POOR VORK YEARS

Architect- and -Superintendent
of Construction Both Say
. Collapse ". was Unforeseen
.-. and . Entirely Unavoidable.

Perectlrs brick and the poor worm
ot i briclclavar 20 years aco is J
clard by K B. MacNaughton, architect,
1 who has directed the work of remodel
? Ins the Marquam building, as the cause
I of the-collapse of parts of . the Sixth
f .street aide wall thia morning'.
; "Some bricklayer'! bum Job, 80, years
j ago, is probably responsible," aald Mr.
jf MacNaughton. "That, and the very poor
quality of the briok used in the build-
t log. ' ' ': ..
I , "Aa the work of remodeling the War-
. justa bad gone forward, we have been
astotoded at. the poor quality of brick
used in it, . The brick, Z understand,
I came from iZr. Marquam' own brick
yard, . but ,Jt waa not suitable for' use
in .a. b'.f bml4nff. 4 .
.: iur invfatl&ations show that toe
collapse apparently was caused by soma
J aoft brkk Jn,tl?a brick pier that first
iruve way, at about the fourth floor.
'The first break evidently came there.
Bo far as our investigations show, the
i underpinning and foundation were all
ft right . All through the work we hav
t taken the greatest possible precautions,
I and made testa daily to sea that there
i was no settling." i -
'i In a formal statement, Jtfr. , Mac-
S " Nauthton said: f . '
Enpports Sot at JTatflt,
; The first accident to the Marauam
I building on the Sixth street aide occurred
on one pier, being the second one from tha
j Belling buiWing.v About 4 o'clock a. m.
the old brick under this pier crushed
I and settled into -the basement of th4
building. ' From a close examination of
I the building n develops thatnone 'ot
these supports r underpinning was at
I fault, but that tha accident must have
I oocurred from tha condition of the
i brickwork in thia pier at probably about
j the fourth floor level. ; ,, ; ' j
3 ' 'This underpinning has been a dlffl
l cult piece of work. Readings were taken
' dally by Surveyor Qreenleaf of all the
piers of the building. The greatest fcsra
? has been exercised throughout in putting
i m tne piers, and every precaution has
4 been taken by the contractors. This ac-
S cident waa something unforeseen, the
f fcrick in the piers probably being soft at
i about the fourth floor level.
J "It is extremely fortunate that the ao-
cident occurred the time that it did,
when nobody was working on the Job
ana no one nas been hurt. The condition
I of the. Marquam building is such that
t tha damage ia iaolated, and- the damage
J Is only to this one pier and adjacent
i brickwork, ?. "
I , Ha Ona to Blame. . ..4
- f 'The underpinning which was in prog-
, ress has been Just about completed, only
i -about 26 feet remaining to be under
pinned, and this would have been in
t place by Monday evening had not this
I accident occurred.
I "The second collapse at 11 o'clock waa
I really a blessing, for it removed all
atrald from the rest of the wall and
I cleared away material that would have
i had to be removed, 1 .
: The balance bf tha building is thor-
oughly braced, and all of the rest of the
tinderpinnlng is in place and completed.
As a matter of extreme precaution, al
I though there la probably no danger from
this wall, it will be braced to the Bell
ing Duimmg. ,
"The .contractor and all concerned
have taken the greatest nrecautiona
-throughout the workTand no one la to
blanie, it being one of those things that
cannot be foreseen, and Is therefore un
avoidable. -t Collapse Waa VnavoidaMa,
J, M, Dougan of the Sound Construc
tion & Engineering company, the con
tractors, made this statement:
. "As far as we can ? th mmit
J was caused by the crushing and settling
, the brkk work in the second pier
from the alley, on the Sixth street side.
I The underpinning on this portion of
the building was practically completed.
1 there being only about 25 feet to com
J plete. The work that has been replaced
In the piers is of steel and concrete
J construction and a two foot cushion of
t. paving brick has been placed on these
at about the second floor level and th
f crushing of the brick occurred in the
J old brick work at about the fourth floor

J. and could not be helped. It waa abso-
4utaly-nnave4daber- JThere -ta norfltragef
la going ahead with putting the bulld

matter of about 10 drrys until the dam-
age lias been repaired. - '--
-The construction of the building-is
such that there Is only a portion of
one unit of tha building afiecUd. as
all of the underpinning of the rest of
the building has been completed." -

once that the second collapse was really
a blessing; and that it removed tha last
element Ot danger to the- rest of ttoa
building.
'It has removed the strain from the
wall of the corner tower at Sixth and
Morrison streets,' said Mr, MacNaugh
ton, "and brought down -everything that
was weakened by the first collapse. It
has carried away ft clean strip from, tha
first floor up to tha .roof, and there is
no strain anywhere. All this part of
the wall and the brick supporting col--
umns In it would have had to be torn
down anyway, a work which , would
have been dangerous to the workmen.
It could not have happened better for

