Franklin was 73 years old. He had a fear of becoming helpless and de pendent. He had tried to purchase car bolic acid In this city, and there lc no doubt that he was mentally deranged.

LENGTH IS 6000 FEET Idea Is to Have Tuamel xrf e Kaon n to Accommodate Cars, Pedestrians, Autos sad Other Vehicles. Now that plans ar being formulated to have Marquam's gulch in South Portland filled and made into a public park, a number of property owners have revived the plan to build a tun nel through Portland Heights to tap the Tualatin valley. They suggest that the tunnel be bull and the gulch filled at the same time, contending that the dirt and material taken from the tunnel could be used In filling the gulch. While those advocating the coupling of the two plans' have done nothing T.hl22,t fotTbor T Tl interested In the plan contend get behind the movement for too bor- that a tnnMl throoBh the hill would In of the tunnel. "Kill two birds with one stoue. Is the slogan of those interested in coup line the two plans. Plan Is JTot Wew. There Is nothing new about boring the tunnel, as It has- been discussed for a half a dosen years or more. Noth ing was ever actually done toward bor ing through the hill, however, other than securing preliminary esi-natej and reports from engineers. The reports were secured by a com mittee appointed June 6, 1911, by Mayor Simon. This committee, ttnown as the West' Side Tunnel and I'.ansit commission, consisted of I. J.ang Henry Hewitt, H. C. Campbell, Oeorge Joseph and George F. Johnson. Newill, Goasett and Walsh, engi neers, made surveys of the proposed project and preliminary estimates of the cost. Before the engineers were selected, however, the cost was rough ly estimated at SI. 000,000, but later this estimate was decreased to 1650,-000. Subscriptions Are Solicited. Thl commission went so far as to even solicit subscriptions for a fund to be used in defraying expenses of a detailed investigation, but nothing waj ever done toward collecting the money. According to the preliminary plans the tunnel would be about 6000 feet long and connect with streets near the head of Marquam's ulch on this side of Portland Heights. The other end of the tunnel would terminate in the Tualatin valley. It was proposed to have this tunnel be of greatest value to the city. Inas much as It would cpen op an entirely new terrttoiy for residential district, on the west side. . With residential districts la the Tualatin valley, the tunnel would shorten the route to and from the city materially. To reach points yi the valley at present it is now necessary to go In a very indirect way but with the tunnel a direct route from the heart of the city to the valley would be secured.
