THIRD TUBE UNDER RIVER West Side Will Be Given Another Pipe to Provide for Future and Guard Against Accident Me ter System Is Costly. Continued Frnm First Page.) Department, although it must technically be done by the City Engineer. Only One Line Now. The bursting of one of the large tubes that carried the supply from the East Side to the West Side, which occurred recently, is one reason for the decision to construct another main across the river. However, the principal reason for the action is that in years to come it will be necessary to use the additional pipe in supplying the West Side. With the large pipe out of commission, as it has been for several months, there is but one other tube to be depended upon. If anything should happen to this one, the entire supply of Bull Run would be cut off on the West Side, and it would be come necessary to use river water. The new pipe will, therefore, serve to obviate any such a situation as this. Clarke Has Drawings Iteady. The greatest undertaking of the board, of course, is the construction of the sec ond pipe line from Bull Run River, for which the large bond issue was made. The work will be done under the di rection of the Board, through Chief En gineer Clarke. assisted by Engineer Thomson of Seattle. Mr. Thomson will act very largely in an advisory capa city. He will inspect the ground along which the pipe will be laid, and will also look over Engineer Clarke's plans and specifications, and make any sug gestions he deems wise. Mr. Thomson's opinion will be given great weight by the members of the Board, who, yesterday afternoon, went on record as having full confidence in him as an engineer competent to judge such matters. Having installed Seattle's gravity system, from Cedar River, Mr. Thomson is regarded as, perhaps, the best available man for" consulting en gineer on the Portland project. Mr. Thomson has also made considerable of a study of the local system, being greatly interested in it from an en gineering standpoint, when it was put in. He went over the work very care fully, according to statements made yes terday afternoon at the meeting of the Board. All Agree on Thompson. Dr. C. H. Raffety, who presided at the meeting yesterday. Mayor Lane being absent, declared himself fully satisfied with Engineer Clarke's ability to con struct the new pipe line, but said that he regarded it as necessary to have a com petent consulting engineer, and that he thought Mr. Thomson about the best man for the position. R. B. Lamson. Judge G. W. Allen and J. E. Hart, the other members, expressed similar views. Mr. Thomsons proposition to the Board is considered by the members as exceptionally reasonable, especially since there is said to be no doubt as to his ability to pass upon .this kind of work. He asked J25CO for all that he is to do in connection with the project Superintendent Dodge recommended the employment of Ave more meter read ers and inspectors of meters, but the impression seemed to prevail among the members of the Board that the limit has been reached In this matter. While the Portland Gas Company employs four men to read 2fi.tmo meters everv month, the Water Board employs 12 men to read and Inspect meters in the same time. I.amson Wants Xew System. This comparison was made by Mr Lamson. who said that. In his opinion! some now system of handling the meters should be evolved and put into force Mr. Dodge withdrew his application, in view of the attitude of the Board. He was allowed one more $100 a month clerk for the East Side office, at the request of rr. Raffety. The business of that branch is inrrenshig very fast. Kids for installing 6000 meters were opened by the Board during the after noon session. The bid of Hilondon & Clark, of Portland, for $17,000, will prob be, accpI1t,?rt- Th matter was deferred until the next regular meeting, which will occur next Tuesday. The meter system is fast running Into large sums of money, but the members of the Board declared that they feel justified in hand ing the system in this manner, because.

WATKISS, AVERAGE 18 TO 20 TO BOX. Some of the largest and finest strawberries ever seen in Portland are already being brought to the local market by J. F. Watkins from his farm near Hillsdale, three and a quarter miles from the Courthouse, on the old Slavin road. The berries which Mr. Watkins brought in yesterday averaged from 18 to 20 in a box. In flavor they could not possibly be excelled. The berries are of the Marshall variety. Mr. Watkins has an acre and a half of two - year - old vines which are growing in a black sandy loam with a clay subsoil.. The weather of the past two days has been very conducive to fast ripening. Mr. Watkins is now receiving 20 cents a box wholesale, and for his first load he received 35 cents, so that will make a large profit on his small tract. LIKE OLD CHUMS Sperry and Uryu Sit Side by Side at Banquet. BOTH PLEDGE FRIENDSHIP Japan's Debt to America Freely Ac knowledged Sperry Predicts ITnbreakable Friendship Between Nations. XEW YORK. June 1. Vice-Admiral Uryu, of the Japanese navy, and his old friend, Rear-Admiral Charles S. Sperry, who brought his globe-trotting United States battleship fleet back from the Pa cific, sat side by side tonight at the Hotel Astoria as the guests of honor at a dinner given by the Japanese Society of New York. The speeches of Admirals Uryu and Sperry were both brief. "We are fighting men, not talking men," said the Japanese Admiral. "As an Annapolis graduate, I am very deeply indebted to your country. Our whole na tion, too. owes much to America- We shall repay you with lasting respect and friendship." Rear-Admiral Sperry spoke of the hos pitality which Japan showed to the men of the battleship fleet during their stay there. "Never was there such good fellowship or such understanding between two na tions," he said, "as was evidenced at that time. The kindness of Japan on that occasion will do much to bring the two nations into unbreakable alliance of friendship and good will." Huntington Wilson made a brief speech in Japanese, which was a pleasant sur prise to the Japanese guests. BURGLARS GET $20,000 ALKI POINT THIEVES MAKE ' RICH HAIL. Money Left Vnder Pillow Is Taken.

