State Agricultural
College Offers New
Teachers Course
To meet the call of Oregon grade
and high, schools for more qualified
teachers of vocational subjects, the
state board of higher cirricula has
authorized a new degree course in
vocational education at the state col
lege. This will allow students who
wish to teach such subjects as agri
culture, home economics, engineer
ing and - commence to take, such of
each as is needed for effective teach
ing, without extreme specialization in
a technical subject.
Experienced teachers. normal
school graduates and students from
other colleges, may get their credits
accepted in the new course and fit
themselves for vocational teaching
and supervision in one to three years,
depending on the number of college
credits they enter with.
Students who want to prepare for
administrative vocational education
may distribute their credits among
the different subjects which they ex
pect to , handle. Cities are calling
for supervisors of technical courses,
and towns and country wtnt teachers
and supervisors of two or more voca
tional subjects. Teachers who want
to qualify for these positions may dis
tribute their elective where they will
do the most good.
Another opening is offered to stu
dents preparing to teach the "related-
subjects" under the Smith-Hughea
laws mechanical drawing; industrial
chemistry, business English, commer
cial law and' others.
A special bulletin descriptive of the
new course will be ready for distri
bution in May.
Surveying of Home -Sites
Near Zig Zag
by Forestry Service
A. G. Jackson, forest examiner with
the United States Forestry service,
was in Oregon City Wednesday on bus
iness connected with the surveying of
summer home sites near Mount Hood.
The forestry department is now en
gaged In laying out a number of new
plots for lease to people wanting sum
mer homes on Zig Zag creek and Still
creek, near Rhododendrum, and ac
cording to Mr. Jackson they are go
ing fast. Over fifty people now have'
cabins on lands leased from the gov
ernment, for which they pay $10 per
year for half-acre tracts. Since the
laying out cf the Mount Hood loop
road the demand for summer homes
in that vicinity has become heavy.
BUILDING NEW
BRIDGE HERE TO
TAKE 18 MONTHS
Proposals will be invited for the
construction of a new bridge across
the Willamette river connecting Ore
gon City and West Linn within the
next two weeks, unless some unfor
seen obstacle intervenes, It was learn
ed Wednesday by a delegation from
Oregon City and West Linn that made
a trlr to Salem for a conierence wirn
Herbert Nunn, state highway engi
neer. !
It appears that the state highwav
commission and the county court have
finally reached a definite understand
ing1 as to the financial end of the "sit
uation, and that as soon, as Attor
ney Devers, of the commision, passes
on the legal phases of the question,
that advertisements will be publish
ed and that bids will be opened some
time next month.
Th? estimated cost of the new-
bridge is $229,000. This r the max
imum amount authorized by the com
mission for what is known as the type
B" structure, as against $280,000 for
the type originally' proposed more
thai two years ago. The general ap
pearance of the bridge will be the
name as was first suggested, but the
steel construction will not be encased
in a heavy sheeth of cement, but will
have a coating of cement one and one
half inches thick, which will be ap
plied under the . gunite method, un
der high pressure. The structure
will have a width of 20 teet for ve
hicle traffic and pedestrian walks on
each side of four and one-half feet.
protected by 10-inch curbs. The
steel will not be required to carry as
heavy load as was outlined under
the original design, but the bridge will
be as durable and will carry a maxi
mum traffic load.
In the bridge design provision is
made for four comfort stations in the
four piers, but the state is not prepar
ed to finance the plumbing and eouip-
rment of these rooms nor the stair
ways leading down to them from the
deck of the structure. The main deck
will be covered with six inchees of
laminated wood, set on end, and will
have a surface of asphaltic pavement
to withstand the jar of traffic At
the Oregon City end of the bridge will
be a fill, which will be paved at the
expense of the city after it has set
tled.
Between 15 and 18 months will be
required to complete the structure,
and the old bridge may be used for a
short time after actual construction
starts, the new bridge being opened
for foot passengers before it is thrown
open for vehicle traffic. In the in
terval of probably a year, covering
the winter months of 1921 and 1922
provision will have-to be -made for a
temporary structure, of the pontoon
or some other type, but the state will
not take care of the financial end oi
this emergency.
Dr. Hugh S. Mount, representing
the Oregon city council; L. L. Porter,
recorder f West Linn; M. D. Latour
ette, E. E. Brodle and Wallace B. Can
field, of the Live Wires of the Com
mercial club were present at the con
ference, the first three being the
committee -that was appointed last
week to promote the conclusion of the
negotiations. Incorporated in the
settlement with the highway commis
sion by the county court is the ad
justment of the county indebtedness
to the highway commission for grad
ing and bridge along the Pacific high
way from the Multnomah to the Marl
on county line, and the appropriation
of $83,000 for Clackamas county's
share of the construction of the Mount
Hood loop road. It is understood
-he highway commission has agreed
lo accept the county road bonds in
part payment of the final settlement.

