How Old This Biudge Is. A city repair
gang was out yesterday building- barri
cades across Second street at each end of
the yawning chasm which the bridge
across Marquam's gulch used to span. It
Is probable that a bent of the south end
of the bridge which did not fall will have
to be pulled down, as it is considered dan
gerous. A number of people gathered
while the gang was at work, to look at
tne ruins of the bridge, and all were sur
prised to see how rotten the timbers were.
The old decking has been held together
by tne rails of a double track railway
spiked to ltr but all the timbers of the
structure are broken up, and ,the deck lies
almost flat on the ground, and looks as 1
It had been a suspension bridge, held up
by the railroad tracks, which had parted
at the north end and let the decking go
down. The spectators got into a dispute ;
in regard to the age of the fallen bridge.
The ends of the stringers were in sight
yellow and rotten throughout, and some
Insisted that the bridge must be 17 years
old. Others said it was 14 and othere only
13 years old. The fact is that the bridge
was completed in May, 1890, and so would
have been 13 years old next May. William
Flicdner, who lives near the fallen bridge,
was a member of the Council when it was
built. He says Councilman John Holland
insisted on having the bridge supported
by piles, which have rotted away and let
the structure down. He says Portland Is
no longer a village and that the cost' of
filling in all elevated roadways in the
city should be ascertained, and then the
city bonded for money enough to pay for
the work, and then there would be no
more trouble from rotten bridges.
Make Room for the "Whale. Colonel
It. L. Hawkins was hard at work yester
day endeavoring to get the monstrous
whale's skull, which has been lying on
the sidewalk in front of the City Hall,
placed inside, as he says it looks as if
wet weather is coming on. He says the
skull weighs 1300 pounds, and he thinks it
is the largest in the country. The late
mists have started a crop of grass grow
ing in level areas on the skull, and if it
te not put under cover, it will be neces
sary to keep a man running a lawnmower
over it all Winter. Colonel Hawkins will
endeavor to lay open the brain cavity in
this big skull, which will hold about half
a bushel. He says that, while a whale is
the largest of animals, it has the smallest
brain of any animal In proportion to its
size. The humming-bird is the opposite
of this, and, if it was as big as a whale,
and its brain kept in the same propor
tion as it now has, the brain of a hum-mlng-.bird
would load a freight car. One
reason why a whale needs so little brain
Is because it is .nearly all blubber, and if
it had brains on the scale of a humming
bird it would be subject to nervous pros
tration, and never could get fat.
Where the Dirt Came From. No
street in the business part of town has a
progressive appearance these days, un
less it is blocked or blockaded in some
way. There is no difficulty in getting this
done, as there are so many ways of ob
structing streets. A teamster who was
stopped on Yamhill street near Fourth,
yesterday, by teams hauling away a huge
mound of earth, was .a-MUIe put out. He
could see no place from which the earth
had been excavated, aru It looked to him
as if it had just beeh dumped there in
order to be hauled away again. He finally
ascertained that it had been gophered out
from under the Turn Halle, where a large
basement is being made for a wine cellar.
The earth is boosted up through the side
walk and dumped on the street and makes
just as much of a mess and as great a
fuss with teams and teamsters In getting
it cleared away as if an excavation was
being made for a million-dollar building.
It keeps Yamhill street up to date and a
lot of men and teams busy.
Putting in Double Track. Street
railway Improvements are the order of tho
day In all parts of the city; so no one is
surprised to see the single track of tho
Portland Railway Company on Sherman
street, from Fourth to Second, being
moved to one side so that a second track
can be put in. The company's Fifth
street line turns down Sherman to Sec
ond, out Second to Sheridan and down
Sheridan to First, where it ends for the
present, pending the receiving of a right
to cross First-etreet bridge into Southern
Portland. People along the line imagine
that the fact that First-street bridge is to
be repaired and opened to travel before
long ts why the track on Sherman street
is being made double, and that tho com
pany will be renewing the effort to get
right of way to Southern Portland as soon
as the bridge is opened.
Removing Trinity Church: Windows.
The stained glass windows of the Trin
ity Church are being removed, prepara
tory to the destruction of the old church.
They are among the most valuable exte
rior portions of the building, and will be
used in the new structure at Eighteenth
and Washington streets. The skyline
along Sixth street will be materially
changed when the 140-foot steeple of the
Trinity Church is removed, for the edifice
has long neen one of the landmarks of
that part of the city. As the work of
demolition will soon commence, the ce
ment sidewalk in front of the church
property of Sixth street has not been laid,
and pedestrians are still forced to walk
either in the mud or in the crowded street.
First Inteiiest Payment Soon. The
great Beech-street sewer, which cost near
ly $70,000, was completed early last De
cember. The 700 or more Interested prop
erty-owners who had their property
bonded for their shares of the cost of the
sewer will soon have the first Installment
of interest to pay on these bonds. This
interest amounts to about $4500. and all
who have portions of this sum to pay
may confidently look forward to receiving
a notice requesting them to call at the
City Treasurer's offlce and pay up, som
time before the 1st of December The $4500
divided among 700 persons will not make
a very large share for each to pay.

