E CONTRACT
FOR LOCAL FIRM
Irregularity May Disqualify the
Bid of Minneapolis Bridge
& Machinery Company.
SITE ON UNION AVENUE
East Twenty-elghth-Street Structure
Also Considered, but Action Post
poned, as Specifications Are
Considered Too Indefinite.
Specifying conditions on the back
of a certified check may cost the Min
neapolis Bridge & Machinery Company
the contract for the steel bridge pro
posed to be constructed across Sulli
van's Gulch on Union avenue. This
firm is fully responsible, and its bid
of 164.819 Is the lowest received, but
when the bridge committee of the
Executive Board met yesterday after
noon to act on the matter, it was dis
covered that the check accompanying
the bid is conditional. The firm's re
quirement that the city let the con
tract within ten days from the date of
receiving the proposals is believed by
some to be irregular. The matter was
referred to City Attorney Kavanaugh,
and upon his opinion will depend the
outcome.
Mr. Kavanaugh was communicated
with by telephone regarding the con
ditional check, and said that the check
Is good for ten days only, and is then
clearly invalidated. He advised that
in future such checks be not accepted.
Because of this, Marcus A. Fleischner,
chairman of the committee, expressed
a doubt as to the advisability of ac
cepting the check at this time. The
matter will come up at the special
meeting of the Executive Board to
be held next Friday afternoon.
Local Firm Next in Line.
The Northwest Bridge Company, a
Portland firm, is the next lowest bid
der its figure being $64,950 or J131
higlier than that of the Minneapolis
concern. If the conditional check of
the latter company Is declared irregu
lar, it is thought certain the local
firm will receive the award. Both
firms are determined to have the con
tract and, through their representa
tives, yesterday afternoon promised
first-class work in the shortest time
ever allowed for a big bridge in the
history of the. city.
The Executive Board has no choice
in the matter of letting contracts, as
the charter requires that all shall be
let to the lowest responsible bidder.
Bids were previously received on the
Vnion-avenue bridge, and City Engi
neer Taylor said yesterday afternoon
that by re-advertising a saving of
$10,00 has been made, as the bid of
the Minneapolis Arm shows a reduc
tion of that amount.
In the matter of the projected re
inforced concrete bridge across Sulli
van's Gulch, on East Twenty-eighth
street, it Is regarded as certain the
"warn lI CUIILrttCl win KO to 3acKUS,i
Otebisch & Joplin, who put in a bid of
$77,000, this being the lowest. The
specifications are too indefinite to suit
City Engineer Taylor, who declined to
advise letting the contract until the
plans were furnished, as was required
by the advertisement calling for bids.
The company agrees to furnish all of
the details that Mr. Taylor desires.
Xeeds of East Side.
Delegations from the various East
Side improvement associations were
present yesterday to ascertain the
cause of delay in letting the contract,
nnd Councilman Bennett, of the Eighth
ward, was also present. J, Woods
Smith spoke for the Holladay Park
Association. Frank Motter for the
East Hwenty-eighth Street Association
and M. G. Munly for the North East
Side Association. All expressed the
sentiment that a bridge must be built
nt once, as there is a crying need
for it. in order that traffic may bo
accommodated and the districts better
united for service in case of fire. They
advised, however, against awarding
any contract until all plans and speci
fications were satisfactory to the cltv
, officials.
As- there had been an impression
:imong some of the residents that
Mayor Lane and the members of the
Executive Board were "holding up"
the contract, that matter was men
tioned. Mayor Lane assured the dele
gations he was favorable to a bridge,
but declared he wanted to give the dis
trict a good bridge, and that he was
determined to know what he is doing
before letting the contract: that he de
manded all of the plans and specifica
tions first, to avoid litigation after
wards. Marcus A. Fleischner, chair
man of the bridge committee, also de
clared to those present that no oppo
sition exists in the board to the bridge
protect, and assured all that the con
tract will be let when it is satisfac
torily arranged.
CHARGED WITH FORGERY
Charles San ford. Adopts fnusual
Method of Collecting Debt.
