A bold conception which, if carried
out, will give New York something
fairly stupendous ia the way of I
concrete bridge, is now under con
ideration, says Cement Age It will
to be a feature of the bridge proposed
to be a tercentenary memorial of
llcury Hudson's voyage up the river
that now bears his name. It is to
cross the western end of Spuyten
Duyvil Creek (which separates Man
hattan Island from the mainland to
the north) and will form a part of
New- York City's elaborate driveway
and park system on the bank of the
Hudson, the Riverside Drive. The
object of the bridge, to serve as
monument of an important historical
event, calls for a monumental struc
lure, of course, and every endeavor
was made in the design to fulfill this
need. According to the plans sub
mitted to the Art Commission thy
arch has open spandrels, except near
the crown. The concrete ring is 725
feet in span between centers pf skew
hacks or 703 feet in the clear, with a
ccnter-to-center rise of 177 feet. It
is a massive concrete rib 70 feet wide,
with a crown thickness of 15 feet and
a thickness at skewbacks of 28 feet.
The rib is shaped to fit the possible
pressure lines so closely that tension
can never occur in any part of the
ring. The immense dead weight
makes the influence of liveload almost
negligible, and the possible effects to
temperature variation, etc., are rela
tively small. Steel reinforcing ribs
arc built in, however, primarily, to
reduce the compressive stress on the
concrete or (in another respect) e
ilnce the dead weight of the struc
ture. The steel is uniformly distrib
uted over the cross-section of the
arch. The arch carries a double deck.
The upper or main deck is a highway
floor, 80 feet wide between railings;
it has a 50-foot. roadway and two 15
foot sidewalks. The lower deck is to
carry four tracks of a rapid transit
railway, but as no such line U yet in
prospect the lower floor system is nor
to be put in place at first, but only
the necessary connections provided
for it Both decks have steel fram
ing, comprising plate girder stringers
framing into floor beams. The floor
beams are supportcd-in part by steel
columns which foot on the steel re
inforcing ribs of the arch and in part
by concrete curtain walls carried up
to close off the spandrel-spaces of the
relieving arches (secondary arches)
and the space between the main arch-
ring in the crown region where the
system of relieving arches is inter
rupted. In concrete there is nothing
even remotely approaching in magni
tude the proposed span. The Grun-
wald bridge over the Isar at Munich,
Germany, 230 feet in span, is the
largest completed concrete arch. The
Walnut Lane concrete arch bridge,
Philadelphia, now being built, has
slightly larger span, 233 feet between
faces of abutments. These spans be
come insignificant, even trivial, when
compared with that now proposed for
the Hudson Memorial Bridge. The
total length of the bridge, including
the ipproaches, is 2840 feet Its cost,
excluding special ornamental features,
is estimated at $3,800,000. About one
half of this is chargable to the large
arch and its superstructure.

P. J. Ritchcy, living on Seventh St.,

time I suffered from an acute attack
of kidney trouble. My kidney were
very irregular and secretion passing
very frequently and were attended by
severe pain. They were also very
scanty and my bladder seemed to be
very weak. I tried a number of
remedies that were taid to cure kid
ney trouble, but received no relief.
At last I law an advertisement of
Doan's Kidney Pills, and procured a
box. The pain left and at I con
tinued to use them the trouble entire
ly vanished. I gradually grew better
and now I am without a sign of kid

Firrt Steps Taken Yesterday to Se
cure a Habitat for Clatsop'
Fine Display.
Manager John H. Whyte, of the
Astoria Chamber of Commerce, held
an informal talk with the County
Court yesterday afternoon, in regard
to securing quarters for the perma
ncnt county exhibit it is proposed to
maintain here.
The court acquiesced in the use of
the court house basement .for such
purposes, but made no regular order
in the matter, and will not until the
floor of the basement shall have been
cemeted. Then it is conceded the ex
hibit may be lodged and maintained
there, under certain rules and condi
tions t. be arranged later between the
court and Manager Whyte.
The nucleus of the display will be
made from the Clatsop exhibit at the
State Fair last fall, and this will be
augmented steadily, from time to time
and from all sources, as notable con
tributions shall drift in to swell the
scheme of exploitation. , ;
Grasses, fruits, woods, flowers,
dairy product, mill stuffs, fish and all
the hundreds of fine specimens in
digenous to Astoria and Clatsop, will
find their own especal nook tn this
display and it should be made one of
the graphic and leading features of
the "city and county.
Due and timely notice of its in
stallation and readiness will be made
through the Chamber of. Commerce
and those with good and sightly
things in hand, or underway, will do
well to remember this ana pre
empt a niche in the fine parade of
products.

FIRST DAY OF REGULAR TERM
FOR FEBRUARY AND THE
GRIST OF PUBLIC BUSINESS
DISPOSED OF.
The Honorable County Court for
Clatsop county went into session yes
terday morning in the new and hand
some quarters at the new court house,
Judge Trenchard. presiding, and
Commissioners William Larson and
John Frye flanking him on either
side, with County Clerk Clinton in
charge of the documentary detail
The forenoon was devoted to th
examination of the current bills and
claims against the county and, the
ordering up of warrants in that be
half.
At the 'afternoon session the fol
lowing matters received the attention
of the court and were disposed of in
sequence:
It was ordered by the court that
the clerk enter a charge against the
various districts of the county, or
other proper parties, with the seggre
gated delinquencies in the matter of
the 1906 tax, as the same were vre:
ported back to the court by Sheriff
M. E. Pomeroy.
The allowance heretofore made in
behalf of the district attorney's office
in this city, for rent, at $18 per month,
was ordered discontinued by the
court, presumably on the ground that
that department, in common with all
others of the county, are now sup
plied with ample office room and fa
cilities in the new and beautiful court
house.
The county clerk was directed to
hereafter require from the justices of
the peace throughout the county, to
file a transcript with the county court
along with their cost bills for each
month; and that failing so to do, the
court will ignore the claims for the
session at which they should be con
sidered and allowed.
The completion of the new bridge
over Northrup Creek having been
reported to the court and duly ap
proved and accepted, it was ordered
that that structure be covered in; and
the clerk was directed to prepare and
forward notices calling for bids for
the doing of this! work, to' the super
intendent of Road District No. 12, in
this behalf.
An order was made and entered di
recting the purchase of 10 cords of fir
wood, for fuel, at $5.00 per cord.
