Phone Main 81. THE LATEST WONDER Wonders are so common in these days that they attract little attention. The Seven Wonders of the ancient world, if located in New York City, would find themselves outclassed. Few people know that there are two enterprises now being carried forward in New York each of which equals the Panama Canal in magnitude and estimated cost. These are the aqueduct to bring water from the Catskill Mountains to supply the city, and the new subway. But the most spectacular new thing about New York is the bridge over Hell Gate. As the traveler approaches the city from Long Island Sound the bridge, although not completed, dominates the view. It is the greatest work undertaken by man in at least ten different features. Its arch of 1,017 feet will be the longest steel arch in the world. It will be the heaviest bridge ever built, contain ing four times as much steel as the Woolworth Tower. It ha3 four of the largest pieces of steel ever made, each weighing 00 tons. The ends of the bridge rest upon four of the heaviest castings ever made, each weighing 500,000 pounds. The jacks used in lifting those enormous masses into place are the most powerful ever made, and the rivets that fasten them together are the largest ever used. The engineering problems involved are the most dif ficult ever solved, and the foundations were the most dif ficult to make safe: the concrete retaining walls are the highest ever built, and the ten mile railway, of which the bridge is a part, is the most costly of any line in the world, ine wnoie cost in point oi construction is esti mated at '.O.OOOjOOO, or three million dollars a mile, of which $12,000,000 is the cost of the bridge over Hell Gate. The road and the bridge, it is expected, will be ready for use in July, 1917. MARRIAGE TOO EASY, labor. The superintendent said men were wanted in every department. In other railroad shops, east and west, addi tional men are being employed, and the roads are con fronted with one of the most serious car shortages in years. Idle freight cars on November 1 numbered only 26,239, against 78,299 for October 1; 183,569 for Septem ber 1; 265,364 for August 1, and 327,084 for April 1. There is one feature of the national suffrage question that has never been brought into the limelight, and it is one that probably had much to do with the defeat of suffrage in the recent elections in- the far eastern states. That is that there are now in the states of New York alone more than one million foreign born women. It is probable that at least 50 per cent of these can not speak English and know absolutely nothing about American citizenship. The husbands of the larger portion of these have been naturalized, .and if suffrage was adopted the wives would become citizens from that fact. A half mil lion votes of this kind might become a menace to govern ment, especially when under the control, as most of these voters would be, of their husbands, and they but little better informed as to the principles of our government than their wives. Professor E. G. Conklin, of Princeton University, in an address before the American Association for Study and Prevention of Infant Morality, among other things while deploring the dying out of old families, said: "Every means should be taken to bring about the marriage of the best with the best." This is all right as far as it goes, but if the best marry the best the next best should in rea son marry he next best and so on down the line until as a natural sequence the worst would marry tne worst. How could this plan even if it was possible to follow it result in anything better than we have under existing conditions? At the most it would result in a race of a minority of fit and a great majority of unfit just as now exists; only the difference might and probably would be more marked. Elks Take Two Out of Three From Watt Shipps The Elk bowlers took two games out of three from the Watt Shipps last night at the Club alio . and won the night's series.

