"Tusko died by reason of neg ligence, carelessness and wilful and wanton conduct," Barber charged. The huge creature was taken over, by the city six months ago and placed in a zoo when it was decided he had) become a "public charge." for the present labor situation. but that he did not believe it was . necessary for an outsider to come in to handle a situation with which the county was already coping.

The Port of Portland, meeting today, passed a resolution directing a commit tee to present its objections at tbe hearing. The protest is based chiefly, it was said, on the grounds that the channel of the river is con stantly shifting and that, there fore, bridge peers might eventu ally prove an obstruction to the channel. "Until we know definitely where the channel of the Colum bia river will go," Frank M. War ren, member of tbe board of. the port, said, "I do not think a bridge should be constructed across the Colombia at Astoria. That channel is constantly chang ing and moving. I don't think any one knows where it will be per manently. Shoal areas are shift ing all the time. There will be a great deal of difficulty in solving the channel problem If it is mixed up with a lot ot bridge piers. It's not a matter of considering the clearances of the bridges it's a problem of where the chan nel will be."
