INTEREST GREAT IN SOUTH Iation by emigration, promises to make up the Iobs in part by births from par ents of that class ot immigrants. The departures of Japanese in the fiscal year far exceeded the arrivals. Among immigrants from that country, however, in the last few years, the percentage of women has increased. The decrease in Chinese due to departure and non-arrivals is largely offset by births and by the arrivals of Chinese children desir ing to attend school. These facts are shown in the annual report of Governor W. F. Frear, made public today. The condition of the laborers is rather enviable, Judging by the statement made by the Governor. For some years, he says, there has Been a growing Sis position, even among the sugar plant ers, not only to improve conditions, but to aid those who would be citizens and home-owners. A large proportion of the laborers receive considerably more than the minimum wages paid to an adult male for ordinary work, such minimum being S18 per month besides house and lot, fuel, medical attendance anil water. 'SUBWAY EXPERT TALKS ENGINEER DISCVSSES ODER. TSIVEK Tl'BES IN ENGLAND. "Colonels" Grcutly Excited as to Whether "Nigger" Will Continue to Be Kingpin in Prigrillstc World or White Man. MEMPHIS.

The big boxer arrived here in the midst of a mow Btorm this afternoon, hurried to a Turkish bath for a two hours' stay, was given a vigorous rub from two stal wart attendants, and then proceeded to strip for his sparring exhibition with Berger before several thousand South erners. These seem intensely Interested as to whether a "nigger or a white man will continue as the king-bee of the pugilltic world. "It is very kind of all the old boys to offer their services." said Jeffries, "but I think that my advisers will decide against too many being at the camp. I will need several . big men to rough it with and several speedy boxers with enough size and science to box with. But as yet no selections have been made." Jeffries has about decided to Bpend a month or so at Corbett's old training ramp, In the heart of the Sierras. It was there that Jeffries sacrlfied himself as a human punching bag for Corbett when "Gentleman Jim" was training for Fltzsimmons at "Carson City. After his sojourn in the mountains Jeffries said he would go to a place nearer to the scene of battle for final training. WARLIKE DUKE IS DEAD CNCLE OF EMPEROR NICHOLAS ENDS HIS CAREER.

France, Deo. IS. Grand Duke Michael Nicholaivietch, grand uncle of Emperor Nicholas, died here today. Grand Duke Michael Nicholaivietch was the oldest representative of the Imperial ' House, born in 1832, the fourth son of 1 Emperor Nicholas I. He repeatedly dis tinguished himself in his long military career, which began at the ae of 14. At 20 he had attained the rank of Gen eral. Grand Duke Michael fought throughout the Crimean War of 1SS4 and 1SS5, was present at the battle of Inkerman and the siege of Sevastopol, and In 1S63 was appointed Viceroy of the Caucasus and Commander-in-Chief of the Caucasian army, with Instructions to bring the war like, unsubdued tribes of this region un der the Russian aegis. This task he ac complished. In the Turkish war of 1S77-7S, the Grand Duke commanded the Russian army oper ating against the Turks in the Caucasian theater of the war and in spite of early reverses was finally able to force the surrender of a large part of the Turkish forces at Ardahan and Kara. In civil lines he was a member of the commission which arranged the emancipation of the serfs. In 1SS1 Grand Duke Michael became president of the Council of State and played an active role In Its deliberations, until its reorganisation in connection with the establishment of the Duma, when he was made its honorary president. AMERICA WILL BE ARBITER French Statesman Says We Must In tervene in. Nation's Quarrels. PARIS, Dec 18. Ex -Minister of Foreign Affairs Gabriel Hanotaux. In an article appealing for public support of the recently-organized Franco-American com mittee designed to improve economic and social relations of the two countries, of which he .is president, predicts that the United States is destined to intervene in the quarrels of the great nations of Europe. M. Hanotaux says: "Every clairvoyant European statesman now foresees the probability of American imperialistic action. It is the constant pre-occupation of Emperor William." The ex-Mlnister argues that France's position in Europe is analogous to that of America, and that It 19 virtually neces sary that no possibility of a misunder standing should arise in the future, re calling that during his own ministry at the time of the Spanish-American War France wati driven almost to a rupture over an insignificant blockade incident. The writer thinks from a material stand point the French foreign Investor must look toward America for the richest re turns of the future.

