r Engineer Bailey Says Tunnel
Is Only Modern Means
of Communication.
v
QUESTION IMPORTANT ONE
I Hf Pcrlarps Bridge Such as Is Pro
posed Is Already Out of Date and
Cites Experience of Other Cit
ies Situated Like Portland.
"Portland, like every other city built or
building on each side of a river, is rapidly
coming face to fate with the serious
question of quirk and convenient com
munication between the two parts of
the divided city.'- said William Bailey, an
engineer, last night. "A river is flrBt
crossed by means of boats, as occasion
demands, each Individual for himself,
then comes the Terry with regular trips;
then the pier bridge; then the draw
bridge; then the suspension or cantilever
bridge: then no bridge at all but tunnels.
Buch is the history of all cities situated
like Portland; New York and London,
for instance. Portland Is now at the
drawbridge stage, and I notice that high
suspension or cantilever bridges are now
being talked of to replace the draw
bridges. "Now before such a bridge is seriously
considered the people should look into
the matter of tunnels. With all due respect
for the opinion of gentlemen who favor
uch bridges, as well as for the engineers
yvho prepare and submit the plans for
such structures. I beg to call the atten
tion of the people of this good old City of
Portland, who will be called upon to foot
the bills In connection therewith, to the
fact that such bridges are rapidly becom
ing antique, out of date, and have little
place in modern engineering, and to the
solving of such problems of quirk trans
portation, without cramping the harbor
room and impeding the movement of the
shipping, ns confront the people of Port
land today.
Bridges Growing Obsolete.
"Such structures as the one mentioned
are rapidly becoming ohsolete and giving
i-Iace to the more modern and up-to-date,
tinderground tunnel system, in the schema
of things; as witness the millions of dol
lars that have been and are still being
spent in underground railroads and tun
nels under rivers in preference to over
head bridges, in the large cities of the
Kastern stales and Europe, to relieve the
congestion of traffic, under similar condi
tions. Portland at present is only a baby
but a very lusty one. I admit, compared to
the mighty city destined some day in the
future to be built here. This will come
Just as surely as the sun rises and sets,
when the vast natural resources tributary
to it and contained in a territory which is
an empire in itself, and which have as yet
barely heen touched, are fully developed
Then every foot of the somewhat limited
harbor space will be in demand to ac
commodate the great fleet of shipping
of all descriptions which will want to
llnd a harbor here.
"Then the piers and abutments of these
bridges will not only be in the way. but
will prove a constant menace and danger
to shipping, and particularly in times of
high water. Besides, we are hearing so
much these days of the poor quality of
steel being turned out of the mills and
of numerous accidents, with their ac
companying loss of life. Witness the col
lapse, a few weeks ago, of the immense
steel bridge In course of erection to span
the St. Lawrence River. In the vicinity
Of Quebec, a total loss of $10,000,000.
"During the past few years 1 have in
the course of business made a number of
visits of weeks, and sometimes months'
duration to New York, London. Paris
and other large cities of Europe, and
have been very much interested, as an
engineer, in the underground railroads
then being huilt. and which are now In
operation, to take care of the passenger
traffic of the streetcar system, and thus
relieve the badly congested streets of
the great bulk of this kind of traffic,
particularly in London and New York.
.Network of Tubes I'nder London.
"London particularly is underlain with
a vast network of so-called 'tube' rail
roads which are magnificent specimens
of modern engineering, splendidly
equipped with electric-car systems, similar
to the ones in use and run on the same
plan as the elevated railroads in New
York. 1 visited them a number of times
while they were in course of construction,
and I was much struck with the simpli
city and comparative cheapness of their
construction in comparison to the vast
benefits accruing therefrom. They con
sits of two tubes lying side by side
like the barrels of a shotgun, one for the
up and the other for the down traffic,
with stations and platforms at stated in
tervals. The passengers are moved to
and from the street level in huge eleva
tors as well as by a winding staircase
at every station. The fare on the first
one to be operated was 4 cents for the
entire journey or any intermediate sta
tion, and ran from the Bank to the West
End. a distance of about seven miles.
