A solution of the problem of bridging the Columbia river between Pasco and Kennewlck Is seen in an application made to the board of county commis sioners for a franchise to construct a privately owned bridge. The applica tion was made by Charles G. Huber. who Is said to represent one of the largest bride-building concerns in the country. A similar application was made to the commissioners of Benton county. . Should the application be granted, which it likely will be. Mr. Huber agrees to, have the work of construc tion under way within one year, and the bridge completed within three years. Commission Reports on Funds. SALEM. Or., Sept. 6. (Special.) A total of $2,878,484.22 remained in the accident and segregated funds of the state industrial accident commission at the close of business on August 31. 1919. according to a report filed by that body yesterday. Use of Dodge park, a tract of prop erty owned by the water department, located 24 miles east of Portland at the junction of the Sandy and Bull Kun rivers, by the Oregon' organization of the American Legion, was suggest eu to the city council at an informal meeting yesterday. It was proposed to allow the legion the right to erect a dancing pavilion and equip and operate. concessions, the only regulations being that the park be properly policed, a high, moral stand ard be maintained, and that the money taken in go into the coffers of the le git n. The park would continue to be open to the public free of charge and for the privilege of concessions the le gion would tee that the park was prop erly kept up. " The proposition was suggested as a means of income for the legion, and it is probable the proposal will be put before the city authorities shortly by th3 state legion. . Dodge park has only been recently made available to the public, but dur ing the last season is said to have at tracted large numbers. It is accessible to the Columbia highway, although not immediately reached by that drive. Camping, bathing and fishing faciliMes are said to be excellent. Some' ten acres of the park are now improved, and it is proposed to improve 40 more acres at a later time. In case the proposal is carried out the legion would probably take over custody, of the property next spring. The Liberty temple, which It was pro posed to move to the park blocks, will remain at its present location on Sixth street, between Morrison and lamhill. for the time oeing, ft was decided by the city commission yesterday morning. It was found that the building could only be-moved to the proposed new. site by cutting it Into three pieces, and that MOTHER HAPPY IN FLIGHT Mrs. May Slilln, on Way to Hong' kong, Sends Wireless to Friends. "All well, very happy," read the wire less sent to friends in Portland yes terday by Mrs. May Milln. now on her way to Hongkong, China, with her baby that she removed from the juris diction of the Oregon court last Sunday by a sensational flight to Canada where she embarked. That the child cannot be recovered and disposed of in accord ance with court instructions is the opin ion of local officers. Mrs. Milln is now aboard the Japanese liner Katori Maru and expects to-join her relatives in the Chinese city. The removal of the youngster from jurisdiction of the court followed an order issued in connection with the Milln divorce - case which was heard some time ago and which awarded cus tody to the grandmother, Mrs. L. L. Pickens, of Oregon City. The mother called for the child as had been her custom on Sundays and began the long flight. That she cannot be brought back on a charge , of contempt of court is ad mitted and it is considered doubtful whether another charge can be preferred. i WIFE DESERTION CHARGED Ex-Sprnce Division Man Arrested In Polk County Hopyard.
