MAKES ITS REPORT
Bridge Committee Says City's
Funds Were Wasted.
EXECUTIVE BOARD BLAMED
Report Declares the Morrison-Street
StructureCould Have Been Erected
for $20,000 or $30,000 Less
..Than It Has Cost City.
According to a report submitted by the
bridge committee appointed last Novem
ber, the Morrison-street bridge, while It
will conform to specifications as regards
workmanship and material, could. In the
opinion of Messrs. Focller. Rumelin and
Sigjer. haie been built for $20,0fK or ?30.000
less than the total amount of the con
tract. Former City Engineer Elliott and the
Executive Board are severely scored. In
competency or neglect being charged
against the former and carelessness
against the latter.
With reference to the First and Thur
iJnan street bridges, after a thorough in
vestigation, the excessive cost of extras
Is blamed upon the Executive Board.
From information gleaned from various
eources and after a careful perusal of Ex
pert Charles BIhler's report on these
bridges, the committee assumes that Mr.
.Elliott was incompetent, careless or neg
ligent In not preparing a complete .et of
specifications for the Marquam-gulch
bridge previous to his request for bids;
and further, that he erred In not amend
ing his specifications and calling for new
proposals upon discovering that his fig
ures were not accurate. This course, in
the opinion of the committee, would not
have afforded any opportunity for criti
cism. The difference between the bld of
the lowest and second highest proposals
was so great the committee feels that the
engineer should have declared all bids
rejected before closing a contract.
The mere fact that the successful bid
der sublet the contract to the lowest bid
der Is convincing to the committeemen
that the second highest bid was not rea
sonable, and as the former City Engineer
has as yet offered no Intelligent explana
tion, the blame is put at his door.
Gross carelessness is charged to the Ex
ecutive Board in accepting the estimate
.of the former City Engineer without mak
ing a personal investigation to ascertain
as to whether or not his figures were
iust and proper.
If the Executive Board had pursued
along these lines, the committee argues
that no difficulty would have developed in
an advocacy for re-advertislng for bids,
and they feel that considerable money
would have been saved the city on the
contract.
Extra expenditures on the First-street
bridge, the committee finds, amounting to
$9747.10, were for obtaining a satisfactory
foundation which required much more
concrete than was estimated by the for
mer City Engineer. Such deception is de
plored, and it is recommended that more
accurate figures be required in future
specifications.
The findings with reference to the
IBalch's-gulch bridge are materially the
same as those applying to the First-street
bridge. Regrets are expressed that the
contractor was not required to pay a for
feit of $25 per diem for every intervening
day between March 22. 1SKM, and August
19. 1904.
Better results may be obtained In the
construction of bridges, says the commit
tee, by competitive bidding, and this is
strongly recommended for all city work
in the future. The committee believes
that such a plan Is practical and affords
greater opportunity for determining the
merits of each bid, provided the plans and
specifications are carefully prepared un
der the supervision of the City Engineer.
Verbal suggestions by the City Engi
neer and contracts for extras let without
advertising, for bids are greatly deplored
by the committee; and concluding, the re
port suggests that In the future the City
Engineer should be required to file his
reasons for any changes In plans with the
City Auditor. In writing, so that If the
latter sees fit to differ he may refer the
suggestions to the Executive Board, who.
In the opinion of the committee, should
be vested with the right to decide any
such dissensions. If. however, the Au
ditor concurs with the suggestions of the
City Engineer the committee recommends
that he be allowed to permit such
changes, keeping a record of the same In
bis office.
GIVES INTERESTING TALK.
Rev. W. S. Gilbert Speaks on Compre
hensive Child Training.
Rev. William S. Gilbert, of Calvary
