: Sampson Harris, an : electrician on

ama, has written a- breesy account of
conditions there, to a f rjend In Port
land. Harris enlisted In Portland and of
17 men stood highest in physical and
mental examinations. He was In charge
of the squad of recruits sent from Port-
- land to Ban Francisco. Mr. v Harris
- "We left San Franclco on the after

Acapulco, Mexico. Tho fleet consisted
of the Marblehead, Concord and Wyom

drill that a fleet always has on a sea
trip that is we had 'general quarters,'
' which Is the . stations the, men take In
case of action.' and we alBO had fire
quarters,'' cohesion drill, abandon ship,
etc. - My station Is in charge of a four
Inch ammunition hoist. We proceeded
. along at the rate of 10 knots an hour.
which Is equal to 11 4 miles an hour, for
nine days, arriving In Acapulco on Octo-

Coioma, an active' volcano, of which
there are a great many along this coast,

a Mexican fort there which was bom

ON SUSPICION
Chttrged with being unlawfully In the
country and without certificates of reg
istration, two Chlneae giving their harae
as Lee Dock Ooon and Lee Sing, were
arrested by the Chinese lnspectora last
night and taken before Commissioner
Fladen.thla morning. Both cases were
continued and the prisoners released on
ball of 1300 each..' : .v-v - -
It is suspected by the authorities that
the names given are fictitious. In China
town Lee Dock Is known as Lee Chow,
while Lea Sing goes under the name of
Lee Moy Wing. The suspicion Is added
to by the fact that both .refused to give
their names until they had consulted an
attorney. . . - - ; - - .
' The Chinese were discovered along the
water front acting In a suspicious man
ner and taken Into custody. Neither
could glva a satisfactory account of him-
"self. It is thought that they were at
tempting . to hold . communication with
Chinese on the Indrapura.
, Lee Dock has been employed in the Log
Cabin saloon on Fourth street for a num
ber of months. , lie says that he landed
in New York. .-

For a city of Its site there Is very lit
tle shoplifting aone in PorUand.. At
this season of the year, with the big
stores crowded, thieves usually ply their
vocation with persistent energy. - : In
Portland the local store managers do not
consider the situation of sufficient im
portance to employ atora detectives, but
every employe 1s on tha watch for lift
era'', and pickpockets. r .
, Ili very Eastern city . of any size
thievea make, large hauls,-. particularly
in the department stores, in spite of the
vigilance of the detectives and employes.
But here they do not ply their profes
sion so frequently. The local stores
suffer mostly through the petty larcenl
of local thieves.'.- .: ; ; v ::r-n:'-:r'
. The police department" is 'so handi
capped that Chief. Hunt has neither uni
formed officers nor detectives to detail
to the larger stores as is done in other
places. However, lha detectives make
frequent rounds of tha stores while at
tending to their otlier eases, v
The Paolo" coast cannot boast of. as
clever shoplifters as can. the East and
Mlddlewest. This is largely due to the
fact that it is mora difficult to dispose of
plunder. In Chicago and New York the
regular "fenceB'!make it ay for thieves
to sen wnat they steal. ; eastern crooks
frequently travel to the Coast and Port,
land police have apprehended mora than
one good store thief. ' ,
? But one arrest for shoplifting haa been
made during the present holiday season,
This was tha caaa of a middle aged man
Who stole two shlrta from a Third street
store. H& first took one and returned for
tha second. The proprietor saw him
and turned him over to an officer. His
sentence was a year in the county Jail,
- AH the stores.hava extra help at this
aeason of the year and while more people
visit tnese beehives of Industry the
clerks keep an unusually vigilant watch
for thieves. The floor walkers keep their
eyes open for suspicious persons.- Every
year many are caught but no arrests fol
low, either because of extenuating ' cir
cumstances, or because . the thief pays
for what he or she takes. But ever af
ter they are either barred from tha store
or are watched with an .eagle eye. '
Tha detectives state that all stores
lose large quantities of goods every year
particularly during the holiday season
by reason of the pHferlngs of thieves
who are never caught. These may be
small articles of little value or possibly
more bulky property like cloaks or milli
nery which a good shoplifter can get
away . with' very cleverly. In several
cases the police have (rrrested thieves
and In their possession found goods
taken from local stores and their owners
knew nothing of the loss until tha booty
was discovered. In one of the . local
stores it is said that a reward is offered
to employee who detect shoplifters, ' ,

