Mr. O'Brien returned yestrrday mora lng from a six weeks' stay In California, much Improved In health, and delved at once Into the routine affairs of his olflce. The brlJce matter was one of the first that was railed to his attention. a result of his conferences with . W. Cotton, general attorney for the Harri man road, a meeting with the sub-commute of the street committee of the City Council, which baa the bridge ques tln In band, was arranged for Friday aft-moon at 3 o'clock. There ought to be little difficulty In disposing of this brldse question." aald Mr. O'Brien yesterday afternoon. "I don't know whether I am thoroughly fa miliar with the latest phases of the situ ation, but frrm what I understand It Is a problem teat ought to find some solu tion. Reasonable Adjustment Sought. Now. what we are preparing to do. or what they are preparing me to do. is to s-ure a reasonable and satisfactory set tlement of the whole controversy. In the next few days 1 11 endeavor to deter mine what can best be done to arrive at a Just conclusion. from the start I have been willing t- negotiate with the city, to compro mise with the Council. In this bridge matter. At first they auggested a trade, and I told them I wa willing to trade. We even went so far as to have deeds prepared for the property tne city wished ua to convey, and we delivered those deeds to the City Attorney. Then they siicvestrd that we allow each deal to stand on It. own merits and 1 told them 1 was willing. We named a price for our property and the city refused It. Now triey are arranging another transaction and I am eager to make satisfactory terms. There seems to be an Impression In some quarters that we are standing In the way of the Broadway bridge, but we ran show clean skirts on that issue. Ttie records will bear me out In this. No one Is able to lay a Bnger on any one point and say that we even as much as placed a straw In the way of the Broadway bridge. We are not op posed to the new bridge, and think It ought to be built. We also are eager to have our own bridge completed anJ espect soon to arrange terms so that work -can proceed on both structures." Official to Visit Norlhwrot.

WHOLE CITY IS HELPED Resolutions Declare AVork Will Be Suspended Unless More General and Equitable Response to Appeal Is Made. Vpon an "equitable distribution of the expense" of conducting the campaign of publicity, outlined by the Portland Com mercial Club for 1911. resta the future existence of the promotion committee. If the leading firms of the city do not respond to this system of the dividing the burden, then the committee will close Its books and silently yield to some other body willing to undertake the work. This waa decided at a meeting of the com mittee yesterday and vigorous resolu tions were adopted. It Is ierted that the burden of main taining the publicity bureau In the past has been borne by only a portion of the business, professional and property Interests directly benefited. While the burden hao been heavy, the benefits have been Telt by all the city. The "out-of-proportlon" they represent to carry the lion's share of the work and permit others to escape their share. With thj8 end in view the promotion committee yesterday adopted the follow ing resolutions: Whereas, tha burden of financing the pub. llcitr and nromotion work of the Portland Commercial Club ha been mainly sustained In ths pat by only a portion of the business. Srofesslonal and property interests directly eneflted. and Whereas, such subscriptions as have been paid have In th main been out of propor tion In relation to each other, and Whereas, to be the success It deserves to b this work should receive the proportionate financial support of all benefited Interests; therefore ba It Resolved, by the promotion committee or the Portland Commercial Club, that the con tinuation 'of this work be made contingent upon a more general and more equitable re sponse to the appeal for funds than has been accorded in the saat; that If such response Is not made this work be suspended; and be It further , Resolved, that our confidence in this work and our faith In the business, professional and property Interests of Portland is such that w firmly believe that upon representa tion of the facts to each firm or Individual a proportionate subscription will be forth coming, so this work of paramountimport ance can be continued. CARTOON FIELD IS BIG IIOMER DAVENPORT SAYS PUB LIC DEMAND GROWS. More Men Engaged la Molding Opinion by Pictures Than Ever Before In History. Homer Davenport, the cartoonist dropped Into Portland last night from Sllverton, where he visited his family, on his way to New York. There he will resume his work. "In making my cartoons, which are now syndicated." said Mr.. Davenport, "I have to be very careful. They must be non-polltlcal. Tou see we serve two papers down In Texas, then possibly two in Maine and so on. The sections are far apart and, of course, conditions politically are equally so. "What do I think of the cartoon field? It Is blgr. Cartoons are types of the men who make them. Cartoonists cre ate their own field. They differ in their product Just the same as men differ. Every cartoonist must win his own subscribers, admirers, patrons or what ever you are disposed to call them. His stvle. type, method, or product is pecu liar and distinct. McCutcheon, of Chi cago, haa adapted himself to Chicago surroundings or. rather, I might say that Chicago has adapted itself to McCutcheon. So It Is with Donnahey, of Cleveland, or your friend Murphy of Portland. "A cartoonist has a rich field to work In. He creates, I believe, public sentiment and molds to greater or less Oregon, - .191 . . DOLLARS , degree the public thought of which he treats In his cartoon. Ridicule Is a serious weapon. It Is doublyso In the hands of the cartoonist. Cartoon work as a profession Is growing In this coun try and I think that there are more en gaged In It at the present time than at any other time in the history of the country. This Is due to the demands of the public and the rapid growth of Journalism." SALMON SEASON OPENING Flint Arrives to Load for Alaska and Tinplate Arrives.

' After a Jury was empanneled In the case of George and Pearl Simpson, charged with conducting a disorderly house, known as the Eagle Rooming House, yesterday morning It was dis covered that the. wrong persons had been arrested. The case was then dis missed upon motion of Deputy Dis trict Attorney Collier. This is the second of the so called "Municipal League" cases to come up before the Circuit Court, both being lost. The difficulty yesterday was that a mistake had been made regarding the house in which the crimes had been committed. It being found as the evi dence was about to be taken that It was the Golden Eagle Rooming House at Fourth and Burnslde that is alleged to have offended, and not the Eagle Room ing House, of which the Simpsons have charge. Aa there was no evidence against the house conducted by the Simpsons, there was nothing for the court to do but to dismiss the case. Everything was In readiness to be gin the trial, when Deputy District At torney Collier walked over to the op posing attorneys and after whispered consultation, explained the case to the court. Three witnesses for the state were present. They probaly will also be used at other trials of the same sort, now pending. They are Grant Kellogs, Tom Torson and W. S. MacLaren.