ter artisan, Francis I. McKenna; supreme

Officers for Club Journal. At a di
rectors' meeting of the Club Journal Pub
lishing Company yesterday, Mrs. Lischen
M. Miller was elected a member of the
board or directors to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Mrs. J. C. Card.
Mrs. Adolph A. Dekum was elected to All
Mrs. Card's unexpired term as vice-president.
Needlework Guild Receives Dona
tions. The Portland branch of the Nee
dlework Guild of America is receiving its
annual donations in the Worcester build
ing. The purpose of the guild is to. col
lect garments for the various public in
stitutions and for the poor, and although
they have been very quiet about it during
the past- year the women of the organiza
tion are known to have done a great
deal of good. Anyone is at liberty to
contribute, the only requirement being
that the articles brought In be new. To
become a member of the guild two arti
cles of clothing are to be contributed or
a donation of money made, the same to
be done yearly. There are no dues nor
fines, and applications for membership
may be made at any time to any of the
o'fflcers. Mrs. H. W. Corbett is the hon
orary president, and the other officers
arc as follows: Mrs. J. S. Reid. president;
Mrs. A. A. Courtney. Secretary; Mrs.
George W. Collins, treasurer.
Taxable Telegraph Business. The
statement made before the Council com
mittee on licenses by the representative
of the Postal Telegraph Company that the
annual receipts of the company taxable
in Portland were only about $1647, while
the annual expenditures of the company
in Portland were about $20,000, is not clear
without explanation. It is not contended
that Interstate business can be taxed
under the ordinances of Portland. Only
the business done in Portland that does
not cross the state line can be reached by
the occupation tax, and that is the busi
ness which is represented in the case of
the Po3tal Telegraph Company by the
$1647. The expenditures cover the total
expenses of the Portland offlce, which
handles both Interstate and local business.
It Is not practicable to say how much of
this Is properly chargea'ble to local busi
ness and how much to Interstate.
Used 3003 Piles Ferguson & Hous
ton arc making rapid progress on
their contract for driving the piling foun
dation for the American Can Company's
factory at Front and Fourteenth street.
They have a section on the north side of
the property 115x190 feet completed. The -J
piles are placed eight feet apart. They
have also 0x90 feet on the north side
completed, where the piles are only three
feet from center to center. Many old river
men and wharf men look with astonish
ment on this track, which has required so
many blows from the pile-driver, and say
they never saw so many piles driven to
so small a space before. Over 2000 piles
will " be used by Ferguson &
Houston on their present contract. They
will get a floating driver to work next
week, and the work will then proceed
faster than ever.
INQUIRT FOR MISSING PEOPLE. The po
lice received three letters yesterday. In
which inquiry was made regarding miss
ing people supposed to be In this city.
Lawyer A. B. Treadwell, San Francisco,
wrote asking about Henry Kullbaum or
Beck, who worked here for. the O. R. &
N. Co. as machinist In 1894. Kullbaum
has come into the possession of prop
erty. C. W. Ballow, Toka postofflce, Hal
lfno County, Texas, wants to find his
son, T. Witt Ballow, who left several
weeks ago with his wife and child to
settle in this city. Mrs. Jennie M. Story,
Pendleton, wishes the address of her
son, who recently left home in company
with John Robblns, who belongs to the
Salvation Army, and has not since been
heard from.
Sabbath Observance Discussed. At
the regular meeting of the Council of
Jewish Women yesterday afternoon, tho
topic of discussion was "Reasons Why
the Jews Should Observe the Sabbath on
Saturday." Mrs. R. Abramson and Mrs.
J. Kramer read interesting papers on this
subject and afterwards the members of
the council joined in a general discussion.
The meeting was well attended and sev
eral of the speakers expressed them
selves very emphatically on the subject
of the day. Music formed an acceptable
part of the programme. Miss Adele Wel
llsch, of San Francisco, rendered "11 Tro
vatore" as a violin solo and Mrs. Frank
King, of Los Angeles, sang Otto Foote's.
"Love Me If I Live."

