THE MORXIXG OKEGOXIAN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18, 1909. 14 PLAN FOR BRIDGE ACCEPTED BYPORT Franchise for New Railroad Viaduct Unanimously Given 0. R. & N. . REVENUE FROM DECK FIXED Road to Got 5 Per Cent Per Annum on Cost of Construction and Ufe of Span Is Fixed at C0 Years Fine Structure. The Port of Portland Commission yes terday afternoon passed by unanimous vote the franchise granting to the O. R. & X. Company the right to construct a steel bridge, and fixed the compensation to be derived by the railway corporation for the upper deck at not more than 5 per cent per annum on the cost of con struction nf the deck, and the life of the span at 20" years. As soon as the War Department passes on the plans. Chief Engineer Boschke will begin actual oper ations. The new bridge will cross the 'Wil lamette River, the east end resting on or near Oregon and Adams, converging streets, and at Third and Glisan streets on the west. It will cost between $1,500, 000 and 12. 000.000. and will accommodate streetcar, team and pedestrian traffic on an upper deck, which is expected to be one of the beet ever built. The bridge will be of the lift-draw type, such as the new Madison-street span, now in course of construction, and will be designed to stand the terrific strains that will be put upon It for the next 20 years and possibly ioner. The lift will be built to rise to a height of 161 feet above xero of the Government gauge, and will enable all vessels with the exception of the largest slxed sailing ships, to pass through without being lifted. In order to rush the bridge to comple tion, the Port of Portland Commission met In special session yesterday after noon. President Swigert In the chair J. Couch Flanders, counsel for the Com mission, and Arthur G. Spencer, for the Harrlman Interests, handled the legal points, and Chief Engineer Boschke was present to represent the engineering end for the O. R. & N. Lawyer Spencer and Chief Engineer Buschke at first held out for a con cession on the part of the commission, declaring that the railroad company should be allowed to assess tolls to the extent of per cent per annunV on the amount of the cost of the upper deck, but later decided to accept a compromise. Commissioner Ainsworth and others con tending that 4 per cent would be suffi cient revenue on a 20-year basis. It was therefore a compromise all around, with every one satisfied. In regard to the ofticlal life of the bridge, the company made its point. Tins commissioners had decided that perhaps 40 years would not be too Ions, but the railway representatives declared that it would not do to fix Its life at such a long term of years, and the commission ers finally mai'e it 20 years. The company has the privilege of rent- inR the upper deck to the city or county at the rate of revenue stated. Chief Engineer Boschke declared to the commissioners that he will build a bridge that will be a credit to the city, as well as to his company. He thanked the commission for its promptness in handling its part of the project, and as sured the members that actual construc tion will be commenced Just as soon as the War Department passes on the plans. FOUR ATHLETES ADDED V. 31. C. A. Is to Increase Staff of Gymnasium Instructors. When the Portland T. M. C. A. opens its quarters In the new building at Sixth and Taylor streets September 16, four new Instructors will be engaged for the physical department. P. W. Lee. until recently director of the Playground of Se attle, will be one of the assistants of Mf. Grilley, head of the physical department. Mr. Lee has been highly recommended on account of his work in gymnastics and apparatus, and as an amateur wrestler. A. R. Boshoskey. formerly of the Chica go T. M- C. A., said to be one of the best amateur wrestlers In the country, will have charge, of the wrestling. Fencing will be taught by Charles Lampert who was with the association last year and did effective work. Will H. Beach is another new instructor and Leonard My ers will have charge of the swimming classes. It is the intention to have every member of the association learn to swim during the coming year. Members who already know how to swim will be given Instructions so as to enable them to help berinners. Work on. the gymnasiums and other rooms of the physical department in the new building is being hurried to comple tion. When they are ready for occupancy the local department will have quarters and equipment equal to any In the United States. There will be two gymnasiums, a handball court, boxing room, wrestling room, swimming tank, locker rooms, shower, tub and steam baths. The cork track in the main gymnasium is to be one of the best ever installed In a gym nasium. PHILIPPINE BONDS- SOLD Million and Half In Securities Dls I poed Of by XTnele Sam. WASHINGTON. Aug. 17.

