Co-oper-to la Forcing Issue Broadway bridge obstructionists will be mad defendants In a suit for dam ares to be brought by the city. If the resolatloa which will be presented to the City Council at Its next meeting by Councilman Menefee la adopted Mr. Menefee will base his resolution on the decision given Saturday mora ine by Presiding; Judge Gantenbeln. who issued a permanent order restrain lng the obstructionists from beginning any mors vexatious suits against the Broadway bridge project. The court refused to restrain the obstructionists from circulating false reports about the bridge or the bonds to be sold for It. on the ground that the city had "a speedy and adequate remedy at law In the form of damage suit." for In jury resulting from false representa tions. Improvement Clubs Slay Aid. M. G. Munlr. head of the North-Ea.t Sitle Improvement Association. said yrsterday that his organisation would take the project up also, and an effort Is to be made to get other Improvement organisations throughout the city to lend their moral support to the fight of the city against the men who have been Injuring Its bridge project. Mr. Munly estimated that the city has already lost at least 10.000 In the depreciation of Its bridge bonds through the action of the foes of the bridge. He said he believed that the taxpayers of the city were entitled to remuneration.' While Mr. Menefee has not deter mined how much damages the city rhould ask In Its suit, be made It evi dent yesterday that be wss In favor of making It a large sura. It Is Mr. Menefee's opinion that the general credit of the city has suffered much. In addition to the amount lost by the depreciation of the sal of bridge i bonds. Tber Is no doubt." said Mr. Men ' ere, "that the fight against the.brldg bonds has had Its effect also on the ' water bonds, which were Issued under th earn general circumstances. It .' would be hard to calculate the entire ! amount of financial loss to th city ! brought about by th men who have been fighting th sale of the Broadway bridge bonds. I shall submit a resolu tion to th Council at Its meeting a week from next Wednesday, authoris ing the City Attorney to begin suit for damages against th men who have caused this loss." When speaking about the plan of nresentinr th suit far dun.. to J the attention of th Improvement or ganizations. Judge Munly had not learned about Mr. Menefee's determi nation to take th issue before th Council. Mr. Menefee quoted th vari ous bids to show how th bonds dropped flv points as a result of th misleading representations that bad been made concerning them. "It ta time this bushwhacking n th city stopped." said Mr. Munly. "and I think there is no better way to end It than to collect damages for what th obstructionists have done. It has developed In th suit th city brought to restrain them that they did not like to be sued any better than any on ise. "W shall try to get the present Council to act, and If we fall in our efforts then we shall take up th sub- jci ok cringing a aamage sun wixn th new council when It comes in."

Prinevllle May Be Made Terminus of Branch, bnt Definite Prom ise Is Xot Made Oregon FJectric Plans Walt. Wonderful changes as compared with the condition of Central Oregon a year ago wera noted by Louis W. Hill, presi dent of the Great Northern Railway, on his tour of the interior portion of the state, from which he returned yester day morning. Future transportation even more re markable Is predicted by Mr. Hill, as well as by Carl R. Gray, president of the North Bank road; George B. Harris, chairman of the board of directors of the Burlington system, and others who accompanied him on his recent trip. Mr. Hill visited Bend, Prinevllle. Burns. "Bill" Hanley's ranch, and other inter ior points on the anniversary of his last Journey through the same district. "I was not so much surprised at the changes we saw in the towns and new settlements- that have sprung up as the result of building the railroad," he eald yesterday, "but I was almost startled to see the great difference in the rural districts. "Last year the only place where we saw homeeteaders at work was at Fort Rock. Thia year we saw them every where. We learned that many others have filed but not yet started to build their homes. Publicity Mast Continue. 