Symphony In B flat Schubert
Allegro. Andante con rr.oto. Menuetto.
Allegro vivace.
From a music-lover's standpoint, the
first concert of the fourth season of the
Portland Symphony Orchestra, given last
night before a brilliant audience at the
Marquam Grand Theater, was a most en
joyable one. The programme had noth
ing very showy about it, and on that ac
count did not Instantly appeal to the pop
ular taste of those people who neithei
sing nor play. It was emphatically a
quiet, studious programme of artistic ex
cellence, although not a number of the
orchestra's selections was encored. Ed
gar E. Coursen, conductor, achieved new
laurels.
These In the orchestra were:
Violins, Mr. and Mrs. R. L. .Hidden,
Carl Denton, Mrs. Sherman D. Brown,
Lcroy Gesner, Elizabeth Bang, Anton
Zllm, Claireta Dumars. Henry Metzger. O.
Rankin, H. C. Gardner and Jes3ie Gill;
violas. Fred Richter, H. C. Kay, P. Timm.
Bessie Brown and H. W. Webber; 'cel
los. Ferdinand Konrad and Fritz Zllm;
basses, G. Bertram and M. D. Macdonald;
flutes, J. A. Straub and Paul Bathe;
oboes, T. W. Searle and Roy Russell:
clarionets. M. B. Palaclos and N. Hodg
son; bassoon, L. H. Jones: cornets, Harry
Samuels and A. G. Parrott; French horns,
John Everest and William Bentley; trom
bones, B. L: Brown, A. De Caprio and
John Whan; drums, W. T. Pangle and
A! E. Everest.
Speaking critically, the most ambitious
and fcest-played number was Schubert's
symphony in B flat major, composed in
the year 1816. It is a bit of curiosity In
its way, being a symphony In which
neither trumpets nor drum3 are played in
the orchestra. The lead in the allegro
movement opens with flute, oboe and ba
soon, and the motif is a dlgnlfled, grand
one. But the gem is in the mlnuetto
movement, the .theme being a quaint one,
and. curiously enough, the one air occur
ring and recurring through it seems to
have formed the groundwork for a well
known nursery rhyme. In the allegro vi
vace, one is reminded of ballet music,
because of the daintiness and grace of
the composition, and "the absence of tem
pestuous finale. Volkman's string
serenade, and Dvorak's two Slavonic
dances were 'delightfully played, and had
a charm all their own. The overture to
Athalla, by Mendelssohn, opens with a
fine, religious theme, with a - welcome
phrase, like the grasp of a friend's hand,
coming and going as if unwilling to leave.
It was a pleasure to hear such careful
muslcianly work.
The soloist was Carrie Brown Dexter,'
soprano coloratura, San Francisco. She
has a light, flexible, high voice, which she
uses with rare skill, and deserves credit
for her trilling, the ease with which she
touches notes above tipstaff up to high
C, and her warm interpretation. Better
work In shading has rarely been heard in
this city than in her "Monotone," by Cor
nelius. She captured her audience with
gay humor and dainty singing in Deliebes
"Les Filles de Cadiz." Four bouquets
were her reward, and In response to a
warm recall she gave Mayhew's "Shoogy
Shoo." She was at her best in the po
lacca from Thomas' "Mlgnon," and tho
ease with which she took delicious runs
anfl trills, especially in piano effect,
brought her another encore, "Love - Is
a Bubble," by Allltson. Mrs. Dextor's
personality and songs wjere as charming
as her lovely gown of white satin, and
It will be a real pleasure to hear such
dainty, refined singing again.
Unqualified Success.
The unqualified success of the produc
tion of "Held by the Enemy" by the Nelll
Stock Company, at the Baker Theater,
this week, Is denoted by the crowded
houses which greet every performance,
and the immense demand for seats for
every night in the week as well as for
Saturday matinee.
In this great war drama the members of
the Neill Stock Company are to be high
ly complimented for their splendid delin
eation of the various characters of the
play. Charles Wyngate gives a most
pleasing interpretation of the Industrious
correspondent for a magazine, a part
which in the. hands of any one but a fin
ished actor would be entirely inconsist
ent. In spite of the fact that, as In'most
war dramas, the best parts are for men,
Miss Countiss. as Rachel McCreery, has
achieved a success that is decidedly pro
nounced. The hero of this piece Is en
tirely different from the heroes of tho
average play. Inasmuch as he is not con
stantly doing some great deed to foil the
villain, giving him the usual opportunities
to make grandstand plays, which never
fail to increase his popularity with th
audience. Colonel Prescott, the hero in
"Held by the Enemy," must legitimately
win every point of admiration from the
audience, which Mr. Bernard, in his splen
did rendition of the character, does in a
way that leaves no room for doubt as to
his ability as a finished actor.
Miss Esmond also comes in for an un
limited share of praise for her charming
portrayal of Susan McCreery, a young
Southern girl, her dialect and manner
Isms being perfect to a pronounced de
gree. The rest of the cast are equally
successful in roles which do not call for
so much prominence, although they are
extremely necessary to the plot.
Of the stage and scenic effects too much
cannot be said, and there is a question if
there has ever been produced In the
Northwest a more realistic war drama.

