WILL BE EXAMINED
BURNSIDE
Mayor Directs City Engineer
to Inspect Structure
Thoroughly.
NO DANGER OF COLLAPSE
Purree of Examination Is to Ascer
tain Its Exact Condition and
the Xecef-Jity lor Minor
Repairs.
Th condition of the Eurnside-stret
bridge Is to be thoroughly investigated by
City Engineer Tayior. wno was .yesterday
instructed by Mayor Lane to conduct his
"examination of the. alleged rotten condi
tion of the draw pier and report as soon
as possible. The bridge has been re
ported in bad condition, but some of the
rumors a to its condition have been
found to have been greatly exaggerated,
for there Is really no immediate ganger
of the central pier giving way. even
though the draw rest should be carried
away by a flood or sudden freshet.
I Engineer Harry Stutsman, of the Burn
side bridge stated yesterday that while
the draw rests were not any too strong
there was no danger that, they would be
washed away, for the reason that it would
require a swift current to dislodge the
structure. He also called attention to
the east, approach of thi bridge, the pil
ing of which is feaid to be decayed and
should be, replaced Otherwise the struc
ture Is safe and sound and will last for
several years.
Mayor Lane said last evening that he
knew nothing of the. condition of the
bridge outside of what he had heard. He
announced that he had instructed Citv
Engineer Taylor to examine the bridge
and report immediately on necessary re
pairs. While there is no actual danger to the
draw itself, for It Is built on piers that
will withstand the currents for years to
come, the draw pier is In need of consid
erable rebuilding, for the' planking Is so
rotten that it will hardly stand spiking,
and promises to fall in pieces in a short
lime.
The rumors to the effect, that the Burn
side bridge was in danger of collapsing
are totally without foundation, according
to the engineers employed on the struc
ture The structure could withstand
harder usage than it is put to at pres
ent, anr) with a new draw rest and the
piling of the east approach replaced, it
will be as strong as it ever was.
All bridges require new draw rests at
certain intervals, and the one on the
Burnside structure, has not been repaired
or rebuilt since the bridge was construct
ed. 13 years ago.
0 DANGER, SAYS V. B. CHASE
BurnMde. and Other River Bridges
Sale. Engineer Declares..
PORTLAND, Oct. 22. (To the Edi
tor I have been out of the city a
great part of the time lately, and have
not noticed the trend of affairs here
closely. But on my return Saturday
I noticed some fever in the air regard
ing the Burnside-street bridge.
Allow me to say that the public need
not worry about the foundation of this
bridge, nor of any other of the Wil
lamette River bridges, although none
of them has the hignest class of foun
dation. The best foundations are where
the masonry goes to bedrock or deep
into hard-pan. They are built by the
pnrumatic process and are the kind
the railwav people, are building in the
Columbia River at Vancouver. Foun
dations of this character would have
nearly doubled the cost of our bridges,
and owing to the stability of the Wil
lamette channel, have never been con
sidered necessary by any of the en
gineers operating here.
Tne first one built here was. I be
lieve, the steel railroad bridge and de
signed by the eminent engineer. George
H. Morrison. The first Morrison and
Madison-street bridges followed with
the same class of foundations Then
the Burnside-street bridge followed,
designed by the writer with founda
tions of the same general character,
but heavier than any o the. others.
There are Son piles under the pivot
pier, cut off close to the ground, .and
19 piles in each cylinder. The new
Morrison-street bridge foundations are
of the same kind. They were all well
rtp-rapptd, and if kept so by the au
thorities operating the bridges will last
indefinitely.
The Willamette River channel is
stable and permanent and does not
scour at. the site of the Burnside and
Steel bridges. But scouring is possi
ble under the east half of both the
Morrison and Madison bridges. for
there is a great de3l of sand there.
Fortunately, the current, does not at
tain its maximum velocity at these
places. Indeed the tendency of the
river is to deposit there.
Allow me to say here that If it is
necessary to narrow the harbor any
more I deplore :t. ne harbor Is so
narrow now that it is very dangerous
to handle the long, straight steel
freighters like the Maple Branch, when
there is much current In the river. In
deed. I question whether one of them
could turn around in the harbor un
der tier own steam, especially if the
water was ten feet above low.
Again the Willamette River has not
risen much for several years, so that
we have almost forgotten tne flood of
1S90. when floating logs bumped the
bottom cords of the Steel bridge and
some floating object bent one section
of the- lower cord of the Morrison
street swing span. The flood spread
out over the bottom land of East Port
land. But now we harp filled East Morri
son and Alder and are filling Belmont.
ro not be deceived when the flood
tomes again. The Willamette will de
mand It high water cross section, and
will havo It. Let us not narrow the
haroor any more, but dredge. That is
the way harbcrs in great, cities are
made and more room is needed, not
less.
While I am taking a fatherly inter
est in Portland, allow me to say that
I deplore the tendency to Increase the
public debt. I can remember a time
when the interest we sent away each
year was so much that we had noth
ing left to maintain the streets and
bridges with. Of course I recognize
that we have greater tax-paying power
now rhan we had then, but also that
we mav be stressed Just as hard and
be Just as poor as a city. The in
creased size of the city brings in
creased burdens, which bear heavily
when hard times come. Under pros
perous conditions there is always a
tendercy to borrow money and in
crease the fixed charges, which are
hard to bear when men are out of
work, rents go down, and trade falls
off.
There are some things we must do.
We must have more water. We need
the reservoir site. This is economy.
In four years more we must rebuild tne
Madison-street bridge at a. cost- of
about t500,000. These things we must
have, but we ought not to be so in
toxicated with our prosperity that we
buy diamonds on the installment plan.

