Cost for Bridge at Each of Five Possible Sites Made by Engineer Bowlby Official estimates of tho cost, of son struction of a bridge across the Wil 'aiueito river to connect Marion and i'olk counties and to replace the old structure which has outlived its une fulness uud is in a dangerous condition, havo beeu completed, and u joint moot ing of the county courts of Murioa and i'olk counties will bo held next week, probably Wednesday, to decide upou the class of bridge to bo constructed and the locution of same. The plans are drawn in two classes. Class A includes a 32-foot roadway of sufficient strength to accomodate in terurban traffic, should tho counties decide to permit tho Oregon Electric or some other railroad, to come in, assist with the construction and bear a por tion of the expense. Cluss B includes a 30-foot roadway, without street car tratfic. In ull cases the estimates are made upon a H.j-pound per squaro foot live load basis, wito a concrete floor and wood block paving, The estimates Are made upon the proposition of wfictncr tho bridge is constructed at the foot of one ot the five principal streets of the city, con sidered the most lensible, Marion, ten tcr, ( heiuelicta, Court and State streets being considered the most practicable nnd feasible, us it is not thought prue ticiinle to go further south than State street for the Marion count v approach The State street estimate in based upon the basis of a two-draw bridge, winch will be necessary to confoim to govern ment requirements, and ull of the other estimates are bused upon a ona-druw bridge. If it is decided to adopt the ( lass A bridge, providing for niterur liuu street cur traffic, it will be neces sary to go before the legislature for authority. The estimates for bridges, with ap proaches upon each of the five streets, ns propured by Mute Highway Engineer Howlbv, nro as follows: Marion street Cluss A, 108,430; eln B, IHV':i.

GERMAN Y P 01L-FIELDAS 811 German Influence Succeeds in Sending Turkey Against Russia SULTAN'S TROOPS ARE MARCHING ON BATUM Its Capture Would Give Ger many large Quantities of Badly Needed Oil (By J. W, T. Mason, former Loudon correspondent for the United Press.) New York, Nov. 14. Turkey's first offensive agaiust Russia was revealing itself today in Trans Caucasia. It was apparently in considerable force and indicated that the Oormans were succeeding in their efforts to in duce tho Turks to direct their main campaign against the czar. The Ottoman troops' movement to ward Batum constituted a sudden coun ter offensive which appears to have caught the Russians unprepared. Bnttim is a heavil" fortified seaport, 20 miles from the Turkish frontier, and one of the czar's principal military bases in Trans Caucasia. The Russians had been operating south of it, in the district around Mount Ararat, and seem to have left the northern roadway into their territory practically un guarded. The capture of Batum would bo an important victory for the Turks and a doubly important one for the Hermans, since it is the port for the Iloku oil fields. If a few of Germany's siege guns can be brought to hear against its defenses, it sp edv fall will be in evitable. It Is Unlikely, however, that the Germans have yet been able to send any of theso guns to tho Turks and an assault on the city without them should require considerable time. Germany Must Have It. -Nevertheless it is to Oorniany's in torest to tnko the fortress even at great cost, tinge qunntities of petroleum are stored in Datum nnd this the Herman army needs urgently as fuel for Its military transportation service. Oer man gold hns searched everywhere for tho precious fluid but the supply is far below the demand. Scandinavian and Dutch smugglers had to abandon their traffic in it, on nccount of the allies' threats, nnd the flerinaii army un doubtedly is husbanding every drop it possesses. Hiitmn's capture, however, would re lease large quantities of the fluid for (lerinun use. It could be sent across Turkey without difficulty and no In superable obstacle exists to its passage through tho llulkniis, so long as Bul garia's and Rumanin's peace Is main tained, into Austria-Hungary, For this reason the Turks' Initial of fensive against the Russians is being dictated, from the Oerman standpoint, by economic necessity as well as by military strategy.

WITH BAKU S VAST K JTJST LOANED TO GOD, New York, Nov. 14. Eighty- two carloads of Christmas guts, intended for the children of war stricken Europe, were stored away on the steamship Jason, which sailed from New York for Europe today. A band, com- posed ot SO pieces, from ' 8t. Johns home, played at the pier, Several thousand children marcned to the pier boflpre 10 o clock and wished the officers and crew of the Jason bon voy- age. Thousands of others lined the wharf and a mighty cheer went up as the. Christmas ship sailed out to sea. ' Tho Jason earned cheer lor five mill. on families.