It has not been expended to assist a single tuberculosis patient, and evidently the ruling powers in the women's clubs do not know what to do with it. In fact most of the charitable work done by organizations is misdirected, or misapplied and little of the money contributed by the public goes to the object really in need of assistance. (The Red-Gross stamp fiasco is only a fair illustration of scores of char itable and up-lift organizations which .re being sup ported by sympathetic but gullible people. It is not at all surprising after reading the song com posed by Mr. Fitzpatrick anent the president's marriage All ministers of wide experience are convinced that marriage is made too easy for the young and inex perienced. ' When boys and girls are 18 and 20 nature tugs and pulls them together. One is well within the facts in say ing that one-fourth of all the couples that marry take the step suddenly, without premeditation or preparation. The minister is helpless; these young people are of age; also they bring with them a license given them by the proper representative of the law. And yet the parson knows that if an announcement of the marriage had been placarded for two weeks or a month in the county court house, to give a chance for proper objection, or if the proposition of marriage had been announced for two Sundays in the church, Catholic or Protestant, the marriage would never have taken place. The simple fact is that we have Pullman palace cars for the body, but as for marriage our generation is still wearing red blankets and is as ignorant as painted savages. The time will come when marriage will be made more difficult, when a month's notice will have to be given through church and press, when the Board of Health will have to give a certificate. These just and rational safeguards will diminish domestic catastrophes and do much to save the American family. Then when a husband or wife breaks the laws of mar riage it will be easier to divorce transpressors at one end because marriage has been made difficult at the other. Something of the revival of business may be seen in the call for workmen over the East and Middle West, particularly the call that comes from industrial plants where the scarcity of men is felt. In Chicago where the bread lines are usually beginning to form at this time of the year, there is now an actual shortage of labor, so it is reported. The other day officials of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad shops out at Lorain, which employ a thous and men, appealed to the newspapers for aid in finding in tho Baltic lucked official confirma tion here today. The D ily Mail's re port said that all but 33 of the crew were saved. The d rendu nu glit is said to be one of three 30,000 ton vessels, tho largest in the German navy, which were being constructed when the war broke out. The building was rushed, and it is understood that at least 0110 other is now ready. The next smaller, dread nought is the Errnit Weissenburg of 25,500 tons, completed in July.

Oregon Agricultural College Hens Win Prizes San Francueo, Oct. 23.

(J. s three teams of hens entored in the interna tional egg laying contest that closed last night, after competing an entire year. The "Aggies" terms took the first three prizes. First place went to a team of single comb White Leghorns. Barred Plym outh Hocks took second honors, and Oreirons third. A pen of White Wyan dotte from British Columbia was the fourth. The Boores made by each team will be announced later. The champion individual hen was a Barred Plymouth Hock entered by F. 11. Sherman, Lebanon, Oregon. Serbians Report Bulgarians Lose Ten Thousand (Continued from Fage One.) to the aspiring songster that the president would appre ciate it greatly if it was not published. Describing him as the great white chief and the bride to be as a "pretty little Indian maid" was a poetic conceit enough, but as the bride has been once at the matrimonial altar, the conceit is all knocked out of it. Calling Mrs. Gait a "squaw'' is going beyond poetical license and far beyond the gounds of decency and good sense. . . , LADD & BUSH, Bankers Established 1868 CAPITAL - - - - - - $300,000.00 Transact a General Banking Business Safety Deposit Boxes SAVINGS DEPABTMENT TOO MANY CHURCHES In Pumpkinville the fourteen churches have no sup port that's strong and stout; and all the time the village searches its clothes for coins to help them out. I he pas tors go upon their uppers, they're hungry- looking men and lean, as they arrange tor chicken suppers, to pay for coal and kero sene. They can't put much into a sermon, not much of eloquence or vim, with each so poor he can't determine just when the poor farm will get him. The churchyards all are rank and weedy, nor none will pay to mow the grass; the churches all look frayed and seedy, they're needing paint and window glass. In Pumpkinville one church might flourish, and be a presperous concern, and there'd be wealth its work to nourish, while yet the lamp holds out to burn. And it could hire a pair of dingers of clergymen, in turn to preach, and can the bunch of hay seed singers, engaging some who've learned to screech. But Pumpkinville has fourteen churches, and each is poorer than the rest, and evermore the village searches for pennies for them, in its vest. A Russia Claim Successes. Petrograd, Nov. 23. Destruction of a Uerniuu patrol steamer in a snore fight in tho Baltic with Russians tor pedo boats was claimed by tho war of fico today. Ono officer and 19 German schliera wero taken prisoner, but. tho lti'xsians sustained no losses. Southeast of Iiiga, tho Germans were repulsed and part of their shelter trenches were destroyed. In (lulicia, tho enemy crossed the Hiver Strypn and wero engaged by the liussians. Klsewlicro in that region, tho war office claimed successes for the liussians. Penny Wise and Pound Foolish The cost of living makes every woman look to see where she can eave money, which, of course, is sensible and proper if not car ried, too far.
