"They are serlsl bonds, by which 1 meant a certain percentage will be retired every year, the last bond being paid back ZO years from date. The Issue was sold at par, which.

Royal Worcester, Bon Ton, Warner, Redfern and New Marietta Corsets, Sahlin Waists Howd, La Beau, Marquise, Mme. Helene, Rengo Belt Corsets, Department 5econclloor The Greater ore Bltr Clanwhell Digger Is Set Vp on Improvised Barge Sandy Forma tion Slakes Cse Possible. Active work upon the west aide abut ment of the a R. N. bridge will begin this morning and will be carried for ward with the same speed that has marked the bulldlnf ot the east abut ment. A novelty In bridge construction will be the digging, on dry land, of the excavation for the big abutment by a clamshell dredger. One ot these powerful machines has been set up on an Improvised barge which rests on the stringers oi tne oia Alaska dock. The sandy formation of the river bank and the large amount of seepage from the river makes pos sible the use of the digger, which will greatly facilitate the digging of the excavation. The work will be hampered for a time by the presence of the old dock piles, among which the clamshell must find narrow passages, but as the earth Is drawn away from the plies they win be drawn out. after which the work can proceed much faster. The first ex cavation will be made on tne wing ot the abutment, which will lead down from the railroad dock. The abutment when completed will be somewhat fan- shaped, giving approach to railroad traffic and wagon traffic from different angles. Activity on the bridge work was not lessened yesterday because of the holi day, snd the vicinity of the new bridge presented snout tne only scene of in dustry on the river. One gang of car penters wss fitting for use the big slx c ham he red caisson which will be used In the construction' of the river pier. Another gang waa fitting up on a barge the concrete mixer through which will pass the thousands of tons of concrete which will be used in the construction of the piers In the river, some of It going more than 100 feet to bedrock. Work on the entire structure will be rushed, and the contractors hope to establish a record for speed In bridge building.

The difficulty In supplying a skipper for the Pulitzer arose over a difference of opinion regarding the salary that should be paid. The Commission allows $100 a month, while eligible captains thought that the Job waa worth more. The recent ruling of the United Btatea Inspectora that the crew of the Pulitzer should be Increased, Influenced the Com mission in standing firm on the offer of $100 s. month and for a time the schooner waa without a commander. Captain Jenaen has been quite 111 re cently, but as bis malady Is supposed to have been largely due to his b"c from salt water, it l thought that he will be able to keep the vessel at her work.

Mrs. Benjamin declares mat ner bus band came home in an intoxicated con dition and began to swear and strike at her as soon as he entered the room. He struck at her several times, she says, and threatened to injure her bodily. She became so nervous ana ingmenea that she says she did not know what she was doing when sne securea me revolver and shot her nusoana. as sne aw him fall she says she came to a realization of the deed, and, in order to calm herself, she decided to taKe a Arink of whisky. She at once tele phoned to the Sheriffs office that she had shot ner nusoana. jjnrs. dcujiuiiiu also called up The Oregonian by tele phone .to tell of the shooting. Mrs. uenjamin saia yiueiuy uim hr husband was not talking at ,the teimhone when the shooting occurred. but that he had called her up over the telephone Just prior to his coming home.
