The major part of tha property represented In the petition li owned by tha Esther Sharer estate, which was reoresented at tha meeting by A. 8. Ilrtnta. The construction cf such an approach would cost. Ralph Uocjeskl. the etigl Tieer. estimated, at least T.iontK. Retain 'ln walls would have to be built for ") feet.

Mr. Modjesk! reported that bo had proceeded with the drawing of auper structural plans, without waiting for the official authority from the commit tee, saying It was of utmost Impor tance to have them ready for aubtnls sion aa toon aa possible after.aoch au thority was granted. Steel la now much lower than It will be next Spring and If the plana can" be submitted promptly It will be possible for the city to take advantage of this, and adver tise for bids on the steel In time to profit by those conditions. It will be fully six months after the contract haa been awarded before tha steel can be delivered, reaching i-era at about the proper time when work should begin on the superstructure. Competitive- It Ids Asked. In Ms plant thus far. Mr. Modjeskl has confined himself to the Strauss type of bascule draw. A bascule la de manded, according to the terms of Ms contract with the city, but the require ments do not necessarily restrict him to the Strauss type. He said he would throw the case open for competition by manufacturers of all types of bascule draws, aa imh as the city haa passed on his designs. The structure of the bridge Is suctt that any of these types mar be employed. The plan of the substructure make It impossible for the car tracks to be laid otherwise than In the center of the bridge, although several members of the committee pronounced themselves In favor of an arrangement similar to that on the Hawthorne bridge. The tracks wilt be laid for both broad and narrow gauge. Among minor subjects that came up was the plan to build a stairway from the west approach to the t'nlon Fta tlnn. The city is t. provide trolley p.us and electric lights on the bridge and the draw Is to be operated by electricity. An opinion of City Attorney Orant. read at the beginning of the meeting, set forth that the Executive Board has full power to construct and regulate the Ilroadway bridge, subject only to the Federal Government, which has con trol ever navigable streams. Regula tion of streetcar traffic and compensa tion for streetcar franchisee can be ! fixed cn.'r br tha City Council. STREAMS ALLURE ANGLERS Multnomah Connty Issues Total of 62 0 9 fishing Licences.

That origin ating east of the tunnel will come to Portland. Tha grade, excepting for a hort distance west of tha Cornelius Gap tunnel. Is descending. No heavy loads will have to be hauled up hill.

A Well-Balanced Bill. One Is struck when examining tha Pacific Monthly magaslne for next month with th cover, which la a rep resentation of an Indian, from a paint ing by J. II. Sharp, the well-known In dian painter. Th picture I so true to life that, although no printed word Is seen. "Indian" Is written In color all over It. "Th Taal Eruption." writ ten by Martin Woolley. la an Interest- ing account of the catastrophe which recently destroyed 2000 persona In the Philippines, and Margaret V. Sherlock's article on "The Rceall of Mayor GUI" gives lurid pictures of Seat tle politics. H. Twltchell's "The Land of Divorce" tells strange facta about family life In Japan and the reader. who haa probably lived long on Japan worship, will wonder when told that fully one-third of Japanese marriages among the poorer classes end In dl vorce. "The Pioneer Reminiscences of George Collier Robblns" largely deal with tha discovery of gold, and after, In Idaho, and will be concluded next month, while In the fiction humor de part men t. Morris B. Wells, In "In the Dark of tha Night." scores heavily with phonograph accompaniment. Dr. S. S. Wise's article on "Race Culture Versus Race Sulcldo" is a vigorous, well-written plea for eugenics, or the selection and rearing "of human beings.' The whole magaslne bill Is a well-balanced one of excellence. BIRTHDAY IS CELEBRATED Mrs. Perry G. I taker's Friends Help Her Observe 7 6th Anniversary. Mrs. Perry G.

"Developments-in these cases have thoroughly convinced me of the scan dalous condition which surround th peddling of petitions for nominations, Initiative and referendum," said Justice Olson yesterday, in commenting from therbench upon the preliminary hearing of Joseph Gorham, accused of forging names to the petition to refer the ap proprlatlon for the university of Ore gon. . "There should be some burden of ac tlon upon the person, who takes hand in putting a measure, or the nam of a candidate upon the ballot, con tlnued the . Justice. "If he sincerely wishes to see the matter voted upon let him spend the necessary effort to Place his signature on the petition In the presence of ome officer author Ixed for the purpose.. He Is required to do so before he can vote and no one thlnka of suggesting that lrrespon slble persons should be allowed to reg Ister voters for a fee of S cent apiece, or any other sum. Change Is Favored. "I am in favor of amending the law so that all petition shall be filed at the office of the County Clerk, where they may be signed by all persons hav ing sufficient Interest in the measure or thecandldate to go to the court house. In that way we would avoid all the scandal that has arisen from time to time in these cases. I am a sincere supporter of our popular legislation system, but not of the abuses that have grown up around it. I have never allowed another to circulate a petition for me, nor have I ever signed a peti tion without being in favor of its onort rsj ant " Gorham. who recently lived in Arle- ta, but was captured in Astoria, asserts that forgeries on his petition came there while It was out of his hands. He refuses at this time to indicate the person who had custody of the petition in the Interim. He says he refused to take oath to the petition when asked to do so by H. J. Parklson, on tne ground that he could not certify' the names added to it wnue n was oui u. his possession. He signed the paper, and alleges that Parklson's Jurat as notary public waa affixed to it wun out his knowledge. Many Signatures Fraudulent.

SALMON WILL BE GUARDED Snnpr and Hacks in numiucuD Will Be Made, Is Plan. t determine the Question of proper sort of flshway at the Oregon City locks It has been decided by R. E. Clanton. Master Fish Warden of of the state, after consulting Fish wm loners Klnnev. Kelly and Cranston, Ki.t. F.rtirlneer Lewis. United States ni.ti-irt Klsh Warden O'Malley. State snnerintancient of Hatcheries W elsner and Fish Warden Trembath, to have the state Engineer make a complete survey of the whole situation and pre nare a. nlan for a rack system extend ing from Moore'a Island or Tail-race Channel to the mainland near tne sui rthit mill of the Willamette Paper & Pulp Company. The rack system Plan is ior tne pur- Dose of keeping salmon irora senilis up Into the tallraces and to guide them to the entrance of the fish ladder or ladders. The State Engineer Is also to Drenare a plan for another fish lad der to be so located that Its entrance will be at the most northerly point oi Moore's Island, near the outside or up stream end of the racking system. In the past lb has been contended that during the extreme low-water per iod of the year salmon coming to the Oregon City Falls do not go over the falls but head up into tne arm oi tne river following the tallraces at the Willamette Paper & Pulp Company plant. Here they are said to remain until worn out or taken by local fish ermen. All Interested in the fishing Industry, however, are not agreed on this point. Some contend that they will back out or go farther up the stream, where they will una tne pres ent entrsnce to the ladder, and that he few fish that remain Jn the tail- races are but stragglers. The new plans to be prepared will make ample provision for the accom modation of all the salmon that man age to reach the locks at Oregon City. t is contended that they are becoming fewer In number each year and there some wonder that there should be any salmon at the dam. for, once en tering the mouth of the Columbia River, the salmon haa to fight for its life all the distance down the Colum bia to the mouth of the Willamette and from the Willamette up to the locks. Along this distance there are seins and fish wells and traps and hooka of every conceivable form and device to catch the salmon on the way to the spawning ground. The under- tandlng is that the engineer will have his plans ready next beptember. FINE PIANO FREE. . Also )420u in other prizes.
