Under date of March loth, the follow
ing Dalles dispatch appears in the Tele
gram :
"A special joint meeting of tho com
mon council of this city nnd tho bridge
commission appointed by the stale leg
islature in 1805, was held last night for
thepurposoof considering the proposi
tion of L. Gerlinger, president of the
Columbia Valley Railway Company, in
regard to the construction of a bridge
across the Columbia river at this point.
"Congress in tho early 00', or nbout
tho time tho North Dalles boom was
started, authorized the building of n
bridge across the Columbia at any point
within a stretch of five miiea along The
D.illes waterfront. This authority has
never been taken advantage of. The
state legislature in 1895 passed a bill
authorizing tho city of The Dalles to k
sue bonds to the amount ol $50,000 for
the building of such a bridge, and named
a commission of five members under
whote direction the money wa9 to be
spent and the bi idge built. These bonds
have not yet been issued, and as no ster s
have been taken to bridge the Columbia,
the bridge commission has had nothing
to do.
"Now that the Columbia Vtlley Rail
road is in need of n bridge at some
point near The Dalles, an effort iB being
made by Mr. Gerlinger, its piomoter, to
secure the co operation of the bridge
commission and the common council of
this city. Mr. Gerlinger also wants the
f50,000 bands that may be issued and
the franchise granted by congress for
the building of the bridge.
"As the people cf this city are 11.11 h
interested in tho projected road, the
probabilities Jare that Mr. Gerlinger will
iret all he asks for. Roth the council
and the bridge commN.-ion are very
favorably disposed towards the new road,
and while no action was taken last
night the representative of Mr. Gerling
er, who was here, left satisfied.
The Telegram com men .'s on the diE
patch as follows :
"When seen in regard to the foregoing
dispatch, L. Gerlinger, president of the
Columbia Valley Railway Company,
confirmed the statements contained
therein. He said bis company desires
and proposes to secure a bridge across
the river at Thu Dalles, and division
terminal facilities in that city. J. D.
Mann, Mr. Gerlinger's confidential
agent, who has been active in promoting
the project at The Dalles end, thought
that a bridge, such as the road would
construct, would cost $200,000. From
bank to bank the distance is 170 feet.
One span will answer. There is every
indication that thu work of construciion
down the Columbia will be pushed
without delay. Tho United States rev
enue office has just issued to Mr.
Gerlinger $2079 19 worth of documentary'
stamps, of 2, 3 and 4-eent denomina
tions. In the lot were $500 worth of 4
cent staiupe. What these are for is only
surmised, as Mr. Gerlinger is not will
ing to take the public into his con
fidence. Bol they are of the kind gen
erally used for bonds. Tho natural
conclusion, therefore, is. that the tail
road company has sold bonds, and has
plenty of capital to go ahead with the
construction work. In any event, when
such a quantity of stnmps as $000 worth
is needed there is evidence of some kind
ot a lnrge business deal. It has been
currently reported that Mr. Gerlinger
tried to acquire the old bridgo pier at
Vancouver, with the idea of bridging

Ten pairs of Cninese pheasants have
been turned loose at the following point?
in and near Goldendale: At Golden's
meadow, inside the citj limits ; at the
Elam Snipei homestead, three miles
down the Little Klickitat, and at the old
Alexantler "place on the Yakinn road, a
point a few mileH above Goldendale.
Tho cost of these birds to the Kod and
Gun Club, of Goldendale, was SO 80 per
pair, delivered at Goldendale, and they
were shipped from near Albany. Or.
Dr. R. E. Stewart, of Goldendale, was
the prime mover in the introduction of
the game bird into the Klit k'tat coun
try. It has been arranged and under,
stood with the Klickitat settlers that
the new birds will be protected from de
struction without the aid of the Waal -ington
law now in vogue. It is supposod
that the pheasants will wander into the
spurs of the Simcoe mountains in sum
mer, and in winter drop down on the
sheltered places of the Big Klickitat
river, and possibly some may wander cn
to the Yakima river and to tho banks of
the Columbia. The little boys nnd girls,
as well as tho other people in and about
Goldendale have boen on tho alert to see
that no harm cime to the birds.
