THE SUNDAY OltEGONIAN, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 24, 1922 BRIDGE ESTIMATED LONG SPAN WITHOUT LIFT OR DRAW IS PROPOSED BY ADVOCATES OF NEW BRIDGE ACROSS THE WILLAMETTE RIVER TO BE BUILT AT BEACON STREET. GRAIN MEN RESENT SEATTLE'S CHARGE support of Columbia and Washing ton counties for a new state lilsn way or "Inland route" from Portland to Astoria and the Clatsop beaches. In a letter published hers, Judas Cornelius states that Clatsop countv Is ready to turn over 13 miles of hard surfaced road and a graded road bed from Avtorla to the Co lumbia county line at Vesper. The proposed route would lead down the Nehalem va.!ey from the city of Vernonla to Vesprr and thence acress to Astoria near the old inland route to the ses. The upper end wrulJ enter Washington county near Vernonla and extend through Washington and Multnomah roun t'es to Portland. The entire routs ac.-ordlng to Judite Corntilu.' pro poxal, would open up new and fi rt lr territory tint will probably nrvir be touched y railroads. It a!so would relieve the traffic on the lower Columbia highway and fur nlnh another great scenic highway as a tourist asset to the state. TO COST 51,600,000 Proposed Span for Willam ette Surveyed. Diverting of Wheat Cars . Held Not Retaliatory. PLAN TO GO ON BALLOT DOCK SPACE PLENTIFUL Additional Outlay . to Property Washington Department's JCciort of Congestion in Portland Is Erroneous. Owners for Widening Street 13 Put at $271,000. 20 The total cost of a proposed new enan across the Willamette river to relieve congestion, on the pres ent bridges, to be erected from Beacon street on the east side to Grover .street on the west side, would approximate Ji,600,000, ex clusive of the additional cost to oroDerty holders for widening and nuttine- the approaching streets into shape, in the opinion of City Engineer Laurgaard and Commis sioner A. L. Barbur, who have just completed a survey. This addi tional cost to property owners in the districts involved would ap proximate $271,000 for widening the approaching street six blocks on the west side and 11 blocks on the east side of the river. Measure to Go on Ballot. The commissioners have agreed to place the measure for the bond Issue for this structure on the November ballot after hearing the recommendation of the bridge com mittee composed of delegates from the various civic clubs of the south eastern communities. Harry E. Hall is the chairman of this com mittee and the personnel is com posed of five members of each of the community organizations in Mount Scott, Lents, South Portland, Sellwood, Woodstock, Westmoreland and Brooklyn. The decision to lo cate the proposed new span at Beacon street was not unanimous, for there are many supporters of the plan to locate the proposed structure at Sellwood, to replace the present Sellwood ferry. Such a bridge as the city engineer has in mind, if the bond issue car ries, for the Beacon-street site would be 3635 feet in length and would not be .provided with any draw or lift span, for it would be built as high as the present lifted span is on the aawmorne pnuge. The bridge proper would begin at Grand avenue on the east side of the river and run to Kelly street on the west side, and would be the finest structure in the city when completed, with the possible ex ception of the Broadway bridge, which exceeded the cost of the pro posed span, according to the city engineer's figures. Street Widening; Planned. The improvements in. the streets providing the approach to the bridge would consist of widening Beacon street from Milwaukie street to Grand avenue, a distance of 11 blocks, to an 80-foot width, and installing pavement, while on the west side, Qorbett street from Front and Arthur street to Grover and Kelley street would be widened and paved in a similar manner. The width on the bridge proper would be 54 feet over all, with no provi sions for street-car tracks, and pro viding a 42-foot driveway. The supporters of the plan for erecting the new structure on tne Beacon-street side argue that it would be a direct artery for the en tire Powell valley and Foster road district and in addition would taek care of a great part of the traffic on Milwaukie street. The territory which such a bridge would accom modate is immense, and with the completion of Foster road, which is expected about December 1, a vast amount of traffic will be diverted into this artery into the southeast ern portion of the city. Advantages Pointed Out. Members of the committee advo cating the erection of the new span point to the fact that no draw span would be needed, that the span pro vide continuous 24-hour service for the entire southeastern portion of the city and other points to the south outside the city limits, divert traffic from the Morrison and Haw thorne bridges, which are at pres ent badly congested during