"The tunnels are cut with special boring
machinery run by compressed air, and
are lined with steel, with an inner lining
of concrete cement, the latter faced with
white porcelain tiling, or brick, at the
stations, which give it a beautiful clean
and neat appearance.
"The pioneer, however, and the one
most applicable to the present condition
of affairs in Portland, is the Blaekwall
tunnel. This is built particularly to ac
commodate the working people who have
to cross the river to and from Deptford
and Greenwich to the manufacturing dis
tricts of London proper. it is seven
' eighths fo a mile In length just about the
same as this proposed steel bridge; is
wide enough for two vehicles to pass each
other comfortably. In addition to side
walks on each side, and has arrangements
for drainage underneath the roadways. It
Is lined" with porcelain -faced brick, well
ventilated and lit by electric lights.
Horse omnibuses carry passengers through
it for 2 ornts. and connect with streetcars
at each end. All these projects have
proved a great success- from the start,
and have been remarkably free from ac
cidents, both during construction and
1, while in actual operation.
Tunnel May Be Built Cheaply Here.
"There is of course no comparison be
tween the cost of cement and structural
steed particularly here In Portland, with
Its cheap ocean transportation. It is quite
likely that such a tunnel can be built
under the Willamette without a per
manent steel lining, which would vastly
cheapen the cost. If nothing but the real
lint-class material was used In Its con
struction, it would he practically In
destructlhle and here for all time. Any
number of these can be built as occasion
arises without in the least being In the
way of ships, ether during or after con
struction Such a double tunnel can be
had for each street.
"Electrolysis, the great bugbear of all
steel structures, would also be eliminated.
while the same grades, or less, would
probably be available for the approaches.
In the benefits to accrue there Is really
no comparison, all being greatly in favor
of tunnels under the river, which would
be a very small Job indeed compared to
the great tunnels now being constructed
under the Hudson River from New York
for the big steam railroads. I have gone
through the Blaekwall tunnel many times,
and have often thought, while doing so.
what a fine thing for Portland such a
tunnel, or tunnels would be, whenever the
conditions warranted their building. I
have also often been struck with the
great similarity of location of this city
and London, both being located on fresh
water along an inland waterway and
harbor.
Columbia Bar to Be Overcome.
"Money and brains, of which there are a
plenty In the country, will eventually
overcome the difficulty of the bar at the
mouth of the Columbia, and a river
channel of any required depth can be
made by dredging. The London County
Council, in connection with the Port of
London, has appropriated and are now
spending the magnificent sum of $35. 000.000
to deepen the channel of the Thames ami
to enlarge the docks to accommodate the
modern leviathan steamships.
"Personally I have no ax to grind, and
do not wish to be understood as harshly
criticising the gentlemen having the steel
bridge project In mind, but in view of the
large sum of money to be expended, 1
think that It would be 1 wise for
the representatives of the taxpayers of
the city to at least fully Investigate the
merits, as well as. the demerits, of both
systems before deciding on either.
"If the people are In earnest on this
matter, and It certainly presses for rec-
HOARD OF TRADE BUILDING AS IT
ognition more and more every day, I
would respectfully suggest, in view of its
enormous importance to the Port and
City of Portland, that the Mayor appoint
a commission of enquiry composed of
representative business men and engineers
to examine fully into the details of the
matter.
"Before anything definite is done to
alter the present bridges beyond necessary
repairs a full report concerning both
bridges and tunnels should be published
and the choice between them be left to
the taxpayers and property-owners."
RATE ORDER FOUND VOID
SUPREME OOITIIT RULES ON
SPOKANE CONTROVERSY.
Commission Has No Authority to In
vestigate Unjust Freight Charges
Except on Complaint.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. Nov. 21. (Special. 1
The Railroad Commission order made two
years ago and designed particularly to
prevent the railroads from Increasing dis
tributing rates out of Spokane, was to
day held void by the Supreme Court.
Just before the hearing which the Com
mission had at Walla Walla to formu
late a general distance tariff, the Com
mission found there were a number of
special class and commodity rates In ex
istence. Including these rates out of
Spokane and special rates out of Seattle
and Tacoma. The Commission was ad
vised also that If It put In a general
distance tariff to apply In the entire
state, the railroads would probably re
taliate by increasing the Spokane and
other special rates.
