VIADUCT WILL BE BUILT When East Approach to Burnside Bridge Is Reconstructed Cross way Will Extendi Owr East Second Street for Tracks. Titer is considerable activity In the railroad district between Union avenue and the Willamette River. New tracks are being laid northward from Burn rid bridge and nils are brine made. Much material is being; assembled in the territory south of Kast Burnside Ftreet for trackage. The O.-W. It. & X. Is laying; track north of the East .Md approach to Burnside bridge on both Kast First and East Second streets. On East First the new track on the west side of the street Is being eon ttnued northward, so that practically all the space on the street is occupied. On East Second1 a new track is being laid from Sullivan s Gulch to the Bum- side bridge approach. There will be three tracks on the street soon. The depressions along the east side of East Second street are being filled up between the bridge approach and Sullivan's Gulch with material taken from th basement of buildings In dif ferent portions of the city. Viaduct to Br Bolll. When the east approach to the Burn lide bridge is rebuilt a viaduct will be "uilt over East Second street to permit several tracks to be built underneath to the freight depot on East Oak. An entirely new approach will be built shortly after the Rose Festival, at which time the viaducts over East Sec ond and East First streets will be re newed and widened. On the freight depot grounds be tween Burnside bridge approach and East Oak street a number of Improve ments hiTi been mad for the handling of freight In the way of a wider road way on the north side of the freight house. It is considered probable that this freight depot will have to be enlarged some time during the year to care for the Increasing business that Is being handled there. This freight-house Is proving a great boon to East Side re tall shippers, in the saving of time and expense of hauling goods across the! unK. to xne west ssiae. South of East Morrison street, where the. Spokane. Portland & Seattle Rail way Is preparing to establish freight facilities, ties and Iron have been as sembled, but no track has yet been laid and probably will not be until the con troversy over the use of the railroad bridge by the Hill lines has been set tled. Ail the blocks owned by ' the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway have been filled to grade and the track may be laid at any time to the site of the freight-house. The H1U invasion of the East Side Is considered of great importance to that portion of the city by residents there. However, they say "Let all lines come In on the same basis." "We want the East Side to be the railway gateway to Portland." said I M. Lepper, chairman of the transporta tion committees of the Greater East Side and East Side Business Men's Club. UXIOV COIXEGE IXFEASIBLE Situation to Be Further Considered by Federated) Commissioners. Through the aotton of the confer ence of the Evangelical Association at Salem, the establishment of a feder ated standard college at Philomath with the present Philomath Col leg of the United Brethren Church as the basis, was made practically im possible on the plan suggested by the commissioners of the United Brethren, united Evangelical Church and Evan gellcal Association. The commission located the union college at Philomath as the cltlxens of that place complied with the financial requirements. At a closed session of the Oregon Conference of the Evangelical Asso elation Friday night the conference declined to Indorse the location of the union college at Philomath and the requirement that the conference raise tsO.000 endowment. It waa the sens of the conference that with the heavy burdens the evangelical Association is carrying on the Coast and In the East ?ia or Fortiana mat ,tne Oregon Con ference could not assume to rals so large a sum of money at this time. Rv. C. C. Poling, of this city, vie-. president of the federated commission, submitted two propositions in lieu of the Philomath location. One was to establish a Bible school and depart ment In connection with Willamette University, according to the sugges tions of President Fletcher Moman and the other was to establish a union col lege in an entirely new district, where the need of such colloge is apparent. Rev. Mr. Poling said yesterday that he had received no answer to either of these propositions. Whatever the final outcome may be the schools at Dallas, of the United Evangelical Church, and at Philomath, of the United Brethren Church, will remain separate. A meeting of the federated commis sioners has been called In Portland for the night of June 2 to further con sider the situation. The annual con ference of the United Brethren Church will convena at Tillamook Juno 4 and will discuss the Union school question. Bishop William Bell, who will preside. is a strong advocate of federation of tn colleges in Oregon. CANVASS FOR FTXDS STARTS LEAGUE MEETS TONIGHT WOODSTOCK VOTERS WORKING FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT.

" JURYTOURS CHINATOWN FEDERAL ' PROBERS LEARN MYSTERIES OF NORTH END. Secret Underground Passages, Bar ricades, Sliding Panels and Hidden Door Found. Spring-field Resident Dies. SPRINGFIELD. Or., May 13. (Spe cial.) Myron Johnson, an old resident of this city, died at his home on East Main street yesterday at the age of 73 years. He loaves a wife and an adopted son. He came to Springfield many years ago. ' He was a membei of the local post of G. A. R., having fought in many of the important bat tles of the Civil War. The funerai will be held Wednesday, with Inter ment i nthe Laurel Grove cemetery. Many of the mysteries of Portland's Chinatown were revealed to the mem bers of the United States grand jury. who, under the leadership of Harry Strowbridge. of the United States Cus toms Service, accompanied by United States Inspectors J. D. Boyer, H. J. Heppner, M. Gallagher and W. B. Crewdson and Patrolmen Long, Martin and Moe, visited the part of Chinatown lying along Fourth street in the North End. The party was guided Into a Chinese store and then a march through heavy barricades, secret passagewags. down in basements, along tunnels and through secret doors, began. Not until the last of over 100 secret rooms had been examined was any contraband found, and this was a small amount of opium which a Chinese was In the act of smoking. The barricades in the passageways leading from the gambling rooms caused the Jurymen to marvel at their strength. Always there would be two sets of extra thick doors having bolts one inch in diameter and 15 inches long. and a peephole immediately leading from the playroom. Then there would be a passageway in the cellar leading through the entire block. The passage ways had as many as three heavy doors with secret locks within four feet. The various means of opening ths doors were by sliding a panel in the wall several feet away which would ex pose a rope, and this rope would open the latch or bolt. Sometimes there would be a number of nailheads ex posed and one of these might be pulled out and a cord attached would open the door. Again a hole might be found which by inserting a nail into same would form an electric current which would open a secret panel large enough to walk through. , Condon to Pave Main Street.