the rush hours, and lessen the need for a ferry at Sellwood. Campaign committees have been appointed from among the various community organizations of the dis tricts which will be directly con cerned and every effort will be put forth to obtain a favorable vote on the measure. Yearly Cost Pat at 0.!,.13X Advocates of the Beacon-street site declare that at the next ses sion of the legislature a bill will be introduced to permit Multnomah county to use the profits from the interstate bridge to defray as far as possible the expense of building the Ross island or Beacon-street span, and the Burnside span. It is said that in the event the Ross island bridge is constructed that there will be an average yearly cost, based upon 30-year serial bonds at 5 per cent, of $93,333' for both principal and interest. With an estimated county valuation of $310,000,000 it is declared "y the bridge supporters that a levy of .00035 mill, or 3S cents on each $1000 will raise more than sufficient revenue to pay for the bonds, bond charges and maintenance. An accurate check on vehicles passing over the five Portland bridges during the month of August reveals the fact that travel to the southeastern portion of the city leads in figures, and this is pointed to by the Beacon-street bridge boosters as an indication of the vital need for a new span. Traffic over the bridges during the 31 days in August was as follows: Haw thorne. 14,993; Morrison, 12,618; Burnside, 6406: Steel, 9262; and Broadway, 18.951. PROFITS EASY TO MAKE Auto Repair Shop Men Arrested on Charge of Larceny. George Misner end Nick Jacobsen, proprietors of a email automobile repair shop near Klla and Washing ton streets, had an effective and economical method of keeping their place of business stocked, according to alleged confessions made follow ing their arrest , by Deputy Sheriffs Sctiirmer and Lament. They admitted that for the past year at least they have found it less expensive to steal tires, batteries, accessories, motors, etc., than to buy them, according to the arresting officers. They did not pick out strangers always but even purloined from their customers, if the iden tification of two tires, made yester day by John B. Justice of 709 Six teenth street, was correct. Both men are held In jail on larceny charges. Art-, wren Ty (WOODS ;nTTrT AMnvgS.

HORNER, Professor of History and Director of Ore gon Historical Research, Oregon Agri cultural College. -yREGON AGRICULTURAL COL I I LEGE, Corvallis,. Sept. 23. (Special.) Were we familiar with the a,ncjen marine tragedies of the Pacific northwest we would know more concerning the genesis of the American Indian and the origin of certain Asiatic features that he possesses; and we might understand how It came about that there were Indians along the Colum bia river with blue eyes, red hair and Caucasian faces before the advent of the fur trader; also it might be easier to explain the striking resemblance of certain ancient Japanese hieroglyphics and those carved in the basaltic cliffs of the Columbia. As early as the Lewis and Clark expedition evidence of wrecks along the Oregon coast was obtained. H. H. Bancroft gives dates when British, Spanish, Chinese and Jap anese ships went down, prior to the discovery of Oregon; and there were in all probability marine tragedies more ancient than any of these. Beeswax on Shore. Tons of beeswax from an un known source have lain exposed along the Nehalem shore. Also there is the submerged hull of an old but strange ship near by. Not far away are inscriptions on various stones, called "hieroglyphic rocks," which were evidently intended to direct someone to an important point. These have been used in sus port of the Indian legend that cen turies ago a Spanish ship, carrying a cargo of beeswax, was wrecked by pirates at Neah-Kah-Nie cove, that chests of treasure were taken from the ship and buried in the side of the mountain, and to prevent the superstitious Indians from disturb ing the treasure a black man pre sumably a negro was buried with 2. -BRIDGE-- I 11 Shaded streets are where improvements will be necessary to provide DECLARED TO HOLD MANY SECRETS CONNECTION WITH EARLY HISTORY OF OREGON Vessel and Buried Treasure Said to Stories Can Be Run Down the chests. Many tiave sought the "hidden treasure," and some believe that it was found. Dr. C. E. Linton, pharmacist at Waldport, Or.,' and author of "The Earth Motor," 'The Storm's Gift' and a number of other Jules Verne stories of the Yaohats coast, made some study of the "Beeswax Ship," of which he says: "I conducted- a drug store at Ne halem City as early as 1892. About three years later a ctorm at sea washed ashore and exposed unusual ouantities of beeswax, some of which had been made into candles. .Many of the chunks were amor phous, and one piece was In the shape of a book on which were