BRIDGE WILL PAY FOR ITSELF . ' By David E. Lofgren. I believe in the interstate bridge for the reason' that It la a connecting, link - In the .development of the great north west.' Great , thoroughfares centralise ... great wealth along the -way. The aa seised value of real estate at one land ing of 'the Eads bridgn across the Mis sissippi liver at St Louis increased . from $3,000,000 to 160,000.000 within a few years , after the . bridge was com- r plrted. It is a business proposition and will more than pay for itself from rev enue derived. Thtf user will pay for the bridge. " - - - " - EVIDENCE OP PROSPERITY " 1 By John P. Logau. Aside from the bridge being a great tie that binds the states . of the north west, with,' Canada on the .north and . California on the south. I am In favor of the Columbia river bridge for It. like the fine front of a dwelling and beauti ful home, gives to. the visitor .from abroad an impressive evidence of pros- . parity and solidarity of this grea com munlty. ' First impressions are lasting . as much with reference to communities ; as to Individuals. - The Impression ' of the bridge such as Is outllnedMo crosal the Columbia River is one which will add to Vancouver and Portland regions. BRIDGE IS TIMELY. DEMAND , : - ? ' By E. -O; Crawford. , ', ', The Interstate bridge Should be eon- structed a( this time. The entire coun- ty of Multnomah is' Interested In this , bridge. ' First 'Because ; It -a connected two great states by a modern mode of travel as against tha primitive one of ferriage and Its construction Is demanded by as great necessity ,aa' existed when the first bridge was built across the Willa mette at Portland, and will bring a a" ' great results, sysnjt -.r VTi,'Ar-".f. 3 ?! Second. Because It commercially an nexes to Portland the whole of south- . western Washington and . will, add to Portland' : wealth 1 and population more than any other local project now up for ' consideration.

I am in favor of. the interstate bridge for three reaaons: Financially, com mercially and industrially. . v . v v - All commodities . of Ufa are. brought Into the peninsula 'district by teams. .This Is a great detriment to the labor . lng people.'-; All of these extra expenses ' are taxed onto the consumer and wage earner who ' eventually ;? pays the bill. There, Is enough, produce going to waste In Clarke county to supply one-half nf the people In the city of Portland each Another reason, la that factories will , be encouraged on the peninsula and the working people will live adjacent to the factories, and the farmer will . be In close touch with'' the consumer.

At that, time It was an un-h-rd of event, but It provided the starter for the building of Greater New York and it focused the ryea of the world on that great engineering feat, Certainly the cltl-.ens of Portland nhould ' vole bonds for this interstate bridge by lending thnlr credit less than 60 cents per capita, r These bonds will be refunded from tolls now paid to the ferry.- I have heard no opposition to the bridge and I feel great confidence tt will carry 10 to 1 In favor of the bond Issue.

' I favor the Interstate bridge- because two great, populous, modern,-, wealthy communities should be-ashamed to view complacently a condition suited only to a pioneer community -with a handful of people struggling with poverty. . ' I favor the interstate bridge for vari ous .reasons, but above all. because it Is a great public necessity. Its conatruc tlon at this time Is a moral obligation: a political obligation resting upon the two commonwealths to bo benefited by this bridge, and a high social obligation rest ing upon the two communities separated by the Columbia to provide the con veniences of a decent civilization ' for each other.
