"The county OOOrt is still wrestling wlih (lie problem of what to dfl with the Long Tom bridges. (Jolted BUtea engineers in charge of the government improvement of the Long Tom, ex iled an early removal of the bridge. To remove them and to replace them with such convenience as the engi neer require, will cost u large i-um of tuouey. The court has hail pielimih (try surveys made, to ascertain to wbal height a bridge under which staamtri could pass, would have to be lifted, The result tif these Investigations is almost startling. A list of upper river steamer , such as ply the Upper Will amette, together with the height of their smoke sticks, was strum). The engineer who furnished the list, said there would have to be proper Blear a i ice of the smoke-slacks under the bridge, at the highest stage of Wa cr. The length of the smoke a. k-f.n from 30 to 41 leet. Die Eugene, a steamer that, on ac ount of Its light draft, would he like ly to ply on th Long Tom has a smoke-stack 42 feet high. For tins lofty smoke-slack to pass under the bridge at the highest stage of water, would require a bridge to be elevaied into theatr a dlstauce of full 60 feet. This tall bridge would be in the naiure of a sky-scraper. A tall man on too of it could almost thump a marble over on the moon. It would be almost twice as high as the tallest store build lug in Corvallis, and more than Iwice higli as a telegraph pole, ll would be 40 foot higher tbau the Hundy bridge. What It would cost, nobody has tlgured out. It might go to $10,- 000. It would probably not lie less than $5,000. The alternative of con structing two such bridges, or of build lug two draw-dridges, or two ferries and hiring men to operate them is the problem with which the court stands face to face, and with which the Judi cial dreams are nightly hauuted. "Tuesday, Judge Woodwnrd atid Commissioner Buchanan visited the bjectional bridges. On Bundy's bridge, when they arrived there, was gathered a number of cltlzeus of the locality, anxious to kuow what the chances were for them to la) shut off in the near future, from comniunlcii tion with the outside world, by remov al of the bridges. They furnished In formation to the officials concerning the highest Btage of water that had been seen in the Long Tom during the past freshets On the 21st there is to bean aajournea session oi ine com missioners' court, for further consider ation of the brldtre question."

We all listened with close attention until she closed, when one lady exclaimed: Well, we have all been to New York City." Indeed, It did seem thai we could almost see the sights as she des cribed them. But just as we wets feel ing so Slated as if we really had seen this great metroiKilis, another lady re marked: "I was looking around among the ladies to see how many had really visited this great city, and I could And but three."
