That new red steel framework that stands out prominently on the east side of the river opposite Gltsan street and which la being- augmented every day Is taking- form as a railroad bridge, and that Is what It will be as the structure is extended westward across the Willamette. The work has progressed so far now that the structure Is beginning to look like a bridge. Persons standing- on either the Morrison bridge or the Burn side bridge now can obtain a definite Idea of the slzo and elevation of the new Harriman structure. The steel work has been completed from the street level on the. east ap proach to the edge of the river. Prep. aratlona are rapidly being made to p In the first span from the east abu raent to the east pier. No work has been done on the west side as tbe ap proach for the bridge there has not yet been cleared. As soon as the old round house site Is leveled the work of build ing out from the west side will be started. Boat to Bear Lift- Government has been trying to. and has partially succeded In. convicting for conspiracy to defraud it of its pub lic lands. "The lands covered In this list are with in the Cascade Forest Reserve, and were purchased by these operators, and in a fraudulent manner, for the pur pose of being used as base or script for Indemnity selections, and have al ready been used for that purpose. The Government, however, after a thorough Investigation and discovery of the fradulent character of the applications by which these school lands were pur chased from the state. Is taking steps toward setting aside the patents to lands given in lieu of these said school sections. "If there is fraud sufficient, and there undoubtedly is, to Justify the Federal Government In setting aside Its patents to the lieu lands, there Is surely fraud sufficient to Justify the state In bringing suit to set aside the deeds from the state to Benson and Hyde. "Should the state recover title to these lands, they may be used for in demnity selections, and at the present price of base would net the state easily about 1750.000."

It will be an Innovation so far as local brldgea are concerned. Inasmuch as the lower deck, upon which the railroad trains will operate, will rise Independently and separately from the upper deck, which will accommodate surface and street railway traffic.

CONSTABLE TURNS TRICK Last Handful of 'Original Believers, Go From Famous Abode of 'Pro phet Who 'Went Broke' 'Is raelites' in Last Struggle. CHICAGO, May 9. (Special) Con stable Hteka went down to Zion City today from 'Waukegan and did with a flash of his star and a twist of his ingenuity what hundreds of Vollva fol lowers have failed to do. He drove the last handful of "original Dowieites" from Shlloh House, the tradition haunted one-time abode of the "Prophet." As a result of the visit of Constable Hicks the remnant of John Alexander Dowle's Church of Peace is without home or tabernacle and Is composed of wanderers, for all the Zlon City of to day cares, on the face of the earth. For six weeks Shiloh House, garri soned by Elder John G. Taylor and 30 disciples whose . lives stm pivot about memories of "Prophet" Dowie, has been beleagured night and day. Mrs. Emily Grind, who bought Shiloh House from the receivers of Dowle's estate and in sisted on coming . into her own, gen erated the besieging army. The garri son guarded the place so vigilantly and resolutely, however, that every attempt to obtain entrance had been blocked until it was suggested that the Con stable might find a way out or in. Constable Hicks kept Elder Taylor and his men busy at the back; door while as many fearless souls as would volunteer climbed Into the front win dows on the second floor from scaling ladders. The besieged struggled des perately against the storm of Vollva followers but were overpowered and driven out. Central Oregon Residents Believe Water Could Be Conducted by Sluicing From Bend Across Crook, Wasco and Sherman. A 110.000,000 irrigation canal hat will carry water 120 miles across can yon, plain, over mountain and into val leys Is one of the projects proposed for Central' Oregon. No definite plan for this huge enterprise has yet been de vised, but in Central Oregon there are a number of men who believe that it is possible. . The plan is that a canal or sluiceway be built from the Deschutes River at Bend across Crook. Wasco and into i Sherman counties. It is pointed out that this project could be accomplished for the reason that the altitude at Bend is 2700 feet and the highest point at Shanlko is 8300 feet and most of Sher man County is less than 2000 feet. Route Could Be Located. It is asserted that an engineer could find the route by which such an Irri gation line could be established and all Intermediate points served with suffi cient water to make the project one of the most noted in the world as well as the most far-reaching in benefits. It is estimated that the cost of the enter prise would be $10,000,000. but that the distribution of water to such a wide area of land would more than pay for the cost of the project. It is not said who is the real author of the scheme, but the fact is estab lished that in Madras, Metollus, Shanl ko and at all points between Madras and Shanlko 'the plan is being discussed and is believed possible. Tbe fall of the Deschutes River from Bend to the Columbia River, a distance of 140 miles, is over S500 feet an av erage of li feet to the mile. It is also asserted that there is enough water to irrigate 600,000 acres of land and that S00.000 acres are available within the radius of the proposed canal which could be run to Sherman County. Reservoirs Are Planned. ' At Madras it would provide water in an abundance for the entire valley, which would be 300 feet below the run ning line of the water, but reservoirs could be established in the region which would conserve a sufficient amount to serve all purposes. The project's scope includes a large num ber of reservoirs which would permit the water being stored for the lower altitudes, so that the Summer run might be carried on to the farthest points and thus plenty of water be , served to those In need of It. ana who could not be served unless the upper end' patrons had reservoirs to store the water during the Winter or Summer use. The proposition as outlined has been discussed at several of the recent com mercial club meetings in the Interior towns and in a letter received from James J. Sayer, field representative of the Oregon Development League, he says that the suggestion for the con- Two Great Removal Sale Suit Specials WW- I : ! f j ! !;i'U Grand Leader supremacy as bargain givers is folly shown in these specials.

A remonstrance against the hard sur facing of Jersey street, St. Johns, with westrumite was presented to the St. Johns Council last night, and rejected by unanimous vote because it carried names of less than the required 6 2-8 per cent of the property owners on the street. On the face of the remon strance it bad 48 per cent, but on be ing compared with the city maps and the Assessor's roll it was found that only 28.87 per cent were regular, that many names were signed entirely with out authority and that 215 front feet were entirely outside the district to be paved.
