VIEWS SCENES OF
EARLY TRIUMPHS
Colonel Dudley Evans Here on
Inspection Tour of Pa
cific Coast.
OUTLINE OF HIS CAREER
' ExecntlTe Head of AVells-Karpo & Co.
Express Began His Climb Vp
Ladder of Fame in
.This City.
PT ARTHUR A. GREENE.
The laudable endeavor of being an ex
press magnate evidently agrees with
Colonel Dudley Evans, for at 71 and in(
the midst of the multifarious activities
which come to him by reason of being
president of the greatest express com
pany in America, he is apparently at the
renith of his mental and physical powers.
Each time the president of "Wells
Fargo comes to .Portland, it is some
thing in the nature of a homecoming, for
It was here that he really began his bril
liant business career. He sat on the ver
anda of the Portland Hotel yesterday aft
ernoon and talked entertainingly of things
past, present and things to come. It
was natural that he should express his
fat iff action at being in his old home
town and gratification at the remarkable
progress Portland Is making.
Came West in 1886.
Colonel Evans became identified with
the Wells-Fargo Company in 1SH6 as
local agent at Victoria. B. C. In 186
tie established an office for the com
pany at Seattle when it was merely a
ragged hamlet along the Sound shore.
It was the third office of the company
In the then territory of Washington, the
others being at Olympla and Port Town
.end. After a service of four years there
ke came to Portland and took charge
of the local office. Later he became
supervisor and superintendent for the
Northwest, and eventually superintend
ent of the Pacific Coa.st division at San
Francisco. After that his rise was rapid
and he became president of ihe company
In 1902.
The original Portland office was at the
corner of First and Stark streets in a
little stone building which is still stand
ing. As the business grew quarters far
ther up town ' were needed, and the
office was moved to the old frame build
ing at the corner of Fourth and Yamhill
etreets. where It remained until the new
12-story office building of the company
was completed some two years ago.
Social and Business Leader.
For many years Colonel Evans was a
leader in the social and business life
erf the town, and there was. perhaps, a
grain of sentiment in the decision of the
company to erect the first big skyscraper
In the city. Colonel Evans wanted to
do something fine for his old home, and
lie set the pace In building which has
been followed by a half-dozen Immense
office structures.
The distinguished captain of the ex
press industry is still the active working
head of the great organization, and shows
no inclination to retire in spite of the
fact that he has passe" the three-score
and ten mark. "When he told me he
had served as Lieutenant-Colonel of the
Twentieth Virginia Cavalry In the Con
federate Army, it was a distinct surprise,
for his appearance indicates that he might
have been old enough for a very younjj
private but by no means of sufficient
years to have been one of Lee's field
officers.
Family Is With Him.
The present tour la being made in
the Colonel's private car. and the party
consists of Mrs. Evans, the private sec
retary and servants. The westerly trip
was made over the Canadian Pacific,
and from here the Teturn to New York
Vill be made over the O. R. & N.
Testerdav Colonel Evans was in con
ference with Eugene Shelby, of San
Francisco. Pacific Coast superintendent.
and local officials or the company.
If any decision was made regarding
the raising of the Portland agency to a
6upe.rintendency with Jurisdiction over
the entire Northwest, no announcement
was made.
The party will remain until the first
of the week.
NEW TRAINJS WINNER
Oregon-Washington Limited Attracts
Much Sew Business.
Passenger officials of the Harriman
system report that an enormous amount
of business is being offered fheir new
fast train. the Oregon - Washington
Limited, between this city and Chicago.
The equipment was improved last night
out of this city by the addition of an
observation car. This convenience would
have been Included in the organization
of the train on its initial trip last Sun
day but for the fact that the equipment
was not to be had.
This train does not make the run be
tween Portland and Chicago in 68 hours
as announced when this service was de
cided upon. The mistake in calculating
the Bctual flme required for the limited
to make the trip was a natural one. The
announcement from Chicago said that
the train would leave that city at 11:30
A. M. and arrive in Portland at 8:30
A. M. on the third day following. On
the face of fue statement this represents
a difference in time of exactly 69 hours,
but when there is added the two hours
through change of time which is gained
by a West-bound train between Chicago
and Portland, the time actually consumed
In the Journey is 71 hours. But even
at thaf. the new train is a big Improve
ment over the former service, while its
equipment surpasses anything before sup
plied the West. .
