In the commercial worM It had ae-

Nature Aid- anil Ictcr.
OUIo has always been one of the
most attractive of the many scenic spots
a Ions; the Columbia, because of the
beautiful falls of Celilo and Tumwater.
which are Just below the village, and.
Indeed. If It were not for thee ob
s'rttcttons In the river there would b
eo need for the Government to expend
Eianv millions of money and manv
ears of labor In the construction of
he ranal. and Jamr? J. Mill. In build
ing his Orecn Trunk line to connect
with the North Bank road would find
It Impossible to bridge the river there
were It not for the facilities offered
for the placing of the piers and abut
ments on the boulders and Islands ob
structing the- river, for they will all
be placed on the solid rock underpin
ning of Nature.
To appreciate the beauty and grand
eur of the falls of Celtic they must he
seen. The whole width of the river
from the falls to the opposite bank l
broken by rapids. In fact, on down
until the dalles of the Columbia and
Pig Kddy are passed the river la so
broken and obstructed as to present
nothing but raptJs and whirlpools,
l:anls and rocks. The Incessant roar
of Celilo Kails partially drowns the
nie of blasting, the crushing rock
and the engines that are moving all the
machinery employed In the construction
worki. atxl. for an Instant, the vastnrss of
t-i-e undertaking hv msn is forgotten.
The Tumwsrer Ka'ls are distinct In
every way from the Falls of Celilo.
1 hev m several roils down the rler
from the big faila and are. seemingly. ,
water spilling out of an Immense basin
of rocks where nicks have been broken
In the rim.
Just below these fails Is seen the
wooden trestle falsework of the Ore
gon Trunk bridge with the tramways
and cars for the hauling of materials
for ntiltdlng the piers on this side. The
trestlework here Is only a few roils In
length, hut from the opposite bank It
extends nearly across on the rocks.
This bridge Is the terminal of the Ore
gon Trunk, and Porter Bros., who have
constructed the line up the Deschutes
River Into Central Oregon, and whose
offices the past year and a half have
been In The Ddlles. have the contract
for Its building. The contract for the
steel work of the bridge has been
awarded, but the names not made pub
lic. t.lxM of Indian Village Seen.
Seen from the south side, the op
posite bank of the river where the
bridge terminates and the tar paper
shacks used by tbe laborers are built,
ft.c shacks seem not eo very different
from the old, broken, weather-beaten
miwdfn shanties of the ancient Indian
village of Tumwater that occupies, the
site. There will be a slight curve In
the bridge to the east, as It crosses the
river, until solid ground on the south
side Is reached when the roadbed makes
a decided curve In to the foot of the
bluff, wf.lch brings the hills down to
the water's edge from here to the Ies
chutes River, the Mill road hugging
this bluff, while the O. It. i N. tracks
run nearer the river.
Tl:e bridge will he shout SuOO feet In
lengtlu thore will he 29 piers and three
abutments. It will be ,?1 feet above
low water of the Columbia and because
of the natural rock bases, on which the
piers are built, there will be no under
water work. The piers are being built
of concrete, the ends reinforced by nose
tones to resist the" action of Ice and
water. The longest span will he 3J0
feet over the channel of the river. The
second span, from the south approach.
Is where the O. R. & X. road passes un
der t He bridge. There will be a 250
foot drawbridge across the space where
the Government canal Is being built.
There will be six 230-foot spans and
17 102-foot spans of deck . girders, and
at the south end there will be three
spans with 73-foot derk girders. The
false .trestlework Is built out to the
channel of the river from the north
bank, and at the end a huge derrick
Is stationed which lifts the tramcars.
filled with the concrete mixture from
the track, swinging them around and
dumping into the wooden forms for the
piers. The south trestle Is very much
shorter, stopping before it reaches the
canal, but a huge derrick here Is per
forming the same service that It does
on the north side. Hundreds and
hundreds of tons of cement are being
used In the construction of the piers.
and rock crushers are at work all the
time preparing rock eor use In the
work. it la expected that the bridge
will be ready for use In a year and a
nair from now.
Portage Horn! May Be 1'crnianciit.
The State portage road, which has
been built to haul freight from the
I'pper Columbia to Big Kddy and Is
now being completed to The Dalles,
terminates at Inclines and a dock Just
above the station at CeMlo. on the
river's edee. ant' It is now rumored that
the Mill Interests plan to gain posnosslon
of this strip of rnadw.iy as nulckly R(
possible and thus get a tight of way
Into The Dalles. This might account
for the substantial manner In which
the road Is being built. For It will
be used for the hauling of river freight
only until the canal Is done, a-nd that
Is to be completed In the next five
ye.rs.
The canal is finished for more than
a half mile down the river, from
where It beslns Just above the Falls
of Celilo, and this part, which Is being
bulit by contract work Is being pushed
as rapidly as possible. The work at
Big Kddy and at a point between the
two terminals Is well under way. This
work means digging a channel wide
enough for steamboats o pass down
the river In the solid rock, or build
ing a channel from stone and concrete
for the eight and one-half miles re
quired to pass the falls and rocks In
the river to smooth water below. In
either-case It is an engineering feat
of no mean undertaking.

