BRIDGING THE COLUMBIA.
A Great Kagineerlnc Peat In the Par
Northwest.
iThe completion of the great cantilever
ridge over the Columbia river at Rock
Bland, Wash., marks the accomplish
ment of the greatest feat of railroad en
gineering in the west. The Columbia at
Wanatchee, where the big bridge is be
ing built, is between 300 and 1000 yards
in width and from 12 to 200 feet deep at
low water. Its channel is worn deep
below the general surface of the valley,
and, though the annual June rise is 35
to 50 feet, it never overflows. After
many surveys and measurements the
company decided to build a bridge high
enough not to interfere witb navigation
rather than a drawbridge at a shallower
part, and support the same on piers.
At the point selected for crossing a
basaltic butte rises 500 feet above the
valley. The butte drops down to the
river in shelf-like terraces, and on one
of these shelves the western approach of
the bridge rests.
On the opposite bank stands a similar
butte, 200 feet above the water, and
through this butte a roadway has been
cut for the eastern approach. Two
hundred and fifty feet from the east
bank of the river is an island, or rather
a huge rock, on which the only pier in
the river is built. Between the rock
and the west bank flows the . main
stream, which is 416 feet wide and 143
feet deep.
The whole bridge is 916o' feet long,
not counting the minor approaches, and
is 120 feet above low-water mark and 70
feet above extreme high water. The
first span reaches from the bluff on the
west side, 250 feet, to a shelf above the
water line. The second, or main span,
reaches 416 feet above the main chan
nel to the island. It weighs 856 tons,
and in the center is 86 feet from top to
bottom of the structure. The third span
extends from the island to the east
bank. The entire bridge is built of steel
and wrought-iron. Seattle Herald.

HOKE SMITH'S ACTION-
Says that Settlers May File on Some
Improved Land.
The following letter was received by
the land office at The Dalles yesterday :
Department of the Interior, )
Washington, D. C, May 13, '93.)
To the Commissioner of the General Land Office :
Sir: By letter of March 9, 1892,
Messrs. Copp & Luckett, attorneys for
certain settlers upon lands within the
conflicting limits of the grant made by
the act of July 2, 1864 (13 Stats. 365) for
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
and that made by the act of February
27, 1867, (14 Stats. 409) for The Dalles
Military Wagon Road, requested that
their clients be permitted to make en
try of the lands settled upon, under de
partmental decision of February 17,
1892, (14 L. D., 187).
This conflict occurs opposite the un
constructed portions of the Northern
Pacific railroad, extending from Wal
lula, Wash., to Portland, Or., the grant
appertaining to which was declared for
feited and the lands restored to the
public domain by the act of congress ap
proved September 29, 1890, (36 Stats.
496).
The material facts covering the rights
of The Dalles company in the premises
are similar to those in the case of the
conflict between the Northern Pacific
and the Oregon and California Railroad
Company, considered in the opinion of
February 17, 1892, (.supra) wherein it
was held (syllabus) :
"The grant of the odd-numbered sec
tions within ' the overlapping primary
limits of the Northern Pacific and Cali
fornia roads, east of Portland, Or., was
for the benefit of the former company,
under the act of July 2, 1864, and the
forfeiture thereof by the act of Septem
ber 29,1890, is to the extent of the with
drawal made, under the sixth section of
the act 1864 ; and under said act of for
feiture, no rights of the Oregon and
California road are recognized within
the said conflicting limits."
In that case certain of the lands had
been patented to the Oregon and Calfor
nia company and a suit has been recom
mended to recover the title erroneously
conveyed, in accordance with the provi
sions of the act of March 3, 1887. C24
Stats. 556).
In the present case, none of the lands
have been patented, and so far as I am
advised, there has been no request on
the part of the Wagon Road Company
tor a suspension in the matter of res
toration of the lands.
In your letter of March 28, 1892, you
report that " the attorneys for the Ore
gon and California ask that the order for
the restoration be suspended, pending
the determination of the question in
volved in the courts, and the suspension
was directed Feb. 27th. and approved by
you on March 10, 1892. Precisely the
same questions are involved in The
Dalles Military Road grant, which is
overlapped by the Northern Pacific. It
was therefore concluded, in-the absence
of any direction bv you to the contrary,
to suspend the disposal of the lands
within the overlapping limits of the
grant last named, although no objec
tion to the restoration has been made by
the Military Road Company. No order
of suspension has, however, yet been is
sued." The question arises, should such sus
pension be authorized? Having deter
mined that the land was included in the
forfeiture declared by the act of Septem
ber 29, 1890, (supra), I am of the opin
iou that, aa declared by the act, they
are a part of the public domain and that

no suspension should be ordered to
await the result of any action in the
courts contemplated by those aggrieved
at my decision in the premises.
In the case of the Wisconsin Central
Railroad grant, (10 L. D. 63.), it was
held that certain lands were excepted
from the grant and the application for
suspension was made by the company,
pending judicial proceedings. This was
denied (11 L. D., 615), and therein it
was stated :
"If such action should be taken in the
present instance, it is not seen how it
could well be refused where any claim
is set up to a tract of land. Anyone
claiming rights as a eettlei or entry
man, which have been passed upon ad
versely by this department, would have
a right to expect that the particular
tract claimed by him should be held in
reservation until he had his rights
finally adjudicated by the Supreme
Court of the United States."
This applies with equal force to the
case in hand and I have therefor to
direct that no order of suspension issue,
but that the settlers upon such lands be
permitted to make entry thereofe, as in
other cases provided.
Herewith are returned the papers.
Very Respectfully,
(sgd) Hoke Smith,
Secretary.

First Visitors at Warm Springs.
Editor Chronicle Leaving Duf ur on
the 27th of May, headed for the Warm
Springs, our party, consisting of L. J.
Klinger and wife and A. Woodcock, ar
rived at the Indian agency the following
day. We found that the Indians had
not put in much of a crop. I think
they are somewhat discouraged on ac
count of having been eaten out ,by the
crickets, and the pests are here again
this year, though not so numerous as
two years ago. At noon we reached the
springs. Bathing is pleasurable and
grass is abundant. Fishing is not very
good, though we succeeded in catching
all we wanted to eat. We are the first
campers to arrive this season. We
found an old squaw camped here who
says the springs belong to her and that
she objects to whites bathing in them ;
she says she will have them fenced to
prohibit their further use by the whites.
We met here a Mr. Gray and family
from Iowa who are camping with us.
They came out to look" at the country
and seem to be delighted with the ex
perience of camping out.