Presbyterian Church, gave the Home
Training Association an interesting ad
dress yesterday afternoon on the sub
ject of "Comprehensive Child Training."
This training. Mr. Gilbert said, should
be commenced while children are very
young, the parents considering the prob
able life work of the child at the begin
ning of his education, teaching him rev
erence of life, open-hearted honesty and
patriotism. Girls should be taught the
domestic side of life and boys should be
encouraged in practical ambition while
they are in school rather than to finish
their books and then begin something
altogether new to them.
The old Greek idea of a sound body
and a sound mind may hold good even
In the case of a criminal, and as -a.
child's natural tendencies often make
him a menace to himself and to society,
the principles of heredity must always
be considered, careful training going far
in the development of the moral life and
soul character.
Mrs. E. C. Clement and Mrs. G. B. Cel.
lars gave brief talks on the subjects
from the question box and Mrs. Cellars
sang very expressively "The Gift."
VALUE OF GULL'S LIFE.
Suit for Damages Against Her Mur
derer Does Not Come Up.
The case of Gartano Guarascia. admin
istrator of the estate of his daughter.
Freda Guarascia, against Frank Gugllel
mo. her murderer, to recover for the
value of the girl's life, was set for trial
In the State Circuit Court yesterday, but
was continued because of the sickness of
the mother and cousin of the dead girl.
A. C. Emmons, attorney for Guarascia,
said the women were Important witnesses
and were both unable to be present in
court. Dan R. Murphy, counsel for the
defense, consented to a postponement of
tho trial.
In the Superior Court for Clark County.
"Washington. Guarascia recovered judg
ment against Gugllelmo for $300. the value
of the girl's services from the time of her
death until she reached the age of IS
years, a period of little more than a year.
In the Circuit Court for Multnomah
County. Oregon, a similar suit was filed
and Judgment for ?600 was given. Through
his attorneys. Gugllelmo paid the smaller
Clark County judgment first, and so un
der thfe statutes was relieved from the
payment of the larger Oregon judgment.
Afterward. Guarascia began suit for the
value of his daughter's life. He claimed
the sum of $5000 damages, but the ques
tion of assessment will have to be de
cided by the court. f
The suit in the Vancouver court was
possible because Gugllelmo owns prop-1
erty in Clark County, "Washington.
Gugllelmo Is still confined in the County
Jail awaiting the decision of the Su
preme Court on appeal from his convic
tion of murder in the first decree- The
case was argued In the Supreme Court
several days ago and a decision will be
handed down soon.
OFFICERS VISIT AHLETA.
Chief Deputy Morden and Deputy
Sheriff Grussi Investigate Robbery.
In an effort to find the men who robbed
the postofflce at Arleta and the store of
Chamblcss & Griffith. In which the post
office is situated. Chief Deputy Sheriff
Morden and Deputy Grussi proceeded to
the scene yesterday armed with a search
warrant. Five houses were searched, but
none of the missing property was discov
ered and no arrests were made.
For the past six months depredations in
this vicinity have occurred. Clothes lines
have been stripped and chickens and feed
from barns stolen. Several residents of
the neighborhood whose past reputations
are not of the best have been suspected. t
but the officers were unable to obtain any
evidence against them.
The postoffice at Arleta was entered
Monday night and $5 In cash and $90
worth of postage stamps were purloined.
From the store of Chambless Griffith
the thieves took 3S pocket knives, a re
volver and a gold nugget pin.
On the same night burglars visited the
store of C. S. Howe, at Gray's Crossing,
one mile and a hnlf distant from Arleta,
and carried away 4S pocket knives and
two razors. They also called at the
butcher shop and "helped thegiselves to a
piece of beef and some sausages. No one
sleeps In any one of the throe places en
tered by the burglars and this leads to
the belief that the perpetrators were ac
quainted with the surroundings and were
not strangers.

