SLOUGH LAND IS NEEDED Coonly Finds It Will Need About 1 1 50,000 to Bnjr Approach Sites Controrerpy Arises Over Terms VIth Owners of Property. Although the contract for the new Interstate bridse will be approximately $250,000 below the estimated cost of i 1.780.000, it is evident that numerous items of expense heretofore unforeseen will absorb a large portion of this now annarent surplus. For example, there U the Item of the approach on the Oregon side. The Brldee Commission and lhteresiea prop rrty owners conferred on this subject yesterday and it developed thsft it will cost at least $150,000 to secure the needed riKhts of way. While the engineers had made some allowance for right-of-way purposes, they did not figure on an amount of this fize and the Commissioners began at once to see generous portions of their tidy surplus fading away. MiaandrintaBdlnjc Arises. A misunderstanding has arisen be tween the Commission and the Penin FUla Industrial Company a subsidiary of the Swift packing-house interests, of Chicago over the terms for about 13 acres of land needed for the mmn ave nue approach and 11 acres needed for the Derby-street approach. The com pany owns them both. The Commission needs the Union avenue property, as that will be the main route to the bridge, but is not so particular about the Derby-street tract, as the approach on that street is being built largely upon the solicitation of the Peninsula Industrial Company and the Lnion Meat Company, both of which concerns are owned by the same financial inter ests. C. C. Colt, president of both these companies, together with O. C. Spencer, his attorney, met with the Commission yesterday. John F. Logan appeared as attorney for other Interested property owners. Company Offers Land. The Peninsula Industrial Company offered to deed the two strips of land to the county on the following terms: That the Commissioners first .give them a perpetual franchise for their streetcars over the Derby-street ap proach; second, that the grade of the roadway be chaDged and an under neath crossing for railway tracks 100 feet clear in width be built by the company; also that the county build for them, through each approach, a canal-opening, giving a span of 100 feet, and provide therein steel bridges, and also that the county give them the right to cross both of the approaches at every point that they desire with switch tracks underneath at grade or overhead, and that the county pay the expenses of installing safety devices. This would add an expense of about $150,000 to the cost of the bridge. Roadways Are Wamted. The Peninsula Industrial Company further asked that the county provide four roadways over each approach, to be built at "the expense of the county. They also requested that the county pive them the right to cross both of the approaches with pipes, conduits, wires, etc. Should the county accede to these requests it would, in fact, be paying $160,000 for 24 acres of land. The County Commissioners proposed that in return for both strips of land they would build an approach on Derby street; that they would provide over each approach two cross-roadways; that they would provide an embank ment Sou feet long at an elevation of 45 feet above high water, which would enable the company to put switch tracks under this length of embank ment by depressing them to a small extent, providing proper side walls and sump pumps for extreme conditions of high water, as is common in such con ditions. Coanty Agreea in Tart. They agree likewise to grant to the company a franchise for the operation of cars on the Derby-street approach, but upon the same terms governing other railroad grants. They have pointed out to the Peninsula Industrial Company that it is possible to provide n canal parallel to the Derby-street approach connecting with Columbia Slough by which access can be made to the lakes on the property of the rompany and thus avoid the necessity of building two special bridges and approaches. Mr. Colt has agreed that suih arrangement would be satisfac tory to him. ' The matter therefore reduces itself to the qeustion as to the terms of the franchise which the county will grant for streetcars on the Derby-street ap proach and the provision for sub merged crossings. The county and the company each wants the other to bear the expense of such crossings. The county has agreed to build the Derby-street approach and provide the riecessarv crossroads. This will cost approximately $110.000. YOUNG OPERA STAR COMING Maggie Teyte to Appear In Kecital at Heills on March 23. The most marvelous example of a quick and triumphant cntrv into the world of grand opera is that of Mag gie Teyte. the young prima donna whose wonderful voice and beauty have made her a star of first magni tude at 17 years of age. She is now 23. and will sing in Portland under the direction of Steers & Coman o,n Tuesday, March 23, at the Heilig. Youth, beauty and genius combine to make Miss Teyte ono of the most fascinating stars in the operatic world, as well as the youngest. She is specially adapted by nature to rep resent the ultra-modern in music. For the past three years sho has boen the acknowledged interpreter of Monsieur "Claude Debussy's music and also of all modern French music. Her debut was made at the fashionable Winter resort of Monte Carlo. In nine days she had Paris at her feet. -The musical population of that gay city could talk of nothing else except her voice, her beauty and her wit. This opportunity to hear Miss Teyte in the freshness of her powers will be appre ciated by Portland people. CHICAGO FAIR EXCELLED C. I. Smith Thinks San Francisco Show Better Than One of 1893. r. U Smith, agriculturist for the 0.