Charles Sanford, a dapper young man
of 25, is in serious trouble as a result of
his odd methods of collecting a debt. His
system is more than likely to secure
him a term of years in the United States
prison. y
Sanford's offense was that of forging
the name of an acquaintance. Henry
UraJy. to a money order. The offense
was committed at Carson, Wash. In
some way. it is alleged, Sanford learned
that Mrs. Brady had sent her husband
$8. He called at the postofflce, got the
letter containing the order. It is alleged,
forged Brady's name and collected the
money from the postmaster. He was ar
rested In Portland by the' police two
weeks ago.
When arraigned before Commissioner
Sladen yesterday he pleaded not guilty
nnd gave the naive explanation that
Brady owed him money and that he took
this means of collecting the amount.
Brady denied positively having owed the
fellow a cent. Sanford was held for trial
before the United States Court at Seat
tle.. DEPOSITORS ACT SLOWLY
rlai for Reopening Merchants Na
tional Bank May Bo Abandoned.
Delay in signing for time certificates
of the Merchants National Bank is en
dangering the reorganization scheme
whereby it is proposed to reopen the
bank's doors. Unless the desired amount
of subscriptions is secured within the
next fuw days, a receivership for the in-
BRIDG
stitution is probable.- Bank Examiner
Wilson, who is in charge of the bank in
the Interests of the Controller of the
Currency, is somewhat discouraged over
the slow action of depositors in bringing
in their demand balance proofs and ex
changing them for long-term certificates.
'I want it strictly understood," said he,
"that I shall not permit this bank to re
open until we have enough cash
on hand through collections or have re
ceived enough deposits signed off so that
we can meet every demand made upon
the bank at once. A lot of depositors
will have to come to the front yet be
fore we will have reached this point and
every hour of delay is jeopardizing the
interests of all having funds - in the
bank."
The campaign .for subscriptions by de
positors will be continued for a while
longer but Just how much time will be
given to this work Is not known. Bank
Examiner Wilson says word may be re
ceived any day from the Controller of
the Currency to throw the bank into a
receivership. Should this occur, it is con
ceded it would be a bad thing for all de
positors, for the asset are certain to
shrink, it is said, to a great extent when
they are disposed of at forced sale.
ONE LICENSE IS REVOKED
BAKER & LARSON MUST CLOSE
THEIR SALOOX.
Fallon, Against Whom Damaging
Testimony Was Presented, Is
Granted a Rehearing.
The license of Baker A Larson, pro
prietors of a saloon at Third and Tay
lor streets, was revoked by the liquor
license committee of the City Council
yesterday morning. The only means
the proprietors now have of securing
reconsideration of the action is to em
ploy a lawyer and instruct him to plead
for a reopening of the case. This was
the tack taken by Tom Fallon yester
day, and as a result he won his point
Attorney John F. Logan appeared
for Fallon and said he had some new
evidence to submit. It is said that the
committee voted to revoke Fallon's
license, thinking he would have an op
portunity to make a fight and get the
action reversed in the full Council, but
It developed that the Council did not
care to take up the merits of the case.
The committee therefore decided to
consider the new evidence at 3 o'clock
this afternoon.
It was testified at the hearing that
Fallon's saloon, which is located in the
North End, was a den of thieves; that
the gang of thugs who shot Policeman
Sorenson and robbed the Sellwood sub
postoffice congregated there to concoct
their plot: that Fallon employed ex
convicts as bartenders; that he never
assisted the police In capturing a crim
inal; that he knows all of the criminals
and harbors them; that his place is the
very worst resort in the North End.
This evidence caused the committee to
revoke Fallon's license. Now Mr. Lo
gan hopes to overcome the weight of
this testimony.
The evidence that caused the com
mittee to revoke the Baker & Larson
license was not nearly so damaging,
and therefore it is thought that if the
committee allows Fallon to reopen his
case, it may take similar action in the
case of Baker & Larson. That women
frequented the Baker & Larson sa
loon, and that the proprietors knew it
and made no effort to stop it, was the
principal testimony against the place.
Acting Detectives Kay and Kienlen
were the witnesses.