The Commission in Its complaint, there
fore, against certain existing rates which
It contended were unjust and unreason
able, charged that these special rates were
Just and reasonable and at the hearing,
the railroad men laughingly testified as
to the justness of the rates, treating this
part of the hearl ng as a joke. But when
the order came out and the Commission
announced that it had formally found
these special rates just and reasonable
and ordered that they could not be
changed except to reduce them without
permission first from the Commission, the
railroads realized how serious the matter
was.
They promptly appealed to the Superior
Court of Walla Walla County, which held
that the provision was void, because be
yond the jurisdiction of the Commission
under the then laws. The Commission ap
pealed to the Supreme Court, which today
decided the same way. The court holds
that under the 1905 laws the Commission
had power only on complaint to investi
gate unjust freight charges and had not
power In the absence of the complaint
to declare any existing rates reasonable.
The Commission had rather expected
this adverse decision, so at the last ses
sion it asked and secured from the Legis
lature an amendment of the old law,
which will permit the Commission to
tako up on its own motion and determine
any existing rates Just and reasonable
and Issue an order that It cannot be
changed without permission of the Com
mission. It is possible that under this
decision the Railroad Commission will
have a new hearing and reiterate its
order under the new law.

owners also had a new lease executed
by the owner of the ground on which the

Lombard and Mr. Healy. Dr. Parker
I having sold them his interest in the new
I building.
This transaction is certain to arouse
I more than ordinary Interest, apart from
I the large amount of money Involved.
Some of the leading real estate dealers
of the city, when asked last night what
effect this transaction would have on
the local market, replied that without
doubt it would result in benefit in more
ways than one. In the first place, they
pointed out, the real estate business will
be stimulated, as people have been more
or less "up In the air" concerning the
immediate future, but now that It Is
found such an Important transaction
as the one referred o can be financed,
even if the banks are still under the
handicap of legal holidays, the result
cannot but restore much lost confidence.
Several concerns reported that deals
were being negotiated about as usual,
but that until yesterday there seemed to
be little prospect of closing them up.
This transaction they call the entering
wedge and say business will brighten up
again. Charles K. Henry says indications
are good for a lively business through
the Winter, and that the Board of Trade
deal would be very beneficial to the city,
both In restoring local confidence and in
proving to the outside world that real
estate in Portland is considered to be as
good for investment as It ever was.
The owners of the Board of Trade build
ing are to rush It to completion as rap
Idly as possible. The last story was
finished some weeks ago and the roof
is practically in place. When the work
is completed the building will have cost
$350,000, and Mr. Lombard said last night'
that it is now expected to have it done
by April 1. next year. Some delay over
the time set when contracts were first
let will be experienced in finishing the
Interior, by reason of alterations recently
made In the original scheme.
The intention of the owners is that the
building shall rank second to none on
the Coast. Every modern convenience
In the way of elevator service, electric
lighting and heating, tiling and, in fact,
all recent Improvements In buildings of
the first-class are to be Installed.

RAILROADS ARE TO HELP
Other Inducements for Cnvention of
Oregon Dairymen.
To make the sixteenth annual conven
tion of the Oregon Dairymen's Associa
tion at Portland. December 12 and 13. a
tate event is the plan of the Harrlman
officials at the general offices In the
Wells-Fargo building. Every possible en
couragement that will add to the at
tendance and increase interest In the
gathering Is being given the dairymen by
the railroad. Besides giving the customary
one and one-third rate for the round trip
to Portland from any point on the Harri
man lines In the state, traffic officials
agree to return to the shipping point, free
of charges, all exhibits brought here.
Circular letters have been sent out to
agents representing the O. R. & N. and
Southern Pacific lines in this state, urg
ing the fullest co-operation and directing
that agents meet with leading dairymen
and talk over the coming convention so
t ha t the rail road represen tat Ives ma y
know how best to further the best inter
ests of the convention. In addition,
agents in the Interior are urged to inter
est the local papers in the convention ii
order to arouse interest and induce dairy
men to participate.