Sheepherder Causing Portland Au
thorities a Great Deal of Trouble.
M. A. Welton. a sheepherder who left
the range several weeks ago and has
since made Portland his home. 1ms; since
his arrival, caused the authorities a great
deal of trouble. He was arrested several
days ago by a policeman for insanity.
Welton was taken to the County Jail and
Dr. Williamson was called to examine
him. Dr. Williamson was long attached
to the asylum at Salem and he Is an ex
pert on mental diseases. He decided that
Welton might 1ms what Is called a little
off, but is not insane, and ordered him dis
charged, as the asylum authorities would
no doubt refuse to keep him in the insti
tution if he was committed.
Yesterday the police again picked Wel
ton up on the streets, where he was in
dulging Iu queer antics, and he was
brought back to the County Jail a sec
ond time and will have another exam
ination as to his mental condition. The
police insist that he is Insane and unfit
to remain at large. i

GONTRABANOOFWAR
Forest Brook May Load Rus
sian Supplies at Portland,
STEAMER EN ROUTE TO COAST
Cargo Is Here Awaiting Transporta
tion to Vladivostok Some Tramps
Chartered Rrlor to Recent
Captures Brinkburn Off.
It is believed by shipping men that the
British steamship Forest Brook will come
to Portland to load a cargo of contraband
supplies for Vladivostok. It Is known
that the steamer Is under engagement to
load either at this port or at Seattle, and
there Is good reason to believe that she
will be ordered here. There is a large
quantity of hay and oats in Portland
warehouses said to have been sold to
agents of the Russian government, and
it would surprise no one along the water
front to see the forage put aboard this
steamer.
The Forest Brook was chartered for the
business about two weeks ago, as were a
number of other tramp steamers that are
headed for the Coast from various ports.
Since the capture of the M. S. Dollar
and the Wyefleld, no fixtures of this kind
have been reported, and It is likely that
none has been made, as the war risks are
prohibitive.
The Forest Brook left Mojl January 18.
clearing for Puget Sound for orders. She
i? a steamer of 1729 tons net register and
is commanded by Captain Hunter. The
British steamship Inverness, which Is
well known here, is also on the way to
the Coast from Japan, presumably to en
gage In the contraband trade. Other
tramps headed this way for supplies for
the Russians are the British steamer Ger
manicus, from Hongkong, and the French
steamer Colombo, from Singapore. They
have options of loading at various Coast
ports. The Glenturret, also chartered for
this business, reached San Francisco yes
terday from the Orient.
The latest of the "blockade runners" to
get away for Vladivostok is the Brink
burn, formerly the Tottenham, which
sailed from San Francisco yesterday. Her
cargo consisted of 40.443 sacks of barley,
1237 sacks of oats and 39.6SS bales of hay.
The steamer coals at Comox before pro
ceeaing across the Pacific. As the Totten
ham, she made several visits to this port
before the war, carrying out lumber car
goes to the Far East. Captain Peters Is
still in command of the steamer.
Another steamer of the Dollar Line, the
Melville Dollar, has just left Comox witn
contraband, consisting of oats and other
feed supplies, which she loaded at San Fran
cIsco. Her clearance papers gave Shang
hai as her destination, but the same was
the case with the M. S. Dollar, which the
Japanese overhauled as she was trying
to reach ladlvostok. The Northwest
Commercial Company's steamer Tacoma,
with beef and other provisions from Seat
tle, Is due the latter part of the week at
ladlvostok, and wagers are being freely
made that she will not succeed In mak
ing that port without Interference. The
Japanese have a strong patrolling fleet
composed of small cruisers and armed
merchant vessels watching the waterways
through which a steamer must pass to
make her way to the Russian fortress on
ussurl Bay.
FLEET OF COASTERS OFF.
Four Steamers Sail Southward With
Freight and Passengers.
A fleet of steam coasters got away last
night for San Francisco and way .ports,
all carrying good loads of passengers and
full freight cargoes. The F. A. Kllburn
sailed for San Francisco with 54S7 sacks
of wneut, and also took 50 tons of mer
chandise for Marshfield and ten tons for
Eureka. The Aberdeen, for San Fran
cisco, carried 4SO.O0O feet of lumber, and
the Aurelia cleared for Redondo with
490,000 feet. The cargo of the Homer con
slsted of ISO tons of grain and merchan
dise for Eureka and list tons for Coos
Bay points.
The steamer Roanoke Is due at tho
mouth of the river at daylight this morn
lng and is scheduled to sail southward
Saturday evening. Tickets by this steam
er were put on sale yesterday at the fol
lowing rates: To San Francisco, $15 first
cabin, $12 second cabin and 510 third cabin;
to Coos Bay. $10, 57.50 and $5; to Eureka,
$12.50. $10 and JS.
NEW DOLLAR STEAMER.
Big Freighter Just Launched in Glas
gow for Coast Company.
The new steamship Hazel Dollar has
been launched from the builders yard
at Glasgow for the Robert Dollar Steam
ship Company. The new vessel is the
largest of the numerous fleet- of the Dol
lar line, and has features that will make
her notable among the freight carriers of
this ocean.
Having a length of 270 feet, beam of 50
feet and depth of 29.3 feet, with a dead
weight carrying "capacity of 7000 tons, the
Hazel Dollar ha3 no stanchions or sup
ports in all her hold, and is therefore
exceptional in her ability to carry large
titrabers or huge pieces of freight, for
which she was specially built. She Is
constructed of steel and has four big
hatches, and a nominal horsepower of
333. The steamer was named after the
wife of Stanley Dollar, a member of the
Dollar Steamship Company. The com
mander will be Captain Alexander Gow.
lately In command of the steamer M. S.
Dollar. The new vessel will arrive on
this Coast early In the Spring.