CRAIG RESIGNS SEPTEMBER t
Great Northern Passenger Official
to Retire From Service.
While it has not been officially an
nounced, it is generally understood that
A. L- Craig will retire as general passen
ger agent for the Great Northern on Sep
tember 1. It is not known who will suc
ceed ilr. Craig, neither are the plans of
this well-known railroad official for the
future known. Three years ago Jlr. Craig
resigned as general passenger agent of
the O. P.. & N. In Portland to accept the
position of passenger traffic manager
'with the Hill road with headquarters at
Bt. Paul.
Not long afterwards, when Ben Camp
bell retired as general passenger agent
for the same road. JJr. Craig was trans
ferred to that subordinate station, which
i ; Is said to have also carried with it a
reduction In salary- This action produced
friction between1 Mr. Craig and his su
periors and has culminated In his with
drawal from the Hill service.

TRAINS
Bibles Are Being Placed in Librarj
Compartment Cars.
Included in the newspaper clippings
which reached the local Harriman offices
yesterday was one from an Eastern
paper announcing that the Chicago, Bur
lington & Quincy had adopted the .prac
tice ,of including bibles in the library
compartments of its limited trains. The
item Included the further statement that
so far as known the Burlington and the
Pennsylvania were the only roads fol
lowing this custom.
"In this the Eastern paper is mis
taken." said John M. Scotf, assistant
general passenger agent for the O. R.
& N. and Southern Pacific. "For the
last seven years the libraries on air
limited trains on the Harriman system
have been supplied with copies of the
bible."
LOCAL EAGLES STIRRED
INTERNAL DISSENSION.
BY
'The Live Bunch" Plans Sporting
Carnival and Oldtime Barbecue
"Agin the Rules."
There threatens to be considerable dis
sension and numerous evictions from the
local nest of the Fraternal Order or
Eagles. Rumors are rife that an Inter
nal war is brewing following the an
nouncement made this week that a sport
ing carnival and old-time barbecue will
be given under the auspices of the order
at Crystal Lake Park next Sunday. The
wrath of the big "birds"' is said to have
been aroused for numerous reasons. Sev
eral members of Portland Aerie No. 4."
who herald themselves as "The Live
Bunch." are said to have planned the
event, contrary to laws of the order and
for their own mercenary ends. Now,
A. E. Black. Worthy President of Port
land Aerie No. A. F. O. E.. with a' repre
seatation of his indignant subalterns, are
soaring cautiously about the local nest
and have- their "eagle eyes" out for the
guilty eaglets. It is hinted that several
of the "Live Ones" will be plucked of
their feathers when the proper evidence
has been gathered.
When seen last night by The Oregonlan
Mr. Black, eagle-premier of the local
fllock, admitted that trouble was brew
ing and was emphatic in his denial that
any outihg was planned by Aerie No. 4
of Portland. The main cause for the
imbroglio which is imminent. Is said
to have been the fact that "The Live
Bunch" used the caption of the Frater
nal Eagles upon advertising matter
which was misleading. Several of the
erring eaglets will be roasted to add va
riety to the proposed barbecue Sunday,
according to innocent bystanders.
Good Things in
Portland Markets
THE supply of California grapes is
larger than" ever this week and
the fruit continues to divide the hon
ors with peaches in the market. The
crop of seedless green grapes is un
usually large, the offerings being al
most prodigal. They are retailing- at
10 cents a pound; Black Prince grapes
were the same price. Choice Tokay
60 cents and Malaga 50 cents a basket.
"Sweet" grapes (including several col
ors) were 25 cents a basket.
Oregon peaches are not expected to
flood the market this year. This cool,
dry season has prevented fruit of all
kinds from attaining its usual size.
Despite this fact, however, some su
perb peaches were on sale at 50 cents
a box. Less choice stock was offered
at 15, 20 and 25 cents a dozen.
