Celebrated Vood-Prnerrer Will Add Years of Life and Usefulness. to tbe Structure. "It's simply immense. "The old bridge has turned up trumps." "Feels like riding on a bowling alley." These are but a few of the encomiums passed oh the renovated Madison-Street bridge by the world on wheels during the past week. Bicyclists, roadmen, teamsters even the babies In the perambulators all Join the chorus of praise. It is a first class Job. and creditable alike to City En gineer Chose and the contractors, Wake field & Jacobsen, who carried out the plans. The pavement of Oregon fir blocks has been smoothly laid, and all kinds of ve hicles glide over It as easily as a skater on ice. Every timber In the structure has been as carefully examined and approved as the plates of a battle-ship. The result Is a perfectly safe and substantial bridge. Superadded to these merits. It possesses another virtue unknown to any bridge that has heretofore spanned the Willamette. This Is the positive assurance of long life and green old age. A guarantee of this lengthy existence, so dear to the heart of the taxpayer who pays the bills, is found in the fact that all the chords, girders and beams of the bridge have been treated with the world-renowned Carbollneum Avenarlus, a wood preserving preparation whose marvelous power of vitalizing timber and adding years to its usefulness Is now recognized by the leading engineers, shipbuilders and contractors of three continents. Before using It on the Madison-Street bridge. Superintendent Chaso assured him self of the valuable qualities of Carbolln eum Avenarlus. and he feels assured he has made no mistake. As he expresses It, the compound "has an aversion" to water, and In simple self-defense should be em ployed on every wooden structure sub jected to a wet ollmate like that of Ore gon. Besides the heavier Umbers, the paving blocks of three spans east of tbe draw have been coated with the preparation, and if the results of competitive trials in paving the streets of London count for anything. It Is certain these blocks will still bo in sen-ice when the rest of the bridge pavement has been three times re placed, unless. Indeed, Carbollneum Ave narlus is resorted to after the first failure of the weaker members. Let us rejoice. We have a good bridge, a strong bridge, and. best of all, a bridge that will last for at least a generation. WHERE TO DINE.