-V. K. & N. Company, returned yes terday from California, after visiting at the San Francisco and the San Diego expositions. Mr. Smith saw the Chicago World's Fair in 1893 and says that in many particulars the San Francisco show has the edge on the big exposition of 22 years ago. . He likes the color pcheme better. The present show is done in pink, orange and blue. At Chicago everything was pure white. The San Francisco fair is the bigger of the two. It covers more ground and the buildings are more compact, but by no means crowded. Chicago may have had a wider variety of foreign exhibits, he says, but San Francisco still may excel in that re spect when its foreign displays are completed. The Htate buildings and the state ex liibits promise to be a big feature of the rannma-Pacific Exposition, thinks Mr. Smith, but some of them are not yet ready. The New York and tne Illinois buildings are particularly at tractive, he said. The decorations throughout the grounds are superior to those of the Chicago show. Mr Smith naturally is interested in the agricultural. horticultural and livestock departments of the exposi tion and later in the season will make a special trip to inspect those dls Dl vs. "For an exposition on a smaller scale I never aaw anything to beat it." is his comment of the San Dieo fair. PICKERS' SUIT DELAYED MADE BY NEW LAW HEARIVG OF IBS PLAIXTIFFS FROM HOPFIELDS BEFORE! COIRT. Propeet of Hearing More Than 200 M'ltneaaea Means Yet later Trial, Says Jodge Morrow. More than 150 hoppickers in a motley throng crowded Circuit Judge Morrow's courtroom yesterday to hear the trial of their suit against Dorcas Bros., wno, they declare, promised them zo days work in the hopnelds and failed to fulfill the contract. There are 165 plain tiffs in the suit, and each demands $3.50 a day for 11 days. The total amount asked is $4427.50. The crowd was disappointed yester day, for the case failed to come on for trial. Other court business interfered and Judge Morrow told the hoppickers they might as well go home and come back later. Strenuous efforts of Judge Morrow to get the attorneys in the case to settle some of the details out of court and avoid examination of more than 200 witnesses, who have been sum moned, proved futile. The defense maintained that the case was a manu factured one, and each one of the plain tiffs, besides numerous other persons, should be called to the stand. In order to prove his case Seneca Fouts, attorney for the 165 hoppickers, will have to call each one of them to the witness stand. , The complaint, which is 226 pages long, is said to be the most voluminous ever filed in the Multnomah County Cir cuit Court. The hoppickers declare that they answered an advertisement of Dorcas Bros, for 1000 pickers, and were told to go to various yards up the Wil lamette Valley. The advertisements stated that there would be 20 days of picking at 50 cents a box. If you gentlemen can't agree on some details and eliminate about nine- tenths of these witnesses, the time of this court is going to be occupied for many days to come," Judge Morrow told the attorneys. SINGLE TAX DISCOUNTED ORTO.X E. GOODWIJT ADVISES CIVIC LEAGUE SYSTEM IS FALLACY. Student of Sltnation In Canada, Where Plan Is Being; Tried, Says Confisca. tion of Property la Reuniting. Single tax was attacked as a fallacy by Orton E. Goodwin at a luncheon given by the Civic League at the Ha xelwood yesterday. He told of first hand experiences with the workings of that form of taxation while making Investigations along that line in Ca nadian cities where single tax pre vails. 'Confiscation of property is under way on" a large scale in Alberta, par ticularly Edmonton," he said. "De- nquent taxes have Increased In .Ed monton over $1,250,000 in five years under the workings of single tax. In Vancouver, B. C, where single tax pre vails, there was a jump in delinquent taxes from $400,000 to $750,000 in one year. Building was more brisk in 1'Jiu than in any other year in Vancouver, and that was pointed to as showing the beauties of single tax. But take the figures of any of the other Canadian cities for that year and It will be seen that the percentage of increase was ower in Vancouver than intiny of the others." Other speakers substantiated the statements of Mr. Goodwin. The other side of the argument will be taken by Dr. C. H. Chapman before the Civio League department of reveruie ana taxation at luncheon next Tuesday. He will champion single tax.

