1 THIS MORSHG OREGQXIAiN, -THURSDAY, MARCH 1, . 1906. NOT OPPOSED TO MUD BRIDGE Commissioner Thomas, of the Port of Portland, Makes Known His Views. PROGRESS MUST BE SLOW Xollilng Can He Done Unlll Absent Member Jteltim lo Attend 1 the MeeluR.s of Hie Board. Commissioner George B. Thomas, of the Port of Portland, says he 5s not opposed to the construction of a. oridge across the lower Willamette River, and will vote in favor of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company upon Its application for permis sion to span the rlvr at the proposed fclte, some hundred feet below the foot of Swan Island. It had been rumored that Mr. Thomas had expressed himself op posed to the construction of any kind of a span below the Steel Bridge, but he denies tho truth of the rumor. "These rumors are started in a strange manner. It seems," said Mr. Thomas last night In an intervicw.'and I don't know from -whom they emanate. 1 am not op posed to the construction of a bridge across the Willamette so Jong as It will not Interfere materially with shipping, and I belirvc tho special hrhlgo commlt tee'n reports will give us an idea along which lines the bridge should be con structed." "The committee wont 33ast, and we ought to derive some profit thereby, I don't believe it Is any one's Intention to block the progress, of the Northern Pa cific, and the public should not become impatient bocauso It takes some little time to look Into the matter. At the spe cial meeting of the. board Monday after noon It was decided to furnish each mem tier of the board copies of the two re ports. "Thcfe reports are voluminous and the copies have not been completed. I would not bo able to state my opinion as to the merits of either type of draw until I have Toad the reports of the committee, and these things cannot be done In a day. "The election of a new member on the hoard I considered necessary In order to take precaution against protests that, may he made against the board's decision as to the bridge, and I voted for Mr. Wheel wright because he is a man who doe things. He is active and a hard worker and understands conditions pertaining to shipping." Mr. Wheelwright will probably return In a day or two, and Captain Pease, act ing president of the board, has announced his Intention of calling a special meeting as soon as possible after the reports of the committee have been distributed among the members. Commissioner J. C. Alnsworth is expect ed home this week, and if nothing de tains him, the full membership of the board will be present to vote upon the ticklish bridge question. Mr. Alnsworth lias been sojourning in California for sev eral weolcs. Before leaving. Mr. Alns worth is said to have announced that he would abide by the majority report of the special bridge committee, which would moan that he will vote In -favor of a swing draw. BUSINESS IS INCREASING. Steamboats on Upper Columbia Aro Bcaplns Benefit From Railroad. Steamboat ing on the Upper Columbia is getting to be a profitable business, now that work has been commenced on the construction of the North Bank road. Many small trading pasts arc springing up and freight Is going Into the country at a lively rate. Small villages where a year ago the hoot of the owl was heard from the gables in the still of the night, arc now bustling little centers of com merce and traffic with money going freely. The boats from Portland are carrying large quantities of irrigation machinchy, and development work in the Klickitat country is going on at a rate that will astonish even the most sanguine. The good people of The Dalles have be come aware of the fact that money Is being spent along the road, and in order to get a share of the laborers' earnings have arranged to send a boat to the camps for those wishing to spend a few hours and a few dollars in the city. The large gasoline boat Princess May Is being operated under this arrangement between The Dalles and the Big Dddy. at the end or the portage road, and she is said to be dolne a capacity business.

Reply ing' to the resolutions passed by the Shipowners' Association of the Pacific Coast, which requested that the mer chant marine should be utilized by the Government in preference to trans ports in conveying' supplies and men to foreign shores, Cliirtrrmastcr Gcneral C F. Humphrey states that under existing laws the plan would not be feasible. One of the reasons slvcn is that much freight has been rejected by the steamship men on account of having to give their commercial con tracts a preference. Sick Japanese Escapes From Vessel.

The man is suffering from trachoma, an infectious disease of the eye, and had been ordered held in prison by the Immigration Inspectors until the departure of the vessel.

Masked Man-WlTo Kulin ' Escapee Killed ' Julius Capture C. Schley Was Good Catch. One murder, several sensational house robberies, a number of stores enteral ly burglars, and a bu?y month in China town. K in brif. the record In police af- j fairs for th month of February. Out , side th usual number of drunks, vag rants. iK'tty onenucrs. among doiii men ami women who were urrej't'xl and flned In Municipal Court, the only cases upon which the police worked hard were those of the Kuhn murder. Mrs. Sam Gordon's experiences, and ihe arrest of C. Schley. a ecu Fed of burglary. The number of arrests for the month was about r0. the number varying but little from the arrests of preceding monthK. The city is richer by J1S13JW an a result of fines and forfeiture levied by Judge Cameron in Municipal Court. The greatest crime of the month was the murder of Julius Kuhn by a masked man at Williams avenue and Wcldlor street. No trace of the murderer has been found by the detectives. C Schley, accused of burglary, was ar rested In Vancouver. Wash., by Detec tives Kerrigan and Snow. Part of the plunder known to have been stolen by Schley lias been recovered and it I likely that more will be found. Schley, of whom little could be found out, Is said to have come to Fonland from Astoria intending to enter business in this city. He said to have lost several hundred dollars at poker, to have recovered the amount through the offices of a bu.Mness man, and to have again squandered the money. Being In debt and without funds, ho re sorted to robbery and was caught. His depredations an said to amount to almost J10M. Fearing that he will commit suicide In his cell at the city jail cloe watch Is being kept over the prisoner. He Jald when arrested that he would end his life before he would be brought to trial. The Schley and the Kuhn case have at tracted considerable notoriety, but Mrs. Sam Gordon. who?e adventures on the Pa cific Coast were of the sensational order, held the attention of the public to n greater extent. D. D. Pierce and K. W. Kaln were ar rested on charges of highway robbery ami burglary, and were sentenced to the peni tentiary at Walla Walla. Wash., for IS years each. Harry McMenomy. accuMl of holding up and robbing V. V Rami, was brought back from Seattle by De tective Hartman and will stand trial here. DAILY CITY STATISTICS. Marriage Ucrne.
