The Jackson Bottom bridge was closed to the public on Tuesday, and will remain closed for about three week. Supervisor Kelsay and a gang; of men have been re pairing the Minto bridge, over which travel will have to be made until the Jackson Bottom bridge is completed. Mr. Kelsay informs us that the Minto bridge is perfectly safe for ordinary travel, but says traction eugiues should not attempt to cross. Piling on the Jackson Bottom bridge will be completed this week when the caps will be placed on and flooring laid. This bridge when finished will be more than 4,000 feet long, and a trip there will show the immense amount of work required to build the structure. The 8treet Car Line. Fraiu the Portland Journal. The last of the frog crossings over the lines of the Portland Con solidated was put in Saturday by the Oregon Traction company, at Pettygrove and Twenty-fifth streets, in construction of its line from Portland to Forest Grove. A dou ble track of standard gauge line of 60 pound rails has been laid on Twelfth street and construction work is under way on Pettygrove, but is held back by delay in a ship ment of rails which is expected early this week, after which track- laying will be pushed. Edward Records, the contractor, is here and has about 150 men on track work. Construction of the high trestle across Baku's gulch and grading on the route through the canyon will be commenced early in September. It is said the line will le completed and in op eration from the foot of Stark street to Mount Calvary cemetery shortly after the first of the year. Next season construction of the road will be completed to Hillsboro and For est Grove. It is the intention to run a five- minute car service between Willam ette Heights and Front street and a fifteen-minute service between the Front street terminus and the top of the hill. The road when completed to Forest Grove will run through the richest part of Oregon. It is said Washington county is the oldest settled and most productive region in the state. Portland people have organized a townsite company and acquired about 1,000 acres at Cedar Mills tour miles beyond the ceme tery, and will plat too acres and start a town. The country beyond this point is devoted to diversified farming, dairying and fruit grow ing. ; IIill.lMro, the county seat, has a population of 3,000, which is rapid ly increasing. Many new houses are under construction at Hillsboro and I?orest' Grove. The popula tion of Forest Grove, where is lo cated the Pacific university, has in creased about 100 since the road was first spoken of. Last year nearly 100 residences were built in that city, which has flouring mills, milk condensing plants and other industries, all of them are prosper ous, as has Hillsboro. The princi pal products of the country are hay, hops, grain, potatoes, onions, celery and firewood, and large shipments of these commodities to Portland are expected. Eugene Bosse, the flax expert, suffered his third loss by fire, when his mill and 300 tons of flax were burned Monday night at Salem. It is undoubtedly the work of an incen diary, and there is no clew to the perpetrator of the crime. Mr. Bosse is away from the city and the exact amount of the loss can not be ascertained, but it is esti mated at not less than $11,000, with probably no insurance. The destruction of the mill will serious ly delay if not terminate for the 'time the development ol the flax 1 industry in Oregon. UNIQUE REGATTA. Water and Land Festivities to Be Held at Astoria. The Eleventh Annual Regatta will be held in Astoria August 29, 3oand 31. This intelligence will be gratifying to the psople of Oregon generally because Astoria is truly renowned for its conception of water festivities. The Regatta this year will differ from the last few of its predecessors in that it will be more of a home affair. In the neighborhood of 5,000 was subscribed in a few days by the merchants, citizens and various commercial and fraternal bodies, To facilitate management, the ori ginal committee incorporated under the name of the Astoria company. A number . of minor committees were appointed and upon these has devolved the task of arranging for innumerable features that will be included in the Regatta. There will be races ot 50 kinds, in which the "homers" speaking more par ticularly of the fishermen will have an opportunity to display their prowess; yacht racing, gasoline launch racing, sculls and barges will be scheduled to appear. Especial attention has been paid to having something characteristic of the historical interest which is clustered about the city by the sea Under the auspices of the Redmen a number of functions which will display the aborigine among his proper environs. He will be ruled by Princess Sacajawea, and Lewis and Clark will fotm an interesting supplement to be contingent of In dians, Councils of war, pow-wows and war dances will be held. - Besides many attractions will be offered such as marksmenship con tests, tugs-of-war, log-rolling tests hose races and others too numerable to mention. All railways have made special rates to Astoria for the Regatta and it is expected that thousands will attend. The event this year should receive unusual patronage owing to the fact that there are many strangers in Port land in attendance at the exposi tion. A Change for the Better. To the managers of railroads throughout the United States, much credit should be given for their pro motion of iutegrity and sobriety. A quarter of a century ago, an en gineer could mount his locomotive with a stomach full ot liquor; a bottle in his pocket and take out a train load of passengers, but he does not do so now. The railway offici als would not stand for it. Nor would the order to which most of the locomotive engineers belong. With the passing away of the liquor has gone the surliness of the old time railroader. Temperance has helped men to be more honorable in paying their debts. Many men, who have the drink habit, look up on their bar bill as a debt of honor; while the butcher, the baker and grocer can wait. Railway officials have helped to make their employ ees honest by dropping them from the pay rolls for non-payment of debts. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific has recently issued an or der suspending any employee after his wages have been garnished while the case is pending. ' A sec ond garnishment wtll cause an im mediate dismissal. An order as stringent as this one may some times work a hardship on an hon est man, but it saves many from being dishonest. This rule is ob served on other railroads. Under lying the question of integrity is the idea that men who are harassed by debt are distracted and absent minded, consequently cannot give consecutive thought to their work. The Northwest Lumberman. 30 Beautiful Tlalf-Tone Views of Clatsop Be ach Scenery Free. The Astoria & Columbia River Railroad Co., has just issued a sou venir of Clatsop Beach containing 30 eUlwrate half tones of the prin cipal points ot interest between Portland and Seaside, which will be mailed tree upon application to C. A. Stewart, Agent, 24s Alder St., Portland, or J. C. Maye, G. P. A., Astoria, Ore. ANOTHER STORM IN MINNESOTA TWIN CITIES SUFFER MOST. Many Uvea Leet and Great Deatruo- tlon of Property--Railroaaa Heavily. St. Paul. Minn., Aug. at. De vastation, terrible and complete, was wrought on all sides of the Twin cities by the storm of Sunday night, according to reports just re ceived here. Through all the re gion from Anoka to Fillmore coun ties reports tell of disaster and loss of life and property. , Members of families are missing and it is believed they are buried under the debris, which was strewn broadcast by the wind. Many in stances of maiming are reported and the total loss of life will not be known for some days. Crops which had been cut and were ready for threshing suffered in many places and standing corn was damaged by hail and wind. Hailstones several inches in circum ference worked havoc with the crops in some sections. Large sections of railroad tracks were swept away south of here and the mail trains on certain portions of the Chicago, Milwaukee & .St. Paul road were yesterday on im provised tracks, making slow time on account of the enforced insecur ity of the road-bed. Washouts were numerous, both along the railroads and in the highways, the rainfall being enormous. Iu some of the farming localities the grain was stripped from the stalks, even in the shocks, by the furious wind and rain, and hay stacks were completely demolished. Huge trees which have successful ly withstood the sfa.ms of yeas, were uprooted and hurled before the wind, and barns and other out buildings were completely de stroyed The damage done to buildings and crops in the southern counties will reach many thousands of dol lars, but no accurate estimate can be formed until complete reports are received. All sections report that the storm was cyclonic in its nature and from some points reports tell of a funnel- shaped cloud that descended with the most intense fury, leaving de struction in its path. Gambling and Drink. A boyhood friend of Ed Switzer, of Pendleton who recently awoke bis wife at 4 o'clock in the morning and t gave her a terrible beating, says of him in an at tide to the Ba ker City Maverick. Switzer was arrested for wife-beating and would have been soundly thrashed at the whipping post, only his much abused better-half refused to prose cute him for the crime, but has ap plied for a divorce, and will get it. Here is what Switzer' friend says of the man, and he is evidently a "high roller" himself, but he is ca pable of giving good advice and is above wife-beating, though under stands the terms nsed by all profes sional gamblers: "During the age ot adolescence he was a bright kid, big-hearted, whole souled, a firm friend, a jolly chum, a typical western American boy. His natural bent was toward taking a long chance he was a natural dare devil. I've known him to ride down the 45-degree slant of the school house hill in Pendleton on those old-fashioned high wheeled bicycles, just bcause a dirty faced little urchin said be "dassent" I have known him to fight with a kid twice his size be cause he resented the epithet "cow ardly calf." I've known him to settle a dead-lock in a horse trade by matching dimes for both cay uses. I've known him to back two duces, when 14 years old, for a 200 jack pot and never bat an eye. Here's the secret: He was a nat ural born gambler. It was in bis blood. His life-long passionate hot blooded love was for the fickle young female who is known as the Goddess ot Chance. Fioni the time he was old enough to detect a pair of tens from a bob tailed flush. be worshipped at her shrine. In his callow youth he won steadily, invariably, almost mysteriously. Thus the gambling fever struck deep the virus "took," and re mained with him for always. But, oh, the scar. When "Switch" emerged into Edwin Switzler. Esquire, by virtue of the simultaneous attainment of his majority and a share of the big Switzler estate, the fickle Goddess of Chance wrinkled her forehead with a first