hieroglyphics, believed by some to be of Toltec origin. Being a chem ist, I examined the material very carefully, and I am positive it was beeswax. At that time I collected two tons of the wax for the i drug gists, Woodard & Clark, and another firm in Portland, both houses pur chasing it as beeswax. "I never saw any of the wax north cf Neah-Kah-Nie, nor south of' the mouth of the Nehalem river. Hence I believe the wax was limited to two miles of beach between these points. Bran Cannon Pound. "On the Neah-Kah-Nie beach was a brass cannon, which an aged In dian, Joe Sattin by najne. told me had come from a ship that had oeen wrecked in his grandfather's time. He also stated that he had often seen the wreck. This -cannon may or may not be the one on Cannon beach. "From Sattin I received the Im pression that the ship came from tome southern Spanish coast, and upon examining thai wax candles I concluded that the ship was bound for some mission further north, and that the wax may -have been intend ed for the Greek church missions in Alaska, then owned by Russia, but now by America. Dr. Linton gives the name Neah-Kah-Nie, as it is used locally. But NEHALEM "BEESWAX" AND PICTURE OF SUPPOSED WRECKED A CITY Or POBTUANO.I OUtOOIM. DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.

Bancroft gives It as Neah earny. S. A. Clarke, in his "Pioneer History of Oregon," gives "Necar- ney," as does T. H. Rogers in his book, "Nehalem." S. J. Cotton, in his "Stories of Nehalem," says: "Mrs. Ed. Gervais (an aged, intelligent In dian woman) gives the Indian name for the mountain as Se-a-kah-no. Spanish Word t orurpted. That of Carney or Necarney, ap plied by many, comes from the Span ish word "came," meaning meat Or flesh. She says her people learned it from the Spaniards wrecked here at the time of the treasure ship. The men pointed to the elk grazing on the mountain side and called them 'came.' " Thomas H. Rodgers has probably done more with his pen than any other person to call attention to the mysterious "beeswax ship." He says: "My Book, 'Nehalem,' had its incep tion in the discovery of a large chunk of beeswax on the sandspit north of Cape Mears many years ago, and a mammoth beeswax can dle displayed in the office of the Tillamook Headlight. "That such a ship went ashore near Neah-Kah-Nie is beyond ques tion. I saw the wrecked ship. It now lies one and a half miles south of Neah-Kah-Nie. "In 1896 the late T. B. Handley of Tillamook told me by long dis tance telephone that the lowest tide in 20 years was on, that the hull of the ship wa3 exposed, and he urged me to come at once. I has tened to Neah-Kah-Nie only to find that I was so late we could get but an occasional glimpse of the ship. so deep jn the sanc.s that the seas broke over it. "A friend, however, had antici pated us by taking a wooden pulley and some teakwood from the wreck, from which was turned a carpen ter's mallet now on exhibition in the museum of the Oregon Histori cal society. . "I have walked up and down that O.LAUnOAARO Crrv EnoiMMf suitable approaches to proposed new Regardless of Whether or Not beach many and many a time seek ing facts connected with the tragedy indicated by the presence of the wax, the wrecked ship and the cryptic marks upon the stone, near the shore, all of which I have seen and studied; and as the results of discoveries made by himself and others and the traditions and leg ends which respectable old Indians gave me, my book 'Nehalem' ap peared; which, though now out of print, will soon appear in a revised edition." S. J. Cotton writes in his interest ing book entitled "Stories of Neha lem": "That a ship carrying much bees wax was wrecked here is without question. No story of the Nehalem country has ever been written with out reference to it. There seems to have been soma difference of opinion among scientists as to the true char acter of the substance, some claim ing that it is a form of mineral wax while others positively say it is beeswax. Most authorities hold to the latter opinion." Old Volume Quoted. In "A Voyage Around the World," written by Commodore Byron, May 9, 1766, the author says in chapter five: "There were at that time 20,000 Chinese goldsmiths, manufacturers and brokers engaged at Manila mak ing and obtaining articles which are annually sent to Acapulco princi pally to the Jesuits, being a dona tion to support the millions for the propagation of the Catholic faith . . . Wax is so plentiful that they make no other candles, and never burn lamps. . . . The bees are of several kinds, some of them being very large, and make their combs in the woods, producing sucn quanti ties of honey as would almost sub sist the natives." This indicates that the wax now found along the Nehalem shore may have been shipped from the Philippines The late S. A. Clarke, editorial writer on The Oregonlan and pro- SHIP.

