v l ill ii mil I' mwma n BIG GELILO BRIDGE IS COMPLETED .(Continued from first page.) under the coping to 10 feet six inches and 12 on top. The pivo pier of the draw span over the Celilo Canal is octagonal, inscrib ed in a 30-foot square. A unique feature of the con crete and granite piers is that instead of having the entire pier encased with granite or even having the entire end beyond the corners faced with stone, the piers in the bridge have only a single nose stone at the extreme ends. The .longest span of the bridge is 316 feet eight inches, and is just north of the draw span and where the main channel of the Columbia breaks over the falls. On account of this large channe it was impossible to place timber falsework for the erection of this long span, and it was erected cantilever, the ends of the two halves being anchored back to the adjoining spans until they meet, in the same manner that the Crooked river bridge was erected. The east leg of the Y is 952.01 feet long, while the west leg is 849.05 feet. The main tangent of the bridge from the junction of the two legs to the Oregon shore is 2396.11 feet, making the total length 4197.17 feet. The total amount of steel in the superstructure is 5000 tons, In the excavations for the sub structure the following contents in cubic-yards w.ere handled: dry earth, 1734; wet earth, 202; solid rock, 5388; loose, rock, 1321. The cubic yardage of concrete used was 18,134; or granite nose stones, 1208; of granite in coping and belt courses, 803. The steel reinforcing bars used in the con crete weighed 155,300 pounds. No lives were lost during the construction of the entire bridge. The worst case of injury was to a man who fell from the deck of the bridge into a pool of water about two feet deep, 50 feet be lo v. This cushioned his fall, so that he was not seriously injured, and he was able to be at work again in a short time. Direct operation of trains into Central Oregon over the new bridge will mark the passing of the Celilo ferry, which has been used since September, 1910, for handling construction material and later for commercial traffic, cars being taken across the river on barges handled by the steam er Norma, and passengers trans ferred from train to boat and thsn to train on the opposite side o the river. The sub-structure of the bridge was built by Forter Brothers, of Portland, and the superstructure was manufactured by the Penn sylvania Steel Company and was erected by the Missouri Valley Bridge & lon Company, of Lea venworth, Kan. Ralph Modjeski, of Chicago, drew the plans and through Mr. Harps, had general supervision of construction. Ralph Budd, chief engineer for the Oregon Trunk, directed the work lor the railroad. wiKU in en ciosea out nis hblesale liauor business the fifstpTthe year" and left last Fndaytifor his future home on Crooked river.

Only 35 lynchinga, known to bo such beyond doubt, occurred in the United oiates in 1911. The Council of Ministers has decid ed not to allow the Salvation Army to carry on its work in Russia. During this week the state legisla tures of Kentucky, Maryland, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Mississippi and one or two other states will convene for their regular sessions. An ordinance granting a franchise to the Cincinnati Union Depot & Ter minal company to erect a new central station to cost $40,000,000 was passed by the Cincinnati city council. There are 500,000 cases of typhoid In this country annually, and some 50,000 deaths. There are 60,000 deaths annually from cholera infantum. Near ly all would be prevented if the fly nuisance was conquered. It cost the women of California 15.3c a vote to win their fight for equal suffrage at the recent state election, according to reports given out at the headquarters of the Southern Califor nia Political Equality League. Next year's straw hat will cost more than this year's, and the price will be still higher in 1913, owing to a shortage In the importations of straw braid, most of which comes from the province of Shan-Tung, China. Indiana probably is the only state In the Union in which five distinct campaigns are being conducted for as many candidates for the Republic an presidential nomination. Two of the candidates, former Vice-President Fairbanks, and ex-Senator Beveridge, are favorite sons. The other move ments are being carried forward in the intereat of President Taft, ex President Roosevelt and Senator La- Follette. Oil From Tomato 8eed. A new and very valuable oil has been discovered In tomato seed by an expert chemist in Italy. The oil Is useful in the manufacture of high grade varnish. It Is highly transparent, possesses great lasting qualities and dries very quickly without contracting and pro ducing cracks. In many canneries where the tomato Beed accumulated rapidly and it was quite an expense to got rid of them the, waBte product will uow become valu&ble, and new indus tries will be the result of the Italian's discovery. Vnrlfctles of tomatoes with moro seed than, others will now bo Hjoro valuable -than the ones that ex pert growers havo been giving us, which aro almost seedless.
