PTjOGBBSS ON FIRBT-STHEET BlUDGE.
Very rapid progress has "been made with
the work of getting ready the massive
concrete foundations for the plors and
supports of the steel bridge on First
street over Marquam's Gulch. The ex
caatlons are practically completed, and
the work of putting In the concrete was
commenced yesterday. The materials are
mixed on platforms laid on the floor of the
old bridge, and dumped from wheelbar
rows through openings cut directly over
the excavations. It is easy to see from
the manner in which the mixers and oth
ers employed on this work are hustled
by Contractor Jacobsen that not a mo
ment of the fine weather is to be wasted,
and If all goes well the foundations will
he completed before It has been fairly
realized that they have been started. The
jrogress of the work is watched with in
terest by the resldonts of the section south
of the bridge, who expect that its comple
tion will remove the hoodoo which for
ears has retarded the Improvement of
that fine residence district. They linger
as they make their way down town over
the sidewalks of the old bridge, which
they ore warned is done at their own risk,
us the walks are dangerous. They express
all sorts of opinions In regard to steel
and wooden bridges, and fills, and gaze
at the vacant gap once spanned hy the
Second-street bridge, now entirely disap
peared, and discuss the wisdom of erect
ing the proposed steel bridge on Front
street. Instead of making a fill there, and
to wonder what railroad company or how
many will use the double-track railway to
be laid across the First-street bridge, in
regard to which there seems to be no defi
nite privilege attainable. When they ask
how long before the brldgo will be com
pleted they are told that three carloads of
the steel have arrived and the delivery of
it on the ground will soon be begun, and
that none of the material has been mis
laid, to cause delay, as Is the case with
the bridge over Jefferson street. The erec
tion of the structure will be soon com
menced, and it will be pushed with vigor
and will be completed in so short a time
as to "astonish the natives."
Misert or Old House Ended. An old
spavined horse which could go no farther
was shot and killed on Fifth street at 10
o'clock yesterday afternoon by Humane
Officer Joseph Reislng, and afterward was
carted away to the City Crematory. A
short time before a man was observed on
horseback nding along the street, and
pulling the old nag behind him with a
rope. The animal, however, was weak
and on its last legs, and moved with
great effort. People passing by observed
the horse, and one of the number went
into the Courthouse and Informed Dudley
Evans, County Health Officer, about the
matter. Mr. Evans questioned the man
on horseback, who replied that he had
just purchased the old plug for ?5 and was
trying to take him Into the country, but
was afraid he would not be able to suc
ceed. Without saying more tho man rode
rapidly away, leaving tho old horso be
hind on the street in a helpless state.
Mr. Evans telephoned to the Police Sta
tion, and Officer Relslng was at once dis
patched to set rid of the old creature,
which he did. The name of the man in
the case was not ascertained, because he
rode off without disclosing it.
Marries to Prevent Deportation.
Kirnitara Sankiyo, in order to prevent his
al'eged wife, Masa Sankivo, from being
deported to Japan, obtained a license at
the County Clerk's office yesterday and
afterward the couple was united in nar
rlage by Justice Waldemar Seton. The
woman arrived from the Orient ten days
ago, and one of Inspector Barbour's dep
uties, suspecting that she was brought
here for immoral purposes, took her into
custody and caused her to be locked up
in tho County Jail. Kunltari Sankiyo ap
peared some time afterward and claimed
that the woman was his wife. His proofs
that they had been joined together in
wedlock in Japan were not satisfactory to
the authorities, so finally he agreed to
marry her here, and did so. If this course
is to be continued Japanese women who
can find husbands will have no trouble in
landing on American soil.
MiLWAtTKiH District Is Debt-Feed.
The Mllwauklo school district is now
clear of debt, the last $3000 of the
$6000 bonded debt incurred in the erec
tion of the present four-room build
ing having been just paid out of the
recent tax levy. By two special levies in
two years the whole debt was wiped out
after the bonds had been carried nearly
ten years. Milwaukie district maintains
one of the best schools in Clackamas
County, has four teachers and an attend
ance above 150. Many of the surrounding
districts send pupils to this school. This
year Milwaukie won $45 of $00 in prizes
offered by the Sons and Daughters of tho
devolution, and the Evening Telegram.
Wlth the debt paid the district may make
some needed improvements. '
Willing to Do Its Shard. A committee
from the Central Alblna Board of Trade
called on Manager F. L Fuller, of the
Portland Railway Company, to ask the
company to ballast the space between its
double tracks through Multnomah Addi
tion to Maryland avenue. Mr. Fuller in
formed the committee that the company
would not stand in the way of improving
any of the streets on which its tracks
were laid, but did not think it just to be
required to improve the center of the
streets for the use of the public, while
the remainder was unimproved. He assured
the committee that the company would
always favor the full improvement of tho
streets, as that meant more residents and
snore travel. He agreed to fix the street
crossings.
CoMPiBTTNO "Union Avenue. The con
tractors are pushing work on the improve
ment of Union avenue bet-veen Highland
and Dekum avenue. The grading is fin
ished and graveling has commenced on
the space occupied by tho double tracks
of the Portland Railway Company. As
gravel is close at hand, this work can go
forward rapidly, and the improvement
should be completed at least within two
months. "Union avenue is 0 feet wide
from Highland to Woodlawn, and will be
a very fine highway for the northeastern
district. Ainsworth avenue, which is 100
feet wide, is to be graded nearly a
mile east from Union, avenue. As there Is
a gravel bed under the surface, the grade
will be cut down to tho gravel.
Appeal to President. President Roose
velt Is to be petitioned by the members of

