Rumor of a wreck on the Oregon Railroad & Navigation line in Sul livan's Gulch between Union avenue and Thirty-ninth street, In which it, was said 40 persona were killed, gained wide circulation throughout Port land thia morning. That the story la without foundation there can be but little doubt .The railway officials IA the general offices deny the rumor, and the Police Department and more tha j score of people Investigated tho 'waffalr and found no evidence or any accident Superintendent J, P. O'Brien, of the O. R. A N., la out of the city, but hla chief clerk emphatically denied the atory and declared it originated at , the Honeyman Hardware Company, when some one rushed In and spread the news of the supposed accident - ---v . j General Passenger Agenr A. -L.

There Is no reason in the world why we cannot have the greatest Exposition in the history of the United States right here in Portland, if we will apply our selves and work in the right direction," said Mrs. Edyth Toiler Weatherred, edl tor of the Exposition Magazine, who has Just returned from Atlantia City, N. J., and Omaha, Neb., where she represented the newspaper fraternity of Oregon at the meeting of the International League of Press Clubs and the National Editor ial Association, and incidentally urged Ithe claims of the Lewis and Clark Expo sltlon. There is much yet to be done. In the opinion of Mrs. Weatherred, and if the Fair is to be a success, she says, those at the head must keep at it and not lag for a moment. "This plan of getting out an elaborate booklet and sending it out, and then not sending another for possibly a year, is no way to advertise the Fair. Little pamphlets and circulars should be in circulation at all times, and every man and woman who goes East should be sup piled with literature. There is no need of burdening travelers with a useless lot of bulky reading matter. Little, terse pamphlets are the things that count Heed of a State Building. The need of a state building at the St Louis Fair, Mrs. Weatherred said, was one thing that should be impressed upon the minds of the people of Oregon. "It Is absolutely essential," she declared, "that we have some place from which to distribute advertising matter relating to our Fair, - There ls.no tieed to fear that the St Louis Exposition will Injure our Exposition. Both fairs will aid each ether.. The 8t Louis Fair will secure for us exhibits we could never have hoped to get otherwise." i A Saving of Thousands. Mrs. Weatherred said that the Eastern press had got the Idea that the Portland Fair Association had decided not to ad vertise until the close of the Louisiana ! Purchase Exposition. She did much to dispel this idea, she said, and said that the -newspapers throughout the country were more than willing to give the com ing Western Fair publicity. "By sending out matter to the press now," declared Mrs. Weatherred, "and keeping everlastingly at it, we can se cure thousands of dollars' worth of ad vertising absolutely free." Keeping the Pair Dark, To show how little the Fair has been advertised, Mrs. Weatherred told of meeting two prominent Eastern men and their wives on the train as she went East, who had spent a day in sightsee ing when they were in Portland, who did not know that there was to be an Exposition. - "Let the publicity committee have pamphlets at the hotels," she said, "and at the Union Depot. Every little helps. "When I was In Atlantic City I wore a little Lewis and Clark button. Over a hundred persons asked me f or -'it I wrote the Fair officials for literature. but the only matter I received was from R. M. Hall and G. M. McKlnney, railway advertising men.- After the Postmen. Mrs. Weatherred slid that some one had spoken of the efforts of the Wom en's Department of the Lewis and Clark Fair In working to secure the National convention of the Letter-Carriers' Asso ciation for Portland -during the Expo sition, as out of place. Before I left," she said, "there was a joint meeting of the letter-carriers and the Women's Department, In which the local postmen urged that I work to se cure tne convention ror Portland. Whether it comes to Portland or not my efforts have been to advertise the Fair among several thousand letter-car- triers who came to my hotel." . Mrs. Weatherred was overcome by heat at Omaha and' Is still suffering from the effects so much so that she has not yet taken tip her regular duties in Port land.

Never In the history of the Eternal City at least as long as St. Peter's has stood did more splen dor, dignity and enthusiasm mingle with solemnity as obtained yesterday during the ceremony of the coronation of Plus X, the Pontiff of the great Roman Cath olic Church.