VILLA AVENUE TO BE WIDE Street of 0 Feet Practically As sured Through Laurelhurst. Assurances are given that Villa avenue ' will be m ft X set wide from tha cast line of Laurelhurst to the city limits In Montavllla; also that this street will be made SO feet wide through Laurelhurst. Plans for widening Villa avenue are in two parts the first running from Laurel hurst to West avenue and the other from West avenue to the city limits. Through the Laurelhurst Addition the street has been made 80 feet wide by the new own ers. Success of the proceedings to make the street 80 feet wide beyond Laurel hurst depended on the width of the street through the addition. This being assured, there Is thought to be little doubt about the further widening. The two sets of viewers are about ready to submit their final reports, ac cording to H. B. Dickinson, who is look ing after the matter for the Montavllla Board of Trade, and he says it means an 80-foot street. On the filing of these reports the farm ers east of Montavilla will proceed at once with the opening -of the street to Fairview a distance of about five miles from the city boundary line. They have been ready to go ahead for the past two years whenever they had assurances that the street would be opened through the Ladd farm.. Petitions will be circulated asking the County Court to . open the road, as that district Is outside the city. There Is some difference of opinion among the farmers as to whether to make the road 80 or 80 feet wide, but that matter will probably be adjusted. One farmer has built concrete posts In front of his property, and if the road is made 80 feet wide it would mean that his Improvement would be destroyed. This movement for a wide street has dragged along for two years, but now is about to reach a successful end. TWO BILLS ARE VETOED MAYOR SIMON EXERCISES FIRST RIGHT TO OPPOSE. Claim for Interest and Policeman's Request for Atiorney's Fees Turned Down. Mayor Simon yeBterday vetoed two ordinances, each of which carries an appropriation for payment to an indi vidual out of the public funds. These are the first measures to meet the seri ous objection of the executive since he assumed the duties of Mayor. One of the ordinances Is in favor of W. H. Morehouse for $798, an the other is In favor of W. H. Hyde, a patrolman in the police department, for $100 attor ney's fees. The Mayor is opposed to both on the ground that the city ia not legally or morally bound to pay them. The veto messages will create some thing of a stir in the City Council, as they are quite different from those handed down by ex-Mayor Lane. Mayor Simon furnishes his own legal authori ties, and his message plainly bear the stamp of a legal mind, typical of a lawyer who once served on the judi ciary committee of the United States Senate. . . In regard to the payment of funds to W. H. Morehouse as Interest on prop erty purchased by the city for a park, Mayor Simon says in part in his veto message: ' A very Instructive case.

Curtis, Famous Journalist, Says Measure Is Best Country Has Had Since Civil War, and Shows Great Elasticity. BY ARTHUR A. GREENE. w VOICE! crying in "the wilderness; a solitary voice of glad acclaim is m this, raised in a wilderness of moans and groans and anathemas. The voice, the lonely voice and the one glad hand have been heard and seen at last. The voice is that of William E. Curtis and the hand Is the hand of a great writing man. One man in the land, aside from the Congressional conferees, thinks the new tariff bill is a good thing and altogether lovely. At the Portland Hotel yesterday, where ho aboded for the .time being. Mr. Curtis, one of the world's foremost Jour nalists and one of the few men to whom the term may be applied properly, said to this particular recorder of things as they now are: "The recently enacted tariff bill is the best the country has had since the Civil War. In fact it Is the most scientifically constructed measure of its kind we have ever had. Whenever a proposal to alter the tariff is made and Congress attempts to adjust an equitable schedule, every in terest affected Inaugurates a fight for its own. It not only seeks Its own advantage but It antagonizes every other and strives to create a commotion which will deceive the public. The public is usually only too ready to think the worst and as a conse quence we have not only two score war ring states but 'a hundred paltry villages,' each with its particular purpose to serve, who raise the hue and cry. It is no more wrong for a Congressman who rep resents a lumber constituency to work for the lumber interests than for one who represents a wool-growing community to ficht for his own. It Is no harm for a Congressman to voice the needs of his district and to vote for its needs. These contending elements create a false im pression in the minds of the public at large, said public sometimes being pre disposed to the opinion that It is being wrongfully dealt with. "After the smoke has blown away and the sound of battle is no more, you will find that this will be the most beneficent tariff law we have had In 50 years. It is admirably adjusted to the industrial and financial interests of the country and it has an elasticity that permits of its be ing applied to all needs. "This is a protective Nation, as is every country of Europe save England, and every one of those nations has a higher protective tariff than we have. Our new tariff is probably the lowest of any Gov ernment that subscribes to the policy of protection. "No man. woman or child in this coun try will know that the tariff exists ex cept those who buy automobiles, dia monds, champagne or the most expensive luxuries, only as they