If ho is unsuccessful in this effort be will go before'the next legisluturo and ask for such remedy, in the form of legislation, which will enable the department to regulate and control tho business of trust companies in the state in tho same manner as ordinary bunking companies are governed. If there is any class of business that needs regulation and supervision t is the trust companies," said Mr. Sargent, in discussing tho subject. "If a person places his money in tho keep ing of a bunk he can draw it out when ever ho feels the least bit uiwnsy us to the stability of the bank. If, how ever, ho places his money in trust with a trust company it stnvs there and he cannot get it out even though he knows tho institution is going to tail. He is obliged to sit Idly by with his hands folded and watch lis money 'go up in smoke, as it were. "I do not think tho recent decision of our court covered all of tho vital points involved in tiie cose. This low was drawn up after similar laws in force in other states, the constitutional ity of, all of which lias been upheld by the 'supreme courts of those states, and 1 ennnot understand wdiy this one should fail to stand the test, 1 should like to have our law passed upon by the whole court upon its merits, nt any rate, nnd, If the court decides that It Is no good, why then I want nil oppor tunity to request the legislature to pass a law that will stand the most severe test of the courts.

The allies professed to be gaining ,a little. The Germans, however, claimed to have crossed tho Vser canal and cap tured Steley. Certainly thero w is no sign of a ces sation of their efforts to reach the French coast. The country flooded by tho Belgians was a vast bog, strown with corpses. The weather's severity made the troops' sufferings terrible. It wus expected the French seat of government would be transferred from Bordeuux back to Paris bofore tho end of November. From the eastern theatre of war no news was received. The Turks, having seemingly taken the Rust-inns by surprise, were ad vancing on Batum, an important and strongly defended city in,Trans-Cuu casta. In Turkey, strife between the wur and antiwur parties threatened revolu tion. Troops wero in revolt In Constanti nople and Adrianople, un attempt nas made oo the life of F.nver Pasha, tht war minister, and five Oerman officers wero assassinated. Detailed reports were published oi the sinking or secero injury of the Bri tish dread naught Audacious by a mine or torpedo off northern Ireland, but the London ndmirulity would not coil . firm the story. Seemingly well authenticated reports wero also current of tho destruction by British warships of two Oerman sub marines.

PARTY AGAINST T Garrisons Are in Revolt and Administration May Be Overthrown ATTEMPT IS MADE ON LIFE OF ENVER PASHA His Headquarters Wrecked and Five German Oncers Killed by Bomb London, Nov. 14. News of revolt by the Turkish gnrrlsoas at Constanti nople were belioved here today to indi cate a strong probability of the pres ent Ottoman administration's over throw. , Thot this meant the overthrow of the Biiltnn, it we.s thought, did not ne cessarily follow, since ho is understood to bo of tho anti war parly, and it waa seemingly against tho pro-war faction that the uprising was directed. The government authorities who were re sponsible, however, for dragging their country into the European conflict. were considered in setious danger of losing nil power and perhaps their lives. Thtvngh Envor Pasha, the war miaiB- ter, was not Injured by tho bomb ex plosion which, Petrogrud advices said, hud wrecked his headquarters, five Oerman officers were reported to have been killed. Tho letter described as having been found near the scene of tho explosion, in which it wns declared the bomb wa intended for "the man who sold Tur key to Oermnny," was regarded aa proving definitely the anti-Oerman character of the present Turkish agita tion. Situation la Tense. Brlndisl, Italy, Nov. 14. The tonsest imaginable situation exists In Constan tinople, according to arrivals here to day from the Turkish .capital. lliree factions were mentioned, each fiercely determined to have its own way. Clravo internal trouble, perhaps a revolution, wns said to be threaten ed. Of tho tliDu groups, two wore said to be for war. One of these was des cribed ns the pro-German party, tho other as favoring war, indeed, but Tur key's Interest alone and without refer ence to Uermniiy'a advuntuge. The pro-Hermans wore snid to be led by thu cluss of government official who are confident or hope to profit personnlly by throwing the s.iltnn'e troops info the conflict as tho kaiser 'a ullics wherever ho muy need them, which means against Russia ulung thu Tnins-Cnucnsiiiii frontier. Ideas Vary Widely. The Turkish war party was spoken of us co-Dpcrntlng with (he Oermunt only insofar as it is in tho Ottoman empire's interest to do so. It was ex plained that this group wants to use the army to recover tho territories the sultan lost dining the Balkan war and to re-establish his actual sovereignity over Kg) pi. Knvor Pitslia, the war min ister, u jingo man whose purity of mo tive is not questioned, was said to bo the guiding spirit of tins wing. The thrd party docs not wont war nt all, Hi.me wero said to oppose it because they saw no way by which the m.isses could gain by it und did not want to fight in the Interests of the ruling clnss. Others wero declared to belivvn Hint the wnr would mean sui cide for Turkey und to Insist on keep, ing out ot tho conflict at any cost. Thu sultan himself was understood to be of this opinion. The clnsh of opinions wus reported so violent that civil siriln cus in, mi ne nt, The danger to foreigners ns thought to be considerable, FARMER TORTURED AND THEN ROBBED Muishfleld, Ore., Nov. 14.
