BRIDGE SAVES TIME
Height of Harriman Structure
Aid to Steamers.
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.

Marine Notes.
Delayed information received yester
day is that the German bark Ellbek
sailed from Santa Rosalia September 7,
and the German bark Osterbek from
Montevideo September 16, both coming
here under charter to load wheat.
More wheat Was taken on yesterday
by the British steamer Harley, -which
shifted from the North Bank.- dock to
Columbia Dock No. 2. The British bark
KUlarney Is-to finish working wheat
today and shift to the stream from the
elevator. She will leave for sea Mon
day. The British steamer Wlllesden,
which Is likewise numbered with the
grain fleet, moved from St. Johns to
the bunkers, and may shift today to a
wheat berth. The steamer Verona went
from Albfna dock to Columbia Dock No.
2, and then shifted to Montgomery
Dock No. 2.
Two coasters cleared and got away
yesterday, the new gasoline sloop Ah-
wenada sailing for Newport on tier
first trip from here, and the gasoline
schooner Anvil for Bandon and way
ports. The latter met with a slight ac
cident to her machinery yesterday
morning near the old Steel Bridge, and
was tied up at the draw rest for a short
time. She was later towed to Couch
street dock and repairs made while
loading continued.
It Is understood that the steamer
Carlos, which sailed from San Fran
cisco Thursday, has the schooner Se
home In tow, the latter being on the
way to load lumber for the West Coast
The steamer Aurella was to have sailed
yesterday, and the steamer Claremont
today, all in the Olson & Mahony serv
ice. Officers of the steamer Bear report
that the voyage from Sari Francisco
was featured by a decidedly heavy west
erly swell, and that north of Cape
Blanco there was a stiff northwest
wind encountered. As a result, many
of the passengers were on the sick list
for a time.
Patrolman Grlslm, who was on the
harbor patrol force for a lengthy pe
riod, but since December has patrol ed
a beat in North Portland, was returned
to the marine squad yesterday. He is
regarded as one of the most efficient
men Harbormaster Speler- has had.
On the steamer Breakwater, arriving
yesterday from Coos Bay, were about
50 students of the BUtmore Forestry
School, who have studied conditions In
the C. A. Smith logging and lumber
plants, and will return to Dixie Land
for the winter.
News from San Francisco Is that the
steamer Pleiades, which went ashore
on the southern coast, and was towed
to the Golden Gate, will be repaired at
a cost of approximately $100,000. It
has also been decided to repair the
steamer Rosecrans, of the Associated
Oil fleet, which was damaged by fire at
Gavlota, and bids will be asked for next
week. From the same city it is learned
that the schooner Endeavor, which
went ashore at Suva, has been sold
with her lumber cargo, as She was bad
ly damaged and is expected to prove a

If, on the other hand, the car was

from where the body lay to the bank

impossible to take it out on the right

first, not finowing whether I could
arrange my business so as to give time
for an active and vigorous campaign.
"I expect to go out. meet and speak
to the people throughout the state, so
far as the limits or time will permit.
So far as I am concerned the campaign
will be carried on in a spirit of utmost
fairness and good feeling toward my
opponents, Mr. Selling and Dr. Lane,
for both of whom 1 nave a nign per
sonal resrard."
