WILL DEDUD
BRIDGE
Structure Open to Travel at
All Times Object Xow
Sought.
South Portland residents and o good
ly number of business men aro declar
ing that the next bridge to be built
across the Willamette river should be a
hjgh bridge, and should lajid on tho
wet side at Bhrrman street, where na
ture hns furnished approaches. It Is
proposed to hold a mass meeting, frame
a definite proposition and enter upon a
campaign for location at that point of
a great cantilever euspension bridge, to
cost upward of $ l.inu,U"ii and to he
fdaced ut a height that will char Hhln
ng and be no obstruction to navigation.
"The people, .are tired of tin-He pon
toon bridges that have to ho opened
every tlmo a boat passes up or down
the river, obstructing traffic both over
and under the bridges, and constituting
a general nuisance to everybody," mala
Mark O'Neill, an attorney residing In
the south part of the city.
"What this city should have now Is
at least one genuine, first class thor
oughfare across the Willamette river
that would at all times be an open and
unobstructed highway lor the people
to pass back aiul forth and at the pane)
time leave the harbor clear for all boats,
ships and every kind of navigation
'It Is time Portland awoke to ttu
actual situation with regard to firm)
bridges, and It Is time to do something
Iwtler and more progressive than we
have been doing In tho past. Nature
has provided the place for a high bridge
across the Willamette river, and such
a bridge as we propose would be of
real- benefit to everybody In rhln city
and to all navigation intercuts as well."

URGE LAND DEAL
P. 0. Carlson and J. A. Kail
strom Briiitf Suit Against
E. P. Frebble.
E. P. Prebble, who has extensive busi
ness Interests in Portland and Vancou
ver, Wash., Is charged with the fraudu
lent conversion of over $12,000 In a suit
filed In the circuit court by P. G. Carl
con and J- A. Kallstrom. The case Is
the outgrowth of two big land deals
In which Prebble Is alleged to have been
on the inside, deceiving the men who
were partners with him In the transac
tions. In one of the deals the land was sold
by the Hawthorne estate to Prebble.
Carlson and Kallstrom. The two last
named say that Prebble represented
that the land, consisting of 160 acres In
Columbia county, would cost $15,000
and between them they raised and paid
over $1 2, 332. 95. Prebble agreeing to pay
tne remainder. it is alleged that the
land cost only $5,000 and that Prebble
pocketed the difference" between that
sum and the amount they paid, or $7,-832.H5.
H. F. Iieese Is also unfavorably men
tioned In this deal. The plaintiffs say
that Reeso was represented to them ti)
stand in a confidential relation to the
Hawthorne estate and 11,000 of the
purchase price was paid to him. It is
alleged that Reeso had no such confi
dential relationship nnd that he was
only working for Prebble to help carry
through the deal.
Tin' other transaction on which the
suit is based involves the sale of 610
acres of land, also In Columbia county.
It is alleged that Prebble represented
that he, K. J. liurdlck and 8. Pan wero
owners of the tract and that It was on
tho market for $7n. 000. Prebble bar
gained with Carlson nnd Kallstrom to
and others are taking an active Inter-I'""' '" '-mil. it Is charged, he to pay
est In the movement for a modern "eight-twentieths of the cost and thev
bridge at a point far enough south to 1 the remainder In e.jual parts. They paid,'
make a feasible approach to the west j $-1.0uO. according to their complaint,

of the land was only $5(5.000 that Preh- 1
bio paid nothing and that only $ 1 6,000 '
was applied to the purchase, leaving a
$5,000 "rake off" for Prebble.
Hecause of the alleged fraud and tit.
oeptlon practiced in the two deals, I'.irl.j
son and Kallstrom ask judgment for
$ 12.3.12.1'5. i

products to Portland. The melons and
fruit are allowed to stand In the

(I'tdtfd Pres Leased Wire. I
San Francisco, Aug. 7. Dr. A. Rosen,
Russian political fugitive, who ar-
i rived bore on the liner Siberia Satur
day, and after beln held in quarantine
as a trachoma suspect was released, was
iifrain taken Into cnstVly by the quar
antine officers today and will be sent
back on the next steamer to his native
country. A second examination re
vealed that his eyes are affected with
the disease. When the man learned
his fate today his grief was pitiful.
Fearing the wrath of the czar, who had
become incensed by his revolutionary
preachings, I)r. Rosen fled all the way
across Siberia, pursued by agents of the
government. With him wero his wife
and children. By sheer good fortuna
they eluded tbj Russian police and es
caped Into China, whence they boarded
the first vessel for America. Either on
the ship or while waiting for the Si
beria to sail In China the doctor con
tracted a case of the dreaded Asiatic
afTection of the eyes, and this misfor
tune has now deprived him of his only
hope of salvation from the terrors of
an exile's life in Siberia.
