Ralph Modjeskl. accompanied by tlie
Joint committee from the Commercial
Club of Vancouver and Portland, went
to Vancouver yesterday mornlns to
look over the proposed altea for the
Columbia hrldee. which la projected to
link the rarlnc Highway of Washington
and Orraon and to plve a direct con
nection between the market of Port
land and the produce of Southwestern
Wanhlnieton. Washington street and
the street Intersecting the river a n'"k
from Washington were considered. Mr.
Modjeskl favorln the former.
This would hrlnz the Vancouver ap
proach to the bridge at the place where
the ferry now makes Its landln. Mr.
Modjeskl will return East next .Monday
and will leave the details of the prelim
inary survey to his assistants.
Wrk Will Me Kfcsalllar.
-1 expect to have the plans ready
la be submitted to the Joint committee
within at least three months probably
sooner." said Mr. Modjcskl last n.Bht.
-The problem I will have to '"nfront
In makln estimates for thi bridae will
Verr similar to those encountered In
the construction of the steel railroad
brldce over the Columbia below Van
couver, and thla will simplify the work
to some extent. I do
. that preliminary survey will disclose
any condtloj,. with which I am not
' frUModje.kl expect, to return to
Orcaon at least once within two months
. to confer with the committee upon fur
ther details before he submits Ills esti
mates and p ans.
Last nlaht he waa the uet of the
Portland Commercial Club at the dinner
and later In the evening I. save a lec
ture upon Kuropean and American
brldJte to the club member" n h
ereen room. The talk was Illustrated

; ' While there Is little fault to be found
;.' lth American brt.ire from fcT'f1"'-
r..nt of utility. Mr. Modjc.kl pointed
-.wt that not many of the areat spans
here are artistically beautiful In de
sign, while the tendency In KMronean
l.ridse building Is to combine utility
with beauty. ; ' ...
"One reason for thlsXI believe. Is be-
' cause our American I engineers are
tauaht the science of engineering with
out belna; instructed In the art of archi
tecture." said Mr. Modjeskl. "and In
consequence on many of the modern
srldces. even where they have made an
effort at achieving an artistic effect,
they have erred In the direction of
cverdccoratlon Or of lack of symmetry
in decoration. .
"On the arrest Kuropean bridges they
usuallr have two men at the head Of
the project: one. the engineer who
looks after the scientific, atructural
side of the work, and the other an
srrhltect. who deals with t!ie artistic
side."
K arose Strives fr Beaaty. '
In Europe. h explained, most of the
bridges are constructed with a view
toward harmonizing the lines of their
tructure with the prevailing; archl
. lecture of the buildings that surround
1 it. Great pains are taken on most of
" I the Kuropean bridges in designing- ap
proaches, and the great bridges, as a
rule, lead at either approach, toward
.. .me beautiful building or monument.
Mr. Modjeskl's lecture waa preceded
at the dinner by a series of musical en
tertainment features, secured for the
Commercial Club through the courtesy
of Melvln O. Wlnstock, of the People's
Amusement Company.
Mr. Modjeskl will speak today at the
luncheon of the Transportation Club,
where the members of the Progressive
FtuslneF Men's Club, the Vancouver
Commercial Club and the East Side
linslness Men's Club will be guests.
Tonight he will address the Greater
Portland Plans Association at the Com
mercial Club upon bridge building as a
factor in planning- ct r beautiful."

pass by for a more picturesque part.
This rolo contains artistic possibilities
that lead the more experienced ama

at the very first reading of tho play.
Professor Catty Is In reality the lead,
and all the comedy of the plot Is woven
largely about her eccentric character.
"Miss Williams. In the rehearsals,
gives promise of scoring a trenfendous
success on the opening night." said
Miss Grace Gerrlsh. author and director
of the plav, who is In charge of its
producton here. "In other cities" where
I hare produced the 'Campus Mouser.' I
have rarely found one who adapted
herself so readily and artistically , to
the requirements of the part."
Miss Williams has been keeping the
costume and "makeup" she has planned
for the opening night, consistently in
the dark, and promises to surprise
friends at her first appearance.
Miss Gerrlsh has given orders that

