THE OREGON. DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND. SATURDAY EVENING. DECEMBER 10, lt04. WORKING NOW FOR PUBLIC'S BENEFIT Morrison Street Bridge Will Be Opened to Car Traffic for Christmas Trade. MANY CAUSES GIVEN BY CONTRACTORS FOR DELAY Handsome Waiting Rooms Will Be Welcome Feature of the New Structure. "We are trying to get the draw apan of the Morrison street bridge cloaed In time to accommodate the Christmas hoppers." aatd Frank If. Butler, mana ger of the Pacific Construction company. -The company Is a-few weeks behind but blgh water last spring and a number of additions and changes of plans sre good caim for the delay. We are doing a .careful Job. The work has been carried forward to the preserit stage without killing a man. or even seriously injuring any one." Mr. Batler expects to have the bridge rearlv for street car traffic a day or two before Christmas, and by the first of the year to have It open for pedestrians and teams. All of the machinery for operating the draw span l now here. It consists of gears, wire and three iO horse electric motors one for controll ing the draw, another for the gates, the third In reserve. The machinery is be ing placed aa fast aa It Is unloaded. Driv ing of piling for the east approach will be completed today, and the flooring Is now being plsced. The two east spans are practically done. Block pavement Is being put down, and the sidewalks and railings are already completed. The long protection pier that reaches up and down stream under the draw span Is completed. After the bridge Is opened work will continue for some time. The temporary controller house will be replaced wtth a permanent structure, and waiting rooms for public use will be built at each end of the draw span. "These waiting rooms will be a fea ture of the Morrison street bridge," says Mr. Butler. "They will be provided with toilet rooms, and other conveniences, and will have a seating capacity suffi cient to care for the large crowds that often are obliged to wait at the draw pan In very stormy weather." Application was made to Major Lang fltt to permit navigation to be changed next Monday to the east channel. In or der that the divers msy have uninter rupted acceas to the sunken pier on the west side of the draw. Bemovlng the old piers Is the most tedious part of the reconstruction work. All the stone up per piers have been removed, and the piling and cross-work pulled out or awed to the rock portions next to the river bed, and it Is now necessary to remove those rock piles. The old pier In the east channel has been removed to a depth of IS feet at low water, and this Is regarded as sufficient for safe navigation while the pier In the west channel Is being removed. SERIOUSLY SHOCKED BY THE TELEPHONE Miss Mabel Albright was . seriously Injured yesterday forenoon by receiving sn electric shock while using a tele phone at the office of K. C. Atkins a Co., 1 Front street, where she Is employed. It was feared that she would be perma nently paralysed, but this morning she Is out of danger although very ill. Yesterday morning she stepped to the telephone and the Instant she took down the receiver she turned deathly pale and would have fallen but for asslstsnce given by friends. She waa completely paralysed. A physician waa hastily summoned, and It waa only by prompt and heroic action that her life was saved. As soon as possible she wss taken to her home, 129 Fourteenth street. It Is said that linemen were working on Front street yesterday morning and In some way a telephone wire became crossed with several other heavily charged lines.

While the expense bill has been In creased by the addition of the two far tics, a slight decrease has been made In the heating of the county courthouse by the use of oil Instead of wood. This plsnt Is expected to pay for Itself dur Ing the present winter, and at the pfos ent rste of cost of maintenance It will It cost about 1576 to Install the sys tem, snd for the two months It has been In operation the fuel bill has been 1191. The cost of heating the building with wood averaged about tlT.o a month. Two men operated the wood furnaces; one men can now take cars of the oil burners. WONDERFUL NATURAL BEAUTIES OF THE FAIR Opinions of visitors vary as to the most attractive feature planned for the Lewis and Clark fair Those who have seen American expositions of recent years, while not particularly Impressed by the buildings, are invariably com pelled to praise the natural beauties of the site, the novel experimental gar dens, the unique forestry building and the water front. Among easterners who have visited the grbunds was Edward Burg, president of the Burg Wagon fac tory, one of Iowa's prominent Industries. "It Is impossible to compare an ex position nowadays with any exposition that preceded It," he said. "There is so much progress every year In this country that many new things are al ways to be seen at a large exposition. To me the most Impressive part of the Lewis and Clark exposition will be the view confronting one standing on the northerly point of the high ground and looking toward the Island. Here is the beauty spot) where there are Immense possibilities for pleasing the eye. The experimental gardens are a great novelty, and will be as education to everybody on Oregon's agricultural re sources. The buildings sre artistic, and from present appearances I take It that the Lewis and Clark exposition will rank favorably with any exposition that has been held in this country barring, of course, Chicago and St. Louis. "The substantial nature of the build ings Is rather unusual. I think it will be a great misfortune if some of them sre not left standing, and the beauty of the grounds maintained for some public purpose after the fair is over. This would be a great place for holding Chautauquas, conventions and similar public affairs." CITY EMPLOYES WANT ADDITIONAL WAGES In the action brought by the employes of the Portlsnd water board to collect wages from the city In addition to what was paid them, a motion to make the reply to the plaintiffs more definite snd certain was argued before Judge Oeorge yesterday. The employes claim that under the new charter they cannot be paid less than t2 a day for eight hours' work, but that the city attempted to settle with them at about $0 a month for 12 hours each day. The action Is brought to secure the balance due. According to the argument the out come will depend upon the construction of the new charter and the clause printed at the top of the payroll In small print saying that the employe hsd re ceived the sum set opposite his name In full of the amount due him. H. K. Sar gent, attorney for the employes, stated to the court that the men did not know that clause was there when they signed the payroll. EVAKOXMST COOK WILL BIVO.

THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER AT THE ST.

Against an army of competitors Its superior quality and superb flavor won these distinctions from a committee or experts, who have thus stamped the seal of approbation on this perfect product of the still, ahd given it the right to Its title, the Wo7ld Winner Whiskey.

FREE PUBLICITY A SURPRISE TO ALL Eastern Journals Publish Col umns of Advertising About the Lewis and Clark Fair. PHIL S. BATES FOUND REASON FOR GENEROSITY Exposition Regarded as Means of Opening Up Rich and Undeveloped Country. 'An Oregon man is surprised at the Interest shown throughout the east In the Lewis and Clark exposition. In view of the fact that there has been very little advertising done. In the sense that the Chicago and "St. Louis fairs were advertised, explanation ' Is difficult until vou realixe how the people or our country have come to look upon this exposition." said Phil 8. Bates, editor of the Paclflo Miner, who has returned from a trip to the east. This spirit Is best illustrated Dy tne newspspers. Everywhere tney puDiisn columns and columns of news pertain ing to the exposition without a cent charge. In my tour of the country I found all newspaper managers eager for ny Information pertaining to the ex position and Oregon. They would run cuts and a column or more of an inter view in the largest papers of the coun try as readily as they publish a sensa tional story. They expect no pay on an advertising basis for the space, but give It gladly, with the apparent conviction that the people want it and that they are. further, doing a good aeea ror a most worthy cause. The nation does not view this ex position in the light that it did others of the past," continued Mr. Bates. 'Every one seems to appreciate that the motive of the undertaking is to reveal the Immense resources of ths great northwest. The east as a rule has too many people, and they know taaUM hsTTl west bss not enough. Anything tha can be done In developing a new country, and giving more' prosperous homes to surplus population In congested cen ters Is regarded a work of as great moment to the east as to the west. This. I believe, explains the generous work done in our behalf everywhere. This Is not regarded by the nation as a Port land advertising scheme, but as an effort.lo exploit an undeveloped country. Th1 publicity bureau of the exposi tion was cordially complimented by prominent railroad and newspsper men. a. W. Daniel, general passenger agent of the New Tork Central, said that the matter being sent out from Portland now was the best ever sent from any exposition of the country." Mr. Bates' work was for his own in terests primarily, but he waa given space for Interviews about the exposi tion by all the prominent papers where ever he went. He found the business situation brightening materially every where The Iron and steel Industry Is bristling with prosperity. Manufactur ing concerns for mining and milling ma chinery were crowded with orders. A heavy business Is being done now. and a better one Is sssured for the coming year. All of which, the Portland man predicts, will redound to the sdvantagc of mining and all northwest Industries requiring outside capital. POLICE NET OUT FOR THE UNDESIRABLES Rag, Tag and Bobtail of the City's Population to Be Ar rested Wherever Found. Police Captain Bailey threw a bomb shell Into the ranks of the undesirable persons who Infest the city when he instructed the patrolmen on the second relief to arrest them. "In this city there are a large number of men who do not work," said the cap tain. "Some of them live off the earn ings of fallen women. The list Includes men suspected of many minor offenses. "Never "pass up a man' you know to be living , off the earnings of a woman. You officers know these men. and where they 'hang out.' I charge you to arrest thefn whenever you may meet them." It Is said the order of Captain Bailey is ths logical sequence to the Institu tion of a rockplle by the mayor and city engineer. If the executive board forces Chief of Police Hunt to abolish his "kangaroo court," such characters as come under Captain Bailey's order will find life in Portland thorny. The order came as a complete sur prise to the policemen. Chief Hunt has always refused to have the persons men tioned arrested. He made it plain, how ever, a few days ago thai he Intended holding Captain Bailey responsible for the conduct of ths office during his watch, and it is evident the captain has taken the chief at his word. Special attention of officers was di rected to Varller's liquor house, at Sec ond snd Davis streets, opposite "Liver pool Lls's" dive. MOW ARD TO LEAD WATT. (Joersal S..-Il Service.)