AIXIAXCE IX FROM COOS BAY
Coastwise Liner Brings Large List of
Passengers From South.
The California Oregon Coast Steam
ship Company's Coos Bay liner Alliance
arrived at her dock at the foot of Couch
street shortly after S o'clock last evening
and landed 71 passengers from Marshfield
and North Bend. This is said to be the
largest number of passengers from Coos
Eay at any one voyage of the vessel, for
her previous record number w-as recorded
during the time she ran to Eureka.
Captain Bernard Kelly reports a fine
trip up from Coos Bay and had he not
been delayed on the trip south rlie
steamer would have reached here i.i time
to sail on her regular schedule tonight,
but on account of the loss of a day at
Astoria on the down trip she will not
get away before tomorrow evening.
The Alliance came up rather light, for
the product of the Coos Bay salmon can
neries is not yet ready for shipment, and
considerable space had been reserved for
the pack. Owing to the delay on the
down trip the steamer could not wait over
for this shipment and will bring several
hundred tons of the season's catch on the
next voyage.
Among the passengers on the Alliance
Mayor Lane Would Supersede
Bridges With Tunnels.

He Declares- Tunnels Would Tlti

A subway under the river near the
point where Madison-street bridge now
stands is Mayor Lane's solution of the
bridge question, which has bothered the
people and the taxpayers of Portland for
so long. It will be necessary to rebuild
the Madison-etreet bridge in a few more
years, and the great expense of construct-

ABERDEEN. Wash. Oct. 22 (Special)
The Ocean Fier Company, with a cap

The company will build docks and ware
houses. Captain I. N. Da.y. of Portland, was a
visitor today looking after the two barges
which are undergoing extensive repairs
at the Lindstrom shipyards. These
barges, which have been used for Gov
ernment work in carrying rock to the
Jetty, have been remodeled with the pur

Quinsy, 6praina and Swellings Cared.

