3Z THE SUNDAY OKEGONIAN, POKTLAXD, APRIL 21, 1907. THINK WHAT IT MEANS I mum maris I Extract from the Evening Telegram, April 17. 1907. - DRAW OPEN THREE HOURS EVERY DAY More Than That Time Lost to Traffic Crossing Willam ette by Steel Bridge. . With the enormous Increase of traffic on the river In front of the city the open in? of the various bridge draws continue more frequently, and this is especially noticeable In ease of the steel bridge, which, according to offi cials, now opens 5) times a day to let vessels pass. The average time taken for openl.ig and closing this bridge is four minutes, and thus team, streetcar and pedestrian travel Is stopped for three hours and 20 minutes every day. Tne steel bridge opens oftener than either of the others, because the heav iest river traffic connects with down river points. Further, this bridge hav ing a double deck, the draw, to use a gateman's expression, has to open for 'every little dinky" that navigates the harbor. "Four minutes seems like half an hour to most of the pedestrians who nre detained by the draw, and I have known men to cuss at the delay of five minutes and then meet some ac quaintances cn the bridge shortly after and stop and talk with him for half an hour. "Time never seems so precious to the ordinary pedestrian as when the draw is about to open. Men and women will take all sorts of chances of accident In rushing for the draw as it is about to move. "Were we not to close the iratfs directly In their faces many would not stop short of a bath In the waters beneath the bridge. We offend these people by closing the gates, but we have to. in order to keep them from being drowned." ONE HUNDRED I'Tt been waiting .upper for half an hour, I can't help it blanket? blank, blank . the draw waa open Yon are late to work this morning. I couldn't help It, the draw waa open. Well, you bad better start an hour earlier hereafter to be sure to arrive on time. I.ate to work. I. ate to supper. Late to the theater. . Late to church. Always late. Whyt If one draw is open three hours each day, four draws are open twelve hours each day. The average number of persons delayed on each bridge is 100, or 400 for the four bridges. In these prosperous times anyone's time is worth J2.D0 per day, or 25o per hour. Twelve hours' time for 400 people means a lot of cursing and $1200 In cash, enough to buy almost any residence lot on the East Side. Why exhaust your patience and loose your religion on account of this continual, never ending, get - worse - every - day annoyance? when you can buy a beautiful lot on Port land Heights from $600 to $2500, and on terms if you want them.

Main 2159 GIRL FOLLOWED BY NEGRO MISS ED7TA HATTZ HAS HER TOR MENTOR ARRESTED. G. L. Joell, Prominent Local Colored Man, Admits the Charge, but "Meant No Ilarm." Driven to desperation and terror be cause G. L. Joell, colored. Insulted her yesterday afternoon. Miss Edna Hauz, who lives at 1810 Tlndell street, rushed frantically up to Crossing Officer Nel son at Third and Morrison and begged him to protect her. Crossing Officer Nelson, after hearing but a brief part of her strange story, arrested the ne gro. Joell admitted following Miss Hauz, but declared his actions were justi fied, and assumed an indignant atti tude toward the police for arresting him. Clerk Frank D. Hennessy, of the Municipal Court, asked Miss Hauz if she wished a complaint for her al leged tormentor, and she replied that she wished him arrested. She swore to a complaint charging his with disor derly conduct by following her and by making an unwarranted proposal to her. Joell was released upon depositing bail In the sum of $25. and his case will be called in the Municipal Court tomorrow morning. He Is connected with the Portland Advocate, a colored publication, and is prominent among his people. He denied that he had any evil designs in wishing to see the young woman, and declared he wished to talk over a matter of "moral re form" with her when he asked her to meet him at some place "In 30 min utes." Miss Hauz was extremely irritated over the episode, and was terror-stricken. She apparently feared violence at the hands of the negro, and reluctant ly left the station-house. She is em ployed at a popcorn and confectionery stand on Third street. OPPOSE THE REFERENDUM Milwaukle Grangers Favor State rnivcrsity Appropriation. A symposium was held yesterday afternoon by ttra Milwaukle Orange, Patrons of Husbandry, to ascertain what the members thought of the pro posed referendum on the University of Oregon $126,000 appropriation. Mrs. Mary Getchell, lecturer, required an expression from everyone in the hall for or against the referendum. Mrs. J. A- Casto. master, spoke against the referendum for the reason, ,ehe de clared, the Grange stands for edu cation. George H. Hlmes also spoke against the referendum, and said that Oregon had not "been progressive In educational matters, having been distanced by 'Washington, California and even Idaho. T. R. A. Sellwood was the only one of about 25 who favored the refer endum. He said that too much money was being expended In the higher educational institutions and not enough for primary schools. Practically the entire membership went on record against the referendum on the uni versity appropriation. Oeorge H. Himes, secretary of the Oregon Historical Society, delivered n address on the early history of Mil waukle. He closed by presenting Mil waukle Grange with a copy of the Western Star, framed and stamped with the seal of the Oregon Historical Poclety. dated February 27, 1850. He also presented the Grange with a gavel made from nine different woods, every piece of which carried historical significance. Mr. Hlmes was heartily thanked for his address and his gifts. It was decided to arrange for frequent historical meetings. Seeks News of Fred New. OAKLAND, Cal., April 16. (To the Editor.)

