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.

Met After Fifteen Years.
NEW YORK, Aug. 12. A special from
Atlantic City. N. J., to the World says
that Rpbert Wilson, a wealthy Texas oil
operator, discovered at that Summer re
sort his brother Henry, from whom he had
separated 15 years bpfore In Nashua, N.
H., and of whom he had heard nothing
during that time. Mr. Wilson and his
bride of two weeks were passing a booth
when the strains of music reached their
ears. Mr. Wilson Induced his bride and
a friend to go in and there found his
brother and his wife. The recognition waa
mutual. Fifteen years ago the brothers
were in the marble business in Nashua,
N H. As the result of a misunderstand
ing, Robert Wilson left home. He went
to Reading, Pa., and from there to Gal
veston, where he became interested in
ranches and oil properties In company
with Joe Davis. Henry Wilson is now- a
business man in Boston.