SEVENTH STREET
OWNERS CLASH
Plan to Widen Thoroughfare at
Bridge Approach Meets Vig
, orous Opposition. '
TWO FACTIONS IN FIELD
Dissatisfaction With Method of Tax
ation Given ns Principal Reason
, 'toy Opponents Double Car
Track Proposed.
J. Lewis Mead, a real estate broker,
and Scott Brooke, a Seventh street pro
perty owner, are engaged in circulating
a petition opposing the widening of
Seventh street and vrere yesterday in
terviewing propert..- owners In the hope
of securing signatures to defeat the
project. I'pon securing a few signers
the property owners in favor of the
proposed plan put a committee to work
in an effort to offset the plan of the
opposition. ' '
The opposers claim that thry are dls
satisfled with the method of assessment
and It Is upon this representation that
they are basing their contest, lor sev
eral months property owners on tho
street have been assiduously at work,
on the project,' basing their hopes upon
the effect that the Broadway bridge
will have upon Seventh street.
The proposed widening only goes
from Burnslde to the bridge six or
seven blocks. The street from Kurn
side to the hill Is of ample width and
it Is argued that to have a narrow ap
proach to the bridge will only thwart
the development of the street as an
Important artery through the city's
business district.
Double Track Proposed.
It is the intention of our company."
said B. S. Josselyn. president of the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Com.
pany. "to build a double-track on Sev
enth street to the Broadway bridge,
providing the City Council sees fit to
grant us a franchise. It will enable us
to route many cars over the new bridge
and thus save a good deal fit time to
some of the more lmportantKast Side
lines. The widening of the street will
play an Important part in our ability
to route cars over this street.
"One of the serious problems we have
now In Portland is the congestion In the
down district owing' to the narrow
streets. Something will have to be pro
vided as time goes along to alleviate
this condition. The move on Seventh
street is in the right direction and is
even of broader aspect than its relation
to the property owners of that street,
for If the street Is made wider it will
materially aid in relieving the conges
tion. Portland sooner or later will have
to meet the grave problem of widening
some of its principal thoroughfares and
each day of postponement means that it
will cost in the end just so much more."
Proteata Reach City Hall.
Piwtests against the widening of
Seventh street have commenced to reach
the City Hall. Among those-flled yester
day was one from the Y. M. C. A. and
one from the Y. W. C -V- Several
signed by Individuals also were re
corded. All are based on alleged In
justice as to assessment, the remon
strators contending that the viewers
have not correctly ifpresented the
benefits charged against the various
pieces of. property.
The report of the viewers, filed re
cently and referred yesterday by the
City Council to the street committee,
calls for costs of $290,000 for the wid
ening of tho street, nearly all of which
la assessed as benefits against prop
erty in the district to be assessed.' The
street committee will consider the re
port and the remonstrances in the near
future.

GRADE SEPARATION URGED
Mayor Rushlight Recommends
$500,000 improvement on Road.
s
,lavnr Rushlight has recommended to
the subcommittee of the charter com
mission a plan to do away with the
grade orossings of the O.-W. R. A: N. Co.
on Its main line through Sullivan's
Gulch, which will cost that company
approximately $500,000 if It carries. He
wants the roadbed regraded to a suffi
cient depth to permit of the- passage of
trains beneath bridges to be placed by
the city.
"If this regrade plan should be car
ried by the people in voting on the pro
posed commission charter." said the
Mayor. "It will be one of the greatest
Improvements and public safeguards
ever contemplated. It would also give
the company better grades and the dirt
could be used to fill up the slough near
the river. "

rester and Hill coming along to cn
Jov the discomfiture of his enemy.
What offices Marshall is not the In
cumbent of. says Hill, relatives hold.

ing not in the best of 'condition. Hill
sav-s he intended to pay Marshall In
Installments.
Not satisfied with the payments. Mar
shall went to the office of Hill yes
terday with a hammer and started to
drive his point of view Into Hill. Hill
retaliated, he says, took the hammer
away from Marshall and threw it away.
Then they fought until Marshall finally
gave up- according to Hill.
Separating, they started downtown.
Missing: a car put Marshall a little be
hind and HM1 got out the warrant.
Twenty relatives of Marshall put up
$25 bail and Marshall was released.
After the fight. Marshall's father-in-law,
aged 60 years, offered to take
up the contest with Hill where Marshall
had left off. "William says he has
enough. You better let it go at that,"
replied HilK x

they were obliged to go 10 rooiinus