New York, Dec. 21.- Bte shlpa and
little ships, tugboats anof rowboats,
naphtha launches and steam . launches
and scows and craft of every conceiva
ble sise and description swarmed in the
East Hver opposite ; tho Brooklyn
navy yard Saturday, and acreeched
their whistles and flrd their guns
to , apprise all within hearing that
the ; new Williamsburg 'bridge, "after
anK expenditure of $20,000,000 and
eight 4 years of toll, was at last
an accomplished fact. It was a day of
Jubilation for New Tork in general and
or Williamsburg in particular," for to
the people of the last named section of
the metropolis the completion of the
new .bridge meansv: freedom -from - the
dangerous crush they, have been obliged
to contend with for years in crossing
the old Brooklyn bridge. The ceremonies
attending the formal opening were sim
ple but impressivei The chief officials
of the city, together,1 with representa
tives of the federal government, army
and naval officers, distinguished ' engi-neerr-and
. other invited guests, assem
bled in tha center' of tha gigantic span
across the river and listened to, orations
appropriate to the occasion delivered
by Mayor Low. Bridge Commissioner
Lindenthal and Borough Presidents Can
tor and Swanstorm. , Commissioner Lin
denthal made the opening address form
ally turning the bridge over to the city.
Tha speech of acceptance was delivered
by Mayor Low and was the chief fea
ture of tha ceremonies. 'Tha completion
of tha exercises was' marked by the
booming of cannon and the unfurling of
flags throughout the great length of
the structure. -::';-;.; ., ,
Crash Hot remitted. '
" The general public was not permitted
to cross the bridge today and thus was
avoided the possibility of a crush such
as was witnessed at tha opening of the
Brooklyn bridge and which resulted in
the deaths of. more than a acora of
persons. But one roadway of th new
bridge is entirely completed and - this
was opened to iraffio today. It ia ex-,
pected that the other roadway and the
patha ; for pedestrians will be ready
within a few- weeka. '' )
In general appearance the new bridge
seems much more maasiva than, tha old
Brooklyn bridge, but at the same- time it
is much less graceful. ' In length, width,
height and the number' of promenades
and trolley tracks the" new structure
surpasses tha old. : The Manhattan ter
minal of the new structure1 Is, at De
UJcey street, while tha Williamsburg
end. is at South Fifth street In the
construction of these great terminals
and approaches whole blocks of buildings
were, raaed. ...v, v, iS1 .i.,..
The length of the bridge between its
terminals Is 7,200 feet, or over one
and, a third miles. .The main span, from
the center of one" tower to that of the
other, is 1,600 feet tfbng. The width of
the structure is lis feet, aa. compared
with 85 feet, the width of the old Brook
lyn bridge. :, Its minimum height above
mean high water at the pierhead lines is
122 feet and Ita minimum height for 200
feet on either side of tha center of tha
main "span -is 185 feet.-- The heights
of the cables on the top of tha towers
is ieei at ineir center.
40,000 Tons of Steal. '
. Three thousand and forty-eight tons
of. steel have been used in constructing
each of the towers, while nearly 17,000
tons have .been put into the great ap
proaches. 'In each , of tha suspension
cables, which . are 18 Inches in dia
meter, there- are- 7,96 separata - wires,
these wirea being 8,600 feet long and
three-sixteenths of an inch in thickness.
Six and one-half million feet of timber
were required to construct the bridge
and tha ateel employed amounted to 40,
000 tons.. It .was necessary to excavate
125,000 cubic feet of earth and to tear
down several hundred , buildings .and
houses. ' x
Passages of All Kinds.
. Both of the towers are planted on
solid rock foundations. For tha Man
hattan anchorage S.600 piles were driven
through clay and sand until they reached
a solid foundation. Tha anchorage on
tha Williamsburg aide Is' said to jrest
on natural aand. Tha bridge is pro
vided with two drives for carriages, four
trolley tracks, two elevated tracks, two
foot walks and two bicycle tracks. "
Authority for constructing tha bridge
was contained in a law enacted by the
state legislature in 1896. In October
of tha following year the flrat work was
begun on the Manhattan tower founda
tion.' On April 14, 1J01, the first wire
for the temporary footbridge was strung,
While the first wire for tha permanent
cable: Jvaajtretched across. the follow
ing November. Tha cablea were finished
in August of 1&02. , .
Will Believe Congestion.
The opening lot the new bridge is ex
pected to relievo somewhat the over
burden of traffic on the Brooklyn bridge.
Thla measure of relief, however, will
not be nearly Bo great aa might be sup
posed at a flrat glance at the situation,
for thai reason that the great bulk of
traffic that will , use tho .new structure
have heretofore crossed tha river by
ferry and have not used the Brooklyn
bridge to any extent. The ultimata re
lief of the Brooklyn bridge crush lies
In the completion of tha third bridge
across the East river, already under
construction, at a point about midway
between the Brooklyn bridge and the
Williamsburg atructure opened today.
In addition ' to these three bridges a
fourth is to connect Manhattan with
the Brooklyn shore by way of Black
well's Island, so that New Tork in a
few years will be able to lay claim to
tha title of the city of magnificent
bridges. ?, v -.

