r FAVOR HIGH BRIDGE United Push Clubs Indorse Board of Trade Plan. ALSO DEMAND VIADUCT Represents the of Board Explain Both Projects The Free Water Amendment CondemnedBe lieved to Contain a Joker. The TTnlted East Side Push Club last night Indorsed the movement Inaugu rated by the Portland Board of Trade for rebuilding the Madison street on a hlffher elevation and for the construc tion of a steel viaduct for the East Side, thus enabling Sg per cent of the mosquito fleet to pass under the bridge without opening the draw and remov ing all danger from passing trains on the East Side. This mutter was brought up by J. B. LAber and F. H. Goudy, of the Board of Trade. Mr. l.aber ad dressed the club at soma length ex plaining the advantage of the higher bridge and the viaduct. He said that It was proposed to raise the bridge nine feet at the draw, which would give nn elevation of 55 feet above low water. The viaduct, said Mr. Laber. would he carried back to Union avenue, above ill the tracks of the Harrlman lines, the upper deck being on a level with the ti"cond floor of the buildings on both Fide of Hawthorno avenue. This plan is Identical with the one proposed by Architect Otto Kleemann for Grand avenue. Mr. l.aber said that this via duct ought be of steel. He urged that in the rebuilding of Madison bridge the future be considered. The East Side, he said, already had n large population and was growlns rapidly and the matter of future popu lation should bo considered in replacing the bridge. Mr. Goudy also spoke along the same lineH, and read from the report of the Board of Trade Committee. Will Secure Indorsements. After the matter had been thorough ly discussed, the federation Indorsed he Board of Trade plan, and G. Evert Hnker. C. Bon Kclsland. I.. W. Wells. II. B. Dickinson and Pr. I.. M. Davis were appointed a special committee to hrlng the matter to the attention of the affiliated Push Clubs and secure their Indorsement. John K Cordray. J. M. Healy and Thomas Hislop were appointed to take up the question of lighting Grand ave nue with additional electric lights as soon as the hard pavement Is laid. The object Is to light the street between Hawthorne avenue and East Burnside the same as the West Side streets are lighted. Extensive discussion of the proposed nmendemnts to the charter affecting the water supply was Indulged In. The Free Watrr Association's plan was con demned by & unanimous vote. Council man Bennett declared that It contained a 'joker." and that if It carried It would mean that the 2-mlll bridge tax would be abolished and bridge-building would be stopped. Dr. William -eVeny, who assisted In the preparation of the other water amendments indorsed by the water committee, explained their purport. It was the general sentiment of the Fed erated Clubs that all reasonable effort should be put forth to carry these amendments at the June election, in asmuch as they carried the provision for the second Bull Run pipe-line. The building of this pipe-line Is regarded lis the most Important proposition to the East Side coming up at the .lune .lection. The rebuilding of the Madi son bridge Is next. Joseph Buchtel. of the committee ap pointed to ask that the requirements of firemen be modified, reported that he had examined into the requirements, and it was bis judgment that they were reasonable, no modifications being nec essary. Mr. Buchtel said that the rea son It was difficult to obtain firemen was because men preferred other occu pations. On motion, the federation sdopted the resolutions passed by the East Side Improvement Association on the deatli of Henry W. Goode. It was suggested that the federation discuss the proposed amendments to the charter, which will be voted on at the June election, and Secretary Rles land was Instructed to procure copies of the explanations as published in The Oresoulan as guides in the discus- Tired slon. This action was taken in order that the representatives may gret an understanding: of the purport of the several amendments. Y. M. C. A. SECRETARY HERE Says Town of 350 Has Society With 675 Members. George D. MoDlll. lnternationl Secre tary of the railroad department of the Y. M. C. A., arrived In Portland on the S:30 O. R. & N. train last night. He Is making one of his regular trips to the Coast, having visited prominent cities of Utah and Idaho en route. He will leave Wednesday night for San Francisco and the East. In speak ing of the progress of the railroad as sociations and also of the Industrial associations of the Southwestern part of the country, Mr. McDIU said last night: "Onjny way out I came through Po catello, Idaho, where there Is a flour ishing association of railroad men. Plans are being laid for their new building to cost $30,000, and the asso ciation Is now advertising for bids. "A strange thing has happened at Helper. Utah, a town with a popula tion of 350. At the end of the first year after the. association was organi sed at this place, it had a member ship of more than 675. This Is ex plained by the fact that Helper is a division point on the road, so that i many of the men on the runs back and forth became members, though they were not residents of the town. The railroad superintendents would not believe that an association among railroad men would hold together long, so they organized a club In the town before the coming of the T. M. C A. The club fell through, and the Y. M. C. A. took Its place. The association work in vVelser. Pay ette, Caldwell. Nampa, Emmett, Twin Kails. Is going forward rapidly. At Payette I met 25 business men who are interested in association work and we talked over the prospects for a larger work In Payette." DAILY CITY STATISTICS Birth.

