WILL BUILD
THEIR BRIDGE


Manager Page, OF the Portland
General Electric, in speaking 20 a
Journal reporter yesterday Of the
possibility Of the company building
a bridge across MN creek, on North
Commercial street. said: "If II Isl
the councils wish we viii certainly
move from the concrete bridge i'm
mediately. We have always been
on the side Of right in all matters.
and. although we have been to quite
IN expense owing to placing our rails
on the bridge. and the maintenance
OF the strncture. still we are willing
10 abide BY the decision OF the coun+
ell without fighting the matter. AS
60 building a new bridge" he con-
tlnued. "the company will probably
construct bridge as soon as posi-
BILE, but, Of course. II will be some
time before structure could be
compl ted. II We build on the east
side OF the present bridge II would
be necessary to obtain private right
OF way on the north bank OF MIL
creek. which up 20 this date we have
beon unable TO obtain on the west
side OF the concrete structure there
ls only a space Of 10 feet where the
present bridge Is the narrowed, aud
at the ends where the wings spread
TO the banks we could not make the
turn on the north bank without driy-
Ing piles IN the gravel wing. which
might endanger the embankment. AZ
| least do not think the company will
care 10 take the chances without first
being released by the city from any
damage which might occur. n We
are put on the bridge OF course Il
will mean that trafIlc must stop north

VICTOR is A WONDER.

NEW YORK, Jan, 25.-Victor Won
Salemann, OF Moscow, Russia, is in
New York for the purpose Of study
ing skyscrapers. He seeks to learn
all there is to know about them in
four days and return to Moscow and
straightway construct one. Mr.. Won
Salemann owns several buildings in
Moscow and a short time ago deter
mined to erect one of the sky-scraping
variety, for there are no laws in
Moscow limiting the height OF build
ings as there are in ST. Petersburg.
After he got aboard the steamer to
come to New York Mr.. Won Sale
mann remembered that he did not
know word OF the English language.
so he began to study it. All his time
during the seven days he was at sea
he put in on study, with the result
that he arrived in New York with a
working knowledge of the language
which enables him to converse freely
on any subject.

EXPENSIVE SNOW STORM.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2s.-That it will
cost $l50,000 to clean the streets of
New York of the snow which fell
in the storm of Thursday night and
yesterday, is the estimate of the snow
removal bureau. In additional to
this direct outlay by the municipality,
it is figured that injuries to horses
and vehicals, delays in transportat-
ion Of goods and the increased cost
of coal, which jumped 50 cents ton
yesterday on account Of the increased
cost Of handling, the loss to citizens
through the storm will be at least as
much more.
Throughout yesterday FIVE hundred
teams and $500 men we're kept busy
cleaning the streets Of snow, while
all night in the lower part of the city
l,l00 men and fifty teams were oc-
cupied with the work, To-day the
snow removal bureau hopes to have
at least FIVE thousand shovelers and
drivers employed.

OF the Sherman act,
The department regards the suit

the Missouri river on the east and the
entire Pacific Coas, south Of Portland
Oh the west Aside from the railway
companies above named the other de-
PENDANTS in the suit are the Farmers

the stock OF the San Pedro road under
contract by which II Is required to
give proxies to such persons named
by Mr.. Hartman and Mr.. Clark for

The Most Important Change Is
the One Accepting BaiIey's
Proposition.
DEPARTMENT ASKED FOR DATA
An All Day Conference OF the Demo-
cratic Senators Resulted in Direc-
tions to Prepare a Minority Bill
Aldrich to Exhibit His Bill.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2s.--Whcn
the Senate committee on finance
meets next Monday. Chairman Aid.
rich will be prepared to exhibit the
perfected text Of his currency bill.
Among the more important changes
is the one accepting Bailey's PROPOSE
iion for distribution OF the proposed
surplus Of bank issuc among the var
ious states in proportion to their
banking capital and surplus. Bailey
has been engaged in preparing sub
stitutc bill in which this feature was
given prominent place and il is not
yet determined whether he will resist
when the action OF the majority mem
bership becomes known. There are
a number Of other important changes
embodied in the Aldrich bill.
An all day conference of Dem
ocratic senators resulted in directions
TO minority OF the committee on
finance to prepare a bill which could
be urged as substitute for the Aid
rich bill and possibly be given sup
port by all the Democrats in the
Senate. No action along these lines
will be taken however, until the data
requested of the treasury department
by resolution and promised for early
next week is received and gone over
by the committee. Judging from the
views expressed by the Democrats
the bill is somewhat on the lines Of
the measure recently suggested by
Bailey.
