TIIE -MOUSING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, 3IAIICII 8, 1910. 11 BUDGE CONTRACT TO BE GIVEN NEXT Oregon Trunk Calls for Bids for Structure Across Colum bia at Celilo. ALSO FOR OTHER BRIDGES Great Rlvc-r u Be Spanned hy Steel Resting on Xattiral Rock Tnrec Crossings of Deschutes, One of Crooked: River Planned. .Announcement that Engineer Modjeskl had been Instructed to call for bids for the concrete foundations of the Oregon Trunk Line bridge that will span the Co lumbia, and for the steel for that bridge and four ethers along the Deschutes canyon, was made yesterday by President John F". Stevens, who returned Sunday from Chicago. Mr. Stevens also said that It was the expectation that contracts would soon be let for construction work south of Madras, along the right of way towar Bend. The contract work does not now extend south of Madras, although con siderable work has been done under the direction of the railroad itself at the approaches to the bridge that will span the Crooked River chasm between Madras and Redmond. The Oregon Trunk Line, in addition to bridging the Columbia and Crooked Rivers, will cross the Deschutes River three times on steel bridges. The first crossing of the Deschutes is at Horseshoe Bend, or the "oxbow," as the place Is also called. The line leaves the west side of the river, crosses to the nar row tongue of land around which the river flows, tunnels through the tongue and then recrosses to the west side. The third crossing is near White River, from which point the railroad will follow the east bank for 12 miles and then turn up Willow Creek to reach Madras. ' Bridge to Cost Over $1,000,000. The most expensive bridge of the four will be that crossing the Columbia, which will cost between $1,000,000 and $1,600,000. This bridge crosses not only the Colum bia River, but also the Celilo Canal and the O. R. & N. main line and the Por tage Railroad. The bridge clears the O. R. & N. tracks by 22 feet and the ordinary water level of the ' canal by a little more than 33 feet. The plans provide for a swing bridge over the canal. In addition to the swing bridge there are to be seven spans, every pier for which will be on solid rock above the ordinary stage of the river. The longest span will be about 320 feet and each of the others will be 230 feet. In addition to these spans there will be a steel viaduct at the north end nearly 1000 feet long, extending over a rocky bed that is covered at high water. The bill authorizing the 'construction of the bridge over the canal has been passed by both houses of Congress and signed by the President. ' The plans are already In the hands of the War De partment for approval. Piers Stand on Solid Rock. One move necessary in the construction of the bridge will be' the condemnation of a right of way at the northern end. The land there is controlled by F. A. Beufert, the cannery man, and negotia tions have not been successful. The three bridges for crossing the Deschutes will each have two steel spans. The Crooked River bridge is to be one steel arch springing from solid rock at one edge of a precipice to a similar -foundation on the opposite side. Mr. Stevens absolutely denied" reports sent out from San Francisco and pub lished in Portland that he had been in that city arranging to put surveyors in California for a proposed extension of the Oregon Trunk Line. "I have not been in San Francisco for M years," said Mr. Stevens yesterday, "and we are not planning to extend the road into California, We have never even discussed California." POSTAGE INCREASE WRONG Bvenlng Star Grange Goes on Rec ord and Memorializes Congress. That it would be wrong and unnecess ary for Congress to Increase the rates af postage on certain classes of mail matter, newspapers and periodicals, as proposed, was the sense of Evening 6tar 3range No. 27, Patrons of Husbandry, expressed by resolutions adopted unanl mouly at the meeting held Saturday in the hall on the Section Line road. It was decided to prepare a memorial to Congress protesting against the increase, and the matter will be brought before the State Grange, which meets at Oregon City in May. The matter was brought up by James G. Kelly, who made a detailed report during the lecturer's hour In -the after noon on the proposed increase of mail rates; and quoted an editorial from The Oregonian " In which the subject is re viewed. Mr. Kelly contended any in crease in the postal rates was unneces sary and uncalled for. and that the deficit was due to extravagance in the postofflce department and abuse of the franking privilege by which tons of worthless publications are sent free through the mails, and not to carrying mails too cheaply. He also declared that the people will not tolerate an increase of the rates which will increase the cost of newspapers and other publications which keep the farmers in touch with the world. Tills report was made in open cession and was heard by more than 250 grangers from Clackamas, Mul tomah and other counties and met with unanimous approval. The question will come up before Po mona Grange Wednesday, March 16, and before the Oregon State Grange, which meets at Oregon City May 10. PERSONAL MENTION.

When In doubt, ask The Ore-: gonian. Please tell us a few A. B. Cs. about bridge. .Who makes the trump? Who is dummy? Who leads and how does the bidding proceed? We are where we cannot get a teacher and start at the beginning.. An article as Indicated would be appreciated by many whist players. MRS. D T . Evidently you are asking questions about auction bridge. While this new evolution of the old game, is practiced in England and in New Tork, it hasn't reached Portland; at least it hasn't become popular here, so' far as we know. To answer your questions: The deal er makes the trump or passes the make over to his partner, who is dummy. The player, at the left of the dealer always leads. These answers refer. of course, only to the old game .of bridge. No doubt any bookstore in Portland will be able to furnish you with, the address of some publisher who has is sued a work on auction bridge, or can order a copy for you.