ing and maintaining so many bridges is a
heavy burden for the taxpayers.
"I favor the building of a subway, for I
think it is the easiest and most practical
solution to the bridge question," said the
Mayor. 'V.V subway would cost only about
twice what a bridge will, and In a few
more years it will be necessary to build
another bridge. Bridges wear out, while
subways do not. The expense of main
taining so many drawbridges is heavy and
not practical. When a bridge is opened to
allow ships to pass through, traffio is
stopped and congested, and besides it is
sometimes difficult and even dangerous
for the big ocean liners to pass thorugh
the draw.
'The delay and danger of passing up the
river beyond the bridges has made it nec
essary for the large ocean liners to load
their cargoes at St. Johns. Now-, on the
other hand, suppose that subways be sub
stituted for the bridges as they wear out.
In a few years all the bridges would be
done away with and the taxpayers re
lieved of the heavy burden of maintaining
them. There would be no congestion in
traffic and the steamers could sail along
the entire water front of Portland. The
city would be one large harbor and prop
erty for a number of blocks back along
the river would greatly increase in value.
"The benefits to be derived from such a
move would, in my estimation, greatly
outweigh any disadvantages that might
arise. Bury the bridges as they fall and
build subways instead. Many cities have
adopted this system on all the principal
car lines, and a subway is being built
across the English Channel at the present
time.
"If other cities do this, why should not
the subway system prove successful in
Portland?" said the Mayor.
"What would j-ou do with the railroad
bridge?" was asked.
"Make them dive also." he said.
STEAMER WYXKRIC LIBELED
Longshoreman Asks Damages or
Accident Sustained on Vessel.
In spite o the fact that she com
pleted loading yesterday, the British
steamer Wyneric was unable to get
away us scheduled. This time the de
lay was caused by libel proceedings
instituted against the vessel and Cap
tain P. G. Nevin by Karl Ecklund, a
longshoreman.
According to the libelant, he was
employed on the vessel on October 4,
and while engaged at work in the deep
tank used for storage of water ballast
near hatchway 4, he was struck on
the head by a falling timber and suf
fered injuries for which, he desires to
collect damages in the sum of $1000.
He alleges that the fall of the timber
was due-to the negligenee of the ves
sel in supplying durable tackle, and
also that the place where he was at
work was not lighted and therefore he
had no opportunity of dodging the fail
ing timber.
The Wyneric lias been delayed some
during her visit here by the longshore
men's sympathetic strike, although
work on her ceased for only one day.
On another working day the vessel
was handicapped by tfie employment
of a green gang of longshoremen when
the union men refused to work her
cargo. A bond covering the amount
of the suit will probably be filed to
day and the steamer will be permitted
to proceed on her way to the Orient.
She has a. cargo of 3.(559.216 feet of
lumber, valued at $49,263.95, which is
destined for Shanghai.
The British steamer Fulham. Cap
tain Gow. arrived up from Astoria last
evening and anchored in the lower har
bor during the night. She will be towed
up to the Portland Lumber Company's
mill this morning. She is from San
Francisco ami will load a cargo of
over 3,000,000 feet of lumber for the