Widening of streets and prietor of the Willamette Farmer, states in his "Pioneer Days of Ore gon" that the abbreviations I H S (Iesus Hominum Salvator, Jesus the Saviour of Men; or in hoc signo, in this sign) and I H N (in hoc nem ine. In this name) appeared on vari ous blocks of wax as taken, from the sea. Wltncaaea Are Cited. Mr. Clark was a careful, conscien tious writer, who in this instance mentioned as his witnesses John Hobson of Astoria, Thomas Llnville and Adolph Dekum of Portland and a Mr. Howell, in the book which was published in the lifetime of these men. Also other reliable writers have reported similar inscriptions on blocks of wax found on the Ne halem beach; and it may be stated further that the presence of the let ter symbols on the wax and the cross on the "hieroglyphic rock" is a coincidence that links the wreck of the "beeswax ship" closer to the curiously carved stones. An abundance of wax candles, to gether with blocks of wax inscribed with the striking characters I H S and I H N, strewn along the Ne halem beach at a time possibly ante dating the American revolution, and the cross on the "hieroglyphic rock, carved possibly soon after the wreck indicate that the "beeswax ship' may have been first to bring to the Oregon country symbols and charac ters peculiar to Christianity; and it is possible that the survivors of that wreck were the first to inform the natives concerning the Great I Am and him who died on the cross. Did we but know the complete story of the "beeswax ship," we might know where the Indians obtained their earliest notion of the "Great Spirit and how they came to exchange their idols of stone for Talapus- the Great Spirit whom they ig norantly embodied in the coyote or beaver, and whom they reverently called to witness their more lm portent treaties with white men when the Pacific northwest first be came of historical significance. ( hrmlnt Itrport Cited. An experienced chemfst who ex amined a piece of Nehalem wax for the writer pronounced it to be bees wax, and his findings are. conclu sive. It is possible, however that in collecting a shipload it may have been convenient, if not necessary, to take both beeswax and mineral wax end that some of the candles and chunks along the beach are ozocerite. Moreover, Dr. Floyd E. Rowland, industrial chemist of the Oregon Agricultural collrge. has discovered that some of the candles found with the wax are not bees wax, nor paraffin, nor ozocerite; but that they are animal fat probably tallow. If any of the wax is ozocerite, or mineral wax, it might have been obtained locally and manufactured by devout monks in an Indian vil lage that was submerged by some tidal wave or reduced by a more powerful tribe. The fact that much of the wax Is found above sea level and at some distance from the ocean might be explained by this theory. However, ozocerite could have been brought thither by other means. Mineral wax was plentiful in Mol davia lying along the edge of Rus sia and extending practically to the Black Sea. It was, therefore, possible for Greek Catholic mission aries of Russia to export natural wax manufactured Into implements for religious purposes to the mis sions of Alaska, which they pro moted; or by Austrian and Span ish missionaries to Roman Catholic missions which they were promot ing on the isles of the Pacific ocean. The presence of Roman characters on the wax, however, favor the latter theory. Spanish Visit I'taa. Within 50 years after America was discovered, Spanish explorers lured by the fable of the "Cities of Ci bola." probably visited the southern portion of Utah, where mineral wax was abundant. It was quite possi ble to export the wax via Green River, the Colorado and the Oulf of California to some Mexican city to be manufactured into tapers for northern missions. Also mineral wax could have been obtained from Trinidajl and various other places at that time. The presence of an abundance of wave-worn wax candles along Ne halem beach suggests the. wreck of a ship driven off her course by storm or by some other agency cen turies ago, but the stories of the hieroglyphic rocks" near the shore line agree that a "treasure ship" was wrecked in a piratical expedi tion. 6, sb R.