.'Tortland is hobo infested." said Bee
retary W. R. Walpole of" the city board
of charities today.
"Not only are there mining men and
loggers who have spent their summer's
wagea in tha dives, but there are pro
fesslonal tramps, worklngmen out of a
job, prospectors from Alaska, wanderers
from California, from tha sound, from
Eastern Oregon, from the Middle West,
from everywhere, in our midst and our
board is reoeiving four times as many
calls in the last few. weeks aa it ever
has beforeV ( " ' , ' ' '
Mr. Walpole told of a new . lodging
house where rooms can ba had by the
week for 76 cents. This place, though
recently started, already has 300 lodgers
nightly, and tha - proprietor ; stated to
Mr. Walpole that ha could, use much
more room if he had it: This condi
tion is prevalent In every rooming house
In the north end. and by day and by night
tha thoroughfares near Burnslda street
are crowded with idle, listless, money
less men seetungtrneap pieasura ana
free meals.. ,
Advices from Seattle state that that
city ia filled with throngs of 4dla maai
that a wave of unemployed from Alaska
has mingled with a wave of unemployed
from the, East, and tha reault has been
a complete annihilation of wag sched
ules." Union have lost their fight for
better wages-and in several cases em
ployers needing 100 men found them in
a few hours, -One contractor, in ad
vertising for 60 men, received mora than
500 applications for positions, at any
Price. .
The conditions on the sound nave
grown so; hard that- floods, of hoboes
and other idle men are streaming to
wards Portland, and the charitable or
ganlsatlona of tha city are ; receiving
many demands from this floating, worth
less class. In addition to tha Northern
flood, is tha aurga back from the South,
California has so long been a winter
hobo paradise that the citizens of tha
state have taken . forceful measures to
protect themselves, and tha tramp finds
scant picking within the bounds of the
long state, so he and hla thousands of
comrades from over the country work
north and land in Portland to try tha
noted generosity of this 'rity.
For Portland is termed "easy" by tha
world of , graft ., Yesterday three al
leged Tegg" men were arreated at the
Union depot by Officer Wllaon. Nightly
arrests have been made in tha railroad
yards, and in almost every caaa tb Vic-,
tlm has-expressed his surprise that the
officers - troubled him: ' ':' '
"We'sa thot de town was er cinch,"
was tha general . complaint,
The city board Is striving to make It
interesting for the tramp who neither
works nor leavea town, but merely-begs
and steals.. A hundred thousand little
yellow ticketa have been distributed over
the city to business houses with tbe re
quest that those asking alms be given
a ticket and sent to tha board. 'The sec
retary examines tha applloant, and af
ter IS years of work among tha poor ha
has a sufficient experience to detect the
deserving, and In most cases the order
goes forth for the man with a tale of
woe to visit the. wood pile. The board
has a small pile of wood In tha cellar
to serve aa a barrier to the hungry floods
that descendV upon; lt,land hera tha; man
without a Job can secure a. bed by two
hours' work. f For those who wish meats
an hour's work la afforded and while
the pllai laata Vagrants cart Bleep and
eat with Ave hours" work a day , i
"Some l: of them - stay-with tts two
days," said Mr. Walpole, 'but most of
; " When a man's work Is imitated it
is a sign that tbe imitator thinks pret
- ty highly of the originator and wishes
to share his success by humbugging
the public."
