RUMOR. OF WRECK
J IS NOT VERIFIED
. 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. Craig declared he knew nothing of any
wreck, and the employes of hla office amid that at least a doaen personajiad
Inquired concerning the affair. . . ; '-.v .""v;--
People along the gulch knew nothing of the, alleged emaahup., and curt
tras ones kuld be Been coming and going, all looking for the wreck.
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.

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

the Cardinal, "rest the, bodies of the first

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

adequate repairs to that structure would

cording to the City Engineer.

To build new bridges where they ar

day, "would exhaust the bridge fund al- .