SHEEPMEN NOT LAWLESS.
But Their Patience Is Tried by the
Depredations of Sheep-Shooters.
MITCHELL, Or.. Feb. 2.-(To the Edi
tor.) I have read a letter published in
your paper of January IS from "Sheep
Shooters' Headquarters, Crook County,"
warning you to desist from publishing
matter derogatory to that organization;
that they have the banner county In
sheep-shooting; that they have slaugh
tered the usual number of sheep, and
that more sheep would be killed to satisfy
their greed.
Now. their story la about true, and It
can be truly said that the sheepmen have
not done one lawless act. They know the
persons to punish, these self-appointed
princes, and where their arsenals are
kept, and If the sheepmen chose they
could slay the keeper at any time If
they had no more respect for the law
than the sheep-shooters. The little,, gov
ernment could be laid In ruins wltii the
same weapons with which flocks and
camps are destroyed. Hay could be
burned and stock left to die. But be It
said to the sheepmen's credit, that they
will wait with what patience they can for
the law to reach the guilty parties. If
possible. But there may come a time
when forbearance ceases to be a virtue.
As for these good shots. I don't think it
takes much of a shot to kill a sheep, and
mostly any one could hit a cow. likewise
the other game your correspondent had
reference to. There is not much "Injun"
In my veins. But just come out of the
brush and show your colors, gentlemen.
Here's to you.

AFTER SICKNESS
VINOL IS A WONDERFUL TONIC
AND STRENGTHENER.
Woodard, Clarke & Co. Refund Money
in All Cases Where It Fails to
Give Satisfaction.
"During the past few months there has
been a j;reat deal of sickness of one kind I
and another In this vicinity." said a mem- j
ber of Woodard. Clarke & Co., "and I ?
want to suy to the people of Portland .
that the one thing to aid recovery after
sickness Is to give the patient a blood
bulldlng and strength-restoring tonic, one
that will give strength to every organ in j
the body.
"Now," continued this member. "I don't I
believe there Is another remedy In the
country equal to our delicious cod-llver 1
oil preparation, Vinol, for malting pure,
rich, red blood and building up strength.
I say this from an intimate knowledge of
almost every medicine on the market, and !
after considering what Vinol iy and has
done.
"Vinol contains every one of the body
building, medicinal elements of cod-llver
oil, without one drop of oil to upset the
stomach and retard its work, and this
with organic iron, which is a needful con
stituent for the blood, dissolved in a de
licious table wine, makes Vinol. It acts
directly on the stomach, creates a healthy
appetite and enables the digestive organs
to obtain the necessary elements from the
food eaten to make rich, red blood and
heulthy flesh and muscle tissue, and cre
ate strength, and you know what you are
taking."
Continued thla member: "We have a
good many letters like the following:
Mr. A. Manser, of Foughkeepsie, K. Y
writes: A severe fever left me in a very
weak condition, and no matter what I
took I could not seem to get any strength
until through a friend 1 learned of Vinol.
Two bottles worked wonders for me, and
so quickly did It restore my health and
strength, and I am fast gaining In weight,
Vinol Is a wonderful strength creator.
"In the strongest manner we unhesitat
ingly endorse and guarantee Vinol to In
crease the appetite, cure stomach trou
bles, give strength and renewed vitality
to the aged, build up the rundown, tired
and debilitated and restore health to the
convalescent or we will return every dol
lar paid us for It." Woodard, Clarke &
Co.. Druggists.

Tized, Nezvous , Mothers
MaKe Unhappy Homes Their Condition Irritates
Both Husband and Children-How Thousands
of Mothers Have Been Saved From Nervous
Prostration and Made Strong and Well.
A nervems, irritable mother, often on
the verge of hysterics, is unfit to care
lor children ; it ruins a child's disposi
tion and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely nnfib to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves: it is impossible
lor her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner
vous despondency, "the blues,' sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some derangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying ?
Do you feel something like a ball ris
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you ; aLi the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound ;
pain in the ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders ; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappy ?
If so, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra
tion than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound; thousands and thou-
sands of women testify to this fact

derived fxom Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

at the end of three months I was a different
