' Preparing Map or Btvxr Chaxxel. A
party detailed by Cily Engineer Elliott
yesterday 1egan taking soundings along
the channel of the Willamette for a mile
above and half a mile belo'w the Morrf-fon-street
bridge, preparatory to prepar
ing the map which must be submitted to
the United States Engineers and be ap
proved by the "War Department before
the work of constructing a new bridge at
Morrison street can be besun. The party
Is in charge of John R, Hansen, and Is
furnished with a good big rowboat. tran
sit, sextant and all apparatus necessary
to secure data for preparing a map show
ing the topography of the bottom of the
river as exactly as if It were dry land. It
will not be practicable to use any chain
men, as the water Is ?0 feet in depth on
the ground to bo charted. This work will
"be no small Job. Flnit. soundings will be
taken to And where the channel is, this
being a point In which the Government is
particularly Interested Then cork floats,
with small flags, will be put out to ascer
tain the exact course of the current. The
harbor lines and wharf lines will also
have to be laid out a'nd In the end the
whole platted on a snail scale. This will
take three or four weeks, probably, and
the map when completed will be submit
ted to Captain Lanirfltt, "United States
Engineer, for his approval. The city au
thorities have but little doubt as to the
plans for the new bridge at Morrison
street being approved by the Government,
as the piers are to be located farther
apart, thus giving a trider opening for the
passage of vessels. ?he water Is so deep
that shipping will not be impeded. In
order to be certain that no harm can come
to navigation by the construction of the
proposed new bridge, the Government re
quires the survey and chart to be made.

Anxioub to Have Street Bridge Re
paired. A large number of property-own- j
ers are very anxious to have the bridge
on East Eighth ' street, between East
Caruthers and Clinton streets, which aas
Just been closed, put in order as soon as
possible, as East Eighth, street is an im
portant thoroughfare. They will prob
ably apply to the Council for assistance
in this matter, as the Job will be Quite an
expensive one, the cost being more than
the City Engineer has any idea that the
Executive Beard will be willing to appro
priate out of their limited street repair
fund. The bridge Is 570 feet long, and the
roadway is 36 feet in width. The roadway
planking is badly worn, and the; super
structure, wnicn is 3t teet in height,
needs some repairs. The new roadway
will require about 2,000 feet of 35-foot
Dlanks. which cost 114.50 per thousand.
amounting to $11$. Thirteen kegs of
spikes will cost $39, and labor 400. making
the total cost of the new roadway H62S.
The property-owners are probably" correct
in the idea that the Executive Board will
decline to draw on the limited street re
pair fund for the sum necessary to put
this bridge in order, and they will hasten
to ask the Council for assistance before
others in the same situation apply.

MONEY SYSTEM FOR CHINA
France and Rnrtalo. "Would. Benin on
Sllve-r Baal sd Work up to Gold.
PARIS, Aug., 2C The report of the
French Commission appointed to confer
with the United States Monetary Ex
change Commissioners has been delivered
to Ambassador Porter. It contains a note
from Foreign Minister Dclcasse saying
France Is not prepared to express bind
lng conclusions until she has consulted
with the powers. The report Indorses the
principle of a gold standard for China and
other silver-using countries, but it points
out that the plan is possible only under
judicious control of the coinage by the
government and the creation of an ade
quate gold reserve. It favors a coinage
ratio for the Orient, fixlnsr the face
value of silver slightly above its bullion
vallue, similar to the American system in
the Philippines.
The French commission makes reserva
tion upon the proposed regular purchase
of sliver, on the ground that it is Impos
sible to foresee the country's need for
subsidiary and colonial coinage.
Semi-official advices from Russia Indi
cate that the commission appointed by
Finance Minster Wltte has adopted a
similar conclusion. The French and Rus
sians considerlt preferable to establish a
uniform system in China by beginning on
a silver basis and afterward raising it to
a fixed gold value, than to begin on a gold
standard immediately.