XI AT GOODWIN, ever young and fair il and all that sort of thing:, with the Goodwin mannerisms, which seem as unchanged and unchanging as the firm ament. You know Nat. If you don't what's the use of free schools and other eleemosynary Institutions? For more years than hiB beautiful, statuesque leading woman has lived Brother Good win has. been sprinkling sunshine up and down the highways and byways of this, his own and incidentally his native land. He has sprinkled some in other lands, also, which is another and sadder story- He has also sprinkled some Shakespeare but I shall spare you some of the horrible and revolting details. Goodwin is an American Institution something like the liberty bell, the trusts and others. As an exponent of the kind of comedy which we of these United States cotton to, he ranks as one of the original confections. Every once In awhile he gets mad at the stage; he s hud such a difficult job trying to elevate it during these several years, that it's no wonder. Then Nat gathers his doll-rags together and goes off to Nevada, Kamchatka, or some place and becomes a mining magnate. or a cattle king, or an lrrigationist mag nate. But ever and anon both almost every season in fact, he comes back to his friends, the theatergoing public, and then once more there is joy. Co-starring- with i-dna Goodrich, an es tablished beauty on two continents and the present Mrs. Goodwin, the imperish able favorite arrived in Portland, one of his homes, yesterday and last night at tne tiaker presented his newest play, "The Easterner." He demonstrated, as John Warden, that he is the same Good win we have known for a decade. True. the part of the shrewd Eastern capital ist, wno manes a frontier Californian sit up and take notice of him and his irrigation projects and his loyalty to his trienas, his courage as an impromntu sheriff and many other perfectly marvel lous things, is far from strong. It will not be remembered as one of Mr. Good win's big roles, but it serves its pur pose and that Is quite enough, provid ing Friend Goodwin is In the part. He was received in the most friendly man ner by his audience last night and his ercorts were certainly sufficiently ap- Miss Goodrich. looking more stiinnlnir. ly lovely even than on her former visit to Portland, has a nice role as Grace Jiorton, w..o goes West In search of a black-sheep brother and finds hth ih brother and Nat.

She was entirely equal to her part and does much to '"e ine Easterner" Interesting. The supporting company contains Neil O'Brien, a splendid actor, who ha al ways to be reckoned with, no matter how he may be cast. He plays the old sheriff nuiim ituiy. n,nwara w. Morrison, as a treacherous "greaser," gives a good ac count of himself, and a number of others acquit themselves well. The play is by Broadhurst, who has written a number of the biggest successes In recent years. It is not his master work, but it will do if you are not too a itieal. It will be repeated Thursday f"000- Tonight and tomorrow night The Genius," a corking good farce, will be presented by the Goodwin forces. In future Chinese government dispatches will be forwarded by post instead of by courier, and It U expected that 150.000 a year will thus be saved.

Sailing from Antwerp July 18, 190S. the British bark Gulf Stream finally reached this port yesterday. Under com mand of Captain David Nlchol, the ves sel had the misfortune to meet with heavy weather on her early voyage and was compelled to put in at Port Stan ley, Falkland Islands, practically stripped of her top rigging. xne vessel remained at Port Stanley until' February 15. when she was In shape to proceed on her voyage. She had an uneventful trip with the excep tion of running Into light winds after approaching and leaving the Cape. STEAMER tN TFXLIGENCE. Due to Arrive. From. Name. Data. Areo Tillamook. ...

UTILIZE SIBMARIXE SIGNALS Hj-drographlc Office Makes Interest ing Report on Experiments. Possibly one of the most Interest ing essays put out by the United States Hydrographlc Office and on file at the branch office in the Custom House for public distribution, is that on subma rine signals. Since men grew from boys and have known of the carrying power of water through the experiment of clicking stones together under water, the prin ciples of submarine signaling has been known, but, strange to say, it was left for this late date to harness that natu ral property and make it of the great est usefulness to seagoing commerce. An apparatus has been devised which is placed in the foremost lower part of the ship's bows. Within this box Is what Is known as a microphone, il very delicate affair which detects sound waves. A bell is used in a sea buoy, for instance, a buoy placed near dan gerous rocks. This buoy has a bell within it. under the water, which gives out strokes at intervals chosen by the installers of the bell. The intervals are known to all navigators from the publications of the Hydrographlc Of fice. On a foggy day when the sea captain cannot see the land, he hears this bell ringing, the sound being trans ported through the water and taken up by his microphone, then through electric wires to an arrangement in the pilothouse which resembles a tele phone. By using this apparatus a sea cap tain, fog-bound, can pick up a subma rine fogbell, locate his position upon a chart and direct his course clear of dangers In the direction which he de sires to sail. A vessel with no apparatus can also, sometimes, hear -the fogbell sound un der water in the lower parts of the ship. This Is of great value to all coasters, sail or steam, which have not been fitted with the instruments. NO FEARS OF JTJXE RISE Weather Bureau Officials Say Alarming Signs Not in Evidence. According to the reports received at the local Weather Bureau, the stage of water in the Willamette will remain practically stationary for the next few days, although there may be a slight rise tomorrow. From the Umatilla and Snake the reports are that the water is falling. Mr. Beals said yesterday that from what he could figure out from his reports there is nothing alarming in the outlook for an unusual June freshet, but at the same time Captain Archie Pease, of the pilots' office, said he could see nothing but prospect of very high water some time In the near future. It Is evident that railroad officials fear an unusual stage of water, for in quiries have come to local officials from headquarters to send In daily reports as to the prospect of the terminal yards being overflowed when the customary June rise appears. $35,0 00 LIBEL CASE READY Loss of Solano to Be Settled in Ta coma Court. HOQUIAM, Wash., June 1. (Special.) It Is stated that the libel case of Captain W. H. Wood, of San Francisco, against the Grays Harbor Tugboat Company for $35,000. will begin in the Federal Court at Tacoma, before Judge Donworth. some time during this month.
