitheater which com
prises Multnomah Field, the boys and
youths from all over Portland would have
plenty of room on which to hold their
games, either together or separately as
may be desired. It would also Insure
the club of an additional nucleus of
youthful athletes who cannot be acquired
otherwise. Boys will always remember
any person or organization affording
them an opportunity of embracing some
cherished ambition, and it is the same
boys of today who will maintain the
Multnomah Club In years to come.
Large Monthly Kental Saved.
When the Multnomah Club occupied
leased quarters at Tenth and Yamhill
streets it was under a monthly expense
of $550 for rentals alone. Since moving

will be the additional site if sanctioned
by the club members, this expense has
been done away with and the money de
voted to paying off the interest and tn.
debtedness of. the present site. The ad
ditional site Is quoted to the club by
the King estate at $60,000. part of which
Is -to be paid down, while the balance Is
to be paid in a mortgage on the property
purchased. This mortgage will call for
li per .cent interest, which is hardly as
much as the club paid formerly in
monthly rental for the old building it
occupied.
In the past-two years the club has
cleared over $25,000. at which rate it can
be readily estimated that the entire in
debtedness will easily be liquidated in
less than ten years, which is the outside
limit. In addition, the club can makn
all needed improvements, quadruple its
present facilities, and commence the work
of promoting amateur athletics among
the juniors on a much larger scale than
ever before attempted by any athletic
club.
All members of the Multnomah Club
should be on hand tonight and vote ac
cording to their convictions on this big
proposition. '
CLUB WANTS MORE MAINS
DR.
RAFFETY HAS PLAX FOtt
SUPPLYING DISTRICT.
Kenilworth Improvement Associa
tion Goes Into Question of Bet- v
ter Supply of Water.
The Kenilworth Improvement Associa
tion, R. D. Merchant presiding, consid
ered the matter of an extra water main
for the territory south of Divislo street
at its meeting last night. Dr. C H.
Raffety. member of the Water Board,
set forth, what he considered the best
plan, to supply the district. This com
prises a system that will supply 10.000.000
gallons of water a day and will furnish
the Mount Scott, Woodstock, Kenilworth,
Midway and Sellwood districts.
He proposes that a 24-Inch main be
laid from the upper Mount Tabor reser
voir to the Powell Valley road. From
that point a 12-inch pipe line will supply
the Mount Scott district and a 20-inch
main is to be extended southwest for a
certain distance, when it is reduced to
a 16-inch main to Holgate and Mllwaukle
streets. From this point to and through
Sellwood a 12-Inch main is to be laid.
The cost is as follows: 24-inch main,
$26,200; 20-inch main, $20,000; 16-inch main,
$23,000; 12-Inch for the Sellwood exten
sion, $18,500: total, $90,00. These figures,
he said, wre not exact, but were ap
proximately correct, and would supply
the district for many years. Dr. Raf
fety said that under the present charter
such a system of pipe line would be paid
for by assessing the districts benefited,
but thought the cost per lot would be
small.
There was extended discussion of the
method of laying water mains. A senti
ment arose in favor of the old method,
or at least a change from the present
plan. It was decided to refer this big
pipe-line project to the new federation
of clubs in the Seventh ward, as the
whole ward Is interested in it.
A committee was appointed to ascer
tain the price of lots 1 and 2, block 9,
in Kenilworth, and submit a report to
the committee on ways and means of
the Council for the site of a fire engine
house. Also a committee was appointed
to ask the Council to proceed with the
Improvement of Powell street to East
Twenty-sixth street and to have a. con
crete sidewalk built around the Clinton
Kelly schoolhouse. The matter of a pub
lic park was considered, the sentiment
of the club being that a portion of the
Smith tract Is best. The cost is $1700
an acre.

Not only will
the Portland Railway,
Company bear all the

expense of repairing the Madison-street
bridge, so it can be thrown open to traffic
while the new bridge Is being built, but
it will give transfers to all East Side
passengers who desire to use the Mor
rison bridge in preference, in the event
the old structure at Madison street is
again put in commission.
President Josselyn, of the traction
company, has made this plain to the
East Side push clubs, with delegates from
which he has held personal conferences,
and he considers it likely that the clubs
will recall their recent vote to ask that
the bridge be condemned and request the
County Commissioners to open it for
traffic.
On the other hand, shouid the bridge be
closed while the new one is built, it looks
now as if the county will have to defend
itself in a lawsuit brought by the street
car company, for President Josselyn
says his company will have to defend its
rights In the matter. As the 1 company
has a franchise to operate cars across
the bridge for a period of about 13 years
yet. a suit will undoubtedly be brought
to keep the bridge in commission while
the new structure is being built.
Furthermore, the streetcar company
will not pay the tax of $18,000 a year for
the use of the new Madison bridge and
some change in the sum assessed for the
privilege of crossing the new structure
will have to be made or a fight will fol
low.
"I have agreed to the representatives
of the East Side push clubs that our com
pany would stand all the expense of
repairing the Madison bridge, if neces
sary," said President Josselyn, yester
day. "Not only that, but we stand ready
to give transfers around by the way of
the Morrison-street bridge to all our
patrons who desire them rather than to
travel by the Madison bridge. If the
authorities decide that the Madison
bridge will be braced and used while the
new bridge is being built, we must know
at once, so we can made our Summer
plans;
"If the present Madison bridge is not
opened, every day will be Sunday at The
Oaks this Summer. We will not try
to run The Oaks but will leave it open
as a park only, with no .amusements or
attractions there. We are now having
the park landsca; ed and the floral ar
rangements are being entirely changed,
so that it will be, when completed, one of
the biggest rose gardens in the world.
"The lumber in the Madison bridge Is
good for 15 years yet. I am told by the
company that manufactured it. It Is
what is called ship stuff, being free from
sap and heart and excellent durable tim
ber." .

Contracted Disorders
The' serious results that may follow neglect
of contracted diseases could scarcely be exag
gerated. Safety dernandsan absolutely thorough
cure In the least possible time. I have treated
more cases of contracted disorders than any
' i,vcilnn iin.ni the Pacific Coast. My
cures are thorough and arc accomplished In less
time than other forms of treatment require in
producing reven doubtful results. I employ
remedies of mv own devising, and my treat
ment is equally effective In both recent and
chronic cases.
I Treat Men Only
The vast multitude of men who have taken
my treatment have not been disappointed.
They know that I do not promise more than
I perform. To them I have actually Illus
trated in the cure of their own cases the truth
of what I claim, namely, that my treatment Is
as certain to cure as it Is that my patient
engages my services and follows my directions.
My success Is due not alone to education, ex
perience, skill and scientific equipment, but
to the fact that I limit my study and practice
strictlv to diseases' and weaknesses of men.
To male maladies alone I have earnestly and
exclusively devoted 25 years of my life, and
on them all my lacalties are concentrated.
Examination Free
I do not charge for advice, examination or diagnosis. If you call for
a private talk with me yon will not be urged to begin treatment. If
