NOVCRY HOD! OOGU Tackcrs Hear Storm of Pro test and Withdraw From the Field. 3 M .' "Portland ,ba reached a etaa In its 'growth when It U uoMurr to build a subway undsr the. Willamette river ror streetcars, wagon and foot travel, aaia F. X. McKonna. 'Instead of putting- up another " bis brlde a Madison street that would be an obstruction to navt gatlon and a constant aggravation to the traveling publlo that has to cross it, the city and county should put tube undwr the river at that street" McKenna declared the city of Port In ml. If It is going to be the New Tork of the Pacific, must begin to look fur thr ahead into the future and antici pate the city s needs, ins years pass quickly and the city's population and t aanessable property grow enormously every year. The men who are moulding , the city's policies - must grasp ugger i.roblim and handle them with "more diHpatch and 'broader -views -than -are new being exercised in the short-aignteo Diana -to out . more bridges across . the harbor. Mr. IdcKenna said: "Every bridge across the Willamette Mver nas to oe - repiacea pracucsuy every J yearal Its maintenance bill and expense of draw operation mount up to a very large , sum, i nm u u m bridge, has to be divided between the people who cross 1t and those who go through It, and neither Taction is ever satisfied. There Is and always will be a continual .agitation and war ror and against keeping the draw spans' closed during rush hours. . ; " v- Zmperatlve ' Veed Shown. ,. ' Tlioss who "argue ' that the city is not Urge nough to make a subway necessary have only to be answered by rotating to the four big bridges that are already congested during the busy hours of the day, and the clamor for a fifth bridge across' the harbor. "What 'this city ahould have right now is a subway 41 feet wide, providing a double track street railway, a track on each side for wagons and outside of theae a walk for pedestrians. "Such a subway, once built would be there for all time, with little or no expense for maintenance, and no annoy ane to navigation. It would afford more revenue to the city from streetcar operation through it than a bridge could possibly earn. It would yield the city and eounlv a rood return on the In vestment, and be infinitely more useful and satisfactory than even a high bridt-e. i In my ludsment It could be built for about the same money a first claaa brtdara would -cost to carry the same traffic' Business Vadsrtaklag So City. McKenna called attention to the fact that the cltv -of Portland la now in ex cellent condition financially to build a aubway. He thought the aubway could h hull fnr from XfiOO.000 to 11.000.000. As it would earn a revenue, It would be In the nature of a business unaenamnr Tha clt rould under the law bond it self for $13,000,000 if that much money were necessary to carry out puonc im provements, water bonda ao not count against the city in reckoning Its, legal limit of debt, as waterworks are in the class of revenue earners. The city of Portland would not nave to pause on t nt Mint at a. aubwsv. ahould It be thought wise, to build one. Jt Is believed it could be completed within a vmir. at a coat not axceeains ii.vvv.uvv, McKenna believes the tunnel ahould be 40 feet deep at the charfhel for a width of 400 feet and then .slops up- marrt toward each side of the river. Should the river be more than 40 feet deep at the point of crosalng. one or two piers could De put unaer it to sajusi the depth. The subway should be a at) tuba, lined wtith concrete.

What hurts one in-1 rt a n tvt i arm -aTTiTmTTTST terest hurts all,r McKenna declared, "So I Q. & O. I'LlALXL IX Ltl 1 IlXiXb far as my personal interests are con- When tha city council meets this aft ernoon Schwartsschild Sulaburger will withdraw their request for permilalon to operate a packing plant on tha pres ent site of Zimmerman slaughter bouse. This action will pa taken because Of op position developed to the project and because of the uncertainty of, the plans of the packers. ' . The action tnis aitemoon m jeaai means a temporary witnarawai or me new packing house proposition,- but It is believed the company will later make efforts to locate on tne Zimmerman site or secure a location in Or near port land onuallv aultable. Talk or Bcnwartsscnua tsuisour-e-er coins to Tacoma or Seattle is not a-enerally credited, becauae of the-known noetllity of both sound cities to prel ects of this kind. Seattle especially is hosule to packing plants witnin tne citv limits, and as there is no location near by that would be aultable for the Schwartsscniid Huisourger piant it la not believed that the packers will go there. .. .. Just what action will be taken by tne company is uncertain, and because of the lack of advices from the firm s New Tork headquarters, J. & Helsey, repre sent! nar the nackere In Portland, ha stated that nothlnc further will be done bv his company at the present time. He also stated that the ' criticism raised aaalnst the project was 111 advised, and cams from Dereons who are in comnetl' tlon with his company, as wen as rrom earned, it would . helD them to have all navigation and industrial concerns driv en to the lower river, and even to the Columbia river. Tha drift lb toward the Columbia and if the upper harbor is blockaded any lurther by bridges ins main ocean car rying trade of Portland will be oarrled cn from Columbia nver aocas. woen that time comes it is only a step to the Waahlngton side of the Columbia, and that takes the business out of Portland and Oregon. Portland should strive to accommodate its people by makina the two sides of the river one In every way possible. Bridges do not really unite the city, but a subway would." CUSSED NOR PERFUMED A mass meetlns of residents in South Portland and Fulton waa held in Obrlst hall, 110S First street last night to discuss the proposed establishment by lid 'A Sulaburger of slaugh ter house and packing plant In that dis trict. On a final vots requesting Dr. Cottell, councilman from the Fifth ward, to work for the establishment of the plant under proper restriction and government inspection, the resolution was lost on account or a tie vote, wnicn left the matter where it was first, ao far as the meeting was concerned. ; Brealc-Dovn;; j 7 Nerve"; energy; is '.vtHoi ' force, that controls (the' oi ' gans of respiration,' .