Congratulations
Solution of the problems that confronted the coun
ty court with especial relation to a new bridge across
the Willamette river at Oregon City will be met with
satisfaction and relief by not only the court itself but by
the public generally. The knowledge that the twin
cities are to be connected with a. modern structure, ade
quate for present and future traffic, is a matter of con
gratulation. It is gratifying to know that negotiations
have finally reached a point where the highway com
mission of Oregon is willing to take charge of opera
tions and arrange for actual construction of the big span
with the guarantee that the bridge-will be built with an
eye for beauty as well as utility and strength.
Some idea of the magnitude of the task facing
the engineers of the highway commission may be gained
from the statement that about eighteen months will be
required in the building of the bridge. This is no toy
affair, to be started and finished during the same sea
son. It is a project, the cost of which will run into
more than $200,000, demanding the best engineering
brains of the state, and the services of a contracting firm
with experience and ability. . ,
Along with the termination of the negotiations
over the bridge question comes the announcement that
an agreement has been reached under which the pay
ment of all indebtedness due the state by reason of the
grading of the Pacific highway will be met, and that the
appropriation from Clackamas for the construction of
the Mount Hood loop road will be financed to the satis
faction of the commission. In bringing about the fin-
ish of the most vital problems facing them, the county
court has acted wisely and may now face with enquan
imity the tremendous task of expending millions of dol
lars in giving Clackamas a system of permanent high
ways second to none in the state.
Some folk are willing to be on the level, but they
want to fix their own level.
The "flower of the family" sometimes looks as if
she has been dipped into a flour barrel.
It is not so easy for figures to lie since diaphanous
clothing has been adopted by so many women.

Dear Shandy:
Well, I told you I'd write you a few
lines to tel you all about things, so
you could tell the other boys. Many
might be interested.'. The watch
hasn't lost a minute and is admired
by all. I take great pleasure in tell
ing how I got it hot why, because-. 1
do not know why.
This is a pretty place fin Spring).
I guess it will be cold in winter from
what I hear.
The mill here is ground wood, sul
phite and paper, making 50 tons of
newsprint and commercial wrappings.
The mill at Nekoosa has four
machines, 90 to 100 tons, of sulphite
and sulphite wrappings, all colors and
grades. They make their own ground
wood, sulphite and Kraft pulps.
There are about 900 men, about one
half at each plant, three miles apart.
I am assistant to the president with
duties of manufacturing and operat
ing manager.
There is an electric car every hoar
between the mills.
A mill is located at Wisconsin
Rapids , making news and wrappings,
and now putting in a large news ma
chine 160 with electric drive like No.
9 at West Linn with wire 100 feet, 5
presses, 38 6-foot diameter dryers and
other equipment like No. 9. The mo
tors are 110 on couch, 75 on presses,
110 on dryers and calenders x 35 on

The breast roll is to be level and
the stock will be delivered to the wire
with a hydraulic head like I wanted
to put on No. 9. I believe before No.
9 gets full speed they will do that
to get good formation.
This new machine- is designed for
1200 to 1400 foot per minute and was
built by Beloit Iron Works at Belojt,
Wis.
There is a strike still on here but
a little thing like" a strike never
bothered me much, as you know.
I hope before the summer is over
to visit Oregon City and bring my
family over here, so I'll be in to see
you and shake hands with all my dear
friends in the paper mills of West
Linn and Oregon City, where I have
spent so many of the good years of
my life making paper, and incidental

least helping my fellow workers to
do so pleasant work to say the least.