Grain and shipping circles yester day read with interest assertions published In 'Seattle of alleged dis crimination by railroad lines in favor of Portland in handling wheat to tidewater and that the roads had failed in. promises to lift an em bargo against Seattle. In addition the publication of a copy of a tele gram shown to have been sent to the interstate commerce commission by the Washington department of public works, in which it was said a vessel had been diverted from Portland to Seattle because of a congestion here, was resented. There is no semblance of a con gestion at Portland as regards the unloading of .wheat, according to those in touch with conditions at tidewater. Of 5082 cars of wheat reaching Portland between July 1 and yesterday, 1000 cars had been unloaded for the season at terminal No. 4 alone up to noon and It was asserted cars then on the tracks would be unloaded in a day '"find a half. Demurrage has not been paid on a single car of wheat at the ter minal this season, declare repre sentatives of the commission of pub lic docks. DIHIna; to Seattle Refused. The Seattle disturbance grows out of alleged refusal on the part of the Spokane. Portland & Seattle rail way and the O.-W. R. & N. to bill cars of wheat for the Gray Roaen. baum Grain company from eastern Washington points to Seattle. The attitude of the rail lines is declared the result of having their cars held by other roads, not being returned when shipments are unloaded or re loaded for points on the owning line. The Gray - Rosenbaum interests lease grain elevator facilities at Se attle from the Seattle port commis sion and at Portland they are using the municipal grain elevator at terminal No. 4, as is the Northwest Wheat Growers' association. Up to October 15 the Gray-Rosenbaum Grain company will have loaded two vessels at Seattle as against five bulk wheat cargoes at Portland, though at tho northern port much packed grain Is shipped by them to the orient in parcels. Right Cars Involved. Eight cars of wheat are reported involved in the two inxtances re cited. The Seattle chamber of com merce has taken up the matter and one of its representatives Is quoted to tne errect there i a feelina- among Seattle exporters "who are uffering by reason of tht-se din criminations, that the tieups of this last week are part of a programme ol retaliation because one large ex porter caused to be diverted from the Port of Portland to "Seattle a Japanese ship, i the Karachi Maru. after that vessel had been unable to complete a cargo at Portland." The, Karachi Maru reached As toria, not coming to Portland, the morning of September 13 from the orient and left Astoria again that night for Seattle, having been sent north, say her charterers, because with tonnage for the Gray-Rosenbaum Grain company in port there was a doubt whether wheat needed ror the ships could be moved In. owing to the railroad situation, and then cleaned so as to be loaded by the last of the month. And the Karachi Maru was shown lying yes terday at the Connecticut-street ter minal, Seattle. Mmut Adds to 'Work. While Portland oar recelnts of wheat were 6082 up to yesterday, for tne -same period last season 10.267 cars had reached tidewater and that is pointed to as indicating there would be little reason for conges tion with at least equal facilities for unloading and storage as were available last season. IJxtra work has been necessary this season be cause of a greater percentage of smut reported in cjub wheat, adding to the amount to be cleaned. The car receipts, other than the 1000 cars to reach Terminal Ng. 4 so far, were ai private aocKs. ."Seattle wheat receipts up to yesterday were 1644 cars. At the time the Karachi Maru re ported in the river the Gray-Rosenbaum interests had the steamers Tokufuku Maru, Tofuku Maru and Orient City either loading or wait ing to load for September, and the steamer Great City arrived for them September IS. The Tofuku Maru sailed yesterday, so only two remain in port, both being at the municipal elevator. EASTEJIN SAlXOn IN I'OItt Vessel liertlis at Terminal No. 1 With Far-East Cargo.
