Work on Portland-Vancouver
Bridge Begins.
CONCRETE WILL SOON POUR
Commissioners From Multnomah
and Clarke Counties Witness
Commencement of Opera
tions Bids Opened.
A huge piledriver descended with a
crash on a 94-foot piling- at the south
exJgre of Oregon SlouR-h yesterday after
noon, and the first piece of foundation
for the longrest bridge in the world
was Imbedded into the muddy bottom.
The piledriver kept on descending with
regular crashes, punctuated by the
whirr of a steam engine, until the huge
piece of piling was buried to the wa
ter level.
C. 8. Swlgert. of the Pacific Bridge
Company, and Robert Wakefield, wno
did the job, declare this is the longest
piece of piling- ever driven in the Pa
cific Northwest. Today others will
be added, and by the end of the week
Mr. Howard believes the first concrete
will be poured into the first pier.
No Ceremony Attends Work.
There was no ceremony about the
affair yesterday afternoon. It was
casually mentioned by Mr. Howard at
the courthouse yesterday morning, and
County Commissioner Holbrook, Dis
trict Attorney Evans and others
averred that they would like to see
the first piece of piling driven by the
big piledriver.
All the other members of the Inter
state Bridge Commission. including
the Commissioners from Clarke Coun
ty. Washington, were -present, but they
elected to look over the Columbia
Hiarhway instead. They wanted to see
something that was finished.
The others went to the bridge right
of way and watched- the big piledriver
hammer the piling down. They soon
tired of this and went across to Hay
den Island, where dredges are at work
preparing for the big piers to be sunk
Into the river bed.
Yesterday's work that attracted at
tention of the county authorities was
on a contract let to the Pacific Bridge
Company. The work is being done un
der the supervision of Robert -Wakefield.
H icrh Water Not to Hamper. ,
E. B. Howard, local head of the firm
f consulting engineers employed by
the bridge commission, said yesterday
that evidence points to low water in
the Columbia . River this year, and
therefore little if any cessation of work
on account of floods is anticipated.
High water Is usually looked for in
June and it was thought that this
might cause delay in the work, but
Mr. Howard now believes the contrac
tors can work through without a hitch.
Yesterday morning the Commission
ers opened hids for the embankment
to the Derby-street approach to the
Interstate bridge. The Standard Amer
ican Dredging Company was the low.
est bidder, offering to do the work for
$112,988. Next was ttie Tacoma Dredg
ing Company, with $137,390, and third
was the Pacific Bridge Company. $139,
500. Only three bids for this contract
were received.
Enelnrn Reviews Bids.
The Derby-street approach was not
provided for in the original plan of
the bridge. It was authorized by the
Commissioners of Multnomah County
when it was found that enough money
would be left over to build a second
approach to the big interstate struc
ture. The original approach was from
Union avenue.
The three bids were turned over to
Engineer 13. K. Howard by the Com
missioners yesterday. Mr. Howard will
look into them further and make a re
port before the contract is awarded.
The Standard American Dredging
Company is the concern which built
the great Galveston causeway and
made the Oakland Harbor fill for the
.Southern Pacific Company.
STREET EXTENSION ASKED
liesidents Petition That East Six
teenth Iteach to Schiller.
Extension of East Sixteenth street
from Holgate street to Schiller street,
a distance of 900 feet, will be recom
mended to the City Council by City
Engineer Dater as a result of an in
spection yesterday. The extension has
been petitioned for by residents of that
section.

EASTERN PLANTS RESUME
W. D. Stubbs, Illinois Central Agent,
Reports Business Improved.
W. XX Stubbs, general agent in Port
land for the Illinois Central, has Just
returned from his home office at Chi
cago with the cheerful report that busi
ness in the Middle West actually is im
proving. "In some localities," he says, "the
people really are enjoying a degree of
prosperity resembling a boom. In Chi
cago, for Instance, a number of big
industrial plants have resumed opera
tions after varying periods of idleness.
This isn't mere talk back there, but
it is an actual ract a concrete illus
tration that prosperity, in a measure at
least, is returning."

NEW YORK, April 2C. For the greater

Selling of Heading toward the eDd seemed
to emanate from substantial sources, while
the extensive offerings of Steel pointed to

exhibit will not be especially encouraging
Prior to the late selling, new high prices
had been made by some of the less prom

Promises Big Crops.

clal.) The potato acreage which has
been planted and will be planted here
this season is more than twice as larsre
as usual and there will be many car
loads for shipment this Fall.

here this year is that it is being plant,
ed mostly on former alfalfa fields, rich
in fertility, whereas in former years
the potato ground has been mostly new
ground -Without humus ami harder to
control as to moisture content- Result,
of experiments last year and the year
previous seem to prove conclusively
that a farmer can well afford to plow
up the best stand of alfalfa for his po
tato plot. The varieties which are be
ing planted are tho Burbank and Net
ted Gem.
