lO THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND. MARCH 20. 1910. BRIDGE RENT PLAN GIT! ADVANTAGE Lease of Upper Deck of Pro posed Steel Span Cheaper Than Building Viaduct. FRANCHISE ALLOWS TOLL liailrouil Authorized lo Atlnt One of Three Methods In Kxactingr Pay . " ment if. I'oriland Makes Floor Free tc 'Public. Should the city desire to make a free bridge out of the upper deck of the pro jected railroad, structure spanning the river, between Glisan and Oregon streets.1 it can do o at much lesys expense than if the municipality should build and own a viaduct there. Or. if the city should not desire toopen the upper floor of the bridge to free transit of the public, the railroad will then be authorized to collect tolls at rates fixed by the County Court. The franchise awarded by the Port of Portland last August to ths railroad for the river span requires the company to permit any other railroad to use the bridge and also to uso 9100 feet of the track approaches on ttie Bast Side and 1000 feet on the Wept Side, at rates- to be fixed in last resort by the Railroad Commission of Oregon. Three Methods ProptMed. Should the railroad enter into contract with the ciiy or the county for free use of the upper deck by the public, the rail road 1b authorized in the franchise to demand of the city or the county the following terms: First Payment to the railroad annually of 5 per cent interest of the cost of build ing the tipper deck addition to the bridge. (This cost will he between $450,000 and J.5O0.000 according to O. R. & X. authori ties). Second Payment to the railroad of actual .curt of operation and maintenance of the upper deck. Third Payment to the railroad annual ly of a sum for depreciation, which com pounded semi-annually at 4 per cent, at the end of 20 years will equal the cost of the bridge. ' These three charges' would not exceed 50.100 a year, from which a deduction of between $10,000 and $20,000 would be made for tolls-- that the etreetcar company would pay. The cost of the projected Broadway bridge will amount according to engineering authorities to between $2. 000,000 and $4,000,000 involving an interest ppyment by the city of close to $100,000 a year, in addition to cost of maintenance and operation and depreciation. The O. II. & X. CO. secured from the Port of Portland Commission 'last August a franchise for spanning the river and 1 he franchise was subsequently approved by authorities at Washington. The fran chise requires the company to begin work of construction within one year of the time the franchise was granted and to complete the bridge within twoyears. Toll Bridge Not Likely. According to its terms the company may enter into a contract with the city or with the county for public use of tle upper deck, but the payments demanded shall not exceed those specified in the foregoing. In case reither the county nor the city shall accede to the terms of the railroad, the company may charge tolls to be fixed by the County Court, but the tolls shall not be so low as to make a return to the company of less than 5 per cent interest on the investment, cost of operation and maintenance and the an nual sum specified in the foregoing for depreciation. However, inasmuch as the company could not compete witli the city's free bridges, it is ot believed tnat the company- would wit-h tp make the viaduct a toll bridge. Another provision of the franchise re quires the O. R. & X. to admit other companies to the use of the railroad deck and the railroad approaches thereto. The two articles relating to these points are: Article II. Ab a condition for the rigrht to construct aid briurr at the proposed location, the O. H. & . Co. shall, at its own cost and expense, construct an upper deck over the railroad bridge, and suitable approaches thereto, the west approach to commence near the northeast corner of Third and Glisan streets and the east approach to land at or near a point where Orcpon street and Adams street converse, in said City, of Port land, said upper deck to be for the purpose of travel by streetcars and waxuns, auto mobiles and vehicles of all kinds and pas sengers and pedestrians, but for said ad ditional expense involved in the construction of said upper deck and approaches and inaintenar.ee of the same, said railroad company shall, subject to the- provisions hereinafter stated, be entitled to charge tolls for the travel over said upper deck of said bridge by streetcars, all classes of ve hicle and passengers, or it may contract with the City of Portland or the County of Multnomah for furnlshintc said upper deck as a highway between said respective por tions of said City of Portland on opposite sides of said river, but said railway com pany shall not exact or receive, either from the city or county or from any sources or DON'T KNOW HOW To Select Food to .Rebuild On "To find that a lack of knowledge of how to properly feed oneself caused me to serve ten long- years as a mis erable dyspeptic, is rather humiliating. I was a sufferer for that length of time and had become a shadow of my natural self. l was taking medicine all the time and dieting the best I knew how. "One day I heard of Grape-Xuts food, in which the starch was pre digested by natural processes and that the food rebuilt the brain and nerve centers. I knew that if my nervous system could be made strong and per fect, I could digest food all right, so I started in on Grape-Xuts, with very little confidence, for I had been dis heartened for a long time. "To my surprise and delight.

