GUARDING THE PIPELINE I2?ca WffSsttiK: ; Kimeu mai me uniiormuy or nature is unattended with exception, -while human testimony has ,been erroneous? Experience does not create trust In testi mony, but simply regulates It. Neither do we rely alone upon testimony for the fact that nature Is uniform in her opera tions. No person has the right to say that things have been, and will be as they are, for he has but little experience with the past, and none whatever with the future. Of course, Mr. Hume was simply begging the whole question. If there be a cause and a motive to produce a miracle, then welcome to it. Many of us do not think that a miracle to de ceive is to be as readily accepted as a miracle for a beneficent end, and to up hold moral government among men. The true question is, "Is it God or no God over the world? B. J. HOADL.EY." Little Danger of Fall Freshets En dangering: Portland's "Water Snpply From Ball Ran. GRESHAM, Or., Aug. 12. Ten men have been at work for two weeks past en deavoring to protect the Bull Run pipe line bridge across the Sandy River from the action of high water and 9udden freshets. The job they have on hand is a gigantic one and will take at least two months yet before it is completed, as it is 'intended to make the work permanent If possible. The county bridge, which Is but a few yards below the pipe-line bridge, will also receive a share of the attention, and It . is thought that the present operations will put both structures out of danger without future worry or apprehension. Last "Winter the county bridge came near falling into the river, the western bank having worn away so that the end of the span was almost ready to drop. It was saved in the nick of time by prompt work in putting a huge double bent under it, but so rapid was the work of erosion that where the end of tho bridge once was is now 15 feet over the river and the shore is connected with the bridge by an approach of that length. As the bank is 40 feet high, and apparently solid, it shows what tremendous effect the water has when the river is up to its highest mark. The two structures were protected con. slderably last "Winter by the building of a piling revetment along the shore line for a distance of 500 feet. It was made of two rows of piles about eight feet apart, lined with three-inch plank and filled with boulders. It was thought this protection would be sufficient, but the cur rent is so strong that the revetment Is being undermined and Its filling is settling so rapidly that the bank will begin cav ing again as soon as the water rises with the first freshet. The present work Is of a different nature and will probably have the effecllntended that of preventing the water from undermining the revetment and stopping the caving of the bank. - Present operations consist of making huge mats of poles and brush, securely wired together. They will be 20x50 feet in size, each constructed of 50 bundles. They are laid on sloping ways ready for launching when finished and will be se curely cross-lashed with poles. When launched they will be placed along the revetment and sunk to the bottom with many tons of rock. It will require elgllt of these mats and it takes a week- to make one of them and put it in place. Boulders are plentiful, but the water is 12 feet deep and the current swift, and it will take several hundred tons to do the work Intended. It is hoped that their weight will hold the mats down so firmly that the water will have no effect on the bank and that the current will be partially diverted to the opposite shore. Clackamas County, in which the bridges are located, is bearing a portion of the expense, as the county bridge Is really In the most danger at present, and Its' de struction would be a serious inconvenience to a large settlement. Superintendent Frank T. Dodge was out yesterday looking after the work, which is in charge of Inspector T. J. Maupln and John Travello, as foreman. A mess house has been put up, where the men live -while at -work, and operations will be pushed so as to have the structures thoroughly protected before the Fall rains shall come. OVERLOOKED PORTLAND. Army Officers at Seattle Trying to Discriminate Against This Port. At the meeting of the trustees of the Chamber of Commerce this morning the manner in which the Quartermaster at Seattle has discriminated against this port in regard to the proper shipping of 1500 or 2000 tons of oats, will receive at tention. Quartermaster Ruhlln, of Seattle, a few days ago wrote to J. W. Jacobs, Chief Quartermaster here, asking him to re quest proposals from shipping firms for space on ship to take this quantity of oats from Seattle or Tacoma to Manila, the ship to sail about August 15. Mr. Ruhlln wanted the name of tho ship, her capacity, amount of space, rate per ton, weight or measure, number of days al lowed for loading, discharging and de murrage, the ship to load on Puget Sound and the Government to discharge at Manila. Henry Hahn, president of the Chamber of Commerce. In speaking of the matter yesterday said: "We must find out why Portland has not been mentioned In the list of cities from which this shipment may be made, as tho oats can be ob tained here on more reasonable terms than at either Tacoma or Seattle. Port land dealers are certainly in as good position to furnish these supplies as those of Puget Sound." The Portland & Asiatic Steamship Com pany Is taking large consignments of freight of this character direct from Portland to 'Manila, and the War Depart ment will probably be made acquainted with this fact, in time to permit this city to compete with other ports for tho privilege of making this shipment of oats to Manila.
