SLIGHT CHANGES NEEDED Xorthern Pacific Terminal Company Constructing More Direct Rail Line From Xew Bridge to Union Depot. Conforming to new conditions Im posed by the Harriman bridge, under which ' most river steamers can pass when the upper draw Is in place, some owners are planning to lower the hog posts and smokestacks of their vessels as far as is practicable. The Shaver Transportation Company has taken the lead with the steamer Shaver, on which a stack was fitted yesterday that is at least 10 feet shorter than the former funnel. Only a few of the sternwheeiers will be unable to go under the draw at higher stages of water than at present, and by lowering stacks and at least the kingposts. It is believed that there will be few times, even during freshets, when tbey cannot pasa with safety thereby eliminating the necessity of raising the draw frequently, and a con sequent saving in time. When the steamer Henderson was re built her kingpost was made low, and when the Shaver is hauled out later for an overhauling hers will be cut off and two additional hogposts used, one fore and the other aft of the kingpost; As the Broadway bridge will also be high, river steamers will have no delays navigating below the Burnslde-street bridge, as a rule, except when the lower deck of the railroad bridge is in use. Steam was. gotten up on the old Steel bridge yesterday so that the draw could be operated, as the crews engaged in tearing down the structure desired to remove the upper roadway on the draw. The material was carried to the west span and dumped. A lone horse was Dressed into service hauling some of the stuff, and as he was driven along a narrow walk. Improvised since tne de struction of the main deck began, his position appeared almost as ticklish as that of the men. The Northern Pacific Terminal Com pany has begun the construction of a more direct rail line .from the new bridge to the Union Depot, as the track first built was temporary and could not be extended beneath the lower portion of the old Steel bridge approach, owing to the limited height. The new track will pass close to the foot of Third street, at Hoyt. HARBOR IMPROVEMENTS WAIT Commission Will Hurry Considera tion of Ordinance Monday. Two important improvements are be ing deferred pending action of the Commission of Public Docks on an or dinance to be considered Monday aft ernoon establishing that body's juris diction on the waterfront in regulat ing the construction of new wharves and buildings, as Balfour, Guthrie & Co. have made application for a permit to increase the sixe of wheat bins at the Crown Flour Mill, and George W. Bates baa applied for authority to pro ceed wirn repairs to a dock on the West Side between Ankeay and Burnside streets. Building Inspector Plummer is to confer with the Commission as to pro visions of the ordinance. Construction will be restricted to the provisions of the building ordinance as it is now in force in the city, but applications for new structures along the harbor front will have to be passed on by the Com mission aa well as by the City Build ing Inspector. The Commission was to have considered the ordinance this morning, but as a full attendance could not be had the session was postponed. TONNAGE FOR ORIENT LARGE With Thor Five Carriers to Sail DU rect by October 15. A. T. Prichard. Portland agent for Frank Waterhouse & Co., was advised yesterday that the Norwegian steamer Thor had been fixed to load cargo at Portland for Hongkong only, sailing September 28. The vessel is at Vic toria, where she reported August 29 from San Diego. Taking into consideration the dead weight capacity of vessels to sail from this port in the Waterhouse service in a triile over three weeks, Mr. Prichard figures that there will be 29,500 short tons moved, which is far In excess of the usual facilities. The Verona, which is loading now, will sail Monday, carrying 7200 tons, for Japan only. The Thor will load 7700 tons, and goes to a direct port, while the Fltzclarence is scheduled to depart October 10 for Japan and Hongkong with 7200 tons, and the Ockley. October 15, for Hong kong and Manila with 7400 tons. The Norwegian steamer Rygja will be hero, under engagement to the Portland Flouring Mills Company, and will get away by October 1. All will load flour, some will take wheat and lumber in addition, but the Rygja will' have a full load of the former product. RCTH ASHORE AT MAGOON'S Paper Steamer Held) Up Loaded With 200 Tons for South. Hich wind prevailing yesterday, prob ably combined with low water, caused the steamer Ruth, of the Willamette Pulp & Paper Company's fleet, to go on. Magoon s Bar yesterday morning when she was loaded with about 200 tons of paper being carried to Alns wortb dock for shipment to California. The steamer N. R. Lang, of the same flag, was sent from Oregon City to take a portion of the load and assist in floating her. When on the way from Oregon City, Thursday, the Ruth went ashore in the fog. and when the steamer Annie com lngs happened along and loaded 25 tons of paper from the Ruth s bow she floated. As the W liiamette is low many shallow places are bothering steamboatmen above this city. THREE CARGOES CLEARED First Barley In Two Seasons Goes to Ipswich on Galgate.

"I went to bed at 9 o'clock," said V. D. Smith, who lives directly in front of where the body was found, testify ing before a Coroner's jury yesterda".

If, on the other hand, the car was headed the other way, the nearest route from where the body lay to the bank where it was thrown over would be around the front of the car, it being impossible to take it out on the right hand side because of the levers and ex. tra tire in the way.
