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.

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.

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.