At 6 a. m. the bells of Rome began ringing and there assembled before tho doors of St. Peter"? thousands of people, In the basilica of the cathedral the cere monies were to tako place, and when the doors were opened there was a mad ruBh for the Interior.

Then they waited for the grand pro cession from the Vatican. Seated were many nobles and the arts tocracy. The Church and State had been united, and not for years had the Quiri nal elbowed with the Princes of the Church. In the Vatican an unusual scene was In progress. Five hundred persons were forming In a procession to escort the Pontiff from the prelate palace. The Pope rose early, and after walking in the Vatican gardens he returned to his apartments and knelt in prayer. An hour afterward the procession was formed, and Pius, Just before, went Into the Slstlne Chapel and worshiped before the holy sacrament. From the chapel the Pope passed through the Sala Regla and the staircase of Constantino into the portico of the basilica. On a throne erected before the holy door the Pope seated himself, and round about sat the members of the Sacred College. The ceremonies from this time were awe-inspiring. At the side of the Pope were Monslgnore Cagalno, the Major Domo; Monslgnore Bisleti, the master of ceremonies, Monslgnore Rlggl and Dr. Lapponl. The Slstlne choir, sent entrancing strains of the "Tues Patraa vibrating through the cathedral immediately after the Pontiff had. taken the throne. Obedience. ,tWhen the strains had passed away, Cardinal Rampolla, with solemn dignity, advanced, and, kneeling at the feet of Plus, said: "I offer an act of obedience to Your Holiness, and wish you a pros perous and glorious pontificate. "Within this house of God," continued the Cardinal, "rest the, bodies of the first Pope and of St PauL It augurs well for the new head of the Catholic Church." The Pope waa visibly affected, and as he thanked the Cardinal hla voice trem bled. The procession was again formed and led through' the door of the basilica.

Poor, bridges are responsible for three deaths and numerous accidents since the first of the year, and at ' present City Engineer Elliott said today, not more than a dosen of Portland's 90 bridges are in flrst-clasa repair. Mr. Elliott has sent several communications . to the Executive Board, giving a state ment covering the situation, but the . bridge fund, he says, will hardly stgyd . so extensive an outlay as la required to repair all the structures. Since last January four bridges have , collapsed. The last accident of that sort was the Morrison-street bridge wreck. In which an approach gave way, precipitat ing more than 100 people into the Wil lamette River, and two persona were drowned. While that structure la under the supervision of the county, it is nevertheless within the city limits and is classed as a city bridge. The col lapse of the, Corbet t-street bridge killed one man. To keep these 90 bridges in repair City Engineer Elliott has at his disposal eight men, divided Into two repair crewe. Ha : says that It Is Impossible with this force to cope with the conditions. The beat they can do, he says. Is to replaoe a stringer here or a cap there. The ma- Jorlty of the brldgea were constructed In the city's early days. They are going to pieces almost simultaneously, Mr. El liott says, and complaints are general from every quarter of the, city. Of the bridges spanning the Wil lamette River, the Morrlson-atreet struc ture has already demonstrated Its con dition In the collapse of the east ap proach. Originally the brldga was erected by a private corporation, which later sold it to the city for $1(0,000. The Madison-street bridge is also old. but Is lees used than the other bridges. and Is still regarded safe. Six or seven bridges are In such a dan gerous condition that they were ordered : closed to traffic at the last meeting of the City Council. One of the bridges , declared unsafe by the Council la that at Northrup street, which Is tho mala artery for travel to and from 'the Al bina ferry from the north district lead ing to the terminal grounds. To make adequate repairs to that structure would cost upward of $7,700. and to complete superficial repairs will cost 11,100, ac cording to the City Engineer. aek of rands. To build new bridges where they ar needed," said City Engineer Elliott to- day, "would exhaust the bridge fund al- . most before work could be well started.