Fred Fritz, proprietor of a large re
sort at Second and Burnside streets,
was cited to appear before the com
mittee, and the members will visit his
establishment with Captain of Police
Bruin, who promises to point out where
Fritz is violating the law. Captain
Bruin declares that in conducting a
theater in connection with the saloon
Fritz is violating the ordinances.
Pechtem & Schlenk, proprietors of the
Quelle, were reprimanded by the com
mittee for selling liquor on Sunday.
FAILS TO RETURN HOME
Relatives Fear for "Welfare of Pearl
Anderson.
' James A. Anderson, of 487 1-2 Davis
street. has reported to the police that
his daughter, Pearl, aged 16 years, has
disappeared. According to the parent,
the girl left home last Friday after
noon to make a purchase at a meat
market, and instead of returning with
her purchases, had them delivered.
Since that time she has not been seen
by her relatives or friends.
Miss Anderson is described as hav
ing blond hair, large blue eyes, fair
complexion, and wearing glasses. When
she left home she wore a dark plaid
skirt, white waist, red sweater and a
red silk raincoat. Her hat was brown
and trimmed with gray feathers.
Besides her parents, the only rela
tive of the missing girl in the North
west is a married sister living at Seat
tle. Inquiry elicited the information
that the girl had not been seen or
heard from at that place.
Burlington Official Here.
J. E. Buckingham, assistant general
passenger agent for the Burlington nnes

Veteran River Pilot Answers
Final Summons in Pilot
House of Lurline.
HIS PILOT LANDS THE BOAT
Master Drops Dead at Wheel as the
Steamer Is Passing Through the
Draw of the Steel Bridge Was
Widely-Known River Man.
I
Captain William E. Larkins, master of
the steamer Lurline, dropped dead of
heart disease in the pilot-house of the
steamer as the vessel was . passing
through the draw of the Steel bridge,
starting on her regular trip from Port
land to Astoria, at 7:30 o'clock yesterday
morning. Pilot McCully was in the pilot
house at the time, and as the stricken
master sank to the deck the pilot as-

DROPS DEAD IN THE
PILOT-HOUSE.
I '
8umed the wheel. Pilot McCully landed
the steamer at Ainsworth, dock and Im
mediately telephoned for a doctor, but
Captain Larkins was dead when the phy
sician arrived.
Captain Larkins has been in ill-health
for a number of years and at times suf
fered severely from attacks of heart
trouble. Of late, however, he had not
been subject to severe attacks. About
a year ago he was in bad shape and was
transferred to the steamer Undine, op
erating between Portland and Vancouver,
In order to give him a rest from the
strain of the Astoria run. After several
weeks on the short run, Captain Larkins
requested to be returned to his former
position, as the lack of work was too
hard on him, and he wanted the excite
ment of the lower river run. His re
quest was complied with, and he returned
to the Lurline, where he died, as all
true sailors wish to die, at the post of
duty.
Captain William E. Larkins was among
the most widely known steamboat men
on the Pacific Coast. He was born in
Benton County, Or., in 1857. When 17
years of age he shipped as a deckhand
on the old steamer Alice, operating be
tween Oregon City and Corvallls. Since
that time he has been continuously en
gaged on the- Columbia and Willamette
Rivers. When the old steamer Willam
ette Chief was engaged In the transfer
business -between Portland and the East
Side of the river. Captain Larkins was
first mate, and later master of the ves
sel. When the Union Pacific absorbed
the O. R. & N. Co., Captain Larkins
went on the old Telephone with Captain
Thomas Crang, as pilot. He remained
with Captain Scott until the Telephone
was consigned to the boneyard. and since
that time has 'been in the employ of
Jacob Kamm.
A -widow, three sisters and a brother
survive. Mrs. Larkins Is now at Nome,
where she went last season to attend
to some mining properties. The brother
and sisters reside in and near Portland.
The body was removed from the steamer
to Finley's undertaking establishment.
The funeral will be held at the Meth
odist Church, In- Oregon - City, Wednes
day, at 2 P. M.

26, 1907, was suspended for a period of six
months by Local Inspectors Edwards and
Fuller yesterday afternoon. Captain
Spinner was directed to return his license
to the board.