CORNER THIRD AND
MORRISON STREETS
next week, starting with Sunday matinee,
will be the many elegant dresses worn by
thu ladles of the Neill Stock Company.
From the rise of the curtain on. the first
act until the end of the performance the
stage will be a scene of elegance and
splendor, 'not only with regard to cos
tumes, but scenery and furnishings.
Every lady in the company will display
some of the most elaborate", costumes seen
In Portland theatricals this season. Miss
Catherine Countiss, in the part of Mrs.
Hillary, a young and susceptible widow,
who is also a leader, In the Washington
smart set, will. In the first act, wear a
coiitume which, for magnificence and ele
gance, has seldom been excelled. It being
a creation of a -wonderful richness, at the
same time having no resemblance to
gaudy- show so often a fault with elab
orate stage costumes. This ,beautiful
gown, which was imported from Paris, 'is
of cream Angora cloth, trimmed with
mink fur and Irish point lace. This, to
gether with apple-green velvet over a
petticoat of orange silk, makes a com
bination of richness and elegance to be
admired. A hat of apple-green velvet will
be worn with this magnificent gown, mak
ing a complete creation bf loveliness that
is almost gorgeous. In the fourth act
Miss Countiss will wear an old rose pink
silk crone over white silk, accompanied
by trimmings in cream lace and black j
panne velvet. This, accompanied by a
picture hat of cream Irish point lace, with
plumes of black and cream, together with
a silk and chiffon boa and a muff of
cream and black, makes a most charming
and fashionable creation. This gown is
also an importation frcm Paris.
"The Senator" gives splendid oppor
tunities for elegant dressing, and the
members of the Nelll Stock Company will
leave nothing undone to comply with the
requirements of the piece, either in cos
tuming or acting.
Special Interest is being shown in the
production of "The Senator." and the lady
patrons of the Baker Theater In particu
lar are making early demands at the box
office for seats, so that next week's
audiences -will be exceptionally fashion
able beyond a doubt, for in all cases
where It is known that a play Is to be
put on in which beautiful gowns are to be
worn the ladles in the audiences are de
sirous of doing their part toward making
the scene in front of the curtain as well
as the stage an array of beauty and
splendor.

nican's Ball," which will be presented at
Cordray's Theater tonight, tomorrow night
anI Saturday, both afternoon and night.
There are few enough of the true and
really strong farce comedies being pre
sented in these latter days, and the en
gagement of the company which will give
life and reason to the screaming eccen
tricities of the various character of this
old friend should Insure it a warm recep
tion from our theater-goers.

an artist especially engaged for his or
her peculiar fitness for the role assigned.

people as Gallagher and Barrett, the
"Tossing Austins," Fannie Trumbull, Kate

the most familiar and one of the best
liked of all comedy-dramas. "Yon Yon
son" Is now in his 11th year of unin
terrupted success. The play possesses in
itself a very strong dramatic interest, as
It is filled with situations which are both
humorous and sentimental. The character
of Yon Yonson represents In a faithful
manner a quiet, simple-minded. Inoffensive
Swede, who in his own way tries to make
a living in this country without offending
or injuring the next man. It is said that
the actor who has been cast for the role
of Yon Yonson this year, Nelse Erick
son, succeeds .In giving a faithful and
clear-cut Impersonation of a Swedish Im
migrant possessing these qualifications.

gether with Mr. Erlckson are such well
known people as Harry Bond, Harry B.
Roche, Florence Gear, Pattl Rosa and

As to Wet Feet
Probably there is no caution given
by a doctor to his. patients which is
so important or so constantly re
peated as the command to a girl not
to get her feet wet.
A long train of ills follows upon wet
feet, and the health of many a
woman has been undermined by
neglect of this.
With women wet feet are not the
result of storms for then rubbers
are worn. They are the result of
unexpected showers when no rub
bers are at hand. The best protec
tion is a- pair of "Queen Quality"
water-proof shoes light in weight,
