OPPOSE TWO HQURS CLOSING , x:; - 1 1 Mayor Williams Leads Fiht for . sists -That Regulations Give the People Some degree of relief Is In sight for the thousands f people who are dally , held up at the drawbridges -across the Willamette river. - Whether this will be by devoting the 'bridges an hour morning and evening to the pubtlo use. or by closing the draw for a few min utes after each boat, depends on the conclusion reached by the county court. A committee of those Interested in nav ' igatlon- laid their case before the court yesterday afternoon. A committee rep resenting the east Portland public will present their claim to the court early next week.., f- -. .. :--' There has been a rreat change in the '. attitude of the rlvermen since the be ginning of the agitation for closing the - draws an hour - morning and evening. ' -They not only-concede that, there has . been much ground for public complaint against the prevailing methods of steamboat captains, but they admit that . the county court has the power and tbority to apply a remedy. ' Formerly they' were unanimous In the opinion that nothing short of an order from the secretary of war or an act of. congress could dose a drawbridge when a boat .icaptaln - commanded that it should . be - open, and they were emphatic in the de ' mand for a free and unobstructed chan " . nl at -all time -. - v. .. V- . ' . Wo Belaya for fcaall Boats. So determined were tbey to main- - tain this proposition, that small steam boats which could safely run under the . bridges have steadily refused to do so, but have compelled! the bridge tenders to open the draws for them, regardless of-Inconvenience . to the public. On a ' showing i to . that effect yesterday by Jacob Stutsman, engineer on the Burn side street bridge. Judge Webster Issued an emphatic order' that no drawbridge .should hereafter' be wpened for a that could safely Jtf -run under the bridge. T -' - '.; 'v'' ' '''," A meeting of men representing fiver interests was held yesterday afternoon in the office of the Portland Consoli dated Railway company. In response i !! Issued bv H.

' i -.The qrdlnanoe . was offered by - Mr. Jchnabel for discussion, jbut failed to rouse interest, and was passed over almost without comment. It was evl ' 'dent at 'the outset that the rlvermen were upalterably opposed to any prop osition looking to the .closing of the drwi longer than a few minutes at a Una.

Herbert Holman, , secretary - of '.the Kellogg. .Transporta tion eompany. held that If twoyr three boats! were leaving together and were buncked at the draw, all should be al- ; lowed to . pasa through at one opening, but thlsi view was not strongly supported.- . Captain Kmkens and one or two others placed the-mame on drawbridge- .engineers for delays complained ; of by ' the public, alleging that the . brtdgemen did not . use Judgment, but opened -the draws as soon -as captains sounded their whistles.

Wksa tho Captains Waistle. Ur. Newbegln. quoting - familiar complaint ' ; from peopie wno are bridged" in thesstreet cars, declared that "boat captains coming down' the river whistle at Oregon City for the Madison street bridge, .and at Astoria for the steel bridge." . Many of the- captains who spoke ad mitted there had been gross . abuses of the drawbridge privileges .by -masters and pilots. One declared that a mas ter who would refuse to run under a bridge , when he could safely do so should be discharged by the owner. tlsens representatives re called the fact ths$ no master had ever been dismissed, and the tjMtlmony of Engineer Stutsman before udge Web ster showed that masters and pilots of many small steam boats had constant ly been guilty of this offense. Mayor Williams led in the arguments In -opposition to closing the draws an hour morning and evening for, the con venience of the public. He 'said the best plan would be to enforce regula tions by which the draw spans would be closed after the passage of each boat, and asserted that this would not result In delays of more than from throe to Ave minutes for the public .There are different opinions as to the time re quired for opening and closing a draw. ngures mm raise witness. The rlvermen say a draw span la swung in one and a half minutes, and that, including the delay- of clearing tba draw, the opening would not delay the publto more than three to Ave mln ntes. Experiences of those who have watched the proceeding, and those who have waited on the bridge, show that the minimum Urns required is about six minutes and the. average time is considerably longer. The- rlvermen s meeting appointed a committee, consisting of A. B. Graham, Herbert Holman,- J. H. Shaver, R. D. Inman, I J. Wentworth. Captain Pat terson, F.,L Fuller, C. F. Bwigert, E.

D. Inman, who Is, opposed to' closing .ne drawbridges an hoar, on the ground that it will In terfere with: passage of log rafts to the sawmill, presented strong argu ments in support of- his view, and the court showed a disposition to recognise their force. Regarding the other river craft the court did-not intimate what his decision would be. . . . ' nvaisna aauaua. , . . - r- The argument that, -should the draws be kept closed an hour, so many boats would have congregated that it would be necessary to keep the draws open a long" time afterward to let them - all through, and that as a consequence street cars would be thrown out of time, was answered by Mr. Newbegln. He .said, that all the passenger boats leaving at 1 o'clock in the morning should leave . promptly on time, and theyliwould be out of the -way before, the draws' werw closed for the morning hour. He said further- that? the regulations should provide that' no draw should be kept .open longer than ' 10 , minutes, and this 'would dispose of the danger of long -waits to let many boats . pass through at once. .- 'The court suggested that the rlvermen formulate a set of peculations that would represent the most, liberal spirit among them, and make the best possible provision .for public convenience, and submit them to him, so JbaV he might Know in aeiau wnai uiey-are willing to do to abate the drawbridge abuse.

