TEMPORARY SPAN TO BE
FINISHED ON SCHEDULE
Towers for 5th Street Bridge
to be Completed by End
of Present Week.
The erecting of the towers for the
temporary bridge across the Willam
ette river, which is to care for traf
fic while the new span is under con
struction, will be completed by the
end of this week, if no unforseen de
lays occur.
The work of sinking concrete I
beams for deadmen to hold the
ends of the bridge cables is rapidly
nearing completion. Timbers for the
light span towers are sawed, and as
soon as they can be bolted together
and the towers completed, the string
ing of cable will follow.
Under present plans, the light
bridge, according to foreman Harry
Clow, should be completed within not
more than a month. As soon as the
cables are swung, a double crew of
men will be put to work placing the
hangers and the beams and flooring.
The old bridge at 7th street which
is to be replaced by the new structure,
will be closed to automobile traffic
January 2, but is to remain open to
foot passengers until the temporary
structure is completed.
Battery Dopes Are
' Bunk Says Willard
There are so many wonderful things
being done every day that when a
man says he has a solution of very,
very secret nature, with some peculiar
metal in it, which put new life into a
battery, nine out of ten people are
ready to belieye him witholut question.
The whole scheme of battery doping
seems so plausible that dozens of com
panies have been led to start, in busi
ness manufacturing "dopes" of various
sorts.
Some of these battery medicines are
really harmless, and the worst that
can be said about them is that they do
no good except that they relieve the
car own of five or six dollars which he
might invest in gas, tires, oil, or some
thing else more needful to the car.
There are others that do actual harm
by taking active material away from
the battery plates and by introducing
foreign substances into the battery so
lution. As result of a recent checkup on
the subject of battery dopes, the Wil
lard Storage Battery Company found
that all makers of standard well
known batteries are agreed upon the
fact that the only satisfactory "battery
solution is diluted pure sulphuric acid
of the proper density. Emphasis
should be placed on the word "pure"
for any foreign substances are liable
to cause trouble in the battery. There
is nothing, sy these manufacturers,
that will improve upon the pure sola
tion that is put into the battery by he
manufacture! s and their authorized
service stations.
The sum and substance of the bat
tery builders' advice is that the way
to keep a battery in condition is to put
water in at regular inervals and keep
it charged ayhen necessary, and to re
member thaJDope" whatever there
may be in it can never take the place
of proper attention.
H. D. Olson In Oregon City
H. D. Olson, former resident of Ore
gon City, who was local agent for the
Southern Pacific Railroad company
for two years, now traveling freight
agent for the company, with head
quarters in Portland, was in this city

Carus Resident In City
Mrs.' Otto Schmeiser, of Carus, was
among the Oregon City visitors Wed
nesday. Sidney J. Williams,- Secretary of the
National Safety Council, stated recent
ly that the economic loss caused by
industrial accidents amounted to one
billion dollars annually.
Bridge Problems
Whether or not there is to-be a bridge squabble re
mains to be seen, but indications on the surface point to
developments which may mean the stoppage of con
struction, and an alteration of the. plans under which the
big structure across the Willamette is being built.
Much interest awaits the report of the committee
appointed by the Live Wires Tuesday. There have been
so many things intimated, that the general opinion is
that something is wrong. Whether investigation will
reveal this or not is unknown. Nevertheless, based up
on the statements of members at the Live Wire meeting,
it is reasonable to suppose that the present plans for the
construction, of the bridge will hinder and perhaps en
danger navigation. -
Steamboat men who have been wont to hug the
west bank of the stream will have to find a new channel,
as the arch of the bridge is so designed that top-masts
and head-works" will be broken if the old route is follow
ed. And they claim that the center of the river is danger
ous; that the current, coupled with the back-eddies make
it impossible to control the type of boats which ply this
stream, as they are decidedly flat-bottomed, requiring
but slight draft. -
The alternative to fixing the bridge as they say it
should be fixed, with the west pier resting on the bank
of the river, is to tie up river traffic during.certain periods .
of the winter. This means hardship on local industry.
On the other hand, provided! it was proved that the
pier should be moved, the state engineers in charge of
construction point out that an enormous expense will be
involved, that the job will be delayed, the thousands of
dollars already expended for foundation and steel fabri
cation will be lost, and that the utility and beauty of the
bridge will be impaired.
The result of the investigation will be awaited! with
interest.
