Practically Certain That South
Side Structure Must
Wait a Year.
THE COST WILL BE HEAVY.
DEBT BY ISSUING BONDS-TWo
SETS OF PLANS ARE SUBMIT
TED.

1t is almost an assured fact that
this afternoon when the county coun-
Gil considers the project of placing a
bridge over the Whitewater river at
South II street, it will decide to post
pone the construction of this bridge
for one more year. The council will
be advised to take this action by the
county commissioners.
Two sets of plans for the proposed
bridge. prepared by we'll known In
dianapolis bridge engineer, have been
received and were presented to the
councilmen for inspection. One plan
is for a steel and concrete bridge. the
estimated cost of which is placed at
$780, 900. The other plan calls for a
bridge of solid concrete. which would
last until the end of time. The esti-
S240,000. The commissioners and
councilmen who inspected the plans
agree that when the bridge is built
it should be made of concrete.
Both structures, according to the
plans, would be very handsome. The
concrete bridge is supported by ar
ches and six immense piers. The steel
and concrete bridge is supported by
four steel piers and steel girders.
The engineer who prepared the plans
estimates that a bridge over the river
at South II street must be at least
1150 feet in length and 50 feet above
the lowest part of the river valley.
On each side of the bridge 1t is esti-
mated that fills 100 feet in length
must be made.
Reason for Postponing.
The reason for postponing the con-
struction of the bridge for another
year is given by President Wiley of
the board of commissioners Col.
Wiley states that If the bridge is
built at the present time it would be
necessary for the county to go in debt
by issuing bonds. 1t would also be
necessary to raise the tax levy Col.
is s25. 900 in the fund set aside for
the construction of bridge at South
III street BY using the money In the
fund for construction of bridges in
other parts of the county there would
be about $50,000 available at the pres
ent time. Col. Wiley states that the
second installment of taxes this spring
will increase the special South III
street bridge fund to about 100000 and
would be large enough to warrant the
county council authorizing the con-
struction of the bridge.

Erozen In Wet Clothing.

Block Island. Feb. 13.-The inhab-
itants of all parts of the island turned
out to aid in the rescue. A northwest
gale, at zero temperature, continued
through the forenoon. The estimate
is uncertain, but Captain McVeay's
statement is of $50 passengers and a
crew of 80. made after reviewing
what few papers he saved, and which
tallies with the JOY line officials.
With only &c accounted for, leaves
154 missing. 1t seems impossible that
any are alive, even if they reached
the shore. as in their soaked clothing
they must have frozen to death.
Captain McVeay reached the island
after cruising about in a small boat
all night. Neither he nor Captain
Haley of the Knowlton, are able to
give the exact cause of the collision.
McVeay says he will make full re-
port to the company's general offices
in New York.

FLOOD DAMAGE SUIT NEARs THE CLOSE

This afternoon the long legal battle
In the flood damage suit brought
against the city and w. s. Ryers is
drawing to close, and by evening the
case will doubtless be given the jury.
At 1920 this forenoon the plaintiffs
finished their rebuttal evidence, and
after moments intermission Colonel
]. II. Raley took the floor for his
opening address to the jury.
In the course of his opening re-
marks he held that the plaintiffs
could recover damages for the loss
sustained either from the city, from
Byors, or from both Jointly. Colonel
Raley was unable to complete his ar
gument during the forenoon and did
not conclude until nearly o'clock
this afternoon.
Following Colonel Raley, City At
torney John McCourt took the floor
and opened the argument for the de-
fense. He held that there had been
an absolute failure to show negli-
gence on the part of Byers, and held
that no actionable negligence had been
proven against the city. He declared
that the use of water from the mill
race by the city and also the using of
the race for sewer purposes by indi-
viduals did not in any manner connect
the city officially with the race. If

Providence, r. l., Feb. 13.-Dis-

wreck, and relatives of the dead vic

Captain Haley is accused of saving

he declared the corporation could not

According to the speaker the plain
tiffs had started out to show joint
responsibility on the part of the city
and Byers, and asked damages of
them jointly. In this he declared they
had failed entirely through the lack

the case a verdict could not be given
for the plaintiffs for the reason that
the verdict must be against both or

GOLD AND SILVER CROP.
Increases and Decrease. Extremely
Irregular.

Washington, Feb. 13.-Statistics
showing gold and silver production
in the United States during 1906 have
Interesting features. Colorado still
leads in respect to the production Of
gold, but shows a decrease of about
$4,000, 900 from 1905. California re-
mains in second place. but likewise
shows a decrease of about half
million. Alaska. whose output is
third largest. shows an increase of
more than $4,000, 900. Nevada, thanks
to the activity in the new mines at
Godfield and Tonopah, has nearly
doubled its output, showing s9,S15.-
500 against S5,359,1OO in 1905. Wyo-
ming has the smallest output, $685.
400.
The output credited to other
states" shows surprising increase
from only s17,100 in 1905, to s429,-
100. Colorado likewise leads the sill
yer states, and has nearly held its
own, while Montana. which led in
1905, shows a decrease of nearly two
millions. Next in order to these two
are Utah, Idaho Nevada and Arizona.
Alabama, which produced $4,000 worth
in 1905, produced none last year.
Georgia has the smallest output, an
even $1,000, among the states and
territories individually mentioned. To
other states s360,0O0 is credited,
which is S166,OOO less than in 1905.
The total output of silver is s56,4SS,-
500. which is sS1, 900 greater than in
1905.

