THE CONSTRUCTION OF
BIG INTERSTATE SPAN
County Commissioners' Put
Names to Agreement With
Waddell & Harrington.
The formal contract between Mult
nomah county and the firjn of Waddell
&. Harrington, which is to plan and su
pervise the construction of tae new in
terstate bridge, across the Columbia
river, was signed yesterday by Commis
sioners Holman and Lightner, repre
senting Multnomah county, and John
Lyle Harrington, representing the en
gineering firm..
Commissioner Hart was not present
when the contract was signed, having
gone home early in the afternoon on
the plea of illness at home. During
the consideration of applicants for the
position of engineer it is reported that
Commissioner Hart announced that he
had been improperlly approached by
three applicants whose names he did not
give. For this reason it Is surmised
Mr. Hart was unwilling to sign the
contract.
Four copies of the contract have been
forwarded to Governor West, ex-officio
chairman of the commission, for his
signature. , On return they will be sent
to Vancouver for signature by the coun
ty court of Clarke county.
According to the terms of the con
tract the engineering firm, is to receive
a fee equal to five per cent of the
total cost of the cpmpleted structure,
three per cent of which Is to be paid at
the time contracts are let, and the re
maining two per cent to be paid in in
stallments ratably as the contract price
is paid. i
Waddell it Harrington are to furnish
a 850,000 bond to guarantee the satis
factory working of the bridge, for two
years, to protect against the infringe
merit of patents and to faithfully carry
out their contract.
The contract is to become null and
void should the bonds voted for the
erection of the bridge be declared in
valid by the courts of last resort, but
the county! whose bonds1 have been de
clared void shall pay the engineers for
all expenses incurred up to the time
the contract: is annulled, plus 25 per
ceht.
Should the bonds of both counties be
declared in'valid, the ' engineers an
nounced themselves as willing to take
a chance on seurig expenses from the
two counties.
Should the contract be annulled by
the invalidity of the bonds the coun
ties are to do alt In their power to
validate the issue or issues, in which
event the contract shall become in full
force and effect again.

(Salem Bureau of The Journal.)
Salem. Or.. Jan. 1. Suit to replevin
from the state treasurer the 8000
school fund notes, which the state
land board has demanded should be
turned over to the clerk of the board
as the legal custodian, was filed In the
circuit court here yesterday afternoon.
the suit was filed by District Attor
ney E. R. Rlngo, acting for G. G.
Brown, clerk of the board. Trie 8000
notes represent loans aggregating

RAINS
Railroad Expects, Howeyer,
to Break Blockade by
, Tonight. .
It was a lonely place around the
Union station this morning, with not a
single Southern Pacific train pulling in
from south of the Slskiyous. Storms
and floods between Slsson and Red
Bluff and throughout the Sacramento
valley had caused such extensive wash
outs that such a thing as railway traffic
was out OT the question.
General Superintendent D. W. Camp
bell was Informed of the condition and
made every effort to have the tracks In
his district ready to care for traffic
when U should break through the storm
belt and General " Passenger Agent John
M. Scott received telegramB from Pas
senger Traffic Manager Charles 8. Fee
to be ready to take cafe of passengers.
And so the ctub train from Ashland
was the only one that arrived from the
south. Lite reports indicated that -the
track is clear between- Dunsmulr 'and
Slsson and the Motion washout would
be repaired early in the day. The
Shasta limited, due at 2:30 p. m., was
slated to arrive at Ashland at 9:30 to
night, which means that it will reach
Portland early tomorrow. The O.-W. R
& N. train-for Seattle, which usually
picks up the Southern Pacific's Shasta
equipment, went as usual without wait
lng for the connection, putting a parlor
car on instead of the usual sleepers and
observation car. ;
It was said atiMr. Campbell's office
this morning that prospects were for a
complete cleanup! of th track trouble
by tonight.
