Iloldea made a plea to the Civil Service Commission yesterday to pass the -reinstatement rule.' for hi exclusive benefit, this rule providing that any person separated from the service through no fault or mleconcrurt of hla own. may be reinstated by the Commission, that his name shall be held on a list aeparate from that of those who have taken examinations, and that a toon aa a vacancy occur he h:i be preferred for the appoint ment. Ills request for reinstatement found but little favor with Commissioners T.osrait and Armstrong. Commissioner Wl :i had not then arrived. The meeting was set for Mil o'clock, half an hour earlier than usual, and It waa about 3 1S o'clock when Holden ap peared before the two Commissioners. The procee.'insrs yesterday were In tended to be secret. After the raeetlnr adjourned tie held a whispered conference with Mayor Rushlight. U-S-rlwrstx Owew First. When It was susreste.l to Holden that InsteaJ of passing- the "reinstate ment rule' all that la necessary Is to Increase the ag. limit to permit him to take another examination, and In thla wav be reinstated In the department. llMn demurred. "I dlsarree with Tea." he said. Tor If you raise the ace limit to allow me In the department you will then take In other m-n whona you don't viant In the department, you will then ice: a lot of oM f:.o In who are ready to die. I don't want to co In on that basis." Commissioner 1. can Insisted that In dividual preference must give way to the good of the department.

"Wouldn't yoa take an experienced man In preference to a man of no ex perience?" demanded Holden. -1 am over 4S years old." "Hut In this Instance It Is not giving a reward for merit." answered Mr. Le vari. "When a man leaves the depart ment the men below him move up. Then If he comes back he takes a place which son:, other man, a man who has remained In the department and doc faithful service, should have." Reemlc Ba fee ervtee. "It would be d'.scouras-lnir to the rank and Ale of those mho are working ex pectlnc protno'lon." said CommisMoner Arms trees;. "Trey would nrd that pro. motion In theory Is not promotion In fact, because some one who ha previ ously held position Is put on a pre ferred list. A man goes out and make a venture In a private enterprise. He ha been In the employ of the city un der the civil serv;ce ru'es snd he holds ti the old position with one hand. If Ms venture Is a success, well sail ar''i for htm: and If be falls, he haa the knowledge that he can at any time re enter the clty'i employ under the civil service rules, and that or a preferred list. To my mind, such an arrange ment would defeat the very object of the civil service system, which is to g've reward for merit." Mr. Uisn said that If Holden want ed to take his chances In the ordinary way. by examination. It mtaht be a dlf. feper.t qi:est!on, and H-lden at first a creed that he would Ilk a chance to "heat te other boy out. open and above board." Relaatateasent Tele Waits. Tnen the only thlnc necessary wou!d be to change ti e are limit so as to ret you wttntn tre scc-pe." sarrested Mr. Armstrong. To thla Holden objected. But he said almost in the same breath that he would be willing to atart with a position as hoseman. If necessary, to obtain a position In the department. Mr. Armstrong; said he had heard nothing aralnst Holden's work, but that Holden wasn't satisfied with It, thourht he could do better oualde the department and that relnatatement was out of the question. No definite action on the reinstatement rule waa taken yesterday, however, to rive tha Mayor a chance to appoint a Are chief first. BROADWAY SPAN RUSHED Bridge Committee) 'Deports Work and rinds It Proi:re.sing. Mayor Rushlight, T. Soils Cohen and John B. Coffey, of the bridge committee of the Executive Board, visited the site of the new Broadway bridge yes terday. They found the work of put ting down the pier progressing well, and received the assurance of the con tractors that the work will be finished by December 1. a month 'before the contract expire. The Mayor believes, however, that the work will not be finished much ahead of the contract time. The abutments on each aid of the river are practically finished, setting of the steel cylinders ready to receive the steel of the bridge foundation being the only work remaining to be done. The north retaining wall on the East Side la under construction, and pile are to be driven for putting; In the south retaining wall. Before thla work Is completed a house which now stand In the way must be moved. Pier No. f. on the East Side, ha been sealed. Elrhteen courses of gTan lte have been laid on the cement foun dation. Pier No. S la not yet sealed. Nine courses of stone have been thus far Irtld on It and about SI course probably will have to be laid to make these pier of the proper height. It I thought that It will be necessary to go 10 feet farther down with Pier No. 5 to get a proper foundation, and that this work can be done and the pier ealed in a week or ten day. City Engineer Hurlburt to whom the superstructure plans were referred, will report to the. bridge committee next Thursday. He aay the plana call for an exceptionally artistic structure.

To repave the bridge 281.000 blocks are necessary.

" TRADE EXPANSION M 1 In the City of Portland 1 Hrskell Son Adv. Agener To the President of the Portland Oommerdal Clnh: Your attention is respectfully directed to "Trade Expansion in the City of Portland," No. 2 and 3, which will appear in the daily papers of this city tomorrow and the day following. Also to the extraordinary announcement which will follow on Sunday' morning, October 8. . ' . The only object in addressing you is that yon and your associates may know that your efforts to promote commercial expansion in Port land are bearing fruit in various ways. To the People of Portland: Every man, woman and child tn Portland has his charities at least a desire to do something in the way of charity each year. While the expense of the project involved in the "Trade Expansion" enterprise to be launched by Portland merchants will be carried by the merchants themselves, the character of the proposition makes it possible for all to have a part in the work. Every reader of this paper will therefore be vitally interested in the unfolding of the plan, which will permit them to help in any desired degree all without one cent of cost to anyone. To the Clergy of Portland: Consider this as formal notice to you that for the next few days there will appear in this space some mighty interesting news to you and to every member of your congregation. It wil be news of a char acter that will inspire some of you with increased efforts, and some with entirely new efforts, along a line in which every church is inter ested. Upon you, to some extent, will depend the result, just as upon you depends the result of leadership in anything your church attempts, only that in this matter your congregation will want to do more of the work than is usually the case. Success for you and yours will ' therefore depend largely upon your qualities of generalship. Portland, Or, October 5, 1911.