Audience That Cireet Him in Morn ing; (irmvs Over-Enthusiastic In ' Appreciating- Speaker. "Noodles" l-'agan. after leaving the Grand Theater tonight, will jump di rectly to Chicago. The old-time news hoy lias spent a week with the paper peddlers of the Oriental Gateway, giving- them instruction in their business and the experiences of his own suc cessful life. Yesterday morning Noodles" enter tained all the boys who could be crowded into the Grand. Portland's high schools were largely represented in the audience both by teachers and pupils. "Noodles" had some trouble controlling the enthusiasm of his guests from newspaper row, who were bent on showing their appreciation of the various numbers on the programme. Mr. Fagan delivered a -lecture on thrift, bad habits and cleanliness. Dur ing the week he has pounded into the young newspaper merchants the idea of honest dealing. "No short change, no false and misleading cry, of fake stories to create a market for papers, no smoking and no drinking,-' are the things which Kagan insists shall be in the business education of every small merchant. Particularly dwelling on the respon silblity which a boy should assume to wards his home. "Noodles" touched the hearts of his hearers with a homely description of what "mother" has done lor every one of them. His idea of the treatment to be accorded the mother was to make her the best friend In the world to the boy, and to appreciate that friendship through little atten tions. He argued that a boy who was good to his mother could be depended upon to make a good citizen. A testimonial -which "Noodles" treas ures was presented him by Frank Rio ter, superintendent of the Portland High Schools. It reads as follows: "Sir. Noodles Fagan, while addressing our two high schools today, was lis tened to with the closest attention and with boundless enthusiasm. There Is that about the history and the person ality of the man that makes him inter esting to young people, while the ear nestness of purpose and correctness of view-point make one of his talks a real uplift."

Several Tons of Lit- orature Will Be (Tarried Ex- eursions Are to Be Run. : With every- prospect of attracting j unprecedented crowds, the O R. & X. I farming demonstration train will , leave the Union station at 11 o'clock tonight on its nine days', tour of East ern Washington. So strong is the interest in the ! movement that connecting lines not under 6. R. & N. jurisdiction are nam ing special rates and advertising spe cial trains to carry farmers to tne points were demonstrations will be given. This assistance to the move ment is being given by the Sumpter Valley Railroad, the Central Railroad of Oregon, the Great Southern and the Mount Hood Railroad. More than 15.000 itineraries have been distributed throughout the terri tory that will be visited. Included with this 15,000 were more than 10,000 let ters containing special invitations and which were mailed to farmers in the Kastcrn portion of the state. In addi tion Vwo representatives of the rail road have been kept on the road for more than two weeks distributing itin eraries and advertising the train. In this they have been assisted by all passenger conductors and station agents and by the commercial organi zations in the towns comprising the itinerary. Over Ton of Bulletins. The train, in addition to the demon stration paraphernalia, livestock and experts, is to carry a considerable ton nage of literature. There will be more than a ton of bulletins which have been prepared by the Oregon Agricul tural College and which will be given out to all visitors at the demonstrar tions. These bulletins will describe the methods and character of farm -work advocated on the train and will con stitute a memorandum for the farmers to carry home with them and study.. All who receive free samples of seed will also receive printed instructions for growing. The seed includes dry farmed alfalfa, Minnesota corn and Canadian field peas. A special set of Instruction goes with each variety of seed. Carrying out the advice of the col lege experts that farmers have tests made of the seed used on their lands, the railroad company has had all the seed that will be distributed tested by the agricultural college experts. For instance the test on the alfalfa showed it to be 9.35 per cent pure, a result that brought commendation from the college experts. In addition methods of home testing of germination qualities are to be illustrated on the train. Special Cars Arrive. The six cars which will carry the demonstrating features of the train have been arranged and equipped at the college and yesterday were brought to Portland by special train from Cor vallis. The train, in addition to. the demonstrating cars, will carry a slx-teen-section sleeper and a business car. The pernpns that will be carried by the train will probably number nearly 