read of Its in iquities in the newspapers. "There is no place in the world where the actual necessitiesof life are so cheap as In the Vnlted States, except farm products. The only things that .people buy nowadays that cost more than they did 10 years ago are the products the farmers raise. Railroad fares, streetcar fares, soda water and face powder have not changed in price, but clothing and a LITTLE BDY DROWNS Ralph Kasper Sinks in Lake in Hawthorne Park. CHILD COMPANION HERO John Ballevr, 11 Years Old, Dives Again and Again for Body of His 9-Year-Old Friend, Finally Bringing It to Surface. While attempting a jump from a pon totm into a rowboat In Hawthorne Park Lake, 9-year-old Ralph Kasper, of 229 East Thirteenth street, miscalculated the distance and fell Into the water yester day afternoon shortly before 5 o'clock. Although able to swim, he was apparent ly seized with cramps or overpowered by right and drowned before assistance PICTURE OF BOY WHO WAS DROWNED AND COM PANION WHO DOVE TO FIND BODY. "..- ' X - v rm mmM fill . mimsmmmf t Ralph Kasper. could reach him. Eleven-year-old John Ballew, of 504 Hawthorne avenue, a play mate of the drowned lad, made heroic efforts to save him by diving repeatedly Into the water, but was unable to locate the body. A crowd of people was In the park at the time, which quickly gathered on the bank and cheered the attempts of young Bailey at rescuing his playmate. He was later Joined In his task by Patrolman Black, and through their united efforts the body was recovered over an hour later. Persons in the crowd took up a collection amounting to several dollars, which was presented Ballew as a token of appreciation for his exhibition of heroism. Kasper was a son of G. A. Kasper, a contractor, and a rephew of Police Ser geant Goltz, now out of the city on his annual vacation. Physicians were called and every ef fort made to bring the boy back to life, but these were futile. The body was taken to the morgue of Dunning.

Very soon we will have to pass legislation to restrict the profits of the farmer, and the poor railroad man will have a rest Right now you can travel farther and fare better In this country for less money than anywhere else in the world, and yet there Is a continual hue and cry against the railroads. In every respect the trav eling public and the shipper are better off by reason of the voluntary improve ments made by the railroads than 10 years ago. There Is too much noise in some directions, and the shouting against the new tariff bill will die away as will much other shouting against imagined wrongs, as soon as It gets into full run ning order. Again I repeat that the law is the best and most adjustable we have had since the Civil War." William E. Curtis, the Chicago Record Herald's famous correspondent, has not ,.ioHri Portland for four years. He was . j , . v. T anHa -P. i'larlr TTuIr ! nero UUrillK tun wtnio . " when he spent a week "in our midst." He Is making a tour of the West in his private car and contributing to the con temporaneous history of the world to the extent of a column or more a day. Through long years of experience in the newspaper field and because of his un questioned reputation for truth and verac ity he has come to be looked upon as an authority on almost every subject he may choose to write upon. He is the only American newspaper writer, if not. in fact, the only one of any country, who j ever secured an Interview with the late Pope Leo and the Czar of Russia. He has circled the globe many times and is known to the uttermost parts of the world. He is one of the mighty ones of Journalism and is a familiar with roy alty and fame and fortune as well as the lowly and down-trodden In all climes. A little more of the frost of the years has gathered upon his brow since he was last here. He Is no longer young and Is perhaps grown conservative with the years. That may have in part some accounting for his unique views on the Aldrich tariff. But his enthusiasm for matters that appertain to what he be lieves the best is In no whit lessened and he is at the very zenith of his use fulness as a husbandman in the ephem eral field of letters represented by the daily prints. It Is characteristic of him that he tells the truth though it shame the devil and mayhap that is why he Is the solitary voice crying in the wilder ness of opposition to the new tariff bill. If he has girded his loins with what he believes to be truth, he would choose to be a solitary voice crying in the wilder ness rather than a part of the claque or a shouter in a Roman mob.

A Coroner's jury yesterday found the employes of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, on the Mount Scott line, responsible for the death of Will iam Klrkpatrlck. who was struck by a Hawthorne-avenue car on that line at East Thirty-seventh street and Haw thorne avenue, the morning of August 6, and who died August 14., The employes mentioned are the conductor and motor man on the car which carried Kirkpat rick as a passenger. . This was a Mount Scott car. and as Klrkpatrlck -stepped oft he was struck by a Hawthorne-avenue car. The car company employes are blamed because the safety gate on the rear plat form, which, according to city ordinance, should be closed on the side of the car nearer the parallel track, was open, and Klrkpatrlck alighted on that side in front of the car bound In the opposite di rection. ' Kirk patrick was a brother of Joseph Klrkpatrlck, a Mount Scott resident, and lived at San Jose. Cal. He was visiting his brother, and both were on their way John Ballew. to Sunnyside, getting off the Mount Scott car at the Sunnyside intersection when the accident occurred. EVERYDAYBARGAINS.