MANILA HUTS ARE BURNED FERE SWEEPS OVER 100 ACRES OF ISLAND CITY. which face the bay. Nearly all the native houses In the fire-swept district are Nlpa huts of comparatively small value. Damage Is $00,000. In Gold Na tives Find Refuge in Schools and Plazas. MANILA. April 20. Fire destroyed 1100 nlpa houses in the districts of Slnga long, Paco and Bambang In Manila this afternoon. The new American settlements at Ermlta and Malate escaped through the hard work of the firemen assisted by soldiers and citizens. The flames, fanned by a heavy gale, swept an area of 100 acres clean, within two hours and de stroyed the homes of 100 residents and 1000 natives. The native refugees are now sheltered In the schools and other public buildings while many are camping in open spaces. The damage is conservative ly estimated at $200,000 In gold. No casual ties, are reported. The officials of the Health Department do not agree with the estimate of the damage given above, which waa made by the police and firemen. They assert that 269 houses were destroyed and 1600 natives rendered homeless. Their estimates of the financial loss are the same as that of the municipal department. It is thought that the figures given by the health officers are nearer correct. The Districts of Slngalong, Paco and Bambang lie to the east of the walled City of Manila and just behind the resi dential districts of Malate and Ermita, VETERAN EUGENE MINISTER RESIGNS AT AGE OF 85 EUGENE, Or., April 80. (Spe cial.) Rev. D. E. Lfoverldge, who has Just handed in his resigna tion as rector of St. Mary's Epis ' copal Church of this city, to take effect as soon as his successor can be chosen, will soon be 85 years old. He has served as rector of the church here for the past 18 years. He states that the growing needs of his parish re quire the work of a younger, man. But the parish will be for tunate if it secures in a younger man one of equal energy and ability to the resigning rector. Dr. Loveridge, the minister. Is known to all the older settlers of Eugene and hundreds of stu dents who have passed through college have heard him in St. Mary's pulpit. But to many he Is known apart from his work as a churchman, either as a stu dent, a mechanic or a farmer. Dr. Loveridge until . a short time ago found time to read the old Greek and Latin classics in the original with more fluency Rev. D. K. Loveridare. than most professors of the lan guages could do. He reads his Bible now in the original, and his sci entific as well as classical learning has been an inspiration as well as a marvel to many a busy student. His borne shows the marks of a craftsman of unusual skill, nearly all his furniture being made by himself and most of it hand-carved in original and difficult designs, during his "spare time." St. Mary's Church, in its pillars, beams and furniture, shows a great deal of his work. And during these years as rector, scholar and craftsman, he has maintained the most successful vineyard, and small fruit farm to be found in this section of the state and the pruning of his vines and trees he has never entrusted to other hand?. , He will likely spend most of his time in the future on his farm, supplying the pulpit hers whenever needed, and doing the many things and deeds that would be too much for most younger men, but which are necessary to him.