40. Every berth, lower and upper, in both the sleeper and business ca will be occupied. The names of several more college experts have been added to the personnel of the party since the printed itineraries were issued. The additions are G. R. Hyslop, Orlen Beatty and R. M. Morgan, of Corvallis, and Robert Withycombe of the experi ment station -at Union. The other ex perts from the college include Dr. James Withycombe. director of the Oregon Ex periment Station; H. D. Scudder, agro nomist; F. L. Kent, dairy husbandman; James Dryden, A. G. Lunn, R. AV. Rees and R. J. Dryden, poultry husbandmen; E..H. Splllman, assistant horticulturist, A. 1-t Applewhite. foreman. Corvallis; H. L'mberger. superintendent Moro experi ment station; R. W. Allen, superintendent Umatilla experiment station. Kallroad .Men to Go. Among the railroad representatives who expect to be on the train are: It. B. Miller, traffic manager; F. W. Robinson, assistant general freight agent; G. La. Anderson, secretary to Mr. Miller; W. W. Bollonsj. superintendent; F. R. Dunn, traveling freight agent, Portland; C F. Vande water, traveling freight agent. Walla Walla, and A. A. Morse in charge of train. Other members of the party will include D. O. LJvely, of the Union Stockyards Company, several newspaper men; G. M. Weister, photographer; D. 3. White, electrician and a train crew that will remain throughout the trip. Several minor changes have been made in the itinerary. In response to requests from the commercial organization and numerous residents of Mosier It has been decided to include that place In the stops on the last day. The demonstration hours, on March 20 have been changed accordingly to the following: The Dalles. 9 A. M. to 11:30 A. M.; Mosier. 1 P. M. to 2:30 P. M.; Hood River, 2:45 P. M. to 4:4o P. M. On March 23, the demonstra tion heretofore advertised for Union Junc tion will be givn at the town of Union, from 8:30 A. M. to 10:10 A. The list of dry farming utensils and machinery that will be carried for dem onstration purposes was given out yes terday by the company as follows: Apparatus oh Train. One double disk drill with grass seed box and press wheel attachment; one sub-surface packer, one knife cultivator, one sulkey plow, with Dunham roller at tachment; one Acme harrow and harrow cart, one alfalfa harrow, with truck; one subsoil plow, one double cutaway disk, with tongue truck; one mounted weeder, one smut clear cleaner, one milking ma chine, one gas engine and dynamo. The engine and dynamo will supply electric lights for the train. Heretofore in demonstration drains there has been considerable congestion of people due to the fact that the entrances and exits were at the ends, making it neces sary to step from one car to the other. For this trip portable wooden step?., have been made and will be usjd at the 'side doors of the baggage-cars so that per sons interested in the demonstration in one car and not in another need not in terfere with other visitors in reaching the demostration in which they are interested.

CITIZENSHIP IS DENIED XOT KXOWIXG WHO BOURNE IS DISQUALIFIES APPLICANT. Statement Number One Also Mys tery, so Judge Morrow Gives Him Month for Study. Although he was" able to explain how the Nation's laws are made, and to define the difference between a republic and, the forni of government of his native coun try, Denmark, Peter Andresen. a doctor, living at 966 East Twenty-first street North, declared yesterday that he had never before heard of Jonathan Bourne, and that he was Ignorant concerning the -meaning, in local political affairs, of Statement No. 1. Citizenship papers Were refused to him until he should learn more of the things concerning which he was ignorant. The applicant had just explained that each state was entitled to two United Statea Senators, when he was asked: "Who are the two United States Sena tors from Oregon?" "Mr. Chamberlain is one, and the other is " t But here the answer was concluded by the acknowledgement that the doctor was ignorant who the other Senator Is. Then Judge Morrow personally took up the line of questioning by saying: "Do you know who George Baker Is?" "No," was the reply. "Are there any Councilmen elected from the East Side?" "I suppose there are, but I don't know their names." was the explanation. "Now," said Judge Morrow, walking up close to the chair in which the applicant sat, "I want to know If you know who Jonathan Bourne is?" "I don't know." "Did you ever hear of him?" "No." was the prompt reply. "Do you know what is meant by State ment No. 1?" The applicant shook his head, and after some further questioning he was informed that another examination would be given a month hence. Andresen said that he was born in 1872 and that he had lived here since 1901. He produced two witnesses to prove that he had lived in Portland since 1903. '-Infallibly" and "Invariably."