Wash.. March 2. (Spe cial.) Grays Harbor, one of the wet test sections of Washington, and also one of the wettest sections of the I'nited States, when gauged by its average annual rainiau, is m a lair way to see reqords for light precipi tation for the Winter months broken. Grays Harbor is already 17.5 inches below the average winter rainfall, ac cording to figures taken In 14 years. Now that the legislative smoke has cleared away and the various depart ments of the state government have been reduced to the rut of routine, the proposed changes in several important officers again are demanding tne alien tion of the office-seekers and causing material for comment by political prophets. Passage of the Moser bill giving the annointive power in the state govern ment the power to remove officials a,nd making the terms of all appointive or fleers and employes in the state service indefinite, will give Governor Withy- combe opportunity to nil several im portant . offices that - otherwise would have remained in aharge of the incum bents until their terms expire. Mr. Beckwith'a Friends Busy. One such office already has been diS' posed of by the resignation of Miss Fern Hobbs as a member or tne inaus trial Accident Commission and the se lection of Carle Abrams to succeed her. - The Governor has power, however, to replace the two other members of the commission with persons of his own selection. Under the law no more than two members of the commission can be members of the same political party. Mr. Abrams is a Republican. W. R. Marshall, one of the present commis sioners, is a Republican, and Harvey Beckwith. the other commissioner, is a Democrat. Mr. Beckwith's friends are urging the Governor to allow him to remain on the board in the place that must be given to a non-Republican. Elmer Amidon. secretary or tne Multnomah County committee, wants to be appointed examiner in the corpora tion department to succeed S. B. Vin cent, who was appointed when the de partment, was created two years ago. Mr. Araidon is circulating a petition and has the signatures of a large num ber of Republicans, who think that his service for the party demands recogni tion at the hands of the state. Other Places May Be Changed. The Moser bill also will give the Gov ernor power to remove members of the various non-salaried boards and com missions, such as the regencies of the state educational Institutions and the governing bodies of the several elee mosynary institutions that are sup ported in whole or In part by the state. It is expected, however, that th6 Gov ernor will not be in haste to make changes in these places, if, indeed, he makes any at all. Failure of the Legislature to pass Senate bill No. 297 aimed, to transfer the appointive powers now in the hands of - the Board of Control to the Gov ernor, precludes the possibility of wholesale changes in the heads of the big state institutions.' It is apparent, however, that Colonel B. K. Lawson, warden of the State Penitentiary, is sure to lose his offi cial scalp before many weeks roll around. , Colonel Lawson Slated to Go. Colonel Lawson was one of Governor West's favorites and was one of his most trusted instruments in carrying out the West prison policies. For that reason he is unsatisfactory to the pres-' ent administration, as Governor Withy combe proposes to follow a different policy in conducting the penitentiary. He will attempt to provide employment for the men inside the walls, so that the institution may be made, to a cer tain extent, at least, self supporting. Harry P. Minto, of Salem, is one of the most active candidates for the prison wardenship. and. it is rumored, will get the Job. "Dad" Hunter, special agent for the O.-W. R. & N. Company, and Andy Vaughn, a Portland detec tive, also are candidates for the place. Joe Keller, ex-captain of police in Portland, is out for the job of parole officer at the penitentiary Several Want Commandantcy. Several candidates are out for the position of commandant at the Soldiers" Home at Roseburg. Among them is Colonel W. G. D. Mercer, who was ser-geant-at-arms of the recent Senate. He is a Civil War veteran with an excel lent record. Every Republican member of the Senate signed his petition asking the board to appoint him. Friends of W. W. Elder, the present commandant. are urging ' that no change be made. He is a Democrat. In filling the offices of institutions under jurisdiction of the Board of Con trol, Secretary of State Olcott and Treasurer Kay each has an equal voice with the Governor. It is believed therefore, that Dr. R. E. Lee Steiner, superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane, at Salem, will be retained. Dr. W. D. McNary, superintendent of the Tuberculous Hospital; E. S. Tillin ghast, superintendent of the School for the Deaf; E. T. Moore, superintendent of the Blind, and Will Hale, superin tendent of the State Training School for Boys, also may be reappointed.

