"This bridge will provide a direct west side connection without a draw, and no street railways nor railroad crossings near the ap proaches," said Air. Barbur. "When one remembers the delays and in convenience that are caused by con gestion on the bridges at present, it is certainly worth 35 cents for each $1000 of assessed valuation to grain relief." Traffic Check Analysed. Mr. Barbur has had a traffic check made on the Hawthorne and Morri son bridges to show the need of a new south bridge. An analysis of this check shows that during a 24 hour period 3100 trucks passed over the Hawthorne bridge and 3734 on tho Morrison bridge. During the sam hours 11,893 pleasure cars used the nawthorne bridge and SS84 the Morrison structure. A total of 1666 streetcars passed over the Hawthorne viaduct and 1098 on the Morrison bridge and the cheepers counted 3248 pedestrians, rnotcrcycles and bicycles passing over the Hawthorne bridge and 7789 over the Morrison bridge. Saving of Time Important. Another point stressed by the bridge committee in its argument for support for the bond issue is the fact that the time lost on other bridges due to the draws opening will not be lost on the new bridge. In this connection, Mr. Barbur points to a check made by his de partment which shows that during the month of August the Hawthorne bridge was opened 316 times, taking nine hours and 57 minutes for such openings. The Morrison bridge was opened 650 times during that month, causing a loss' of time of 43 hours and 16 mfnutep. - , Twaflc "ot Interrupted. The Burnside bridge was opened 706 times during the month, making a loss of time of 53 hours and 30 minutes, while there were 92 open ings at the steel bridge, with a time loss of four hours and 11 minutes, and 116 openings at the Brdadway bridge with a loss of nine hours and 25 minutes. "The new Ross Island bridge. which I believe the -voters will. ' authorize at the November election, will be built so as to obviate any delays caused by openings." Mr. Barbur declared. CHEF HOME FROM CHINA I''oo Ho, Pioneer Caterer, Takes Bride and Xow Is Father. Foo Ho, Chinese chef of House's restaurant for '35 years, and inti mate friend of many of Portland's pioneer residents, has arrived home after a trip to China lasting 18 months. While visiting his native land the chef mannied. -his- sweet heart of boyhood days. A eon was born to the couple a few .months ago. The only regret expressed by Mr. Foo at leaving China again was that he had to leave his new family behind, owing to the American ex clusion laws. "China is far too crowded to suit me," said Mr. Foo, "and I am glad to be back in Portland for good. I came here 48 years ago on one of the old American clipper ships and the voyage took 48 days. On my return to the United States this time I made the trip on a Pacific liner in nine days. Times have changed, I'll say." Mr. Foo, who has a working in teret in the restaurant over whose kitchen he has presided for nearly four decades, expressed pleasure to learn that the recent tong wars of Chinatown are at an end.

Chicago Although obstacle after obstacle has been encountered in connection with the construction or me t:in. trunk sewer by the J. F. Shea com pany, an inspection of the work by city officials yesterday showed that over 1000 feet of sewer has been constructed, a tunnel begfnningr at East Twenty - first and Harney streets has been bored for a dis tance of 150 feet and boring on the west end of the tunnel at the foot of Harney street began yesterday. The Lents trunk sewer is the largest sewer project ever under take by the city. When completed it will serve as an outlet for the Foster-road sewer and will give the entire Mount Scott and Lents dis tricts sanitary and drainage sewer facilities. The contract price for the sewer is $693,110.10. Eighteen Months Allowed. ' The contract awarded to the Shea company gives 18 months in which to complete the project. Unless unforeseen handicaps develop, it ic probable that the work will be com pleted long before the 18 months elapse The work now being done on the sewer project is confined to the Sell wood district. A cofferdam has been constructed at the river end of the aewer and the laying of pipe is com pleted almost to the point where the west end of the tunnel begins. At East Twenty-frrst and Harney streets a large force of men is en gaged in boring a tunnel eastward. Within a week a shaft 70 feet in depth will have been completed on Harney avenue, between last Fif teenth and East Sixteenth streets, and as soon as this is done the aewer construction will go forward both easterly and toward the river. Tunnel to Be Built. The laying of p'pe, which is of monolithic type and is constructed in the ditch, is completed from East Twenty-first to East Twenty-sixth treet, where the right of way swerves from Harney avenue to Umatilla. The sewer will continue on Umatilla avenue to the Southern Pacific tracks, where a tunnel 100 feet long must bo constructed. After the sewer has been laid in the. tun nel the course w'll continue east ward on a route that follows John son creek. Thus far the contractors have en countered cement gravel, water gravel and ledges of rock at almost every point where the digging ma chines have been placed, according to Charles A. Shea, the general manager. ' "While we have met with dfficult obstructions," Mr. Shea said yester day, "the work is progressing fairly well, and I am inclined to believe that we are through the worst of the digging. By getting an early start, as the result of speedy action on the part of City Commissioner Barbur and the city council, there is an excellent chance to continue the work through the- greater part of the winter." Mr. Shea now" has. more than 200 men at work on the project. 12 IN SOyTH BEND RACE C. A. Coulter, Mayor Is Opposed by L. P. Larson. SOUTH BEND, Wash., Oct. 14. (Special.)
