Advice Not Heeded; Sfides on Marquam Hill Result. A four months itinerary has been The Biggest Thing in the News: planned for Mr. Wetherell, who until 18 months ago was the only field sec retary in the employ of the league At the present time, however, he is in charge of field work for the en tire society, which now numbers some 9000 members.

Something Must Be Done Soon to Saye Boulevard. Six months ago members of the county board of commissioners were urged to construct a flume leading from Marquam hill to Marquam gulch. o that the soli and mud excavated from the basement of the new county hospital might be carried over the roadway leading to the hospital grounds and Terwilliger boulevard and placed in the gulch below. This suggestion was offered by C. P. Keyser. superintendent of city parks, at a regular meeting of the county commissioners, but was not heeded. It was stated at the time that the contract for the excavating had been let and that It would be Impractical to change the specifications at that time. It now develops that the flume sug- i Seated must be installed if the slides from Marquam hill are to be stopped, and because of lack of water of suf ficient pressure, such sluicing opera tions as are necessary cannot begin for weeks, and perhaps months. Damage Greater Kara Day. In the meantime the damage to Ter williger boulevard is becoming great er day by day. The last slide from Marquam hill, which occurred Sun day night and early Monday morn ing, tore an immense cut In the em bankment which supports the boule vard. According to Park Superintendent Keyser, who is an accredited engineer, continuation of the slides will soon tear out the light cable, thus forcing the turning out of all lights on the boulevard, and that if nothing is done soon to stop the slides it will only be a matter of time until the rock foundation of the rnariwwv will !,-.. come undermined, causing immense I t damage to the boulevard. Thus far I I Investigation shows that the damage resulting to the boulevard can be re paired easily. Investigation of the latest county hospital flide shows that a large amount of soil and mud. which was a part of a hill of earth situated, when the hospital Is viewed from the boulevard, at the extreme left of the new building. This hill is a part of the new earth removed Irom the basement of the hospital. The constant rains have loosened this soil and it is almost cer tain that thousands of cubic yards of slimy mud will soon begin to slide down the hillside onto the boulevard. Boulevard Not Cleared Vet. About one-third of the total exca vation from the hospital basement has already slid down the hill. Yes terday a crew of men were busily engaged in clearing the muck from the temporary roadway used to carry supplies to the hospital. No effort was being made to clear Terwilliger boulevard. Park Superintendent Keyser and Assistant Kngineer Kremers, who were instructed by the city council to Investigate the slides, conferred with Roadmaster Eatchel, and at this conference all engineers agreed that sluicing of the earth through a flume was the only remedy for the slides. , H. A. Whitney of Sutton & Whitney, architects for the hospital, said that specifications for the plumbing for the new hospital were now being prepared and that bids would be called for within two or three weeks, or as soon as possible after the county board of commissioners had authorized the calling for such bide. Marca 1 Likely Date. It will take a number of weeks following the acceptance of the bid for the installation of the water pipe necessary to carry the volume re quired for the flume, it was stated It is not likely that a flume could be constructed and placed in opera tion under the existing conditions sooner than February 10, or possibly March 1. In the meantime engineers who have viewed the elide are certain that the winter rains will continue the slides, with a continuation of more serious damage to the boule Yard.