One shed S5x200 feet is erected, and the, other wUl be finished within a few days. One is along the south side of the block, and tbe other Is in tho center, with a driveway between them.

"We want to do what ,1s rifht, and we desire 'the people to give us an opportunity to show them that we will do so. .

EVERYTiliNO FAVORS CONSTRUCTION PLANS Architects Say That Work Being v Done Contemplates Erec tidifof Many-.Honies. v. Portland has entered -on another son of extensive building operational that many believe will equal the work of last year, when about I4.ooo.ooo Was spent in construction of business t) lock a, ho tels, apartment bouses, flats' 'and resi dences. 'Architects say building this year will be largely devoted . to real dences. .. ' They are disposed te take s bright view of the matter, and indorse tbe opin ion that the year wall be a very busy one. Prices of materials are low, and tho ex pec ted Increase of population as a re sult of the exposition js bound to have an early effect IB increased demand for dwellings, Hundreds of people who eorne to tne Faclflo northwest on cheep railroad rates this year with- tho intention of settling will remain in tha city for. a few months or until they can make a thorough investigation of the state and decide upon a permanent location. This will make a stronger demand Ipr houses this .year than ever before. - A large numbercf realdenoea are be ing planned for the various suburbs of the city. Should relief bo secured at the drawbridges across the Willamette river, for people who are engaged in occupations on the west ald.e. there -will be an .immense building boom In east Portland suburbs. ' . , 'acomsg SoasM om West Slda, v There is a continued and increasing scarcity of dwellings on tha wea?lde suitable' to people of moderate , meajia, and no prospect of any extenslvsu.opea- lng of moderate priced suburban - prop erty in this section of the, city. Should the Oregon Traction eonxpanya electric line be built through Batch's gulch this year' a number of desirable residence suburbs will be opened along this road within a 10-minute ride of the, business center. Southern Portland, Fulton park and adjoining additions where there is .much sightly property for desirable Homes on tns west side o ins river, are held back by lack of streets and trans portation facilities that would make this, portion of the city populous. Only a-few notable business Exilian-rs are now projected for. this season, in cluding the six-story structure to be erected by Charles Sweeny, at the comer of Morrison and Seventh streets, tne Elks club house at the corner of Seventh and Stark streets, and the Concordia club house, at the corner of Sixteenth and Morrison streets.

"J "Busy bow but can't ' tell,'' saldf Mr. Hefty, when asked what the year would bring forth. "I believe more work has been started in Portland since "November 1 than there has been in the same months of any year I have known. The prospect looks good for a busy year." Frank P. Allen of Lewis Allen said tha prospect was favorable. It was dull during the fall months, but since Janu ary 1 the Brm had been rushed with . That doesn't prove any th trig, howr ever, as to what kind of a year It will te for building." said Mr. Allen. "It may drop off suddenly and turn out to be a poor year in the building line. But we don't look for that." J.r Jacobberger , said the outlook at thla-ttm'e was about the same as it was a year ago. He . believes it will be busy year in building, but that the work will be mostly residences. William M. Whldden. of Whidden A Lewis, sees" nothing to Indicate that this year will differ from last year In building operations. He says condl tlons are- favorable and the prices of materials average about the. same-. as they did last year. While lumber is a trifle higher, some other things are a little lower. , - , . " I think building operation will keep up strongly this year, but there is ndt as much started now as -there was. at this time last year," said S. K. Maxon. "There are already plenty of men here to do the work. I think tbe prospect is for an oversupply of men. In my Judg ment there' will be a let-up in building in Portland after ihls year particularly of Business buildings. The work this year will be chiefly residence building." PHYSICAL CULTURE ; , HAS SERIOUS ETBACK TT-t-' Judge Hogue's new rule that boys who appear in the police court to answer charges of smoking cigarettes must "throw out their chests" received tern porary ' setbaok'T yesterday from L Wolf, a youth arrested by Patrolman "Qrtf" Roberts. Wolf, said the police man, smoked Cigarettes and visited sa loons. " "Whetf Wolf was taken out of the pris oners' box by Bailiff Oolts he failed to have bis chest expanded. "Throw ou( your chestf 'commanded Judge Hogue. . . Wolf was qual to the occasion, and replied: I can t; I was kicked by horse." The father of the boy denied that his son had ever been Injured by a horse. Judge Hogue voiced tbe opinion that the las bad tried a - frame-up" on him. "Well. I will continue this case for further consideration." the court an nounced. "I don't like these frame- upa." They convey the Idea that some people think the court Is verdant" From tbe aotton of Judge Hogue It ap pears that the physical-culture depart ment of the police court la not to be abandoned until given a thorough trial.
