the draw to 230 feet on each side,
iu accordance witli the recommen
dations of Engineer J. B. C. Lockwood
and Commissioner John Driscoll. and it
will also dredge a basin between Swan
Island and tho bridge for a safe anchor
age for large vessels, and keep the chan
nel below the bjidgc in such condition as
to eliminate all danger to shipping by
reason of the bridge. The towboat ques
tion is said to have been practically set
ilea In favor of the railroad company by
th. agreement to dredge the channel" and
lengthen tlie draw. It being generally
agreed that with plenty of room there will
le no need for more towboats in the vicin
ity of the bridge than Jn any other por
tion of the river.
Thoro arc a fow other points upon which
the board and the railroad representatives
do not agree, but it is believed that with
slight concessions from both sides these
will not stand in the way of an immediate
settlement.
Tho question of an upper deck for high
way traffic has not been taken up yet. but
the railroad has not declared Itself strong
ly opposed to incorporating this feature
Jn its plans if the public is willing to bear
the expense, which, it is held, will be
heavy. The approaches alono to the upper
deck, It is stated by good authority, will
cost in the neighborhood of $100,000. and
they would add about 4000 feet to the
length of the structure, making it fully a
mile across. It will practically be up to
the taxpayers to choose whether or not
they will be willing to stand this burden.
The people of the Peninsula are anxious
to have provisions made for the upper
deck, and will urge the board' to see that
It is incorporated in the franchise. It is
not the intention of hating the upper deck
put in at this time, but the desire is to
have the railroad construct Its portion of
the structuro so as to permit the addition
of the upper structuro at such tlmo as it
may be found expedient.
At an Informal meeting of the members
. f the board, the upper deck question was
discussed at considerable length, and all
seemed in favor of liavlng provisions made
for it, although It was not deemed neces
sary to insist upon hating that part of
the bridge completed with the opening of
the bridge for railroad trafllc.
C. M. Levey, president of tho Portland
Sc Seattle Railway Company, and a num
ber of other Northern Pacific railroad men
are In the city to attend the meeting of
the Port of Portland, and at that time tho
uppor-deck problem will be looked into
carefully.
COMPANY BUYS STEAMEH.
New Line Will Be Established Be
tween Portland and The Dalles.
THE DALLES. Or., March 16. (Special.)
Tho atoamer George S. Simons, which
has been running in connection with the
O. R. & X. Co.'s boats between this city
and Cascade Locks for tho past two years,
was sold today to a new transportation
company composed of Dalles merchants,
whose articles of Incorporation were filed
hero yesterday.
The object of the new company is to
operate steamers on the Columbia and

Out Cargo or English Material.
Balfour, Guthrie & Co. yesterday char
tered the French bark Genevieve Molinos,
1603 tons net, to bring a cargo of English
cement from London to Portland. She 4a
to commence loading without delay and
will be looked for in this port in October.
The cargo will contain about 17,000
barrels.
It is now about three years since cement
was imported to this part of the world
from- England, and for that reason the
rargo will bo viewed in tho light of a new
departure. The cement is of tho K. B
& S. stamp and is one of the oldest Port
land cements manufactured.
Scalers JIave Poor Prospects.
ST. JOHNS. N. F., March 16.0wlng to
the coatbfued severe wefitker -mbcc the
sealing fleet left port, a succession of
gales unequaled for years, experienced
observers fear that the sealing voyage of
the present season is not likely to report
the average of recent years, as the Ice
fioes probably have been dispersed by the
gales, thereby preventing the Hunters irom
securing such catches as in years when
the ice is more solid.
ENCOUNTERED SEVERE GALE

Many Portland Residents Arc In

in the American Reserve Bond Com

Portlanders. Payments into the coffers
of the company fvery month range
from $2.30 to 5203 each by Portlanders.
many of whom are prominent men in
the city.
Profits Have Been Large.
The funds of the company are able
to draw down 6 and 7 per cent on
mortgages and other securities, while
the lapses of those who fail in their
payments bring the profits paid to
bondholders up to 10 and 12 per cent.
TIig bonds mature In from three to
six years.
William W. Harder, manager or the
local, agency, pooh poohs the suit
brought by plalntiffH Hake and Welch.

the company and said that with an In

of over $3,300,003. the company he
represents has no fear of the outcome
of any suit brought against it.
"Our company is the oldest bond

