FOUR NEW STEEL
COUNTY
BRIDGES
CHEAPER IX "THE LONG

Aggregate Cost $3316, Ordered by
the County Court for Vnnsycle
Canyon, Wild Horse, Juniper Can
yon, and to Replace Dutch Hall
Bridge Will Bo In Readiness for

Structures.
By action Of the cauntv rnmrnla.
sioncrs yesterday afternoon four steel
iTiuges, aggregating a cost of $3316,
were purchased tf Easterriav A r
through their representative, A. E.
Eherhurt of Walla Walla. They are
all to replace' wooden bridges that
went out- during the snrinu- firing.
and are to be In readiness for travel
Dy June 1.
Of the four new hrlriroa n
t be cquare bridges with , 40 foot
nans and together will ovM 11828.
One of these Is to be used to replace
the Dutch Hall bridge, while the nth.
r will replace the old Stanton
bridge in Vansycle canyon.

be a skew brldg.t, to run diagonally
across a stream, and will have a 40-
fcot SD:in. It will I-a h.. i i
of the old Miner bridge on Juniper
canyon and will cost 11070. The
fourth bridge will be a 5ft. font v,o
bridge and will be Used nnmaa
Horse near Judge Halley's place. It
will COil 91 IB.
The action of the rnnri i k.,,h
steel bridge is In line with the pol
icy it ras pursued of late. However,
this Is the first time that simh , -
tensive order has been placed fir
small bridges.
According to JuAita minion it v...
been found that steel Is practically as
cheap as lumber for hriri
at this tme and Is far superior for
the purpose, for the reason that the
steel bridges will not rot nnr win
they wash away as readily In flood
limes.
In constructing; the hrirt irM Inst
purchased steel posts will be used
for abutments instead of ennpratp nr.
cept In one Instance. This Is the first
time that the court hnj, trtari ,i,in
steel for abutments and the commis
sioners believe considerable expense
will be saved by the Dlan.
In placlne fhe new hrlriiroa ntna nt
the lumber from the old bridges will
be used for flooring and aa a result
the work to be done Is classed as re
pairs. Such being the case it was
not necessary for court to advertise
for bids and the contract made with
Easterday & Co. yesterday was done
pnvaieiy. in defense of this action
tne members of the court declare that
had bids been asked for vni
fronths' time would be consumed
Slid much inconvenience caused as
the bridges will soon be needed badly.

70 brakemen and 80 conductors work

division. The present pay is (4-02 per
day for conductors and 13.06 per day
for brakemen In the freight service.
The Increase In wages demanded by
the present conference of the railroad

month of 30 days, making the total
increase for 70 brakemen and 80 con
ductors, $1188 per month. On the
