HIGHWAY ENGINEERS SUBMIT
PLANS FOR NEW CITY BRIDGE
. Chief Highway Engineer Nunn and
State Highway Bridge Engineer Mc-
Cullough were in this city Wednes
day night, and a conference took
place in the Commercial club parlors
between the business men and these
two gentlemen. They brought plans
and pictures of two designs for the
proposed new bridge, which will be
erected over the Willamette river at
this point, to take the place of the old
suspension bridge. Both pictures of
the proposed bridge were similar in
appearance, only that one was more
fancy in design and provides rest
stations on the structure.
The present suspension bridge over
the river here is in bad shape, and
the highway commission has decided
to build a new one with the help of
the county court. It connects the
Pacific highway on the west side of
the river. The bridge as proposed
will cost in the neighborhood of
$2G8,000, including the rest stations,
excepting interior fittings. The type
will be of structural steel encased in
concrete and will span 385 feet. It is
said to be the largest bridge of its
kind' ever projected in this country,
The main drive on the bridge will be
24 feet in width, with a 5 foot pedes
trian walk on each side, making the
total width of the structure 34 feet.
Engineer Nunn explained to the
gathering Wednesday night that the
plans for the bridge were not finish
ed as yet, and that some changes
probably would be made in the de-

sign before being accepted by the
commission and county court. The
proposed bridge will have a grade of
five per cent.
According to Mr. Nunn, the com
mission has gone as far as they can,
and the next question will be that of
raising finances for the project. The
county court has made a levy of one
half mill for a sinking fund to help
finance the building of the bridge for
this year, and levied a quarter of a
mill last year for the same purpose.
These levies made a grand total of
$22,500 toward the structure. At the
conclusion of the meetAg, it was vot
ed to authorize the president of the
Commercial club to appoint a com
mittee to confer with the county
court and provide ways and means of
raising more money, and to negotiate
for a proposed park site in West Linn
at the end of the new bridge.
A vote of thanks was extended, to
the two highway engineers by the
Commercial club, and they were made
honorary members of that body. Mr.
Nunn said last night that the Pacific
highway would be completed from
the California line to Washington by
August of next year. He pointed out
that it would be necessary to elim
inate the present grade along the
basin near Canemah on the highway,
and seek a higher level from Ca
nemah east of the S. P. tracks, and
come into this city by an under
ground channel. ,
KNIGHTS OF KHORASSAN
HAVE BIG TIME SATURDAY
A special car, carrying about 170
members of the Knights of ,Khor-
rasan, known as the Shriners of the
K. P. lodge, arrived in this city Sat
urday evening to take part in the mi
tiation of new members in the local
order. The visitors brought a band
here, which gave a concert on the
main streets for about an hour be
fore the lodge opened for the even.

K. P.'s and 17 automobiles, made its
appearance on Main street about 7:30
and most of the members marched in
the parade bedecked in their brightly
colored uniforms. After the concert
and purade, the members adjourned
to the lodge rooms, and after the
evening's program there, refresh
ments were served. Oregon City has
about 30 active members of the
order.

LETTER FROM CORP. AVERILL.
HOME COMING IS DEFERRED
The following letter was received
from Corporal Archie Averill, son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Averill, of Cher
ryville. The young man has been in
the service for some time, and has
been stationed in France with the
157th Aero Squadron. He was ex
pected home by the parents this
month, but in the following letter,
the young hero says that he has been
sent with his company to another
part of France, and will probably not
be home until after the French ports
are closed. The letter follows:
' Embarkation Camp No. 1, 157 Aero
Squadron. Bordeaux A. P. O., 70.
April 15, 1919. Dear Mother: Fath
er's letter, which came yesterday,
was the first I have received from
home for a long time. Perhaps you
all have stopped writing, thinking I
was on my way home. I am in a reg
ular routine of duty again after mov
ing so often. I have charge of a row
of barracks, and see to it that they
are polished up properly, and are
kept in repair. I get a different de
tail of men every morning from the
transient troops, and they are no ex
ception to the rest of the "Gold Brick
ers." The average doughboy is firm
ly convinced that now the war is
over, all the work is over.
This work usually takes about four
hours of my time, and I have the
rest of the day to myself. My chum,
Paul is a guide on one of the passen
ger busses between Bordeaux 1 and
the camp. I was in Bordeaux all day
Sunday, the first time I have seen
the city. It really is a very beauti
ful city, with some wonderful statu
ary. I am sending some cards of the
place. The Y. M. C. A. has a large
building here, and I ate some real
American ice cream, the first in over
a year. We visited several old ca
thedrals; in the crypt of one we saw
forty seven mummies, five hundred
years old, that were wonderfully well
preserved. It was a gruesome sight,
as the crypt was almost dark, the
only light being from a candle. The
old lady in charge had learned a lit
tie speech in English to tell the
Americans. One particularly hideous
looking specimen, she said had been
buried alive while in a trance, and on
waking up, and finding himself bur
ied, assumed his present tragic look.
She surely gave an interesting exhi
bition for fifty centimes.
Bordeaux's water front looks quite
a little like Portland s as the Gironde
river is about the same size as the
Willamette. I believe the city is
chiefly noted as a great wine export
ing center, and it is also noted for
its beautiful women, as are all French
cities. In France all the marriage li
censes are posted in front of the city
hall, and in Bordeaux I noticed that
quite a few American names appear
ed. The most of the Frenchwomen,
it is safe to leave strictly alone, as
they are nearly as simple as the Eng
lish maidens. I am sending some
money home by money order, that
you can keep for me. 1 imagine I
will need all the. money I can get
when I reach home to buy some new
clothes,- since I have "expanded" so
much, I feel sure my old clothes will
be several sizes too small. I don't
care to wear the uniform very long
alter 1 get out pf the service.

