SELLWODD BRIDGE
GETS NEW BACKING
East Side Business Men's
Club Favors Span.
LOW COST POINTED OUT
Replacing of Burnslde Structure
Also Declared Necessary
for Handling Traffic.
After a careful analysis of the
approximate cost of the proposed
new bridges across the Willamette
river and a study of traffic condi
tions through the central east side
district the East Side Business
Men's club has taken definite action
to support measures on the Novem
ber ballot for new bridges at Burn
side street to replace the present
structure and for a new span at
Sellwood instead of at the Beacon
street site as was recently proposed
at a Joint meeting of the city and
county commissioners. A committee
of three members of the club, L. M.
Lepper. T. J. Rowe and U. D. Maion,
wag appointed recently as the trans
Willamette bridge committee to in
vestigate the matter.
Bridge Issue Hot.
The proposed measures for the
new bridges across the Willamette
have been the cause of much inter
est to the various civic and com
munity organizations on the east side
recently. The Sellwood club has been
active in proposing a new bridge to
replace the present Sellwood ferry
and has- prepared definite data
which was presented to the commis
sioners with the plea of the Sell
wood board of trade to place the
measure on the ballot for a vote at
the November election.
Alembers of the east side business
men's organization. point out that a
bridge at Beacon street and at St.
Johns would be highly desirable, but
that the time is not yet ready for
such an enormous expenditure as
would be necessary for their con
struction and that the Sellwood
bridge and a new bridge at Burn
side street would immediately rem
edy conditions at a much less cost
Sellwood Span Cheaper.
The Sellwood bridge is favored,
said the report, because of the nar
rowness of the river at this point
and the fact that the structure could
be built -for about $450,000.
"The present cost of the Sellwood
ferry will more than carry the in
terest on these bonds and the up
keep of the bridge," read the re
port. "This' ferry now carries about
100,000 persons each month, which
would be multiplied many times over
with a permanent bridge with 24
hours' continuous service available
It would make a fine scenic loop
and care for much of the same bus!
ness that the proposed Beacon-street
bridge would. We recommend that
the Burnside bridge and the Sell
wood bridge be put on the ballot at
the coming November election.
The report declared that the pro
posed Beacon-street bridge would
cost more than $2,500,000, $1,500,00
for the brdige and $1,000,000 for the
approaches, which later would come
out of- the taxpayers, even though
the bridge approaches would be a
district improvement.
yesterday morning. " It was decided
to hold the gathering in Portland
following a hurried conference with
Presiding Bishop L. W. Kyles, of
St. Louis, Mo., who was met at th
train Wednesday night en route to
Seattle.

is rated as an eloquent orator, will
deliver his Episcopal address; Sat
urday all day will be taken up with

Miss., president .and founder of the
Okolona industrial school for col

ward, Says Lecturer.
"At the age of 35 the average man
and woman begins to go backward
rather than ahead," said George
Cromwell Blower in his lecture on
"Human Junk Piles" at the Lincoln
high school last night. "After 35
they grow indifferent to larger
things and allow commonplace
things to 'get them". They get into
ruts, and the only difference be
tween a rut and a grave is the
width and depth of the hole.
"In younger days one's body can
stand abuse, but, like an automo
bile, with age it will begin to grunt
and rattle and knock. By right liv
ing, by being temperate in all things
and by liv'ng as close to nature as
possible, man should be more power
ful at 50 than at 35. If your body,
mind and nervous system do not
work together, your spirit cannot
be right.
This was the last in the series of
free lectures. Mr. Blower will be
gin his classes this evening in the
crystal room of the Hotel Benson,
and tomorrow night he will lecture
at the People's theater on "The
Oreat Unconscious Mind."

Honored Prelate of North Wins
Remarkable Recognition From.
Episcopalians for Work.
Formal presentation to Right Rev.
Peter Trimble Rowe, bishop of
Alaska, of checks for $71,500, the
total amount of the Bishop Rowe
fundution fund, was made at the
auditorium last night. The fund was
collected in honoj of Bishop Rowe's
Alaska.
The ceremony was impressive.
Stephen Baker, nationally known fi
nancier, who has been custodian or
the fund since Bishop Rowe's friends
started the collection three years
ago, described the inception and the
growth of the idea. -
More than- 1600 donations had been
received, he said, ranging from a
$5000 gift by a wealthy Philadelphia
woman to a $2 donation by an in
mate of an old people's home. The
fund was $71,000 at 6 o'clock last
night, but just before Mr. Baker
started for the auditorium an un
identified person called him on the
telephone, asked it if were too late
for further donations and, when- told
it was not, sent in a check for an
additional $500.
Mr. Baker, after his address,
handed a cashier's certified check
for $71,000 and the additional check
for $500 to Right Rev. William F.
Nichols, who, after a stirring ad
dress, in which he praised Bishop
Rowe for the latter's work In the
north, formally handed the Alaskan
prelate the checks.
Bishop Rowe, deeply touched,
made a fitting reply, thanking his
friends in particular and the church
In general for its liberality.
"I remember times,- when, the
trails were loneljj and the outlook
dark, that, had it not been for the
people of the church, I would have
failed.
"Realizing that it will not be long
until the leadership of God's church
In the north must pass to other
hands, I shall deposit this fund with
the board of missions for the pur
pose of continuing the church's
work in Alaska."
A series of addresses by mission
ary bishops preceded the formal pre
sentation of the fund. Bishop Lu-
cien Lee Kinsolving of Brazil gave
an interesting 15-minute address on
the condition of the church in that
country and the Right Rev. G. F.
Mosher, bishop of the Philippines,
spoke on his work in the orient.
i-shop Clinton S. Quin of Texas
outlined the progress, of the church
in the southwest.
About 2500 persons- attended the
meeting, at which Bishop Joseph M.
Francis of Indianapolis presided.

WASHINGTON; D. C. Sept. 14
A second agreement on the admin
istration tariff bill was reached to
night by the republican " conferees,
and it was the hope of majority
leaders in the house and senate to
have the measure ready for Presi
dent Harding by the end of this
week' or early next week.
In accord with the 'expressed di
rection of the house, the conferees
eliminated the dye embargo li
censing provision, which they pre
viously had reinstated into the bill,
and the 1 cents a pound duty on
potash. In lieu of the embargo they
increased the rates proposed i on
dyes and synthetic chemicals and
medicines, the products of coal tar.
For the first two years the duties
would be 7 cents a pound and 60
per cent on the tinisnea products,
while after two years they would
be 7 cents a pound and 40 per cent
on the intermediates ana i cents a
pound and 45 per cent on the fin
ished products.
In all cases the ad valorem would
be based on American valuation-
that is, the wholesale selling price
in the American markets.
The duties formerly agreed upon
by the conferees were 7 cents i
pound and 50 per cent on inter
mediates and 7 cents a pound and
60 per cent on the finished product,
with the ad valorems based on for
eign valuation. The senate duties
were 10 cents a pound and 75 per
cent in the one case and 10 cents
a Dound "and 90 per cent in the
other case, while the house duties
were 7 cents a pound and 30 per
cent in the one case and 7 cents a
pound and 45 per cent in the other.
Under ' both house and senate bills
the ad valorems were on American
valuation.
The conferees were in session for
more than three hours, with the dye
duties as the stumbling block. It
was understood that Representative
Longworth, Ohio, urged high rates,
while Senator Smoot, Utah, opposed
increases. It was explained that in
reaching the compromise the con
ferees returned to the American
valuation principle because the
house and senate bills were on that
basis.