Idaho X.lgilt aaow- Kavors Two Subterranean Tralfic Ways Across Willamette at Port land Bridges Out of Date. PORTLAND, Dec. IS.- (To the Ed itor.) For several years past I havo been somewhat Interested in the dis cussions arising: at various intervals in tho columns of the' local newspapers in regard to the congestion of the cross-the-river tcaff le, and the obviation of the same. Beintr an engineer myself, I have been far more deeply interested in solving the same problem, from an engineer's point of view, a problem which presses for solution more and more as time passes and the city in creases its population more rapidly every year. City fathers, if wise, look well ahead to tho future, and never was a case where grood sound business sense is more need than it is right now here in Portland on this same bridge-subway proposition, to prevent the needless squandering of immense sums of the taxpayers' money and the ruin and de struction of a naturally fine harbor. A fine object lesson can at the present time be seen if any interested person will Just take a walk across Morrison street bridge while the Madison-street bridge is out of the way. Looking up the river he will see a fine, spacious harbor that any city could be proud of, but looking down the river he "will see a fine harbor cluttered up and spoiled with bridges. Filling up the harbor with bridges will inevitably result in driving the shipping further down the river below the same, and if this is the object inJ tended, nothing will do it quicker. Portland can't have the two very welL One or the other must take precedence, and if it clings to the theory of ade quately bridging the river to accommo. date the ever-increasing traffic over the same, the shipping; is bound to go. Fortunately, thanks to modern engi neering science, there is a middle-course open, whereby the shipping can be re tained and the traffic get to the other side without let or hindrance any time of the day or night, and that is by a system of modern, up-to-date subways or "tubes" as they are called. I mean subways intelligently located with due regard to the real needs of the traffic, and not for the pecuniary benefit of a group of individuals who happen to own property in some particular locality property which they wish to enhance the value of at the expense of the gen eral public by having the outlet to the tube in the immediate vicinity of their holdings. Some two years ago I explained fully my views in The Oregonian. Since then I have traveled extensively, and wherever I have found a "tube" or a subway in actual operation, I have never missed the opportunity, if at all possible, of thoroughly examining the same, and always with a view of its adaptability to the conditions as here presented in Portland. I have Just re turned from Europe, where I have been for over a year, most of the time in London, the city above all others where much valuable information of this kind can be gained, owing to its somewhat similar location, astride of a river about the same size as the Willamette, equi distant from the sea, with a somewhat bhallow and tortuous channel interven ing, and where, notwithstanding this handicap, the second largest seaport of the world has been built. Of course in wealth and population this city does not equal London, not yet, but it surely needs no prophetic eye. to see that some day a mighty city will Be located here. With some of us it may be a case then of "their bones are dust, their good pens rust, their souls are with the Lord, we trust," but many here, now will see it. ' The London County Council, under authority of Parliament, has con structed several tubes under the Thames River, where the traffic was greatest. These tubes are in active operation every day in the year, the Blackwall, Rotherhithe and the Green wich Subways, so named according to location. The first two are wide enough for vehicles to readily pass each other, with ample sidewalks for foot passengers. The Rotherhithe tube is 6887 feet in length. The one at Greenwich is for foot passengers only, is about 12 feet in diameter, inside measurement, and about one quarter of a mile long, with elevators at each end, 60 feet deep at one end and 76 feet at the other. All are heavily patronized, particularly morn ings and evenings; are clean, drv, airy and well ventilated, lined with white porcelain-faced brick, and bril liantly illuminated with electric lights every 20 feet of their entire length. In addition to these, there are also a nunrber of tubes under the river, built by the various underground rail road companies for passenger trafflc only, in connection with their system of tube railways, whose ramifications extend for miles upon miles in every direction under this vast city, the Babylon of the modern world. As I write I have in front of me a com plete map of the underground railroad system of London, consisting of nine different companies, of which six are tubes and three are subways proper, operating miles upon miies, aye, scores of miles of trackage, but all working harmoniously together and honoring the one ticket. When these companies were amalgamated they offered a prize to anyone who suggested the best business motto for their use. This Land Hungry and Angry. PORTLAND. Dec. 18. (To the Editor.)

