total length of the span is 297 feet and
the width 70 feet.

When the SDan is down there is a
clearance of 93 feet in low water and
SS feet at high water. This eliminates
the necessity of raising the span ex

While Number ol People Arriving
From East Shows Xo Increase,
Percentage of Settlers Greater.
With the arrival of the late trains
last night from the East the influx of
colonists as a result of this seasons
reduced one-way rates came to an end.
In many respects it can be consid
ered one of the most successful . col
onist seasons in the history of Oregon
not in point of numbers, but in the
class of homeseekers who came.

railroads have Deen naui8
effort recently to discourage Eastern
people from locating in the cities of
the Northwest and have confined their
efforts almost entirely to offering in
ducements to men who are not afraid
to locate on the farm
As a result several thousand new
farmers have come to Oregon and
Southwest Washington. Most of them
will remain permanently.
Central Oregon received a greater In.
flux this Spring than ever before, but
still it is not up to the volume of move
ment sought by the railroads As a
miner of fact. Central Oregon la not

The colonist movement this fcprlng
was at no time extraordinarily heavy,
but it was remarkably steady. An av

and the last five days of the season
The average during the remaining 20

INVENTOR STARTS EAST
H. J. Hudson to Interest Federal
Government In Wireless Phone.
H. J. Hudson, a well-known young
Inventor of Portland, left last night for
Washington, D. C, in an endeavor to
Interest the Federal secret service au
thorities in an improved wireless tele
phone for which he now has pending an
application for a patent.
Mr. Hudson's invention is similar to the
wireless telephones now in use in that
it provides absolute secrecy, the same
as does the automatic telephones with
wire connections here in Portland. Its
principle of) operation Is the same as
that of the ordinary wireless telegraph
and wireless telephone, but by a sys
tem of electric connections, similar to
the automatio telephone system, a third
party is prevented from hearing the
conversation of r.ny two parties. These
connections make it possible to call
any particular party desired and no
other.
Mr. Hudson thinks his invention will
revolutionize the telephone business, as
It will eliminate wires and exchange
plants. A person would buy a tele
phone at a fixed price and then would
be free from the obligation of paying
a monthly rental. A small fee might
be necessary to maintain Information
service and to supply subscribers with
the names and numbers of new sub
scribers. !
However, if he is able to sell his In
vention to the Secret Service author
ities, to whom he thinks it will be of
great value, Mr. Hudson will not try
to commercialize it.
CITIZENSHIP PAPERS VOID
Judge Revokes Order in Cases of
Poppel and Xeuling.
Convinced by Naturalization Exam
iner Hazard that he had been too lax.
Circuit Judge McGinn yesterday re
voked orders which he made last month
conferring citizenship on Julius Poppel
and George Albert Neuling. In both
cases the examiner made some addi
tional showing. '
In Poppel's case it was shown that his
wife and the mother of his nine chil
dren had obtained a divorce from him
at Hillsboro, her complaint charging
acts of extreme cruelty and infidelity,
and also that he had threatened to
blow the family up with dynamite. He
had made no answer to the complaint.

States.
Neultng remained in the country un

Immigration authorities that he was
