BIG HOUSE MAY
' BE OVERTURNED
" These are hours of anxisty for ths
people who reside In the large tenement
house at tha corner of Corbett and Pen
noyer streets, which belongs to-Attorney
J. H. .Middle ton. There are seven
families residing In ths Isrge building,
and the place Is being closely watched
day and night, as there are grave fears
of its collapsing.
It Is s large building, built over the
edge of a gulch. Some of the stilts
which support ths house are 40 feet In
"length. .
'-Recently- the city began to makf s
fill at this point, and tha slope of the
fill runs up part way on the' side of
the house. There is 'great pressure'
from ths tons of earth against tha long
stilts, and gradually they are giving
way. "Every effort la being made to
remedy .' the matter, but braces have
proven of no avail and tamping dirt on
tha opposite side from the fill seems
to have little or no effect , Slowly but
surely ths weight Is carrying ths house
over. -
.Ths elty engineer's office Is- closely
guarding the place, and If there aeema
to be any Immediate danger the seven
families will be notified to get out of
the-house-atonce.Anolher effort to
save the place is to be made by filling
in on the opposite alda from that In
which the regular fill Is being made.

Washington has promptly responded
to Portland's protest with reference
the existing contract between the Pan
ama Canal Ball way company and th
Pacific Mail Steamship company. Pres
Ident W. J. Burns of the Portland chain
br of commerce this morning; received
tha following telegram from ths United
States Panama canal commission:
"Washington, IX C. Aug. 10. W.
Burns, Prealdent Chsmber of Commerce,
Portland, Or.: As the Panama railroad
Is noC yet under governmental control
the contract In question cannot now ba
terminated. ' Tha Isthmian csnal com
mission will regulate tha policy of the
railroad when they are constituted
majority of the board of directors by
ths election to be held on the first Mon
day In April next, after which due no
tice win be given all psrtles in inter
est with a view of termination. -
TV J.. MURPHY, Secretary."
Ths matter will rest at thta stage.
but will be closely watched by Port
land commercial bodies and business
men, a large element of whom are di
rectly Interested In the opening of the
Panama canal transportation to lines
entirely Independent of-the Pacific Wail
which In conjunction with the Harrlman
tinea of railway has controlled trans
conation' across tha Isthmus. A rail'
way. man who Is high In the councils of
eastern finance and railway building op
erations says of tha present situation:
'Remove the Pacific Mall steamship

New York. Aug. 11. In its leading
editorial this morning ths New York Sun
declares flatly for Kooaeve.lt and Fair
banks, snd, announces that It wilt sup
port ths Republican ticket during tfce
coming campaign. This announcement is
mads as if ths Sun thought It were ten
ing something new and surprising. Un
der the late Charles . A. Dank, tha Sun
was radically Democratic and even stood
by Orover Cleveland after fighting bit
terly against the nomination of. "ths
stuffed prophet." aa it termed him. On
Mr. Dana's death, his son. Paul Dana,
took ths editorial .chair, but occupied
It for only a short time.-
Then the paper passed Into ths hands
of J. Plarpont Morgan, whose personal
representative in charge of ths Bun is
W. M. Lfsn, long- connected with that
nswspaper. For several years ths Bun
has been the recognised organ of high
finance, the mirror of Wall street, and.
while ostensibly Independent, Its wools
tendency has been friendly to the Repub
lican party. Therefore Its opsn declaration
for tha party, whose policies It has up
held Is no news. or surprise to New zora.
but rather a matter of course; -
In ths rest of ths country, however,
many persons still Imagine that ths Sun
Is a Democratlo newspaper suddenly
forced by Its convictions Into , tha op-
posits psrty. It. la exactly this effect
that ths Wall street owner of the Sun
desires to produce. The Sun has not
for many years been a Democratlo news-
caper.
A portion or Us editorial announce
ment xouows;
tothlng has seme from ' Judy
Parker's Hps or pen to indicate that he
possesses a single political Idea mark
ing him aa a statesman of Independent
Initiative, of courage superior to ths St.
Louis brand, of stature to command and
lead.
"As the case is now made up we pre
fer the impulsive candidate to a mildly
conservative. . temporising opportunist
representative of ths Hun vote In the
background. We have more faith In the
distinct promises of the Chicago plat
form, not Ignoring the many serious de
fects of that document, than ws have in
the miserable hell-broth of dishwater
and dynamite, concocted at St, Louis a
month ago by a party afraid to renounce
Its criminal follies, and tasted yesterday
at Eaopus by the respectable candidate
who declares with gusto that Its flavor
is admirable. ' We shall therefore ad
ocate the election of "Roosevslt and
Fairbanks, , and advise ' the ' defeat ef
Parker and Davis, preserving our own
absolute Independence of organlo con
trol, and our freedom of Judgment as to
every specific question occurring. And
may Honorable Theodore Roosevelt's
present mood continue, and If he is
elected may the discourager of "precipi
tancy stand always at his elbow." .

United States engineers completed the
survey yesterdsy afternoon of Hunter's
bar and report that the shoalest point
they found showed a depth of 21 feet of
water. Consequently they state that
there will have to be very little dredging
done In that locality.-- A map showing
ths vsrlous stages of water all over ths
bar was completed this morning. To
day the surveying party moved down to
Doublebower's to continue sounding
operations. From there the engineers go
to Slaughter's bar, where the work for
the time will be concluded. . ;
