NORTH BANK ROAD
IS COMPLETED
LONGEST DRAW IN
WORLD is CLOSED.
Continuous Track Is Formed from
Portland to Inland Empire-Bridge
Across Columbia Is One Of the
Longest I'm the World-Building Of
Structure Means Much to Port
land

Portland, Ore, July 23.-This
morning at 8 o'clock the draw OF
the Willamette river bridge of the
north bank road was closed for the
first time, and there was a continu-
Gus track uniting Portland with the
Inland Empire country Of Washing
ton.
The closing of this draw, which
is the longest In the world, 521 feet,
will practically complete the line Of
the Spokane, Portland & Seattle rail-
way between Spokane and Portland.
No trains will be run over the CO.
lumbia and Willamette bridges for
week or longer, in order to give
the contractors time to complete the
laying of the double track and the
removal Of scaffolding. The draw
will be swung tomorrow by tug, as
the electrical equipment for swing
ing it will not be in running order
until Monday.
Not only are the two bridges con-
Meeting Washington and Oregon a
success for the contractors, but they
mean much for Portland industrially.
All of the actual work on the bridge
superstructure was done by men,
bers of the Portland local, No. 29
Bridge and Superstructural Iron
Workers, and the company paid
members Of this union more than
5000, 900.
The superstructures were put in
by the King-Atchison company, of
Chicago, with E. c. Stone as engineer
in charge and NJ, ]. Haney superin-
tendent. Stone is Cornell man and
is only 29 years old, but his work in
connection with the Vancouver and
Portland bridges places him we'll up
in the ranks of construction engin-
eers.
In constructing the bridge 10000
barrels of cement, 296,S40 linear feet
of plling, 4S,4O0 cubic yards of con-
crete in the foundations, 1o,S76 cubic
yards of granite masonry, 20,372 cubi.
yards of concrete in the piers above
the foundations, and $4,000, 900
pounds of steel and iron were used.
The Vancouver bridge is 6,409 feet
and 3 inches long, and the Portland
bridge 1.766 feet, making total
length for the two bridges Of S,175
feet and inches.
The bridges are to be used jointly
by the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific railroads. Plans for both
bridges were prepared in the office
of Ralph Modjesky, NJ. A. NJ. S. c. E.,
under whose direction the entire work
has been done,
No particular program was carried
out with the closing of the bridges,
but big crowd was present to see
the swinging Of the draw across the
willamette.

GW|NN MUST MAKE BETTER SHOWING

1t was the idea Of the committee
that before any rights are granted
an electric line company, the city
should first be sure that the grantees
mean business and do not simply
want a franchise for speculative pur-
poses. TO this end 1t was recon-
mended that the grantee be required
to give bond guaranteeing that the
road would be built.
The report of the committee was
adopted by the council, and It is now
up to those wishing the franchise to
make more satisfactory showing.

Pendleton gets the next annual

promises to be of more Importance

larger gathering at the Seattle ex-

FIRE AT MILTON.
New Home of DIR. II. Z. McQuarry Is
Completely Destroyed.


Milton, July 25.-Last evening
about o'clock fire broke out in the
new home of DR.. H. E. McQuarry,
the osteopath at this place. The wind
was very heavy and it was only a
short time until there was big blaze.
The burning embers were carried over
the entire town.
There was but little furniture in
the building as the family had just
moved in. The loss was partially
covered by insurance.
This was a new house, on the bung-
allow order, and one of the prettiest
little places in Milton. For a time
the fire looked serious as the wind
was blowing a gale. Through the
combined efforts Of the Milton and
Freewater fire departments the sur
rounding buildings were saved. The
origin of the fire is mystery.

Hope of a city park for Pendleton
is revived by the work that the city
is doing on the levee above the rail-
road bridges for there are many who
believe that when the levee plans are
fully carried out the park problem
will also be solved.
This summer the city is building
a 500-foot extension to the wing wall
extending out from the head Of the
old levee. This will make the wall
700 feet long and it Is intended to
ultimately extend the wall on down
the river to the railroad bridges.
The connection of the levee with
the park proposition is this. The city
already owns practically all Of the
land lying in the triangle above the
Spokane line of the o. r. & N. and
formed by the railroad, river and mill
race. Between 40 and so lots, COM
prising four or five blocks and frac-
tional blocks, were purchased by the
city in order to protect the water
supply. When the levee change Is
made this triangle will be considera-
bly, enlarged and IL the city can Sc
cure the newly made river bottom
land from W. S. Byers 1t will then
have a tract amply large for park
purposes.
Dream May Come True.
The idea of converting the clty's
property into a public park is not a
new one. For years 1t has been the
idea Of many local people that the
city should some day use its tract for
that purpose. This was the idea of
the late Frank B. Clopton when he
was secretary of the water commits
sion and the fact that the land might
some day become good for park pur-
poses largely influenced the city to
buy the ground above the water
works. The change in the levee
makes the idea even more feasible.
Fair Grounds Also.
Should the city establish a park
out of its triangle property 1t could
meet many needs at one time. Aside
from providing pleasant park where
picnics and outing parties could be
held it could also provide a fair
grounds, baseball diamond and pos
sibly a natatorium.
That the district fair will eventual
ly have to seek a new site is believ-
ed by c. E. Roosevelt. president Of
the commission, and he is one Of
those who feel enthusiastic over the
possibilities OF the city's east end
property. He has driven over the
tract many times and believes it is
well adapted to the needs OF the fair
as we'll as for a park.
Car Line Possible.
AS the park site is some distance
from the main portion of the city
some kind of a transportation line
would have to be provided. at least
for occasions, such as the fair or ball
games. To meet this need a car line
could be extended out on Court street
or, If that proved impracticable, ar
might be made with
either the o. R. & N. or the N. p. to
run cars out upon their tracks. AS
both roads run past the grounds eth
er company seemingly could provide
a transportation service that would
meet the needs

Ware pleaded guilty to one of the in

tries in the books of the bank There
were tWenty-one other indictments
found against him, all of which will be
permitted to stand for the present.
While Wares plea of guilty was but
short cut to a certain conviction,

for a thorough airing of the whole bank

strong feeling here that Ware is as
much sinned against as sinner and