County Committeemen to Investigate
Report That Member Is X'flng
Name in Campaign.
The report that Roy Apperson, secre
tary of tho Republican County Central
Committee, has been soliciting funds
from business men to defeat Senator
Bourne for re-election to the I'nlted
States Senate two years hence and
tiulng the name cf the central commit
tee and his office to assist in collect
ing the funds, will be Investigated by
the committee at a special committee
this week. John F. IvOgan. 'chairman
of the committee, said yesterday t,hat
such conduct would not be tolerated
on the part of any officer or member
of the committee. Mr. Logan contln
ued :
The county central committee was
reorganized this Fall with the under
standing that no member or officer
should use the name of the commute
In the interests or against the Interests
of any candidate for office. Person
ally, I ant ns strongly opposed to Sen
ator Bourne as any man, but the cen
tral committee shall not be tiKeT to de
feat him. To help or Injure a candi
ilate for office Is not the purpose of
the central committee, and any attempt
to use the committee for such purpose
will not he tolerated. I propose to call
a meeting of the whole committee this
week and settle this matter. This cim
mittee Is elected for two years and the
law provides that committeemen who
reside within the limits of an incorpo
rated city shall act as the city central
committee. We have a municipal cam
paign coming on within a few months
and shall not allow any member' to
detract from the efficiency or purpose
of the committee by his personal de
sire to have a certain candidate elected
or defeated.
"The county central committee Is a
party affair, does not represent any one
candidate or set of candidates, nor shall
It be used for such purposes. We shall
settle this matter immediately and Jt
will be settled in such manner that no
one will again attempt to misuse the
county central committee."

CAR PATR(WS COMPLAIN
Portland-Vancouver Service Bad, Is
Allegation Made.
VANCOCVEK, Wash.. Nov. 26. (Spe
cial.) Vancouver people complain that
streetcar service between Vancouver
and Portland Is growing worse instead
of better. Conductors say there is too
much time lost In getting over the
drawbridges and through tho busi
ness streets of Portland; that there are
too many cars on Union avenue, and
Woodlawn passengers crowd Into Van
couver cars, forcing Vancouver passen
gers to stand until the Portland pas
sengers get off.
One conductor said that one way to
remedy this would be to collect the
full fare of 10 cents to the Oregon
ferry landing at the time the passen
ger entered the car. Instead of taking
up one fare on entering and another
on the trestle, after the city limits are
passed. This, in the opinion of the cur
company employe, would keep the
Woodlawn people out of Vancouver
cars. It now takes from one to three
hours to go fronr Vancouver to Port
land, or from Portland to Vancouver,
owing to the congestion of traffic.
Thru condition, it is argued, keeps
many people In each city from visit
Ing the other city. Only those who are
forced to make the trip do so. and then
much against their will. The usual
time It should take to go from one city
to the other is 40 minutes.
Mayor Kigglns and . B. Stoner and
W. B. Tu Bois. Councllinen. appointed
by the Vancouver City Council to pro
test to the Portland Railway. Light &
Power Company, went to Portland to
day, and sad a conference with Mr.
Cooper, traffic manager, who promised
some relief. According to the commit
tee, the company promised to put on a
no-stop Woodlawn car. to run Just
ahead of the Vancouver car. until
Woodlawn station is reached. In ad
dition to the Woodlawn extra, a St.
Johns and a Union avenue tripper are
promised to relieve the congestion of
the Vancouver car.
After the Broadway bridge Is com
pleted, the streetcar company says,
conditions will be relieved on Burnside
street, and cars may be able to make
ao-tniniite runs, but Vancouver people
do not desire to wait until that future
date to secure relief.
The train crews are not to blame
and do what they can to make travel
ing pleasant, but this does not help
much when It comes to crowding 100
people into one car with seats 'for 50
or less, and to taking two hours to
make a 40-mlnute run. If a person in
Vancouver desires to go to the show
In Portland in the evening, he must
necessarily start at 6:10 In the evening
to reach the theater on time.
It has been suggested that the Van
couver-Portland terminal be made at
Union avenue and Burnside street, and
then cars could make trips every 30
minutes, but passengers would have to
transfer over the bridge on Burnside
street. But even this would be prefer
able to taking such a long time to
make the trip a It now requires.
Switches are now In. and the Van
couver car could run Into the city on
Union avenue, turn east on Molladay.
down Grand to Burnside. and down
Burnside to Union avenue and out on
that thoroughfare, transferring pas
sengers on any car going over the
Burnside bridge, at Burnside and I nlon
avenue.