Plums and prunes made a good ex
hibit this-week. Local-grown Damson
plums, which looked well, were offered
at 40 cents a basket; greengages at
half that price. Nectarines at 16 cents
a dozen are recent arrivals. Local
Columbia plums and Bradshaw prunes
were each 20 cents a basket.
A consignment of cantaloupes from
Payette. Idaho, were pointed out as
worthy of special mention, and con
sidered almost the best produced. They
looked sufficiently Inviting to warrant
the 25 cents each asked for them. Less
pretentious stock was selling at 10
cents' each. Watermelons of which
considerable quantities are coming for
ward are 2 cents a pound.
Notwithstanding the regrets ex
pressed that this Is an "off" year for
Oregon apples, many beautiful boxes
are to be seen. Choice Gravensteins
are J1.75 a box or 25 cents a dozen
the Duchess variety was offered at
$1.25 a box. Bartlett pears, which the
season seems to have suited, for the
crop has been very abundant, were re
tailed at 20 cents a dozen.
A fresh supply of bananas arrived
during the week and very attractive
fruit was retailing at 25 to 30 cents a
dozen.
Pineapples still keep at the unwont
edly low price of 25 cents: and a new
stock of cocoanuts were offered at 10
cents each. Oranges were 30, 40 and 60
cents, and lemons (reported scarce) 30
cents a dozen. A fresh consignment of
grapefruit was offered at two and three
for 25 cents. Huckleberries and black
berries were the only "small fruits" to
be seen, the first at 20 cents a pound
and the second 10 cents a box.
Among vegetables, the only bonaflde
newcomer was a consignment of Shal
lot onions, raised by a French grower
at Mount Tabor; they were offered at
25 cents a pound. Green peas are down
to four pounds for 25 cents; goose and
wax beans 8 and 6 cents a" pound re
spectively. Green corn 15. 20 and 25
cents, sweet potatoes, three pounds for
25 cents and new potatoes 2 cents a
pound.
Cucumbers. large, three for 10 cents;
the small pickling variety $1.50 a sack.
Artichokes, three for 25 cents; egg

cents each, and Summer squash 5 cents
a pound. Gumbo or okra 20 cents and

HE CAN GUT COST
Morris Says Million Will Build
Broadway Bridge, as Mod
jeski Planned.'
GIVES OUT HIS FIGURES
Lift Draw Would Be Constructed and
ExpenMive Approach on Hoyt
Street Would Be Entire
ly Eliminated.
City Engineer Morris announced yes
terday afternoon that he is more than
ever convinced that he can build the pro
posed high bridge across the Willamette
River at Broadway and Hoyt streets for
approximately Jl.OOO.iJOO, and cites as his
authority one of the most celebrated engi
neers in the world Ralph Modjeski. The
lattor's original estimate of the cost of
the span was only J1.3SO.000, and Mr.
Morris says that he knows where he can
cut off a large slice from this. He is
willing to proceed at once and demon
strate his contention.
"I fail to see why there were bonds
to the amount of $2,000,000 voted," said
Mr. Morris. "Ralph Modjeski's original
estimate calls for nothing alike that
amount, and, the" construction of just
such a bridge as the people ordered last
June, will involve approximately 1,(KM),
000, and the bridge will be Just as high
as the act calls for."
Mr. Modjeski estimated the cost of this
anw another type of bridge and also a
tube under the river, and was paid for
his services $5000 by the City Council.
His estimate for the proposed high bridge
at Broadway is as follows: Superstruc
ture, $33.774.2R; substructure, f4!.518:
Portland grade approach, J27.S45; East
Portland grade approach, $20,210: engi
neering and contingent fees, J116.S32.75.
Mr. Morris declares that he can cut off
much of this cost by eliminating all cost
for an approach on the Hoyt-street end
where Mr. Modjeski planned to shift tne
bridge across a lot: instead, Mr. Morris
says, he would build the bridge so that
the west end would rest on Seventh
street, in a straight line, and save the
JJO.OOO estimated by Mr. Modjeski for
damages to the lot concerned. In certain
other matters of construction, Mr. Morris
declares, he can make a saving, and, In
his opinion, make a better bridge. He
says b.e can save several thousand dol
lars by substituting a lift for a bascule
draw, and improve the structure thereby,
and he would change the plans on some
of the long spans and again save money,
and strengthen the structure.