THE MORXDfG OKEGO.VIAN, M"EDNESDAY, A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysterics, is unfit to care for children ; it ruins a child's disposition and reacts upon herself. She is a source of misery to 'every one who comes under her influence, and unhappy and miserable herself. She cannot help it, as her condition is due to shattered nerves caused by some feminine derangement, with back ache, headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge of nervous prostration. Proof is monu mental that nothing is better to regulate a woman s health than Thousands and thousands of women testify to this fact. Mrs. Nellie Makham, of 151 Morgan St., Buffalo, N.T., writes: " Dear Mrs. Tinibam: I was a wreck from nervous prostration. I suffered so r did not care what became of me, and my family despaired of my recovery. Physi cians failed to. help me. I was urged to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com. pound, and I want to tefl you that it has entirely cured me. I think it is the finest medicine on earth, and I am recommending it to all my friends and acquaintances." Mrs. Geo. A. James, a life-long resident of Predonla, N.Y., writes : Dear Mrs. Tmkbem : I was in a terribly run down condition and had nervous prostration caused by female trouble, in fact I had not been wel since my children were born. This condition worked on my nerves, and I was irritable and miserable. I had tried many remedies without getting much help, but Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg etable Compound brought me back to health and strength. It has also carried me safclv through the Change of Life. I cannot too strongly recommend yonr medi- HE WOULDN'T TREAT Stablemen Make an Example of Lawyer Schlussel. GREET HIM WITH CURSES Attorney Has Three Hostlers Arrest ed H. Phillips Bitterly Deceived by Free Beer Sign Happen ings of the Police Court. If lawyer Mark Schulssel had bought beer for the stable gang the trouble would not have occured. The stable employes at the Washington street es tablishment, where the attorney has been keeping his horse wanted beer, or some fitting recognition of their services in sitting up for the Schlussel rig. They say they were repeatedly promised refreshments. So on Kunday evening, when the distinguished slot machine representative hove in sight with a jaded horse and promises of future ref reshments, it was more than they were willing to stand. Had one stable employe, no matter what his size, attempted to abuse law yer Schlussel, there might have been work for the medical profession. Mr. Schlussel, himself said in the Police Court yesterday, that he never would have permitted one man to talk to him In the way he was talked to on tills particular occasion. There were three of them, however, ail able bodied and strapping and well discretion al ways has been the better part of valor. The attorney thus was compelled to look to the law for retribution. He had the three men before Judge Cam eron yesterday forenoon on charges of using abusive language. "A nd such language I never - heard before from the mouth of human beings," the law yer advised the court. Inasmuch as unkept promises of beer do not constitute a right to abuse the party making the promises. Judge Cameron found one of the stable men, Joe Wright, guilty and fined him $10. The others did not appear to have had any direct connection with the case and were not sentenced. No wonder the saloon at the north east comer of Second and Burnside street was doing a big business and An Optical Illusion. losing money. Out on the Second street side there was a glaring sign rearing the legend ! ree Irish Beer "Irish Beer' was something entirely new to the devotees of the German article, and the fart It was free, added to the attractiveness of the sign. H Phillips was among those to read from the Fourth street side. Phillips hadn't a tent and a growing thirst, so natur ally, the thing appealed to him. He went inside and emptied schooner af ter s.-hooner. After the tenth drink, the bartender became susptclous. and demanded a settlement. Phillips was truly amated. He demanded to know what was meant by advertising free : r-5 i IV 1 rvousMothers beer, and then demanding payment for it. The bartender didn't stop to argue the question. He simply got out the proverb ial "bung-starter," leaped over the counter and cast Phillips mangled re mains out on the sidewalk, where he lay untll the police picked him up and put him In the inebriated division of the municipal prison. Phillips says this is a cruel world where frauds of that sort are allowed without police interference. But It is pointed out that he is not sufficiently painstaking in his literary researches. The sign In question begins on Second street and curves its way gracefully around to Burnside. Had Phillips read the complement of the Second street ver sion he would have seen that the sign reads: "Free Hot Irish Stew; With Beer Five Cents. ' ' That the words are ar ranged in a double column so that the legend. "Free Irish Beer ' appears on Second street and the rest on Burnside is Phillips' misfortune. There are altogether too many Ah Sings who are in the habit of gambling and getting caught by the police. Three Ah Sings were in the Municipal Court yes terday. The only way of telling them apart was by their respective lawyers and at that they were mixed up. John Iogan's two Ah Sings were fined $15 for Iawyer Makelln's Ah