CASTSJiERSELF IN SLOUGH
MRS. HAXXAH MOLA2TDER. EXDS
HER LIFE.
SaXeriBt? From Insanity, Ske Eludes
Hex Watchful Sister and Seeks
a. "Watery Grave
Eluding her watchful sister, -Mrs. Han
nah Molander slipped from, the residence
of S. Peterson, S59 Michigan avenue Sun
day night and was forced by a demented
mind to end her life by casting herself
Into a slough near the Portland flouring
mills. The body, floating face downwards.
was found yesterday afternoon by Mrs. J.
Millard and her two little daughters.
Mrs. Molander was the wife of Andrew
Molander, of La Center. Wash. She was
brought to the home of her sister. Mrs.
Peterson, last Tuescay, and was then
known to be suffering from a mild form of
insanity. The Petersons watched her
carefully though they did not fear she
would make any atempt upon her life.
Sunday evening Mrs. Molander made a
number of efforts to get the Petersons
out of the way for a time. Finally she
succeeded and faking the best of the op
portunity slipped from a rear door and
vanished In the growing darkness.
The police were at once notified of the
disappearance of the demented woman and
the patrolmen of the East Side were in
structed to be on the watch for her. Noth
ing was seen of Mrs. Molander, however,
until her body was discovered yesterday
afternoon by Mrs. J. Millard, who with
two little girls was walking along the
bank of the slough midway between the
new dry dock Bite and the Portland flour
ing mills.
Preparatory to casting herself Into the
muddy water. Mrs. Molander had removed
her hat and black jacket. These lying upon
the low bank were the first evidences of
he suicide. "When Mrs. Millard saw the
clothes she looked over the slough more
carefully and at once saw the body of Mrs.
Molander floating upon the water, 12 feet
from the bank.
Supported by the air in her clothes the
body of the self-slain woman had not sunk
below the surface since she threw nerseii
headlong from the bank, presumably Sun
day night. The slough Is not more tnan a
mile from the house on Michigan avenue,
but in a neighborhood little frequented by
any one, so the floating body thus escaped
notice until yesterday.
Coroner Flnley was at once notified ana
took charge of the remains. The funeral
will be held this afternoon from the Flnley
chanel. The Interment will be In Green
wood cemetery, where Mrs. Molanders
father and former husband, D. F. Jacob-
sen, are burled.
Mrs. Hannah Molander was 06 years oia.
Her mother. Mrs. Carlton, lives at S50
Corbett street.
Coroner Flnley made a thorough Inves
tigation of tho case and was satisfied that
the woman nad committed suiciae. o in
quest will therefore be held.

STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.
Gresham Residence Is Set on Fire by
Electric Bolt.
GRESHAM, Or.. Aug. 26. (Special.)
During a severe thunder storm the resi
dence of Johnson Cleveland at this olace
was struck by lightning and set on fire.
The electric bolt struck the roof and went
through Into the parlor, where it shat
tered a studding between two windows
and passed through the floor Into the ;
ground. The windows were not Injured,
but the Inside of the room was soon In
flames, and considerable damage was done
to the building and furniture before the '
fire was extinguished. Mrs. Cleveland was i
alone In another part of the house, but
was unaware that anything had happened
until neighbors come to put out the fire.
Such a small hole was made In the roof
by the lightning that It could scarcely be
found, but the west wall of the building
was badly damaged. The building was
Insured in the McMlnnvllle Company,
which promptly adjusted the loss and paid
tho damages, although It does not insure
against lightning. Such freaks of the
elements are very rare here, this being
tho flrst of the kind ever known in this
vicinity, although trees are sometimes
struck by lightning during such electrical
disturbances.
Tlemakexs Dissatisfied. '
The tie mills of Eastern Multnomah
County are all running again -and deliver
ing their products at Troutdale, but their
cwners are dissatisfied with the small
victory the railroad companies -gained over
them last month when they were all shut
down for several weeks. The price of ties
was reduced from 30 cents to 2S cents,
delivered at Troutdale. and there is &
feeding that the price should bo restored
to its old figure. All the mills, 14 In num
ber, belong to the Columbia River Tie
and Lumber Association, with headquar
ters In Portland, and a concerted move
ment is on foot to bring the railroad com
panies to terms. A representative of the
association has been visiting the mills of
tills vicinity, and there is a probability
that another market will be looked for un
less a better figure Is obtained for the
ties manufactured by the mills, of the
association. It is the intention to ship the
ties to California, either by rail or on the
sailing vessels, unless the old prices are
restored by the O. R. & N. Co., which has
been taking all tho product up to the
present time.
It is said that cheap freights can be se
cured by water and that there is an un
limited market for all tics that can be
made.
Much Grain Dnmnged.
Much damage is being done to grain In
the' shock- by tho vonU-iued shoufexy
weather Uncut fields are not -damaged
to any great extent, and threshing ma
chines are at work wherever the grain
has been stacked. Late fields that had
not ripened yet are improving and should
yield better than early-sown crops if the
weather comes off hot again".
Remembered by His Friends.
David Brown, formerly of Rockwood.
but now living at Lexington, was one of
the sufferers by the Heppner disaster.
He belongs to three fraternal orders, each
of which sent him money from their relief
fund. He was given JS0 in all, the lodges
preferring that he should have their dona
tions to having It put in a Portland bank
along with the unexpended balance con
tributed by others.
