SAXKM. Or, April 2Z. (Special.)
Became they umtrd they were re
ceiving bad beefsteak, stale potatoes,
bad baron and worwi ajravy for their
food. ISO tracklayers on the. Oregon
Klertrlc extension south from hero
walked out today and refused to re
sume work.
The report came In late tonight to
the Salem police, who were Riven In
structions to Hoard carefully lodging
houses and prevent disturbances that It
was thoucht possible might arise on
the arrival of the striking men. many
of whom are reported to be heading for
Salem. The majority of the men who
went on strike are said to be. Ameri
cans. The contractors could not be lo
cated, and the camp Is Isolated so that
details further tha" those reported to
the police hero tonight are lacking.
The tracklaylng crew has been at
work for about two weeks, and has
been making rapid progress toward Al
bany. No report" dissatisfaction
have been received prior to this time.
Hut It Is said that a few days ago bad
beefsteak was the main course for one
of the meals.
This was followed the next day by
the poor bacon, poor gravy and stale
potatoes. It ts asserted. Th advance
guard of the men, about 12 In all. ar
rived here tonight, and many more are
expected either tonight or In the
morning.
This probably will delay the work for
a little time until another crew can be
rushed Into Salem, or unless the men
can be persuaded to return to their
work on promises of better sustenance.

cases la being made by the grand Jury
of the April term of the Coos County
Circuit Court, ana in addition the grand
Jurors are looking Into another death,
the details of which. It la said, warrant
further probing.
Today at the convening of the Circuit
Court at Coqullle, the trial of Ooldle
Bestcott. for the murder of Charles
Murray, was taken up for trial. Judge
Henry L Benson, of Klamath Falls, la
on the bench. He exchanged places

holding court at Klamath, where he
will hear rases In which Judge Benson
Is disqualified.
The Bestcott woman m-as the keeper
of a resort In Marshfleld on the main
street. She shot Charles Murray, a
bartender, whom it is asserted had
lived with her for two years. The
Bestcott woman waa Indicted by the
grand Jury for murder In the second
degree.
Today the grand Jury returned an
indictment for murder in the second
degree against W. R. Foote. aged
rancher, and father of If children, who
shot and killed Charles Wilcox In the

eral witnesses were summoned today
to appear before the grand Jury. One.
who waa subpenard. it ts said, failed to
appear, and an attachment has been Is

In addition to these three murder
cases, the grand Jury also ts Inves

NOTED ENGINEER III CITY
RALPH MOD.TESKI TO SURVEY
INTERSTATE BRIDGE.
Expert Also Will Inspect Broadway
Structure and Those Over
Deschutes River.
Ralph Modjeski, the noted bridge en
gineer, arrived in Portland from Chi
cago at 8 o'clock last night, and is at
the Portland Hotel. He will be in Ore
gon a week. He came to the Coast to
make a preliminary survey for the pro
posed interstate bridge between Van
couver, Wash., and Portland, to inspect
the new Broadway bridge and the rail
way bridges of the Deschutes River.
Mr. Modjeski will speak before Port
land commercial organizations and will
exhibit a nunVber of stereopticans slides
showing how European bridge ap
proaches and river banks are being
beautified. He will address the Com
mercial Club at 2 P. M. today, his sub
ject being "European bridges and riv
ers. Thursday he will speak at lun
cheon to tho Progressive Business
Men's Club, on "The interstate bridge."
Thursday night he will give an infor
mal talk on "Foundations in the Co
lumbia and Willamette rivers," before
the Oregon Society of Engineers. Fri
day he will leave for the Deschutes
canyon, will pass the night at Metolius,
and probably will take a special train
back, stopping at all the bridges to In
spect them. He will arrive in Portland
again Saturday night, and plans to
leave lor Chicago Monday night.
It will cost J2.000.000 to construct a
bridge across the Columbia River as
proposed, according to a very rough
estimate made by Engineer Modjeski
before making a survey. The proposed
bridge would be 3600 feet long, and it
might be necessary to construct a
short bridge over one of the sloughs.
Preliminary plans, drawn-by Mr. Mod
jeski, are for a bridge with roadway
24 feet wide, and providing for both
streetcar and team traffic In the center
of tlie bridge.
The Columbia River railway bridge
is much longer, and cost $4,000,000.
"Unless we meet unforseen obstacles
we shall finish the Broadway bridge in
January," said Mr. Modjeski, last night.
"This will be within the time limit
given in the specifications. I do not
think the bridge will cost much more
than the original estimate of J1.3S0.
000. Later estimates were a little dif
ferent, as some changes were made, but
the total practically is the same.
"I shall start the preliminary survey
for the proposed interstate bridge as
soon as I have met the members of the
Portland and Vancouver committees,
and know their wishes."
The Vancouver committee consists of
James P. Stapleton, Dr. C. S. Irwin and
A. M. Blaker. The Portland committee
Is composed of Frank B. Riley, C. C.
Colt and S. L. Woodward.