Don't Let It Linger
A cough that follows la grippe or
any other cough that "hangs on"
from winter to spring wears down
the sufferer, leaving him or her in a
weakened' state unable to W8rd off
sickness and disease. Jos. Gillard,
148 Fillmore St., Nashville, Tenn.,
writes: "I was suffering with a dry,
hacking cough and a pain in my
chest, but since taking Foley's Honey
and Tar I have been relieved." It
soothes, heals and cures coughs, colds
and croup. Good for whooping cough.

Fred Armstrong Back
Fred Armstrong, son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. Armstrong of West Linn,
passed through Portland Friday on
his way to Camp Lewis, where he ex
pects to be mustered out of the serv
ice. He was met in Portland by a
crowd of relatives and friends, who
gave him welcome back to this coun
try. He has the distinction of being
one of the first young men from West
Linn to enlist m the war, and enlist
ed through a recruiting station in
this tity at the outbreak of the strug
gle. He and his brother, Ralph, will
be given a big reception at the Arm
strong home, when the two young he
roes arrive from Camp Lewis to thin
city.
CORRESPONDENCE
(Continued from Page 5)
The flume was completed this week,
and also the last drive on the river.
"Lige" Coleman, who lives near
Sandy, says he will build a silo and
fill it with sunflower silage, as he
says this makes fine ensilage.
Consider Louis Vnrette, who lives
between Sandy and Marmot. He is
an Italian who came to this country
nearly 40 years ago, and when he
took a homestead everything he had
was contained in a gunnysack. He
resolutely went to work on a piece of
raw land in terrible shape and re
moved stones, stumps, brush and
trees and now has a fine farm, well
improved. He not only has made
good living but bought $0000 worth
of Liberty bonds. His only son en
listed and served for over a year, but
escaped injury and will soon be home.
Such people are the ones that help
to build up Old Oregon.
The Friends, of Quakers, are doing
a great work in France, building up
homes in the devastated regions in
the desolate parts destroyed by the
Huns. The Friends have a great
record. They never defended human
slavery, intemperance or war and
build up any country where they
settle. They do not practice relig
ion for a livelihood nor stimulate ex
citement among the masses to sweep
people ff toheir feet and take vast
sums to build cathedrals or costly
churches, but really put in practice
and live up to the teachings of the
Golden Rule. "BKy their fruits you
shall know them." If there were
more of these peaceable and friendly
people the world would be much bet
ter off.
The Republican Congress is now
in session and there will be a lot of
jockeying and playing politics for
the struggle to get in power com
pletely in 1920. They are sue to
over-play their hand and go tos ex
tremes in their eagerness to serve
the greedy rich, from whom they ex
pect fat contributions to debauch the
voters.
A fine article appears in the Col
liers this week by Evangeline Booth,
of the Salvation Army. She says
"A man may be down but he is never
out," and "those that are sick need
a physician, not those that are whole."
They certainly did a great work in
the war and have won golden opin
ions from everybody. No person
ever gets so low but where they can
get help from this organization.

Farm Bureaus Better Farms
The Oregon farm is being raised to
a higher plane and made into a real
home by progressive farmers work
ing through farm bureaus and coun
ty agents many farmers report to
the O. A. C. news man. Cotnmunitv
farm and home standards are rising
through the policy of "Each man up
by every man up." This raises the
state standard, which is imperative if
it is to maintain its rank in the
Unon, because the same forces are at
work in all. They must hustle to
maintain their ranks, extend organ
ized efforts to improve them.
Jordon Creates Stir
Quite a stir is being created in this
city by the appearance of the new
Jordon auto, handled by W. J. Wilson
here. The car is finished in dark
mahogany, has six cylinders, and is
of the seven passenger type. Sev.

Wilson for the car. Grant Dimick
purchased the first one in this county.