IMMENSE WASTE
Of FLOOD WATER
DOWN COLD SPRINGS
CANYONS DURING THAW
Enough, According to Colonel New
port, to Fill the Government Res
ervoir Without Drawing From the
Umatilla River-Prospects of This
Project Growing i'm Public Appre-
citation and Relative Importance.

Enough water has run to waste
down Cold Springs canyons during the
present thaw to fill the government
reservoir to the brim, without draw
ing upon the supply in the Umatilla
river, according to the estimates of
Col H, G. Newport, who Is in the city
today from Hermiston.
The reservoir site for the Umatilla
government irrigation project is so To-
GATED that it drains a large scope of
country and with moderate snowfall
each season, it is believed that it will
be possible to supply It from this
source, leaving the supply in the river
as a reserve resource in case of a
light snowfall.
Those who have watched the prog
ress of the government project in the
Cold Springs district are elated over
the possibilities of the country tribu-
tary to it. The reservoir is situated
high enough to cover a maximum
amount of arid land at minimum
cost and with an immense territory
draining into the reservoir during the
winter and spring seasons, the supply
of water will be abundant and the
possibility of irrigating during the
entire season will be assured.
Work on all features of the project
will begin with renewed vigor as
soon as the weather settles. Over 400
men are now employed on the canals
and bitches under construction. and
actual work on the reservoir will soon
begin. The locomotive, cars and
equipment are now at the ste of the
reservoir.

Salem, Ore, Feb. 13.-(Special.)- y
Another spasm in the political squab-
BILE over the proposed railroad legisla-
ton took place rather unexpectedly
in the house this morning when the
supporters of the contention that the
appointment of the commission should
be made by the governor played a
trump card by taking the Bingham
bill, senate bill No. 1923, up from the
table on motion of Rodgers of Mari
on, and by vote of 25 to "a read it
the second time.
Then upon motion of Rodgers and
after a season of wrangling in which
nearly all the members took part, the
bill was indefinitely postponed by
vote of 20 to 2S.
This leaves only one bill in the field
for consideration-the Chaplin bill as
amended and passed by the house and
tabled by the senate, and the question
is now passed up to the joint commit
tee of conference of the house and
senate to arrange a compromise, and
for the senate to take the initiative.
This committee is composed of Sem
ators Bowerman, Miller of Linn and
Marion, and Hedges; and Representa-
tives Rodgers, Jackson and Campbell.
This committee is about evenly divid-
ed upon the question and it is a seri-
Gus doubt if compromise be reached
between the members.
When the question was thrown open
for discussion every speaker threw
off his mask and talked straight from
the shoulder and to the point at issue.
When the bill had been indefinitely
postponed and motion made for the
appointment of house committee to
confer with the senate committee,
and Speaker Davey announced his
committee, some members remarked
aloud:
"Well, that is certainly a fair COM
mittee." (Ironically)
Did the gentleman expect any,
thing differently?" inquired Mr.. Da-
vey, with a sardonic smile. 'Tt is his
usual treatment" interposed Mr..
Vawter, Douglas and Jackson. well.

Piled the speaker and the house pro-
ceeded to other business.

DEVELOPED BY A SUIT FOR
AN ALLEGED CONSPIRACY.
Among the Defendants Named Is
Judge Crawford. Who is an Attor-
ncy for the Highland Gold Mining
Company. for Which Receiver
May 70 Arpnlntcd-W. +. Butcher
Represents the Defendants.

What is believed to be an attempt
to besmirch the character of Judge
Thomas II. Crawford, If the Seventh
judicial district, including Union and
Wallowa counties, has been made by
political enemies in the filing of n
suit for conspiracy against a mining
company of Baker county, Crawford
being attorney for the company, Is
named in the complaint. A special
to the Baker City Democrat, says of
the matter:
A number of stockholders. headed
by H. ]. ShultZ, today filed suit in
the United States district court in
Portland, praying that a receiver be
appointed for the Highland Gold
Mining company. In the bill Of COM
plant filed some sensational charges
were made, and conspiracy and at
tempt to defraud are charged.
The Highland Gold Mining COM
pany is located in Baker county, and
among the defendants named Is
Judge Thomas H. Crawford, appoint
ed some time ago by Governor Cham
berlain to serve on the bench In the
Seventh judicial district. The fact
that Crawford, as attorney for the
mining company, is named in the
complaint, occasioned considerable
surprise today.
The complaint, among other things
alleges that Judge Crawford, as a)-
torney, conspired with Neil ]. Sor-
ensen, Edgar B. Diehl, Daniel Grab
i'll and Robert McGaughey, directors
of the company, to bring action
against the company. confess judg-
ment and then buy in the property
upon sale by execution.
As basis for bringing the suit, It
is said that Directors Grabill, Diehl
and Judge Crawford presented claims
against the company aggregating s20,-
900 for money advanced and attorney
fees. Suit was brought in the circuit
court of Baker county The defense
appeared and filed n general demur-
rer and later Judgment was confessed
and allowed.
Attorney w. f. Butcher, who ap-
peared for the directors, declared to-
day that the charges of conspiracy
are false and will so be proved. He
said that every claim presented
against the company at the time of
the suit was genuine and that the
trouble came from n few small stock
holders who want to run the mines.