COLUMBIA NEMLY " flEAYD
WILL RESUME PORTLAVD-SAX
FRAXCISCO RUN "OV. 1.
Long-Delayed Rudder Arrives From
the East and Will Soon
Be Shipped.
The San Francisco & Portland
Steamship Company's liner Barracouta,
Captain Doran. arrived at the Ains
worth dock yesterday morning, after a
stormy passage up the coast from San
Francisco. She brought a full cargo of
general merchandise, consisting mostly
of sugar and canned goods, which is
being discharged as fast as possible.
The vessels of this line are not yet
affected' by the longshoremen's strike,
and no trouble is experienced in get
ting gangs to handle her cargo. The
same conditions . exist .regarding the
Portland & Asiatic liner Nicomedia.
which shifted yesterday from Mont
gomery dock to. the Alaska dock, where
the balance of her Oriental cargo is
beiig discharged.
Captain Doran, of the Barracouta
stated that the vessel experienced very
rough weather on the up trip, but that
she managed to make fair headway in
spite of the elements.
The steamers Costa Rica and Aztec,
of the same line, are loading at San
Francisco, and will shortly sail for
this city with full cargoes. The steam
er Columbia, of this line, will soon be
ready for operation, and will probably
sail for Portland about November 1,
carrying both freight, and pasengers.
Carrying of passengers was abandoned
by the San Francisco & Portland Com
pany upon inauguration of the sailors'
strike, last Summer.
When the Columbia goes into com
mission she will be one of the finest
equipped vessels on the North Pacific
Ocean. She has been laid up ever since
the San Francisco earthquake, during
which she sustained serious damage by
overturning in the drydock. The gen
eral repairing of the craft was com
pleted several weeks ago, but owing to
the delay of the Eastern manufactur
ers in building a new rudder for her,
she has been unable to resume opera
tions. The rudder was completed last
July, but on arriving at San Francisco
a flaw was found in it, and necessi
tated the construction of another one.
Captain Doran stated that this rudder
has been on the road for a. month, and
when traced, it was found on a broken
down car on a siding at Omaha.
The demand for passenger accommo
dations to San Francisco by the water
route has been extremely heavy all
Summer, and thousands, of tourists
have been disappointed, for the reason
that there was only one pasenger ves
sel on the run, and she could not take
one-third of the people desiring to
make the trip.

GOT RICH QUICK, DIES POOR
Prince of Swindlers Ends Life in
Stupor in Jail.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22. Dying in a dark,'
chill cell at the Stanton-avenue police
station. M. J. Carpenter, said to have
been a prince of "get-rich-quick" swin
dlers, left behind him friends who pro
tested indignantly yesterday that, he
should have been taken to his dwelling
or to a hospital.
Carpenter was arrested near his
boarding-house by Policeman J. F. Sul
livan, who charged him with drunken
ness. The prisoner said he was ill. that
he had taken an overdose of morphine
and was walking it off. At the station
Carpenter appeared dazed and the desk
sergeant said drugs or liquor . might
have caused his condition. He died a
few hours later.
Carpenter came to Chicago about
two years ago, when complaints against
him began to come in. These were
multiplied rapidly and he was arrested
on December 2, 1S93, but the case
against him was dismissed. On Au
gust 2 he -v-as arrested again on com
plaint of Frank McCuddy. and together
with E. C. Talmage, Martin Rohan and
Fred Todd, was taken before the grand
jury. According to McCuddTy, Carpen-
ter and Talmage had agreed to bond a
large fruit plantation, on which he had
an option for $1,000,000. McCuddy said
he put up t7500, but heard nothing of
the bonds.
Talmage. Rohan and M. Todd were
arrest-d soon afterwards, and together
with Carpenter were Indicted by the
July grand jury on a charge of swin
dling. Carpenter was arrested early in
August, and was released on bail. Soon
afterward it is said lie began to drink.
He pawned his overcoat, his watch, his
cuff buttons and nearly everything else
he had for $50, the police say. and he
had gone down to his last cent when
Policeman Sullivan met him.

MANILA, Oct. 22 The native press is
jubilant over the proposed change in Pro
vincial Boards ana declares faith in the
promises of the government. Some give
credit to Governor-General Smith for the
results of the assembly of Governors
Foreigners, however, are withholding
opinion of the assembly's recommenda
tions. The native papers believe that the
proposed changes will be beneficial at this
time, and that Congress will approve oi
the suggested changes.
The Governors' Assembly also recom
mends that Filipinos be made assistants
to the heads of bureau departments, and
that Governors and Municipal Presidents
be given the power to pardon in cases not
involving fines in excess of 200 pesos.
Many minor recommendations are alsc
made.
The chief recommendation of the Gov
ernors' Assembly ia that the manner of
the selection of Provincial Boards of gov.
ernment be altened so that several of the
members be elected instead of being ap,
pointed by the insular government. These
members are now Americans. Under the
proposed order. Filipinos would be chose
for these offices, thus giving Filipinos
control of the boards.