It is one of the dead liest poisons that can exist in the human system. And it cannot exist long in the human system, without very serious consequences resulting-. These conse quences often terminate in death if neglected. The kidneys and bladder are depended upon to expel uric acid from the human system. That is their business. When the kidneys and bladder are sound and healthy, and in good work ing order, they (with the assistance of the liver) will effectually operate to keep the system free from this uric acid poison. But if the kidneys, blad der and liver are sick, over-worked, exhausted, and diseased, they cannot ex pel the urio acid. Then the system be comes charged and over-loaded with this deadly poison and the immediate results are: foul and impure blood, ex treme nervousness, and sometimes total mental break-down, lame and aching back and groins, rheumatism, gout, lumbago, deposits of stone and gravel in the bladder, and, later if neglec ted painful and incurable or fatal discs scs. De Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills are a genuinely good and the depend able remedy for all weak, debilitated, and diseased conditions of the kidney, bladder and liver. They act directly and at once upon these organs, , and by their especially cleansing, healing, an tiseptic and curative action, speedily put them into sound, active and healthy condition again. Thousands of persons have taken these Pills for diseases of the kidneys and bladder and in no COOS BAY- THEIR GOAL DELEGATES TO OREGON-IDAHO CONGRESS LEAVE TONIGHT. Breakwater Is Chartered by Devel ' opment League Members Har bor Excursions Planned. The steamship Breakwater, of the Portland oc Coos Bay Steamship Com pany, Captain Macgenn, will leave Ains worth dock for Marshfield at 8 o'clock tonight, carrying the delegates to the Oregon-Idaho Development League Con gress, which will assemble at the Coos County metropolis the latter part of this week. Every berth of the steamer has been engaged for the excursion, and ar rangements have been made for the re turn trip on the same vessel. The Breakwater's regular schedule has been altered to permit the delegates from Portland to remain in C003 County for the entire session, which will end Sat urday night, and to return to this city Monday at noon. The Breakwater. In stead of sailing Saturday, will leave Marshfield Sunday morning. The development congress will be in ex ecutive session August 20 and 21, and dur ing that period excursion trips will be made to various points on Coos Bay and the Coq-uille river. Saturday afternoon the Breakwater will be put at the dis posal of the congress for a trip about Coos Bay, when North Bend, Empire City, Glasgow and other harbor points will be visited. Dr. J. R. Wetherbee will represent the Portland Commercial Club and W. B. Glafke will act In a similar capacity for the Chamber of Commerce. STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO QUIT Steamer to Leave on Last Trip. Kansas City Replaces Her. When the steamship State of Cali fornia, of the San Francisco & Port land Steamship Company, sails from the Ainsworth dock for San Francisco this morning, it will be her last voyage out of this port. She is to be replaced by the new steamship Kansas City, which will leave San Francisco on the State of Cali fornia's schedule next week. When the State of California leaves this morning she will carry a full list of passengers and a large cargo. The travel between Portland and the Bay City this Summer has been enormous, and every steamer bound south leaves with every berth taken. Taeoma Marine News. . TACOilA, Wash., Aug. 17.

The British bark G. W. Wolff sailed from San Diego yesterday for Portland, and the British ship Buteshire left Panama August 2 for the Columbia River. Both vessels are coming for grain, though as yet neither has been chartered. How ever, the grain crop is scheduled to be one of the heaviest in many years and the vessels are sure of being listed. Gas Company Sues Steamer. The Portland Gas Company has brought suit in Circuit Court against the steamer Claremont and the Hardwood Lumber Company to recover $1000 for damages done by the steamer to its pipeline. The gas company was laying a main across the river south of the Steel bridge, and last Saturday had one end resting upon a barge to keep it out of the water. The 'claremont struck the barge about 8 P. M., breaking the pipe and permitting the open end to sink and fill with water. Amaranth Makes Quick Passage. The American barkentine Amaranth, which loaded lumber here in June, ar rived at Sydney, Australia, yesterday, thereby completing one of the fastest passages this season. The Amaranth made the trip in 63 days, which is not a record, though it is looked upon in marine circles as excellent time for a sailing vessel. Marine Notes.