. Xest of Building Safe.
"Alt that will bava to be done now is
to rebuild the wall. It will rest from
the first on the steel columns put la on
the first floor, and will be a very simple
construction task."
Mr. MacNaughton declared there is
absolutely no danger to the rest of the
building.- In this he Is backed by R. E.
Kraemer, chief inspector of construc
tion for the city. Mr. Kraemer made a
thorough inspection of the building.
early thia morning after the first sec
tion of tha wall had fallen.
"I don't consider the architect or the
contractor at all to blame," he said.
"They have done sJJ that was-possible.
It was an accident that could not be
foreseen and impossible to prevent, and
It does not in any way involve tha safe
ty of tha building.
"The peculiar construction of the
Marquam building Insures the safety, of
the rest of the structure, even if the
entire east side on Sixth street should
fall out ' The building ia criss-crossed
with heavy brick supporting walls, mak
ing each section almost a separate build
ing in Itself. These heavy walls save

and localise the damage to a single unit
, Can Bebulld VTHU.
"The wall can easily be rebuilt and
made much safer than ever. No other
building in town is constructed in this
respect Just like the Marauam build
ing. The builder was an army en
gineer, and the same man who built the
famous old' Palace hotel In San Fran
cisco, which, like the Marquam building,
was a brick structure.
"This engineer put up the building In
units, that Can be better compared to
the water tight compartments in a
modern steamship than anything else.
These compartments are formed by
solid brick walls that cross the build
ing every li feet in both wings.
"The collapse of the outer wall and
off Ices on tha Sixth street side extended
back only to the first of these compart
ment walls. Sixteen feet behind that
is another similar wall, which the ar
chitect says absolutely Insures tha sta
bility of the structure.
"For three months the work of placing
steel supporting columns under the
Marquam building, each resting on a
firm-ooncreta formdationr had beea hr
progress. All this work had been com
pleted except for a 25 foot section along
Sixth atreet, where wooden underpin
ning was temporarily in place,. It was
directly, over this pinning that the first
break occurred."
The remodeled building was to have
been turned over to the Northwestern
Fidelity company on December 15, and
the last Steel column would have been
in place by next Monday.

Oovernors Proclamation Bead.
At the conclusion of his speech, Sec
retary S. B. Vincent read Governor
West's recent proclamation, making to
day "Horn Industries day" in Oregon,
and In which tha state's chief executive
called on the citizens to demand made in
Oregon goods and cooperate In enlarging
the market for such goods. Then
followed the reading of the proclamation
Issued by Mayor Rushlight to the same
effect and addressed to the cltlxena of
Oregon.
Josph N. TsaV representing! -tha gov
ernor, was the next speaker. He con
veyed a message to the effect that Gov
ernor West stands ready to aid in
every way Oregon manufacturers.
D. Soils Cohen, speaking for the
mayor, gave the same pledge, and said
In part:
"Manufacturers' organizations are of
most importance in benefiting the state.
For almost 20 years the manufacturers
of Oregon have been working to educate
the peopla to the need of protecting
their own home industries. You have
been struggling against great odds In a
community that in a degree is ungrate
ful. The warehouses, docks and stores
I consider aa stones in a monument to
the manufacturers.
Much Coin Sent East.
"And j et the local stores do not try to
push made In Oregon goods. The fam
ilies who make their living In our fac
tories as a general thing do not insist
on the purchase of goods made In Ore
gon. Hundreds of thousands of dollars
are sent east for goods made outside the
state when articles as good and better
and no dearer are made In Oregon."
Mr. Cohen was followed by A. H.
Devers, who in discussing his topic, "The
Manufacturers' Association," reviewed
its history, from its organisation 18
years ago, and advocated the land and
money bonus system to attract new fac
tories. This system, he said, has proved
a good investment as far as It has been
pursued. He also took a firm stand for
a campaign of education, and suggested
advertising in various forms, Including
fairs, street displays, and general pub
licity. Would Advertise to World.
B. W. Raymond, chairman of the Man
ufacturers' committee of the Chamber
of Commerce, chose for his subject "Ef
ficiency in Manufacturing." During tne
course of his remarks he declared the
efficiency of workmen in various crafts
In Portland was from 17 per cent to 20

These figures, he said, were arrived at
