The Harriman bridge will be leased ' by Multnomah County at its own terms. The agreement was reached yesterday between the Commissioners and Arthur C. Spencer, representing the O.-W. K. & N. and Southern Pacific railroad companies. The rental to be paid for the structure is $43,200 a year, against, 944.400 paid by the city under the for mer lease. The actual cost of the bridge to the county will be less than $43,200 a year, or $3600 a month. The Commissioners made a bargain with the railroad com panies to maintain the bridge and keep it in repair for $5600 a year. The coun ty, however, will get the tolls from the streetcar company, which last year amounted to $13,800. Heretofore this amount has practically offset the cost of maintenance. Company losing;. Say Attorney. "I do not think we are being ade quately paid for the bridge," said Mr. Spencer, after the agreement bad been reached. "Chairman Lightner has told me himself that we are not getting a just compensation for the amount we invested; but, on the other hand, we are receiving the support of property owners and taxpayers who came here and appealed to the Commissioners to keep the bridge open. If we don't make the sacrifice, it will work a hardship on the property owners and also on ourselves, for we will have to close the bridge. It will cost us in round num bers $15,000 a year to give the bridge to the county at these figures." The lease will be dated January 19. as the old arrangement, which had been extended twice pending negotiations between the county and the railroads, expired at midnight last night. The contract will be drawn within A. few days, signed by the Commissioners, and ! transmitted to President Farrell, of the i O.-W. It & N. Company, for his sig nature. - The lease agreed upon will, be for one year, although the original pro posal was that the bridge be leased ' for 35 years, district Attorney Evans informed the board members that theyi were not empowered to make a lease, involving such an outlay for longer' than one year. Uiatory of Cm Given. The upper deck of the bridge was built on the order of the Port of Port land Commission. After the construc tion the city leased that part for $44, 400 a year, the amount being estimated as a fair return on the investment. With the completion of the Broadway bridge by the city the City Council de clared the railroad bridge was not needed to handle the traffic and re fused to renew the lease at the old fig ure when it expired some months ago They offered $18,000 a year, which wa characterized by some of the city of facials themselves as "no offer at all." Under the law the railroads could only appeal to the County Board to fix tolls so that they could operate a toll bridge. A petition to this effect was presented, the old lease extended 30 days and the board entered into nego tiations for the lease of the bridge by the county. An offer to rent the bridge for $52, OoO was the first proposal by the rail roads. Pending further negotiations, this amount was set aside in the coun ty budget. Ten days ago a further ex tension of the lease was granted while negotiations were still pending. The county offered $3600 a month. This was under consideration by the railroads until yesterday, when Presi dent Farrell, of the O.-W. R. & N. Com pany, telegraphed Mr. Spencer authority to close the lease at that figure.

JAKES JACKSON ACTS "TO ALLOW GOVERNOR TO ENFORCE LAW." Rule for Retirement at 60 Causes Civil War Veteran to Leave Body After 23 Years. So that Governor WIthyombe might enforce a law which has been in force for a number of years requiring the retirement of officers of the Oregon Na tional Guard when they become 60 years of age. Colonel James Jackson, a member of the National Guard for nearly 23 years, has tendered his resig nation. The resignation was delivered to Governor Withycombe by Adjutant General Finzer. Although the law requires the retire ment of officers when they reach the age of 60 years, it has not been en forced in the case of Colonel Jackson. He is now 81 years of age. "I resigned," said Colonel Jackson yesterday, "to allow the Governor to enforce a law which has been broken technically for many years. There is a law that re quires officers of the National Guard to retire when they become 60 years of age. I am now 81 years old, but the law has'not been enforced save in the case of line officers. The staff officers have not been included, al though there Is nothing In the wording of the law which controls such action." Colonel Jackson is a Civil War vet eran and a retired officer of the United States Army. He will continue to hold his rank on the retired list of the regular Army. In 1861, Colonel Jack son enliste(f in the Army and was com missioned a Second Lieutenant two years later. He served in the field throughout the Civil War, taking part in the -campaign of the Army of the Potamac. In 1898 he was appointed Inspector General of the Oregon National Guard, which position he has held since., ITALY NEEDS NO HELP CONSUL SAYS GOVERNMENT IS GRATEFUL FOR OFFERS. Member of Order of Druids Go Ahead ' rlth Original Finn to Assist Needy Kalians In Portland. Although some of the organizations of the city already have taken steps to raise funds for the relief of the sufferers in the Italian earthquake zones. Dr. Carlo Visettl, Consul from Italy, and other leading Italian resi dents of Portland, still mantaln. that there is no indication as yet mat ine Italian government is unable to .pope - ' - with the situation or is in need outside aid. Italian citizens, however, may raise considerable funds to be mailed or for warded to Italy, but it was improbable at present that there will be any gen eral request for donations. Dr. Visetti announced at the meeting of the Italian members of the Order of Druids, Sunday, that he had re ceived notice from the Italian govern ment that no immediate outside as sistance was needed, but that the gov ernment was grateful for the offers of assistance made by its citizens in America. The meeting had been called origin ally to consider ways and means to pro vide relief for the needy Italian fam ilies of Portland. Commitees will be appointed to make a canvass of Port land to ascertain the number of Italian families who need help. Then, per haps, in about two weeks. It is planned to appoint a committee of men and women to raise funds to buy supplies. The principal aim will be to obtain a large supply of foodstuffs and women will be enlisted in the campaign to superintendent that division of the work. The campaign will be put for ward formally at a large mass meeting. S. Orso, chairman of the Italian re lief committee, who presided at the meeting, said that Americans would not be asked to contribute to the Italian cause. It is estimated that there are 8000 Italians In' Portland and that many are in need of help. Dr. Knepper, of The Dalles, Dies. , THE DALLES, Or., Jan. 18. (Spe cial.) Dr. F. J.

COURT CHANGES LIKELY CIRCUIT JUDGES AND MEMBERS OF BAR TO HOLD CONFERENCE. Uniformity of Procedure and Assign ment of Cases by Presiding; Justice Polnta for Decision, Important changes in court procedure in the six departments of Multnomah County's Circuit Court will be planned at a meeting between the Judges and members of the Bar Association in the near future, if plans of Presiding Judge Morrow materialize. The meeting will be held in one of the courtrooms. Under the present arrangements each court makes its own rules, takes its assignment of cases from the County Clerk and conducts its own business as the judge pleases. As a result, the pro cedure in no two departments is the same. A return to the presiding judge sys tem, abandoned three years ago, is ex pected to come up for serious considera tion. Although the presiding Judgeship at present rotates among the six Judges, the authority and power of that ofllclal are merely nominal. Under the old system, which may be adopted again, the presiding Judge would assign cases to the different de partments, and the other five would be only trial Judges. The presiding Judge would hear all motions and demurrers. As at present, the presiding Judgeship would rotate, each holding It for three months. Whether or not the Judges decide to return to the former system, the opln- loin of a majority is that they should at least adopt uniform rules of procedure.
