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.

"Colonels" Grcutly Excited as to
Whether "Nigger" Will Continue

World or White Man.
MEMPHIS. Tenn.. Iec. IS. (Special.)
It's all news to James J. Jeffries that
Oirbett, McCoy,- Sharkey, Kyan. Arm
wrong, etc. will train him for his bout
with Jack Johnson.
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.

Grand Duke Michael Nicholaivietch
Was Distinguished Figure
in Russia.
CANNES. 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

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.

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

was won by a schoolboy with "Under- 1
ground to anywhere. quickest way,
cheapest fare.' 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.
