Of to j IS me- Photograph Showing Construction of Bridge Across Crooked River The above photograph of the Oregon Trunk Hail way bridge across Crooked River was taken several weeks ago and shows the dangers encountered by men engaged in the construction. The last section was swung into place Saturday, Sept. 2, and the engineers in charge expected to run trains across by the 15th of this month. The bridge is of the canti-lever type and while only 340 feet in length is the highest bridge of its kind in the Unite States, being 320 feet from the ground. The anchors at either end are set in cliffs of solid rock. No fatui ties occured and only one serious accident is recorded, one of the workmen losing a couple of fingers under a girder weigh ing several tons. The bridge has been the main factor in de laying trains to Redmond and Bend. It will be used by both the Oregon Trunk and 0. W. R. & N. Roads. AROUND THE WORLD IN SIXTEEN MINUTES Remarkable Journey of Nino Word Measago Sont Out the Other Day by Now York Times For the purpose of determining the time it would take to accom plish the feat, the New York Times, the other day, forwarded a message of nine words around the world by wire. It took exactly sixteen and one haif minutes for the message to make the journey of 28.G13 miles overland and under the seas of the two hemispheres. In that time it passed through the hands of eighteen diflerent agencies, operating land and sub-marine lines in the new and old world, traversed the United States and touched at the Hawaian Islands, Guam, the Philippines, China, two parts of India, Africa, Spain j and the Azores. It flashed along the bottom of the Pacific, Atlan tic and Indian Oceans, the Red , and Mediterranean Seas and Suez Canal and from Madras to Bombay buzzed its way through ! the primieval forests of the man eating tiger, panther, boa-con strictor and python, over the G50 miles of land owned by the In dian Government. The experiment has a special significance in view of the fact that fifty-four years ago this month, Cyrus W. Field saw his dream of electrical communica tion between England and the United .States realized in the suc cessful laying of the first Atlan tic cable and the transmission of messages between the two widely separated nations. That achieve ment, following the introduction of the hand telegraph ol iJro- essor Morse, by thirteen years, moved the world forward a thou sand years. With its aid Dewey was en abled to notify the world of the sinking of the Spanish Armada under Montojo, 7C00 miles away in Manila Bay an hour after that historic dieaster to Castillian as cendency in the Far East. As we think of this marvel the picture of Nathan Rothchild rid ing at top speed on a fiery steed over night to the coast of Bel gium with the first news of the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo and its dispatch by boat and re lays of trusted carriers, every forty miles from Dover to Lon don, unconsciously looms before us, as a ghost of the wistful past. Reverting in fancy to those prim itive days, as we felicitate on the wonder of the modern ocean greyhound crossing the Atlantic in four days, the world now re calls in amazement how it took eighty for Ben Franklin to make the journey to France on his mis sion for the American colonies. From the introduction of the cable dates most of those elec trical, engineering and other marvels which have since stirred the universe and fired the imagi nation of the progressive and thoughtful. Since then Alex- der Graham Bell has given us the telephone, Edison the won ders of the electric light, Bessi mer his great secret of modern steel making, Holland and Lake their sub-marine destroyers, De lany his time annihilating tele post automatic telegraph system, Westinghouse his striking me chanical inventions, and Marconi his marvelous wireless sys tem, not to overlook the auto mobile, the air ship, and the great inventions which have made possible the mile a minute railroad train, the skyscraper, the great canals, -viaducts and bridges, which facilitate com munication between communi ties and add to their comfort and convenience. Jager-Schmidt, a Paris journ alist, circles the globe in 40 days for his paper and makes Jules Verne's conception of such an undertaking in 80 days, once considered an extravagantly im possible accomplishment, look ridiculous. Assuredly the world is speed mad. The question is not how last is it moving, but when and where-if ever will it stop. J. C. Waymire, a former resi dent of Madras, now residing at Colfax, Washington, came in Thursday evening and is visiting at the home of S, E. Gray. "CENTRAL OREGON i WellDrillingCo.