Mayor Simrm is Impressed with the
statement of Mr. Morris, and is giving his
figures due consideration. The Mayor
said yesterday afternoon that he is going
tb make sure that he is right before go
ing ahead with the bridge. He said he
wants to build it. but at an outlay of
only half the bondlssue, it possible.
CLARNO AGREES WITH MORRIS
v
President of Push Club Thinks Mil
lion Sufficient.
Francis Clarno, president of the Steel
Bridge Push Club, favors a high bridge,
but does not want it more than 60 feet
above the water. "At this height," said
Mr. Clarno last night, the ordinary
steamboats, w-hich do not as a rule
have smokestacks reaching more than
55 feet above the water, could pass
through without the draw being moved.
"I do not think that a bridge 60- feet
high should cost more than $1,000,000.
The Idea of a $2,000,000 expenditure, I
thtnk, is all foolishness and can bexiur
tailed with Judicious management. I am
of the same opinion as Engineer Mor
ris, as far as the expense is concerned.
"I think the Mayor is very consid
erate in his decision to investigate the
matter more thoroughly before con
senting to the construction of an ex
tremely high bridge at a $2,000,000 ex
penditure. "I think the bridge should b.e con
structed with all possible speed, for the
reason that with the rapidly increasing
population on the East Side there will
be soon more traffic than the present
bridges can accommodate.. And we
must consider, too, that the bridges are
now being worked to about their limit.
and will not stand the strain more than
two or three years. I favor a high
bridge, but do not let it be too high."
A. B. Wastell, 454 East Twenty-first
street, favors a high bridge and a large
expenditure if by such an outlay a gain
can be made in time and an advantage
in shipping. "I believe most thoroughly
that a high bridge will be the best
means of relievingl the congestion of
traffic." said Mr., Wastell.
Councilman Vaughn wants a bridge
high enough to accommodate all steam
ers, and thinks the plan decided on by
the vote of the people at the last elec
tion should be followed. He expressed
the opinion that Oregon street would
afford a better approach than Broad
way. Dr. L. M. Davis would like to have
the bridge start from Hancock street.
NOT THIS "MR. RAFFLES"
Edward F. Gerard Not the Man Ar
rested i-n San Francisco.
M. B. Davis, business manager of
"Mysterious Mr. Raffles," arrived in
Portland .yesterday and immediately set
about contradicting an erroneous im
pression created by press dispatches in
regard to the arrest 'of George H. Dono
hue. also a Raffles player, in San Fran
cisco. "The statement that George H. Dono
hue played the part of 'Mysterious Mr.
Raffles' In Portland is a mistake," said
Mr. Davis yesterday. "He did not play
the part in Portland at any time. The
name of the man who played 'Raffles'
here was Edward F. Gerard under my
management. He has just completed an
engagement in Spokane, and is now in
Tacoma. He is arranging for a trip to
Australia where he will sail September
18. He has not been in San Francisco
for six months and has no connection
with the man arrested there. Mr. Gerard
has never been arrested in his life and
has good letters of recommendation from
every town in which he has worked."
WILL MARRY IN LIONS' DEN
Spectacle to Be Presented at the
Oaks Tomorrow Afternoon.
Rev. Mr. Dalrymple, chaplain of the
Seaman's Institute, in speaking of. the
marriage ceremony that is to be per
formed In a den of lions at the Oaks next
Sunday, said there was biblical authority
for the belief that lions are not at all
times dangerous to human life. He cited
the case of Daniel, and without making
a parallel of the present mstance, cau-
tlously remarked: "I hope the'young
couple will meet with no disaster at the
Oaks."
There seems to be quite a widespread
belief that the act of the two young
lovers in trusting their lives to the ca-
! price of African lions is foolhardy In the
i extreme, but they do not regard the pro
, posed experience in that light at all. The
" young woman said yesterday that she
! had absolutely no fear of the lions, and
; seemedto place every confidence in Mme.
Schell s abilrty to keep the big animals
ir subjugation.
