V Consideration of Proposal
From Hood of Skibo.
J Pendleton, Or., July, I. To the BJdi-
tor of The Journal There appeared In
your Issue . of yesterday a news item
which presents a situation requiring
r public discussion. If not rebuke, - as
touching the attitude of the regent of
the state university tn tne matter of the
J Carnegie foundation fund, so-called. The
- aruy,o rerera to .too- presence tn.
v state of a man bearing the name I
i Prltchett, who cornea as a repreaenta-
T tlve of such fund, and his suggestion
that the university should be located In
" fontanel. - .
Whn nr what Trchfttt Is denotes lit
tie. Ha l. Tirnbahlv a worthv individual.
but in his position as Carnegie' man he
'Is not entitled to particular attention.
Hta opinion as to the proper- location
of the university Is not likely to Influence-
the view of any citizen. Most
men familiar with the situation In Ore
gon are satisfied, and Eugene Is not in
tiangrer of losing the institution.
The vital ; questions 1 presented are
r whether or not the board of regent of
the university shall be permitted to
- prostitute Uie atate and the institution
before the altar Of Carnegie's gold;
whetner or not the Instructor there
shall become pensioners of the Lulru
r. of Kkibo; whether or hot the school
shall become the silent supporter of a
. discredited business system because the
i mussie of future reward is upon its
S teachers. '
To any such proposal permit tne as a
private citlsen of the state, yet with
pride and hope of it future, to register
J a protest in aa vigorous language as I
; can command, and with such publicity
f as the press of the atate can give. In
1 the name of Independence and that
.common justice which is the foundation
of hope to the common people I pro
J pound the question to the manhood and
? womanhood of Oregon, are you Willing
. that this commonwealth of which you
I are a part shall become an educational
I invertebrate, and that the regents of
t your chief educational institution shall
;'. make their charge pawn in the game
of dollars. w
' I know the people of Orgon. I have
f moved among them, addressed them
ll upon public platforms and met them in
' their homos for nearly two decades,
. and I believe them too Independent to
t sanction any such proceeding. - They
' ' will never willingly bow before Andrew
J. Carnegie or any of Til claw." Oregon
i is able and willing to pay to the teach-
era of its yoftth reasonable salaries, and
If her citizenship 1 . Inspired with, pride
j, and self-reliance too great to permit
. the work of the schools to be shadowed
with the memory of the Homestead
'I' riots or tarnished with any Carnegie
, association. If the future of the com
, mon wealth shall be safe, the men who
if' train Its youth muwt be free to condemn
. the attainment of wealth by method
'.which speak in vivid picture when the
I ; names of .Carnegie, Rockefeller and
uomj are mentioned. .
The record of a teacher llfework ara
J not written in house or land or -doV
i lars, bufc in the heartbeat of the nation,
j- in the pulsing Womb-of the future. God
" would pity the memory jof Mark Hop
I kins, Thomas Arnold and Mary Lyon if
I ever them there - rested the pall of a
i' Carnegie pension. If the Pittsburg Iron
i klnj has -wealth to distribute let him
'f return it to the men who in the heat
f and noise of hi mill gave their years
.5 and strength to make It for him, and to
tne government wmcn tnrew anout mm
that unusual and unnatural protection
J; which made his fabulous profit poasl
ble; but in the name of every hope and
r an tne future let u Keep our state in
i stltutions fre from obligation to him.
J' One college, private In it character,
. , of which I am one of the trustees,
ha -accepted the Carnegie bounty, con-J-
trary to my Judgment and -against my
wiil, but never before had I supposed
Jtthat there was any danger that thia sys
Iytem would attempt to touch the atate
institutions, and I hope the regent will
I' withdraw their application now. Let
J, m appeal to the Spirit of the common
j wealth, to the thoughtful citizenship
of Ore iron, to protest against this threat
. cned danger to the independence of our
j, schools, against this making the atate
l a mendicant, against a pension system
.- which can only mean the closing of the
lips xt the . faculty of . tha -Oatitution
, ' agalnpt business abuses which are the

In many ways the new Madison street
structure will be built along novel lines.
Most unique will be the method of first