The action of the inspectors ras based
on the testimony of the officers of the
Europe and the statement of Captain
Spinner. . The latter declared that the
light on the Europe was burning and in
place, but that he did not see it until
too late.
The Annie Comings was carrying: ma
chinery for the paper mill at Camas,
Wash. The Europe was at anchor in tue
stream. The Comings struck the bows
of the bark broadside on and was broken
in two. The crew of the steamer escaped
by crawling- up the forechalns of the
sailing vessel. Owners of the Annie
Comings later libeled the Europe for
$40,000.

WHY NOT TREAT
with reputable specialists of known
worth and skill, rather than waste
your time with would-be specialists of .
no skill or ability.
Is It not better to treat with a med
ical institute composed of men scien
tifically trained to cure and who are
men of standing and ability than to
treat with self-styled, so-called spe
cialists of limited experience, whose
vaunted cures are no cures at all?
Do not be fooled into paying a big
fee for surgical procedure that does
not cure. We are the leading special
ists in Portland and our cures are
thorough and permanent. Talk with
us about your ailment and a personal
interview will convince you that we
know our business.

Readers of
This Paper
t
A few months ago a man came to my offices
and told a story of his experiences which is
so typical of what the average patient goes
through before coming to me that I wish
every man could read It. -
My Fee for
a Cure Is
$1013,
ie
In the first place, this man was
and healthy appearance, and began by telling me he was never sick in
bed for a single day as far back as he could remember. His symptoms
were lack of ambition, vim, energy and power to concentrate his mind.
He felt' conscious of a state of physical imperfection, which embar
rassed him and made him feel unfit to enjoy society, and, as he ex
pressed it, he was "played out all over."
Questioning him as to what he thought caused his trouble, he ad
mitted excesses in early life, and confessed to a slight disorder con
tracted some five years past. By advice of well-meaning friends he
tried prescriptions, which helped to a certain point, but failed to go
beyond that. His next step was to consult a doctor, and he sought out
one with a large general practice and good reputation. The doctor
cheered him with the assurance that he would undertake the treatment
of his case, asked him a few questions and prescribed medicine, both
for local and internal use. For the first few weeks he improved so
much that he discontinued his visits to the doctor to stop the drain on
his purse. A little later he had a relapse which was very discouraging,
especially as he felt the weakness coming on, which caused pains in the
hack, sleeplessness and general lassitude. He sought help from a
specialist for disorders like his own, but soon realized that he was In
incompetent hands. The specialist, who had been in business but a
short time, closed his offices and'went away. Following this the suf
ferer was attracted by the claims of a doctor who told him that he
must get next to Nature, and that Nature was sewed up Just inside of
his electric belt, it cost him about U00 to find out that electricity
would, not help a bit.
In a very skeptical and hopeless frame of mind this man came to
me. I examined him in a manner that he admitted he was never ex
amined before. I found the exact cause of the whole trouble, ex
plained it fully to him, together with my plan of treatment, and guar
anteed him a perfect and permanent cure, and offered to let him PAT
WHEN CURED. Last week he said he felt as good, sound and
healthy, as strong in vigor, as he ever had in his life.
I proved to this man that the whole secret of my success in curing
WEAKNESS, VAP.ICOCELE, HYDROCELE, LOSSES. CONTRACTED
DISEASES, CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON was' knowing definitely
what treatment, was indicated and how to give it. There is no mystery
about my methods or my medicines. My knowledge of Men's Ailments
is superior because I have devoted all my time for the past twenty
years to this one branch of the human machinery.
I CURE ALL DISEASES OF MEN
My experience along this one path qualifies me to say positively that
such troubles as Spermatorrhoea, Lost Vigor, Varicocele, Hydrocele,
Contracted Disorders, Contagions Blood Poison. Stricture and "Weak
ness" can be cured perfectly so as to stay cured. Of course I use dif
ferent methods than the ordinary physician. Most of these are original
with me and were devised for just such cases as the ordinary courses
of treatment fail to reach.
I HAVE THE HELP YOU NEED
I find the cause of the trouble first, and direct treatment to that
always. My airR is never to hide the symptoms, but to cure the aliment-completely
and thoroughly. My success is based on these meth
ods which must sooner or later be applied to your case.