rights In using the militia to help break a
strike.

Greatness op the Oregon Countrt. I
The April number of the North American
Review pnbllshes an able article by Henry
EL Reed, secretary of the Lewis and
Clark Centennial, on "The Great West
ana uie two aaats. Tne article acais
with the resources of the Oregon Coun
try, giving exhaustive descriptions of the
groat developments in agriculture, man
ufacturing, commerce, mineral produc
tion, the lumber industry, and railroad
transportation during late years, with the
great future development assured In these
industries, considering tho future of the
great West, and In Its relation to the
Asiatic countries and their trade and Its
ability to support a large population. Tho
acquisition of Louisiana, the Oregon
Country, Alaska and the Philippines and
the Hawaiian Islands are pointed out as
the most important events in the history
of the Nation.
Confidence Gaud on the Hens. L. A.
Read, principal of the Milwaukie School,
varies the monotony of teaching school
by conducting a chicken and duck farm,
and at his lnclosure he has between 309
and 400 Juvenile ducks and chickens. He
placed several dozens of Pekln duck eggs
under the henB, and in duo time a whole
swarm of queer little creatures pecked
their way out of the shells, much to the
astonishment as well as disgust of the
mother hens. The duckllng3 throvo and
adopted one mother hen, and one day last
week they made for the pond in one cor
ner of the lot. Then the mother hen was
set nearly wild by seeing her family
plunge into the water in spite of her
warnings. She chlded and pecked at the
youngsters, but It did no good, and she
gave up in disgust. '
MiLWAtnoE Aye-nub Needs Improve
ment. The Sellwood Board of Trade will
again wrestle this evening with the prob
lem of getting Milwaukie avenue improved
through to the city limits. Off and on for
two years the bonrd has had this question
up, but never reached a satisfactory solu
tion, owing mainly to the fact that it Is
part street and part county road. It Is
Important that somehlng should be done,
as the travel Is constantly on the Increase.
Nearly all travel from Clackamas County
enters Portland by way of Milwaukie ave
nue, and complaint Is very vigorous from
farmers and others because of its bad
condition and because the tracks of the
Oregon Water Power & Railway Company
are above the surface and almost prevent
vehicles from crossing tho road.

