On the other Jiand, Christian Rak

the Russian' financial situation In

ity to allude to disarmament, which
the Russians are contending should
hare a place on the agenda.
Russian liudtfet Lauded. '
He wanted the world to know that
the Russian budget was In a very
favorable condition, as six-sevenths
of the expense was covered by ordi
nary reveuue, and only the remain
ing seventh was met by the Issue of
paper currency.
After making the statement that
In two years the Russian army had
been decreased from 6, 360, 000 to
1,450.000, he said:
"Russia already has disarmed, but
all will be useless unless the great
masses of gold which really belong
to all countries shall be distributed
fairly. Instead of being concentrated
In the hands of a few nations."
Kuill GlucKstadt, Danish delegate,
who was a member of the commis

situation In Austria, urged the im
perative necessity of returning rap
idly to the gold standard as the real
basis of world currency, and thus
bringing about equilibrium In the
budgets. He emphasized the neces
sity of adopting special measures to
restore credit In countries like Ger

Indications are that work will be
started at once on the I'mpqua Park
bridge, providing unexpected compli
cations do not arise. The county
road viewers are scheduled to meet
en April 19 and view out a road of
easement across the river. In this
case the county takes no responsibil
ity nnd assumes no liability for the
bridge, merely giving to Stanley W.
Taylor, who Is to build tho bridge,
the right to cross private and county
land by paying bucIi dumngos as may
be decided upon. The only possiblo
objection that can be expected, It Is
stated. Is on the part of the railroad
company, but as the road Is to be
built underneath the trestle and as
this plan was once proposed by the
company, no serious objection Is ex
pected from that source.
It Is proposed to construct a coun-l
ty road from the low point of the
Pacific highway to the railroad tres
tle. Mill street is also to be, graded
down to nice; this road. The bridge
will start from underneath the tres
tle at a height of 18 feet above the
low water mark, and will slope grad
ually to the opposite bank reaching
a point of 31 feet above the low
water mark on the other side. The
west end will be about a hnlf block
up stream from Portland avenue
which was tbo road with which the
old bridge connected, and will have
an attractive approach leading from
Portland avenue and from the street
paralleling the river.
The bridge will be built uponhea(y
Concrete piers of which there wllj be
more than were used In the old
bridge. The structure Is to be made
heavy nnd much stronger than the
ordinary typo of wooden bridge. Al
though the structure is safely above
the extreme high water mark It Is
being so constructed that an unusunl
ly high water will not take it out.
The spans will be short and each will
lit- semi-Independent of the other, so!
that lu tbo event of an uncxpeited
high water and damage to one span
the others will not be affected to any1
marked degree.
The bridge will be of tho deck!
typo with no superstructure. All!
supporting timbers will be beneath I
the bridge Rnd thero will be no over-;
head trussing. The roadway will he;
It! feet In width paved with asphalt
to reduce vibrallun. On each sidel
there will ve seven foot sidewalks lo)
accomodate foot passengers. Every
timber which Is to enter Into the con-i
stiuctlon ot the bridge, will be treat
ed with creosolo, Mr. Taylor says, in
order to prevent decay.
Mr. Tavlor says that as soon as ho
has secured the desired road from the
ounty and has the right to go ahead
without Interference from any source,
be will start purcitasing the materials
for the bridge and expects to have
everything on tho ground by the time
tho water becomes low enough to
permit work. As soon as weather
conditions will permit, construction
will be started, he Bays, and the work
will be rushed to an early comple
tion. It Is hoped to have the brldgo
In readiness for use by August 15;
and this. It Is believed, can be done,
providing weather conditions are
good and the water level Is low
enough to permit work early ln the
summer.
Mr. Taylor, who Is constructing the
bridge as a private enterprise, is the
owner of the beautiful Umpqua Park
Addition, which ho expects to open
up as a residence tract. This Is one
of the most attractive pieces of land
In this vicinity and Is ideal for resi
dence property. It has all been
platted and Is being sold ln lots and
some very choice sections have al
ready been disposed of.
A portion of the tract was donated
to the city by S. D. Evans, and Mr.
Taylor ln return for building the
bridge has been granted the conces
sions In the park until such time as
the city Is In a position to reimburse
him for his expenditure.
Ho proposes to put In bath houses,
boat houses, refreshment stands,
amusement devices and many fea
tures for the entertainment of visit
ors to tho park.
The bridge will probably not bo In
