At that time the class of bridge waa not modern, many were low and others too short to span properly the current which was expected to be in evidence at the spring aeaaon.

Since the flood 18 steel brldaes have been built In Umatilla county. They have replaced the cheap structures made of wood, and have been placed high enough to allow an ordinary flood to work out Its wrath without dolntf any possible damage. In the last few months 111,660 lias been paid out on bridge contracts. A year aso a flood did more aarnar t the roads of tha county than had ever been dona In a single year, but bridges escaped because so few were to be found. Great changes In roads resulted. In many places the channel of streama being changed entirely, ne cessitating the laying out and opening ef new stretches of roads along creeks. nd wherever the rush or the water had a chance to wash away the soli. Much of the land Is of gravel forma tion, and it washes steadily when the spring freshets occur. umatuia county nas B.70o miles or ubllc roads, some of the lines being mountainous districts where streams are numeroua. Much of this Immense roadway is hard to keep up, and bridges have always been a constant source of annoyance and expense. It must not be forgotten, either, that the Umatilla In dian reservation Is located In this coun ty, where no roads, not even cow paths, re allowed, ana tne inaians inaicate clearly Just where the improvised roads shall be located. No road worn can tie done on the reservation, which reduces greatly the cost of maintaining road nd bridges In the county, linages anj culverts are built by the men who rent the land from the Indians, without out side help. County Owes 190,000. But for tho floods of two years ago and last year, Umatilla county would have been free from debt As It is. the county owes about 90,000 In scrip, there being no bonded debt. Every two months a call for scrip Is made, and the last call carried the warrants up to within a year of issue. All bills of the county are paid In warrants or scrip. and us paper rinas reaay sale at its face ,values All the work done (luring the past two years has been of the permanent cnaracter so mucn needed over tne northwest. The bridges have been of steel construction, with foundations and abutments of steel tubing or of cemen and stone, or, In some cases, of con crete. No farmer comes to town now with the dread In his mind that when he attempts to return home he may be conrrontea witn a swonen stream un bridged and that he may be forced to return to town or camp beside the flood until the mountain stream runs Its course and allows the waters to subside. fn" , 1' 1 " : 1 1 i .i.i. ii. , . . i i . .ii . .,.,,11 TENNESSEE DELEGATES WILL INDORSE TAFT Winners at Emeryville.