"We should make this convention a'-Mg
affair." said William McMurray, general
passenger agent for the Harrimari lines
yesterday. "Dairying is becoming one
of the greatest industries of the state and
every encouragement should be given it.
Our lines stand ready to do r.il they can
to help the dairymen."
Tickets have been so arranged that
those from the interior of the state will
have two days in Portland after the con
vention closes without losing the benefit
of the reduced rates. This Is an attrac
tive feature in that many can take ad
vantage of the excursion to do holiday
shopping.
Many prizes have been provided for
the best exhibits of dairy products. The

Civic Societies Unite in De

PLANS TAKE WIDE SCOPE
Movement Started by East Side Push
Clubs May Extend Throughout
the State Will Protect Peo
ple's Law making Power.
After nearly three hours of delibera
tion, last night. In Carpenters' Hall, on
Grand avenue, delegates from the dif
ferent civic societies resolved to form a
permanent organization. This organiza
tion will be called the Initiative and Ref
erendum League. Its object will be to
discuss and propose legislation and in
voke the referendum on measures detri
mental to the people. H. G. Pafsons, on
taking the chair, explained the original
object and how the movement was
started by the appointment of a com
mittee by the United East Side Push
Clubs.
He explained that an attack had been
made on the Initiative and referendum by
the Pacific States Telegraph & Telephone
Company In refusing to pay the 2 per
cent gross earnings tax under a law
passed by vote of the people. The cane
would, he said, be carried to the Supreme
Court, backed by all the resources of the
telephone and other public service cor
porations with unlimited means for hiring
able attorneys, and it was proposed to
obtain aid for the Attorney-General of
the state to defend the law.
Practically all the push clubs, labor or
ganizations and civic bodies of the city
were represented. Joseph Gaston, a sin
gle repesentative. was present from the
Grange. Mr. Gaston said that the Grange
was interested and would be glad to take
part.
Harry Yanckwlch. an attorney, ad
dreBUUU llle IfiUellhi; explaining the op
eration of the Initiative and referendum
for the Information of the meeting.
George Anderson Thatcher also explained
portions of the law. Mr. Thatcher said
he had been Invited to prepare a paper
for the American Political Association,
which meets at Madison. Wis., In Decem
ber, showing the operation of the law in
Oregon.
As the discussion proceeded, the plan
took a much wider scope than at first in
tended, but this was considered necessary
to carry out the original Intention. The
new organization will defend the Initia
tive and referendum and discuss laws
that may be proposed, and besides will
go further and invoke the referendum
where necessary.
On motion, Mr. Parsons was made per
manent president, and Hjxry Yanckwlch
secretary. J. L. LoverldgU, JUMuli CMflC
ton,' S. B. Thayer. J. B. Thorpe and X.
Hughes were appointed a committee on
finance. On constitution and permanent
organization, the following were ap
pointed: Harry Yanckwlch. John A. Gold
ralner. S. B. Fisher, M. H. Robinson and
T. McAndrews. The officers, together
with John A. Goldralner, were made a
committee on publicity. The following
resolutions were then adopted as the
platform of the league, being introduced
by R. Harris:
Whereas, The initiative and referendum
hai been secured at the price of conscien
tious and untiring- labor on the part of the
citizens of Oregon, and has already abund
antly demonstrated Itself as the most ef
fectual safeguard of the Interests of the
people, and
Whereas. The action at law undertaken by
the Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph
Company, the real purport of which Is to
destroy the Initiative and referendum. Is be
lieved to be an attempt to discredit the in
telligence of the people of Oregon, and a
vicious attack upon their essential rights,
therefore be it
Resolved. That the delegates to this meet
ing, representing civil and labor bodies,
granges and citizens of Oregon, denounce the.
attack of the Pacific States Telephone &
Telegraph Company to destroy the Initiative
and referendum, and call upon all people to
Join in supporting the defense of the same

be It further
Resolved, That this meeting urges every
voter of Oregon and .very civic, fraternal,