L. M. Boozer, of the First United Evan
gelical Church; Rev. J. Bowersox, of the

First Church, East Tenth and Sherman,
and perhaps the Second Church. He ex
pects to speak In some of the other United
Evangelical Churches in the state before
he leaves for the East.
Angora Goats at St. Louts Fair. John
W. Fulton, of Helena, Mont, secretary of
the American Angora Goatbreeders' As
sociation, has passed through the city on
his way to Polk County, where he will
encourage the breeders of Angora goats
to prepare and send their stock to the St
Louis Fair next Fall. He volunteers to
list now and later receive and care for
animals shipped by breeders who do not
intend to go to the Fair. Their stock will
be exhibited under their names and will
be afterward sold for their benefit in order
to save the cost of reshipment. This la
expected to bring about a much more
creditable display than If only a few breed
ers attend with their stock.
Seattle Justice Known in Portland.
Justice of the Peace J. H. Cann, who was
forced to resign from the bench in Seattle

ers, but no charges were ever made for
mally. Cann then went to Seattle. .

A mother's lovo is said to bo the great
est of all loves, because it is so steadfast
and disinterested. It is the kernel or
central thought in the drama In four acts
"The Greatest Thing in the World," pre
sented last night at the Marquam Thea
ter by Rose Coghlan and a capable com
pany. The play shows tho subtlety and
finesse of a woman's hand, for the auth
ors are Harriet Ford and Beatrice De
Mllle, and they have evolved a clean pro
duction in which not one scene or one
word can be objected to. There Is none
of that risky problem play Juggling so
noticeable in portraitures presented not
so very long ago by Rose Coghlan and
other stars. Miss Coghlan in this present
Instance reaches purer heights and really
touches the heart, in showing what sac
rifices and heartaches a widowed mother
will endure for her erring son. Sidney
Irving portrays this son, who Is drunken
at a dance given by his mother, and raises
a check to a higher amount, rendering
him liable to criminal prosecution.
Through all this Ills mother works his
reformation, and Miss Coghlan was sin
cere and convincing In her emotional
work.
The comedy was well played, by Paula
Gloy, one of the best ingenues seen at the
Marquam this season. Miss Gloy Is an Illi
nois girl, has a perfectly modulated con
tralto voice, and she last appeared with
Frank Daniels. Lynn Pratt and Xouls
Shea especially pleased with tho strength
of their character studies. "The Greatest
Thing In the World" Is worth seeing and
will be played for the dast tlmo tonight at
the Marquam.
Chamber Music Concert.
Quartet Op. 29, A minor, allegro ma non
troppo, andante. Mcnuetto allegretto, allegro
moderato (Franz Schubert); "Parlsfal" Para
phrase (Wagner-Wilhclmj) ; quartet (Bird), Op.
23, No. 3, allegro moderato, scherzando, alle
gretto, adagio, nnale, rondo presto (J. Haydn).
The third of the scries of chamber mu
sic concerts given this season under the
direction of William Wallace Graham,
took place last night at the Unitarian
Chapel and was attended by an audience
almost exclusively composed of women.
Tho various numbers were very kindly
received, the members of tho string quar
tet being: William Wallace Graham,
first violin; Mrs. Sherman D. Brown, sec
ond violin; Edgar E. Courscn, viola; Fritz
Zllm, 'cello. Two quartets were played
and the general ensemble effect was high
ly artistic, tho tone color being pure and
well balanced. Mr. Graham as the solo
ist and he played on his violin an eloquent
and almost prayerful paraphrase from
"Parsifal," from an arrangement by Wag-ner-WllhelmJ.
This was the gem of the
concert, and Mr. Graham never played
better. He gave the music entirely from
memory, a circumstance which added to
tho fine interpretation. The swelling,
pulsing tones of that violin solo will grate
fully linger in the memories of those pres