Each will be from 209 to 260 feet in
length and all will be set on solid con
crete pier settled in a serie of pile
under, the river bed. , B i
Over all, the new bridge will be 63
feet in width and different from - tho
usual construction in that the track
way and sidewalks on each side will
extend out from the main body of the
structure, while the roadway will occu
py the middle space between the. sup
porting grirders and upright. - Tha cen
ter roadway will be 20 feet wide, each
of the street railway sections 11 feet
and each of the sidewalks T feet in
width; .. The roadway will be plentifully
wide for all vehicle to pass and to take
eare of ail wagon traf fie. - Only street
cars will be allowed on the spaces re
served for the street railway tracks,
and there will therefor be no necessity
for delay on the bridge, except when It

The lift machinery will be operated
by electricity and one clause of the con
tract between the engineering company
and the city I that the bridge may be
lowered or raised in SO seconds. -Counter
weights will take the great weight
of the span off the machinery and will
make only a . small amount of power
necessary for the operation of the lift ,
All of the machinery and appliance
on the lift will be automatic. It will
be impossible for the span to fall, be
cause of automatic clutches, such as are
used on many elevators, and automatic
levers will control the aupply of elec
tricity, so that when the span reaches
its proper position, either up or down,
the current will be shut off. All the

HILL SEEKING . v
TO INVADE RICH
. : HARRIMAiJ FIELD
I RnArlat Tifonatrh 4a' Tha Journal.)
The' Dalles. Or.. July 28. That James
3. Hill is seeking a route to San Fran
claoo seems to oe the most probable
reason for th 'activity la central Ore
gon, and for the massing of men and
material south of this city to . begin
construction as soon as possible." Rail-
roaa activity is always surrounusu ur
mystery deen and Prolonged, and it ia
almost impossible to secure ' reliable
information until right-of-way haa been
secured and preliminary arrangements
made for actual work.- . .
Hill has never been abl to extend
his lines to San Francisco. While he
ha held In his hand a large and rich
territory aloha the northern Dart of
tne unitea states fie naa never seen
able to break into th rich field held
by Harrlman. conslstlna of Orearon and
California. The first move along this
line was the construction of the North
Bank -roatt from- BJueria ,io Portland.
with the apparent intention of connect
ing it up witn a line across tne moun
tains tn . MiaamilA .- NnhAnf aver
dreamed that Hill would build a road
like the North Bank and alolw.lt to
remain mm a. branch, when he had sur
veyed a doaen lines across the moun
tains and had built as far as n could
toward the rocky mountaina along th
north fork of th Clearwater river.
Weed tisk Ores Bitter Boots.
With but a short link to be Tullt
along" the Lo Ia pass. Hill can connect
the Northern Pacific at Missoula with
the Northern Pacific at Stitea, and then
he ha a water grade to Portland. By
bridging the Columbia at The Dalles he
could drive a line south into central
Oregon, . thence to northern California
and finally to San . Francisco, giving
direct connection over his own rails to
the Golden Gate. Practically every
mile of the road would open new coun
try, a feature not to be overlooked when
discussing Hill and hi railroad con
struction Ideas, i Hill has been th path
finder, the pioneer. In new .development
In the northwest, and to hi effort can
b credited much of th wonderful
growth of new territory In sections con-
sldered worthies by other railroad men.
A significant circumstance . can be
connected with th effort of porter
Brother 0 startwork-smith or The
Dalles. Thia contracting firm has done
a great deal of work for Hill and is
established ss one of the concerns that
never . bothers with wildcat schemes.
Somebody has placed money where -It
can be secured by the management of
the contracting company or they would
never rusn men ana material any place.
Being In close relation with the North
ern Pacific and the Great Northern
there Is every reason to believe that
Porter Brothers are now employed by
Hill to conatmct a line in central Ore
gon,, on something of the same plan as

Everybody 'who ha ever rod over
the North Bank realised that the road-
oea - wa constructed for heavy travel,
that the plan waa for, a main line down
the Columbia. . The Hill rnnitniKtinn
ha all been of this character, end th
line . across the Lo Lo paa wll un-
aouDteuiy o constructed on the same
permanent basis. With trse link nn-
necting the Northern Pacific and "-the
nonn xsana f oruana would be placed
on the main line from the east ' A
nrancn eouio? tie diverted to the south
from The Dalles, penetrating central
Oregon, opening up a great new section,
which would be tributary to Portland at
leaat until th line emild be bail to
San Francisco. Naturally the southern
Oregon country has been considered
Ban Francisco territory, and the build
Ing of the line south would be only
giving the Hill lines a competing track