Sings crimes. An hour was required to get the thing straightened out. It was suggested that they change their names. Makelln's Chinaman might pre serve his name In the present tense, and IOgan's might choose the past tense. Ah Sang and the participial form. Ah Sing ing. Or, again, one or two of them might go into grand opera and select some such name as Sig. Ahsingnoretti. Tom Johnson was continually laughing and the police thought he must be crazy or drunk. "Why a man should laugh is more than a policeman can understand. The police haven't had cause to laugh for a long time not since the domino burglar or Bruin came to town. Hence Johnson's facial contortions annoyed such wearers of the blue as beheld the spec t acle. They watched for a chance t destroy that smile and the other evening when Johnson happened to be out a little late they arrested him on a charge of be ing on earth after midnight. But he only laughed about it when they took him in. and he laughed some more when he was arraigned before Judge Cameron yester day forenoon. He was so full of joy that an explosion seemed imminent. His temperament was the envy of everyone present. It seemed to be worth more than all the millions Carnegie doesn't intend to give away. His happiness continued to flow tn an unchecked stream until even the court begun to think that a man of this tem perament In these pessimistic days must surely be abnormal, or a sufferer from mental idiocyncraciea that ought to be looked into. Johnson, accordingly, was sent up to the County Court to undergo an examination as to his sanity. TRACT SELLS FOR $109,200 Purchasers Will BYmnd New Town on Peninsula.

RAILS FOR STREETS Vancouver to Have Complete Streetcar System. WILL ALSO TAP COUNTRY Headed by W. H. Moore, Company Has Ordered Material and Will Begin Construction Before End of Present Month. Vancouver, Wash., Is soon to have a street railway and the promoters of the project, who are Portland and Is An geles people, will build a system into the surrounding country. Ralls have been ordered and deliveries will com mence not later than April 20, when construction work will be started. W. H. Moore, president of the Oregon Savings & Trust Company, is at the head of the Washington Railway & Power Company, the corporation form ed to develop power In Clark County and gridiron that part of Washington with a. network of electric lines. Fran chises have been secured in Vancouver and petitions for similar permits on county roads leading out of that city are now pending before the County Court. Five miles of 60-pound rails have been ordered from A. J. McCabo, a Port land railway equipment dealer, and the first deliveries will be in Vancouver by April 20. As soon as the steel arrives, it .will be laid on Vancouver streets. It is the plan to lay about four miles within the city limits first and then extend the system through the nearby country. Two county roads leading out of the city into rich prune growing districts will probably be used by the company. Plans have been made to lay rails to Washougal and another branch to Proebstel, which Is four miles from Vancouver In another direction. A wide suburban system of trolley lines will be built, says President Moore, as the country develops and additional lines are needed. Already there is much traffic available for electric lines in the districts to be entered. Associated with President Moore is L. B. French, Arthur Langguth and H. C. Phillipps of los Angeles, and Judge Miller of Vancouver. Mr. French is vice-president of the company; Mr. Langguth secretary, and Mr. phillipps treasurer. Judge Miller is general counsel. The project has been suc cessfully financed and everything Is ready for construction. A steam electric plant will be built in Vancouver and power for the city lines will be generated there. It is planned to develop water power when the sys tem requires additional energy. ROAD INSISTS ON INCREASE Lumber Rate Will Go In Effect, De spite Protests. Although there is the most strenuous opposition to the proposed Increase of lumber rates from Willamette Valley points to the California markets, officials of the company maintain that the in crease will be placed In effect regardless of the complaints. Traffic officials have been notified that the matter will be taken up by the State Railroad Com mission at Salem April 15, and that it the officials desire, they may attend and present their side of the case. An interesting festure ot the case is, however, that the Commission has no jurisdiction in the matter whatever, the rate being an interstate tariff. The Com mission may, however, investigate the subject and make recommendations to the Interstate commerce Commission, which may or may not take action. It would be some time, tn this event be fore the rate is ordered cancelled in case the interstate body should decide to take up the cudgel of the lumbermen. Millmen throughout the Valley are bit ter against the Southern Pacific for the announced increase in tariffs and say that It means ruin to the small mills. The Increase is one of J2.13 a 1000 feet on the freight rate to Ban Francisco from the Valley. "When the new Tate becomes effective. It will further boom the water carrying trade to California ports. Valley mills will ship their product to Portland and transfer to vessels for carriage to its destination. V. A. Ross to Get Appointment. Advices have reached Portland of the appointment of W. A.
