Work on Fills Suspended. The Port
of Portland dredge has suspended opera
tions on the fills west of Union avenue
for the present, having been called to
work on the river channel for- a while.
W. Lm. Boise, who is looking after these
fills, ays that the dredge will resume
operation on the land south of East
Morrison street, where a partial fill has
been made on the property of Mitchell,
Lewis & Staver. The intention Is to nil
all the land between East Morrison and
Belmont street to Union avenue and then
take up the matter of filling the low
lands fouth of Belmont street. Mr. Bolpe
says that the property owners are will
ing and ready for this fill to be con
tinued over the entire flat district, and
expects that the dredge will return to
the work as soon as the present Job Is
over. He also hope that arrangements
can be marte by which the big dredger,
which handles many times as much ma
terial as the smaller one, will be em
ployed on the large fill south from Bel
mont street.
Coppkh Pipes Dun Ei-ectroi.ysib. The
destruction by electrolysis of water pipes
continues. J. Fops said yesterday that
the service pipe at the house at East
Main anrl Eleventh streets has to be re
newed every few months. He says It is
constantly being ruined by electricity. At
the home of James Brady and the cottage
alongside on Grand avenue the service
pipes are destroyed every few months by
e!o-tricity, so it is claimed. J. H. John
son, living on Grand avenue and Bast
Harrison street, suffered so much loss
and trouble by holes being eaten into his
service mains that he put in copper pipes
and since then has experienced no more
trouble. Others in Stephens' . Addition
have put in copper pipes in order to pre
vent electrolysis. Councilman Rushlight,
who Is a practical plumber, knows of
many Instances that have come under
his observation of the destruction of
service water pipes by electricity and
has tried to get the street-car company
to do something to put a stop to this
destructive work.
Modern Engine-house.-The Brooklyn
engine-house on Powell street will be one
of the best and most convenient engine
houses in the city. District Engineer
Holden. of the East Side, drew the plans
and Included In the building everything
to make it up-to-date. The rooms are ar
ranged with reference to comfort and
convenience of the firemen. The building
will be completed In two weeks, but the
engine and engine company will not be
Installed before the first of the year, for
the reason there Is no money for that
purpose. The engine-house now being
built on East Twenty-eighth and Davis
streets Is on the pame plan as the Brook
lyn building. The next district on the
East Side will probably be Sellwood,
where the people are asking for better
fire protection.
Bins for Sullivan's Gulch Bridge.
Bids for erection of a brirtye across Sulli
van's Guleh will be opened today. City
Engineer Taylor Is asking for bids for
a steel structure according to the plans
he has prepared, and for reinforced con
crete, the plans to be furnished by the
bidders. When bids were asked for be
fore, none were submitted for reinforced
concrete. Engineers say that a reinforced
concrete bridge may be built in two
spans, but that the cost of the founda
tion will be almost as great as the bridge
Itself, and there would be long delay,
several years. In getting the bridge built.
whereas a bridge Is wanted as soon as
It can be built. A special committee from
the East Side Improvement Association
will Insist that a contract for a steel
bridge be let at once.

Mitchell. Lewis & Staver building on
East Morrison street still sticks fast. A
power averaging upward of 600 tons
failed to lift it out of the ground It Is

"PASSION PLAY" LECTURE
Tonight at Unitarian Church tinder
Auspices Woman's Alliance.
J. William Hudson will deliver tonight
at the Unitarian Church his noted illu
strated lecture on "The Passion Play As
I Saw It." The lecture will be dlvicted
into parts, between which Mrs. Sheldon,
who recently returned from an extended
musical course In Europe, will sing a
soprano solo.
Among the many pictures to be thrown
upon the large screen perhaps none are
more beautiful than those ot the talented
women who acted prominent and difficult
roles in the play as Mr. Hudson saw it
in Germany in 1900. Of the 685 perform
ers, 50 are women and 200 are children,
whose supreme ambition Is to be great
actors in "The Passion Play." It has
come to pass that the Oberammergau
people have become, through the con
stant training of 270 years, a race ot
actors.
While in Oberammergau Mr. Hudson
was able to obtain a number of pictures
of the villagers at their daily tasks,
which will be shown along with the
scenes from the play.