Eilers Building, Alder at Broadway KILL UNFIT IS URGED NfeW YORK DOCTOR WOULD HAVE DEFECTIVES ERADICATED. Paper by Dr. Edward .Wallace I.ee Draws Criticism of Chlcagoan Who Polnta to Commandment. CHICAGO. Feb. 26. More or less in terest has been aroused, among prom inent American criminologists and oth ers who have made a study o penal institutions and corporal punishment by the announcement by OJr. Mwara Wallace Lee, o New YorK, oi nis oDinion that defective criminals and in curably insane persons should be put to death by the state. . In a rjaoer on the subject ur. lee divides the inmates of penal institu tions into three classes: inose wno should not be there at all and should never have been confined; those who should be treated with the hope of cure, and those who should be eradi cated. Dr. L.ee includes in the latter class all mental, moral and. physical defectives suffering from atavistic traits whom no manner of treatment or punishment will benefit in the elight est degree.. For the sake of humanity ana pos terity," Dr. Lee says, "I believe this Hasa should be eradicated. If the right to pass upon the life of a crim inal is to De given to a juuiumi uu"). is it nnt consistent to ask that a prop erly constituted National Board of Health be vested witn simitar ngnis in regard to the absolutely incur able?" Takine ud the New York doctor s question Joseph C. Mason, of this city, makes this reply: If we are to conform our worsnip whollv to the god of mammon, yes. But if the teachings of both the Old and New Testament scriptures are worth .anything, and sentiments oi nu manity are not to be entirely sup pressed, no. if we are too soraia to care iur me IrresnnnRibilities in our midst, we are heading in the wrong direction. The commandment is against the shedding of innocent blood, and the blood of an irresoonsible being necessarily is in nocent. The whole body of the peo- nle. actiner in an organized capacity, may not evade this mandatory injunc tion any more than an individual." 'DEAD MAN'S OUTFIT" USED i"ew Electric Motor Device So Made to Stop If Operator Dies. CHICAGO, Feb. 26. A "dead man's outfit" is the name given oy niuiui men to the control on electric locomotives which automatically shuts off the cur rent and applies the brakes if the mo torman takes hia hand from the con troller while on duty.

"It is what we call a 'dead man s out fit.' If he faints or drops dead and his hand leaves the controller It springs up and the current is interrupted, and brakes set." "BILLY SATURDAY" NEEDED Rabbi Declares Jews Want Man Like Billy Sunday to Stir Religion. BROOKLYN", Feb. 23. In his lecture on "The Religion of Shylock" In the F.ightli-A venue Temple Rabbi Alexan der Lyons ventured the opinion that "our Christian brethren need the rug ged attack of a man like Billy Sunday to lift them, as a sweet suavity never can. We Jews ought to have a sort of Billy Saturday.' who, with the virility and ruggedness of speech and of action of the prophets of old will .shock and shake us from the low level of re ligious failure and cause us to rise to the higher reaches of our religious des tiny and duty." Then he continued: "Unless the downward and debased tendencies of mankind have the persist ent offset of the influence of a genuine God-consciousness as a religious factor we may expect in varying forms euch individuals as Shylock, who may be re garded as a Jew but in no sense as rep resentative of the Jew any more than Bassanio and Antonio In their persecu tion of Shylock may be taken as rep resentatively Christian in the proper acceptation of that term. "It is easy to find in all denomina tions at the present time individuals who do not exemplify the same kind of cruelty that Shylock did who in other ways of exploitation and retaliation are comparatively more culpable and deserving of greater condemnation. People who commercially exploit childhood, people who thrive on in dustries which enrich themselves ma terially and destroy myriads of others morally, people who In different parts of the world and to a certain extent in America antagonize, cross, and even cruelly treat Jews simply because they are Jews are not only not better than Shylock but they are not as good as he because with the opportunities of a more advanced civilization and cul ture they ought to know and act bet ter. Such people are largely produced by their history without being im proved by their religion." COE REHEARING IS DENIED Supreme Court Passes on Plea ot ' Woman in Litigation. SALEM. Or., March 2.