One sees this motto on all their advertising matter, and it accurately describes their system, for here is practically the streetcar system of an immense city all under- j ground. It is simply wonderful, and a marvel of what modern engineering science is capable of accomplishing. The tit 3 of London was forced to adopt this systeriV because of the narrow, tor tuous streets not being adapted for surface tramways. The volume of traffic may readily be Inferred from the fact that one alone of these un- 1 derground roads carries over 66,000,- , 000 passengers a year, and another j one, on .which I was almost & dally : traveler, runs 44 trains an hour, con- ! sisting of a number of cars .to every train. The cars are built on the plan of the New York Elevated and are . operated by electricity, the third rail system being used. The. stations .on this particular company's line range in depth from 60 feet to over 300 feet below the surface, to which they are connected by a group of huge ele vators and staircases for emergencies. The fares range from 2 to 6 cents, ac cording to distance traveled. All are connected at various traffic centers by short auxiliary tubes, so that pat rons do not have to come out on the surface to connect. The whole system is clean, dry and. with one exception, well ventilated, with no sign; Winter or Summer, - of any seepage or leakage of water into them anywhere. The one exception could be improved in the matter of ventilation somewhat,' but this was the first one built, and the others were of course improved. Numbers of other towns also have these subways. The Mersey tunnel, between Liverpool and Birkenhead, operated by a private corporation for revenue, was opened to the public January 20. 188S, and I have in my possession a copy of the balance sheet Issued for the half year ending - December SI, 1908, which shows amongst other items that during the half year 5, 1 20,8 1 7 passengers were car ried. This tunnel is 1770 yards in length from shaft to shaft, with elevators at each end to reach the surface,- similar to the ones at Glasgow, with a car sys tem to carry the people. This tunnel is in the shape of a horseshoe, 19 feet in height from surface of trackrail to crown of arch, and 26 feet in width. I mention the foregoing simply to show that sub ways and tubes are not the failures that interested parties would have the people believe. I am very much interested, in the re port of a bridge expert, published in last Thursday's Oregonian. Now, a bridge expert engaged to report on a subway or tube scheme Is in. a somewhat similar position to the judge mentioned In Mr. Henry's letter, "who would take the case under adv'isement and decide for the plaintiff next Monday," only more so. In addition to never having had any practi cal experience in the building of tubes and subways, only what they can crib from the textbooks, such people are with out exception, greatly prejudiced against the same, because they are so rapidly supplanting their beloved bridges. No one with any business acumen would think for a moment of engaging a coal mining engineer to examine and prepare a report on a hard rock gold or copper mine prospect Tet the difference be tween coal and copper mining is not nearly so great as between" building an overhead bridge and a subway under a river. The wisest course in this in stance, where such a large sum of money is Involved, would have been to have engaged a bridge expert to get up plans and specifications for a bridge, and a subway expert do the same for a tube or subway. Then a committee of shrewd business men should be appointed to go over both and decide which one to adopt. The only really tenable objection to a subway is the cost at the present time. All other objections fade away rapidly before the science of modern subway en gineers. At the present time subways are really easier to build, than are bridges. The main objection raised, that owing to the great depth' of the channel the openings would have to be so far up town that it would greatly lengthen and enhance the cost of the tubes, is, once subways are built and paid for. one of the greatest points in favor of the same. In addition to easing the grade, it would relieve the downtown streets al ready getting too small to accommodate the traffic, of all the cross-river busi ness, thus relieving to a very large extent the congestion on these same downtown streets, which is sure, to follow the pres ent rapid growth of the city. Personally, I am of the opinion that at present no more bridges across the Wil lamette River at Portland should be Built. Instead of bridges, two subways should be constructed, one by the street railroad company, at its own 'expense and for its own use entirely; the other for vehicles and foot passengers, the cost of this one to be raised by a bond issue guaranteed by the city, on comple tion of the same. If the city still feels too poor to pay for this subway, let a small toll be charged until the same is paid for. Then throw It open free to the public, as was done with the first sus pension bridge built between New York and Brooklyn. I crossed this bridge many times when I was charged -3 cents to ride over it and 1 cent for the privilege of walking over the same. Meanwhile, a good deal of the unpleas ant delay, caused by the open draws could be obviated if the smaller river craft would use a hinged smokestack, a simple contrivance and one easy of manipulation. The Blow towing of craft should be prohibited during the day, or at least during the rush of the morn ing and evening traffic. WILLIAM BAILEY." PORTLAND, OREGON, SATURDAY, pgfc ft.