A leading Portland merchant was
asked about his knowledge of the
company and said he believed its status
was all right, as be had looked It up
before investing In it. Its profits of 10

the bondholder Is declared to be in de

GIRL MISSING FROM HOME
Ethel Horseman. Anxious to Go on
Stasc, Suddenly Disappears.
Without warning or a word of goodbye,
Ethel Horseman, the lS-year-old daugh
ter of Mrs. D. H. Horseman, of SL Johns,
packed bag and baggage and left her
home Thursday nicht with the evident
intention of joining a theatrical troupe In
Portland. Trains have been watched by
detectives and show houses have been
visited by them, but the whereabouts of
the girl is unknown. It Is feared by her
mother, who has spent two anxious
nights awaiting her daughter's return,
that she has left the dtv for the
of meeting a company on the road.
.miss Jtorseman. according to her
mother, is stare crazv. She hnt nrttflvl
her friends repeatedly that she Intended

celed. but she was promised a role this
Spring, when the show was again to go
on the road.
Mrs. Horseman still has hopes, though
slight, that her daughter is In Portland
at a rooming-house with a girl named
Sadie Black. She has notified the police,
asking that search be made for the girl,
but so far no trace of her has been
found. Although only 15 years old. Miss
Horseman appears much older. She has
obtained a fair musical education and Is
anxious to display her ability before the
public.
"My daughter left home without a word
of warning." said Mrs. Horseman last
rdght. "I have asked the police to aid
me in the search for her. but so far I
have heard nothing. The girl is stage
crazy and I am sure she has left the
dty unless the is staying at one of the
rooming-houses with a friend."
Chief Grltzmachcr believes that the
girl will be found. He said last night that
this is not the first time she has disap
peared from home, and that chances are
two to one that she will be heard from
in a few days.

Material Sent to Salem aiid Test
Borings lor Bridge Across
Willamette "Will Begin.
No sooner was the Front-strct fran
chise question settled than the Wil
lamette Valley Traction Company put
forth added efforts to construct its
Sulem road at the earliest possible
date. Material nnd implements for
grading aro now being sent to the
Salem end of the line, where construc
tion will be rushed. A test boring
scow to determine the character of the
strata underlying the bottom of the
Wlllumette at Champoeg, where the
river will be bridged. Is now on its way
up the river and borings will be made
to determine the foundations required
for the bridge. This structure will be
a high bridge, about 63 feet above the
river at low water, so that boats can
pass under without opening a draw.
thus avoiding delays to the trains.
Three crews of surveyors arc at
work along the line, bridge and build
ing gangs are busy and two grading
outfits are at worn. More men wm ne
put on as the work proceeds, but the
most attention is now being paid to
alignment to secure long tangents and
the best possible grades north of ba
1cm. Speed Is tho first requisite, as one
of the pet plans of the company Is an
hour and a half schedule from Portland
to Salem. In freight hauling nlso. it
Is recognized that straight tracks ana
low grades pay for themselves many
times over. Some curves In the orig
inal survey on the Salem end have
been straightened out and the distance
shortened to some extent.
The Tualatin RIvor will be bridged
near Tignrdvllle with a single steel
span of ISO feet. No other 'bridges of
any moment arc to be built on the
Salem division, but when the line Is
extended from Salem to Eugene, work
on which will probably be begun dur
ing the coming season, a second bridge
across the Wlllnmctte will be neces
sary at Eugene.
The backers of the Willamette Trac
tion system express themselves as de
termined to take advantage of the
benefits the settlement of the fran
chise question left them, and while
they would have preferred their own
road being given the preference, they
are by no mentis shut out bccatise tho
United Railways has the preference
rights on Front street. The Willam
ette Traction line will be built through
South Portland, .striking the joint Wil
lamette Traction and United Railways
track at Moody and Water street".
Passenger cars will follow this track
along Water and Front streets to the
terminal of tho Willamette Traction at
Front and Jefferson streets, where a
brick passenger depot, having some
architectural pretensions, will be
built. Passengers will then be trans
ferred to the cars of the Portland Rail
way Company to reach their destina
tions In other parts of the city. Freight
trains will be run down Front street
to the Union depot terminals.
This part of the line is, to be con
structed bv the United Railways and
used Jointly by the two rival roads.
One year Is given In the franchise for
construction of the line along Front
and Water streets.
William S. Barstow. secretary of the
company, will leave for New York
next Thursday, where he will make
contracts for the steel bridge across
the Willamette, specifications first
having to be made by the Government
to insure the non-interference with
navigation. Orders will also be placed
for rolling stock, big electric locomo
tives, the first to be operated in the
Northwest, being a conspicuous part
of the equipment. Seventy-pound rails
of standnrd pattern will be used In
building the line: and rail bonds, which
are copper connections to secure the
transmission of the current, have al
ready been contracted for at a cost of
56000.