The groom-to-be said .from his youth
jhe had always been seeking experiences
having, an element of danger connected
I with them, and even in early youth had
I been soundly thrashed by his father for
some of his escapades that appeared to
Ttis elder as too dangerous. He added
that if a little woman like Mme. Schell
had no fear of the lions he would feel like,
an arrant coward to hesitate to meet
them. In this his affianced Joined, as
she looked at her prospective husband
with an expression that seemed to be
rightly Interpreted "I'll go wherever he
does."
Sunday at the Oaks Is to be a big day
for novelties and new features. Desper
ado, pronounced the most thrillingly sen
sational act of the times, is to be on the
programme of events, and the yodlers
from far-away Tyrol will contribute na
tive songs and dances.
THIS HUBBY BUSY MAN
AFFINITY PAYS CALL ON HIS
. BRIDE OF FOFR DAYS.
Decrees Handed Down to Five Other
Women and to Four Husbands

Circuit Judge Bronaugh granted ten
divorces yesterday morning. Bessie Frib
ble said that four days after she married
Milton J. Pribble. a longshoreman, she
answered a knock at the door and found
.a woman wio wanted to see Mr. Pribble".
On being Informed that he was not in
she fold Mrs. Pribble that he "had a
date" with her the night before and
that she had come to see why he did not
keep it. The Pribble wedding took place
January "'24, 1903.
Mrs. Pribble went on to ' tell Judge
Bronaugh that her husband beat her un
til her face was black and blue, and
that four months after the marriage she
was not only beaten but ejected from the
house at 2 o'clock in the morning. Five
days tfefore Christmas, 1904, Pribble came
homeafter being out nearly all night,
she said, and wifhout provocation struck
her such a blow on the side of the head
that he knocked n'er unconscious and she
was ill for two weeks. Last year he not
only beat his wife, but his mother-in-law.

women f the under-world, and that al
though earning good wages he. never
spent a dollar for clothing for his wife.
She was allowed $15 a month alimony and
a decree.
A. F. Isham complained that his wife,
Ettie Isham. kept him continually in
debt, deceiving him regarding her pur
chases until the creditors swooped down
'upon him for payment. She neglected
her household duties, he said, and was
unnecessarily jealous, flying into a pas
sion in the presence of her friends, and
accusing her husband of thinking more
of them than of her. She left him in
May and went" to California, he said.
They were-marrled August 5. 1903. Judge
Bronaugh gave him a divorce.

CHINESE ' FIRM WINS SUIT
Tearing Down oX Building on Second
Street Illegal, Court Declares.
The City ,Buildlng Inspector had no
right to order Cornelia Burkhart or the
Chinese firm of Hung Sun Company to
tear down the building at 142 Second
street, according to a decision by Circuit
Judge Bronaugh yesterday afternoon. "It
was not for the building inspector to
take It upon himself to decide whether
or notx the building was unsafe. In my
Judgment that is a matter for the City
Council to decide," continued the judge.
"Especially was it illegal for the in
spector to order the Chinese to tear down
the building or someone else," said the
court. For their failure to do this the
Chinese were arrested by the police, and
their store barricaded. Mrs. Burkhart
then hireiK a dray, and took 'all th'eir
goods to a warehouse, where she had
them stored.
The order of the Building Inspector to
tear down the building upon which Mrs.
Burkhart had a lease, came when the
shacks on the Gerlinger property, at Sec
ond and Alder streets, were torn down,
and excavation begun for a modern
building. This so weakened the wall and
foundation of the structure on which Mrs.
Burkhart held a lease, and in which the
Chinese had their store, that the Build
ing Inspector deemed it unsafe.
The suit of the Chinese against Mrs.
Burkhart, which was decided by Judge
Bronaugh yesterday, alleged the conver
sion of their property. They asked Judg
ment for $82,419.73. Judge Bronaugh de
cided that although they held a, valid
lease, and were entitled to remain upon
the property without interference. Mrs.
Burkliart's act did not amount to con
version of their property.
"The interference and removal of the
goods was an act of trespass, and was
unlawful, however. said the court.
The Chinese will now be obliged to
bring another suit asking for damages,
if they wish to recover.
CRIMINAL CASES DEALT WITH
Culprits Sentenced by Judge Bro
naugh in Circuit Court.
A. L. Gray, son of a North End banker,
