Displeased with the slow progress made
by the Port of Portland in reaching a dc
clsion on the application of the Portland &.
Seattle Railway Company for permission
to construct its proposed bridge across the
Willamette In the vicinity of St. Johns.
many members of the Chamber of Com
mcrcc are anxious for a chance to express
themselves publicly and to hear what
opinions other business men entertain on
the question. Those having grown weary
of waiting promise to be on hand this af
ternoon, when Edward Ncwbegin, acting
president of the Chamber, calls the special
meeting to order in the auditorium of the
Chamber of Commerce building, and they
will come prepared to do business with
the object of bringing Influence to bear
upon a decision one way or another.
Although willing to admit that great
bodies move slowly, they can see no good
reason why the Northern Pacific should
be blocked in extending its lines into
Portland when it is the desire of the gen
eral public to have the road built and
ready for operation as quickly as possible.
and again quite a few of the members of
the Chamber are not entirely in accord
with the resolutions passed several days
ago by the committee on rivers, harbors
and navigation and presented to the Port
of Portland Commission. These resolu
tions are said not to voice the" sentiment
of the entire body by a long ways, and
friends of the Northern Pacific and prog
ress of tho city believe it their dutv to
say something to counteract their intent,
which many have construed to be an ar
gument in favor of the Harriman people,
pure and simple. Members of the eom-
. mittee that indorsed the resolutions arc
not at all satisfied with its contents, dc
spite the fact that it contains clauses In
tended to let its authors down in a gentle
manner, snouid they fail of their purpose.
TIcsolutions by AV. B. Aycr.
The resolutions were presented by W.
B. Aycr at a meeting held February 30,
and were forwarded to the Port of Port
land Commission by "William D "Wheel
wright, who explains thai it is not the
xmrposc of the committee to place ob
stacles in tnc pa.h of the Hill interests,
but rather to bring about a more har
monious feeling, and results that will
prove beneficial to all concerned. Those
present at the committee meeting were:
William D. "Wheelwright, chairman; J. E.
Laidlaw. "W. M. Ladd, T. B. "Wilcox. T. D.
Honeyman, A. H. Devcrs and William B.
A yen Not all of these wcro In sympathy
with the resolutions, it has since been
learned, but the majority vote ruled and
they passed. Absent members of the com
mittee were: Henry Halln. C. F. Adams,
. ivr. Mean? and W. H. Corbett.
"It l5bks to me as if those members of
the committee who voted in favor of
the resolution had inside Information as
to how the Harriman people are willing
to meet the Hill Interests." said one of
The members of the Chamber yesterday
after having rend a copy of the document'
Possibly the Harriman interests would
consent to allow the Portland & Seattle
to cross the steel bridge if the Harriman
interests be given the privilege of the
bridge to be constructed by the Hill peo
ple across the Columbia. This would be a
generous exchange of courtesies, and one
t hat the Harriman interests could well af
ford. What the Shippers Say.
The resolution lays great stress upon
the interference that the proposed bridge
would cause shipping, but firms vitally
interested in foreign commerce hold dif
ferent opinions. The following letter for
instance signed by two of the most prom
inent shipping concerns in the city, ap
pears to refute the oft-repeated state
ments by those opposed to the bridge that
Portland is being discriminated against by
foreign shipowners because of bridges

Text of Resolution.
The navigation committee's .resolutions
-which, it is said, were drawn up in favor
of the O.. R. & N. Interests, read as fol
lows: Resolutions or Navigation Committee

tee Is of opinion that isuch ntctM'.ty does

the construction or a bridge are a fol
lows: First That Portland will make an exception
to the usage of the commercial world If ahe
permits a bridge to be thrown across the en
trance of the harbor. This UMge Is the re
sult, not of whim or sentiment, but o" the
fact that commerce objects to a bridge, as
nature armors a vacuum, and a port tV-t i

to delay and expense, a hlp coming up the
nvcr in we nignt. or during a rog. wnen it
j ncuncr aarK cnougn nor toggy enougn to
prevent navigation In an open river, would be
compelled to anchor and wait for daylight
or clear weather before approaching the
bridge, and the same delay would occur again
when the ship goes out. A detention of only one
day on each Journey would entail a loss of
about 4500 to each steamer. Such a delay
In going down the river would Involve the loss
of a tide and might occasion a further de
tention of days or even weeku at Astoria. A
few years ago the United States Government

Captain P. A. Doran, master of the teajner
Columbia. The reason for the bellf of the
committee that there Is no need of another
brldg Is that there la high engineering au
thority for the statement that the approach
to the city can be made by tunneling the
Peninsula or by utilising the St. Johns
branch of the O. R. Jc N. Co. and the Steel
bridge, or a ntructure to be erected on the
ite of the prctwnt Steel bridge from which
the Portland & Seattlo could have two In
dependent tracks to their property. Th O.
R. & N. fx. Is willing to give these facil
ities under a fair arrangement and will make
a definite offer to the Portland & Seattle at
once on hearing that they are willing to en
tertain It.
Rwolved. That a copy of the reKOtatlona
be furnished the Port, of Portland Commission,
with a respectful request that they take all
the facta and maters herein referred to Into
careful consideration, and that they endeavor
to bring about notlatlonn between the Port
land & Seattle Railroad and the O. R. fc N.
Co.
Resolved. That if the Port of Portland Com
mifiBion shall decide to report In favor of a
bridge, this committee urges that it -halt be
of a type that shall obstruct river commerce
as little as possible, the least objectionable
being a lift bridge, which wc are informed
Is entirely feasible, the next least objection
able Is a rw!ng drawbridge. 60 feet high In
the clear, the most undesirable being a swing
drawbridge 39 feet high, a propwed.
STORM DELAYS SHIPPING.
Steamer Grace Dollar Is Bar-Bound

ABERDEEN. Wash.. March 2. (Spe

mouth of the harbor again. Among them

he lias oecn for two weeks, probably to
day or Sunday, with at lcant one con

On account of the activity In the lumber
trade there will be a big demund for
steam schooners, and the contracts will

The Black Flag
on the
Big Three"
In Everybody's for March,
Lawson says that the petty
crimes of the bio- insurance
companies Have been revealed
and will be stopped ; but that
the larger stealing by mil
lions and millions has been
made safer for the grafters
than ever.
The only remedy is "to
place the company m the
hands of men at the coming
annual election who will find
out how many dollars have
been looted, and have them
make complete restitution and
punishment and after that, an
honest organization."
If this is not done, he pre
dicts the insolvency of the
"big three" within five years.
Better read what Lawson
has to say.
