for tonight Is the basket-ball game to
be played between the Y. M. C. A. Tigers
and the second team of the Dalles

The college boys come here with noth
ing but victories on their record, and

SEATTLE MAN TOO HEAVY.
Multnomah Has No Wrestler That
Can Weigh in at 138 Pounds.
Unless it develops that a mistake has
been made In the telegram sent by the
Seattle Athletic Club in answer to the
M. A. A. C's telegraphtc acceptance of
terms, it Is doubtful if the proposed box
ing and wrestling tournament will be held.
Iscgotiatlons havo been in progress be
tween the two clubs .for some time, with
a view to holding such a tournament in
this city, and the event was finally fixed
for the latter part of this month. Mult
nomah wired the Seattle club of its ac
ceptance of terms, but in answering Seat
tle stated that .they would send a 138
pound wrestler. The proposition to which
the Multnomah Club agrerod, however,
called for a 135-pound man in the wrest
ling contest. Since the local club has-no
man of the weight specified in Seattle's
latest telegram. It is felt that it would be
unwise to enter a contest on unequal
terms, and If the Seattle weight is to
stand it is not likely that the match will
be held. The clubmen, however, are
awaiting -confirmation by mall before tak
ing any further action.

WORKING TO REPAIR BRIDGE
Morrison-Street Structure May Be
Opened by Noon Today.
The breaking of tho shaft of the new
Morrison-street bridge has caused con
siderable Inconvenience to the public of
tho East Side, but the prompt action ot
the Portland Consolidated Railway Com
pany In placing In servlco a number ot
special cars, which are being run over
tho same route as during the construc
tion of the bridge, has materially assist
ed those compelled to travel to and from
this side of the river.
As to just how the accident occurred
there seems to be some doubt. According
to the statement of Assistant Superin
tendent Frank Fields, of the Pacific
Construction Company, the blame lies
with Operator John Alexander, who. It
Is alleged, had tied down the safety de
vice controlling the electric current, and
in his haste to open the brldgo as soon
as posslblo after receiving the signal
from the steamer Kellog. had neglected
to await the opening of the latches which
fasten the brldgo at either end. This
threw the entire power of the 40 horse
power motors- upon the shaft, twisting it
just within a castlron bearing and break
ing that also.
As soon as the accident occurred, the
contractors put a force of man at work

removing the broken shaft and at a late
hour tho steamer Henderson, with the
aid of a towllne, opened the bridge for
the passage of river tfaffic
Early yesterday morning a new shaft
was ordered from a local foundry and
workmen were busy with the big steel
bar during last night, it having been
promised to the contractors as early as
8 o'clock this morning. Should the foun
dry accomplish this, the bridge will again
be open for traffic before noon today.
Probably the most exasperating se
quence of the breaking of the shaft was
the fact that the street railroad company
had just commenced the erection, at its
own expense, of a new bridge at East
Oak and Grand Avenue and have torn up
the street and railway tracks, which
compelled their patrons to walk the dis

WANT TO DRAW OUT.
Part of Milwaukie's Citizens Desire
to Leave the Corporate Limits.
There is a movement to cut out one
fourth of the territory embraced In the
corporate limits of Mllwaukie, in the
northeastern portion of the town. James
H. Reed, a well-known and prominent
grape raiser, is at the head of this move
ment. Mr. Reed was a member of the
Mllwaukie Council some time ago. but re
signed. He was also one of the leading
spirits which brought about the nomlna
tlon of the Independent ticket, which was
defeated in the recent election by Mayor
"William Schindler. One of the reasons
given for wanting to get out of tho city
is that the territory has been given no
electric lights and has received no bene
fits whatever through incorporation.
Mayor Schindler. In speaking of this
effort to cut out tho territory, said: "We
have been doing the best we can for Mll
waukie. "We have seven arc lights In the
central portion ot the town and will get
more when the people want them and are
willing to pay for them. No money has
been spent for electric lights or anything
else without first giving the people an op
portunity to express themselves. They
voted for the lights and got them. In
building a house you must begin at the
bottom and build up, and that we have
been doing at Mllwaukie. "We must pay
for these lights, and to cut out territory
after we have contracted for these elec
trie lights would be unjust to the remain
der."
There is a good deal of feeling In Mil
waukle regarding the matter. There will
be a meeting of the Council next Monday
evening In the "Woodmen of the Yorld
Hall, when the recent amendments of the
charter will be read, so the people may
understand. An Interesting meeting is ex
pected.

ATWORKONTHEFAIR
Strike at Exposition Grounds
at a Standstill,
NO MORE MEN WALK OUT
Great Body of Workmen Continue
Their Labors Contractors Firm in
Refusing Demandsfor Higher
Wages and Shorter Hours.
Fear of a general walkout and' strike
hung over the Fair grounds yesterday,
but conditions remained much the same
as on the day before. Some men were
put to work on the buildings being erect
ed by the Burrell Construction Company,
at which the strike of Monday had been
general, and several workmen were hired
by E. A- Lynds. who has the contract
for the Oregon building. The Varied In
dustries building had its full quota or
workmen.
Agitators are said to havo been at
tempting to call the men off from their
work, but so far they have been unsuc
cessful, except in a few cases.' The great
body of men appeared for work yesterday
mornlng as usual, though there was a
fear that they might not do so.
Though tho strike seems to be wearing
Itself out, there Is an ugly feeling on the
part of some of the workmen, and the
fear ot trouble has not yeet been dissi
pated. A cause for friction has been found in
the now regulation compelling all work
men to enter through certain gates and
show their badges. Tuesday It resulted
In forced entrances being made, and since
then there has been bad feeling between
the workmen and guards. Yesterday
morning Guard Mark Cameron, at the
entrance on the peninsula, was compelled
to come to blows with C. E. Stevenson,
a workman, because he refused to show
his badge, yet persisted iri entering.
Cameron had done no more than his duty.
but the incident was enough to set the
minds of all the workmen afire. Later
there was trouble between a foreman
and timekeeper at the Government build
ing, but that was soon settled. There
was an air of disquiet everywhere about
the grounds all day. but nothing hap
pened.
To Insure better order and to aid in
the enforcement of the regulations of the
admissions department, six of the guards
were yesterday invested with the powers
of Deputy-Sheriffs. They are M. L. Cam

The contractors are obdurate in their
refusal to raise the wages or shorten the

heart with his very llret utterances. His
Intonation, his finish, his grace, his ten