'A big start was made this year In settling the remote portions of Central Oregon. Now we will have to keep It up. Oregon will have to continue its publicity campaign to attract settlers. In this work the Portland Commercial Club has been well In the forefront. Wherever we went we found eager In quiries for C. C. Chapman, manager of tne publicity worn or the Portland club. They appreciate the work that Mr. Chap man and the Portland commercial in terests have done. "The most crying need of the interior, however. Is people. Every town and city is planning to bring In additional set tlers. At several places we met with the commercial clubs and discussed witli them the plan they have In preparation to have the land taken up. All these organizations spoke of the work done by the Portland Commercial Club and the Chamber of Commerce." Crops in Central Oregon are looking splendid, reported Mr. Hill. The season Is two weeks later this year than in 1910. Last year the season was two weeks in advance of the normal. This year it is normal. In the five days that the party was away from Portland the members trav eled more than 600 miles by automobile. This gave Mr. Hill an opportunity of studying the road situation. He is a motor enthusiast and carries his own machine with him. Central Oregon, he declared, had better roads than those parts of the state having railroads. In their tour, using two machine, they had only one puncture. Many Acres Now Productive. Tonnage of agricultural products from the interior will be much greater this year, than a year ago, he predicts. He saw thousands of acres of wheat and alfalfa that were barren last year. One day of the tour was spent in the big timber country near Sisters. Timber such as the party saw there would be worth from 13 to 15 a thousand In Wash ington, he .asserted. Mr. Harris said that all this timber would be bought in the Mississippi Valley. Construction of Independent logging roads from these timbered areas to con nect with the Oregon Trunk will bo un dertaken in the next few years. The Hill Interests, however, do not contem plate further development In mid-state very soon. They are looking toward Prinevllle as a possible terminus for a branch, but have not promised that line for any definite time. "The people of Prinevllle have been patient with us for a long time," de clared Mr. Hill. "We won't promise them a road until we are actually ready to build it. Then we shall build as soon as we promise. "There Is considerable territory In Central Oregon now that might Justify the construction of new railroads, but It is another thing to get the money to build It with." Orchards to Be Visited. Mr. Hill and party left last night for Seattle, where they will remain today. They will spend a day in the vicinity of Wenatchee, Wash., to inspect the or chard districts and then will continue East. Inspection of the Oregon Electric, as originally planned, will not be attempted this time. Mr. Gray, who remained in Portand to begin his new duties, will take a trip over that road as soon as be find? it convenient. The failure of Mr. Hill to accompany Mr. Gray over this line, he admitted, meant practically the abandonment of the plans to extend the road to Eugene this year. .In spite of the recent utterances of Julius Kruttschnitt, vice-president of the Harriman system, implying that the Union depot situation in Portland was virtually in the hands of- the Hill inter ests, Mr. Hill talked discouragingly of a Union depot project. He said that even though the two systems agreed on a construction policy, it would be Im possible for them to agree on the way the station should be managed after it was completed. He. spoke favorably of the erection of an independent depot by the Hill forces. f "My earnest wish Is that the next time I come to Portland the city will have taken a long step toward the erec tion of a permanent and suitable audi torium," he said before leaving. "I understand that they have chosen the St. Paul auditorium as a model for the proposed local building. They can't make a mistake If they follow that course." Mr. Gray has fully recovered from his recent illness, and will be regularly at his office in the future. "My trip to Central Oregon," he said last night, "taught me that It Is no place for a trifler. or an adventurer. That country needs a lot of hard work ers and intelligent methods. Success awaits them.'" GREETING IS PREPARED Entertainment of Woodrow Wilson In Portland la Arranged. All plans for the entertainment of Woodrow Wilson have been completed and in addition to the regular pro gramme tho Portland Press Club has expressed a desire to be host to the distinguished visitor at its clubrooms In the Elks' building. It is understood that the Governor has the most of Fri day at his disposal should ha accept the newspapermen's invitation. Mr. Wilson will arrive next Thurs day morning at 7:30 o'clock and will be met at the depot by President Beck wlth, of the Commercial Club, and a number of the members of the commit tee of arrangements. The Governor and his party will be escorted to the Port land Hotel in automobiles. The "pro gressive dinner" of W. S. U'Ren will be given at noon. Two hundred will attend that function. The formal banquet will be held In the evening at the Commercial Club at 7 o'clock.' Saturday night Governor Wilson will be dinner guest of Prince ton men at the University Club. Then the Governor will be escorted to the Armory, where the chief address of his visit will be delivered. He will leave Saturday night for Seattle. 231 WASHINGTON ST. PORTLAND ORtGOtt.