frown. The festive tiger, heretofore a docile beast, be gan lashing its tail. The turn somehow came wrong. If Switch played "Double out." If he at tempted a recouping ran acaboo in a poker game, his opponent was sure to get a top hand in the draw. From soda to hook, the Switzer land system wouldn't work out. As a result, in one year he dropped 26,000. He was elected a member of the Pendleton city council because he owned a bunch of Main street brick blocks. Late hours, inevitable drink-for stimulants are as neces sary to the gambler as roast beef to a blacksmith grouchy temper, due to losses over the green cloth the story is easily told. The climax came when "Switch" forgot his manhood and struck his wite. Thereby he took the longest chance of his life. He shut the door of the world against him. My heart goes out to Ed Switzler, for honest ly he is not to blame. He had the making of a fine man in him hon esty, energy, good fellhwship, a big heart and a clear head. But gen tlemen of the jury, once let a chance slip in youth to make ready for lite neglect to direct the current of youthful eneigy and inclinations into the channel of legitimate pro fession, trade or business, and what fellows is explicable. Alxn-e all things else, too, let once the soft, white arms of the fickle goddess en circle the neck; let once the per fumed breath of this Circe of the Hazard fau the lips and its all off with any man. That's straight! I Plve Generations. In the Portland Telegram, of re cent date was printed a photograph showing five generations ot a well known pioneer family of Oregon, the youngest member of which is little Dorris Heater, daughter of the Oregon athlete, Roy Heater, of Newberg. The great-great-grand mother is Mrs. Catherine Hodson, aged 84 years, of Salem, where the photograph was taken; the great- grandmother, Mrs. William Mccor mick, of Laurel; the grandmother, Mrs. Fannie Robtnson, of panning- ton; the mother, Mrs. Roy Heater, Of Newberg The little girl has a good promise of a long lite, as it is striking coincidence that if she had been lrn four days sooner, there would have been five gener ations on .her father's side of the house. Four days before her birth her father's great-grandmother died at the ripe age of 104 years. There's a lot hi"a?li.oo which wear, needs only like new."

A destructive fire starting at Union and Oak streets, In Portland, early Tuesday morning, on the East Side, swept clean two city blocks, and destroyed the street car bridges, tying up traffic. It spread to surrounding blocks, and many buildings were consumed. The fire proved to be the most menacing of the present year. The loss al ready aggregates many thous and of dollars. The fire started in the Iowa Hotel, a frame struc ture, and rapidly spread through out the district, which is largely oc cupied by second-hand stores and shacks, standing on piling founda tions. The road is condemned, pre venting the fire department reach ing all parts of the endangered dis trict. The firemen waded and wallowed through the slough in a desperate effort to protect the struc ture. As the wire of the power companies broke, there were sever al thrilling escapes. Firemen working on the elevated roadways were frequently endangered. By hard work the flames were prevent ed from going west. Buildings were dynamited -to prevent the spreading of the flames. Some of the crews ot the firemen were sub jected to such great heat that brother firemen had to turn water on them. The elevated street col lapsed, taking a crew into the blaz ing piling and muck beneath. At 10 o'clock the blaze was under control, although fresh outbreaks were constantly reported. Among the structures destroyed were the Kadderly-building, a three-story brick building; the Kearns Bros.' block and lodging house; the Air Tight Stove Company, one-story brick : Bailey's paint store, Portland Cement and Tiling Company; Wed der's. Smith's and Hochfield's second-hand stores, and the Iowa res taurant. The loss is pi abed at 87, 5o. Ground Under the Wheels. Florence P. Le Jeune, one of the most popular railroad men on the Rocky mountain division of the Northern Pacific, was ground to pieces by trains some time last Sat urday night near Clinton. The re mains were found Sunday morning scattered . along the track. At least three trains had passed over Le Jeune, he went out Saturday night on a freight, and when his watch was found it had stopped at 12:35. A rumor is cut rent that Le Jeune had been pushed from the freight by hobos whom he had tried to eject. Deceased left a wid ow and one child.

The passenger department of the Southern Pacific'.Company has dis charged five of the oldest passen ger conductors in the service ot the company in Oregon, and the Order of Railway Conductors is making an effort to have the men reinstated. The men who have fallen under the displeasure of Superintendent Buckley are C. S. Skidmore, of the Woodburn branch; Ed Blew, run ning between Roseburg and Ash land; T. W. Garretson, of the West Side and Yamhill divisions; David L. Houston, on the main line, and F. Sperger, of the Wood burn branch. The men have been in the service of the company from 1 5 to 25 years continuously. None of the men will state the nature of the trouble between them and the managemeut, and at the general of fices uo information can be gained as to why the men were let out. The Order of Railway Conductors has taken up the cause of the dis charged men and has appointed a committee to investigate the case and make an effort to have the men placed back on their old runs.
