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."

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.

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.

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.

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.
