Most of Needed Bridges Have Already Been Built ami General Policy of Economy Will Bo Followed Out Mile of Macadam Being Construct ed Near Weston Old Lee Street Bridge May Bo Replaced With Mod ern Structure. There will be but little road and bridge work done by the county during the coming year and In con trast with the past year the coming one promises to be a rather light one upon taxpayers. This will be partly due to the fact that most of the need ed bridges have now been built and to the further fact that the members of the court regard the time as Inop portune for heavy expenditures exc cept where such are absolutely neces sary. "Lust year we had to build many bridges and repair roads that had been washed out by the floods," said Commissioner Horace Walker to-day. We built many steel bridges and made other permanent improvements that were needed. I believe the people of the county were In good condition to stand the expense." "This year we will not have to make many permanent Improvements be cause the bulk of the work lias al ready been done. Then there Is a general tendency to economize at present and the county will follow that plan too." At present the only-Important piece of work being done "y the county Is the construction of a mile of madam road south of Weston. The farmers of that vicinity are helping the coun ty In the work and have done all the hauling while the coanty provided the crushed rock. May Replace Lee Street Bridge. Of bridge work there will be but little during the coming year unless the Lee street bridge Is replaced by a modern structure. For some time past the county court has been ready to join with the city in rebuilding that bridge and It may become Imper ative to make the Improvement this year The bridge was originally built at the expense of the county, but the ownership now rests Jointly with the city and county. According to Commissioner Walker the bridge is In a dangerous condition and It should be rebuilt this year. If the Improvement Is undertaken It will mean an expense of perhaps $20, 000 on the city and county combined for the old bridge will be replaced by an up-to-date steel structure. GROVEK CLEVELAND, ONLY EX -PRESIDENT, IS DEAD. (Continued from Page 1.) Independent, and "reform" movement support. He soon became known as the "veto mayor," using that prerogative fearlessly In checking public expendi tures that he deemed unwise, Illegal or extravagant. The reformed meth ods of administering the city's affairs, instituted by him while mayor, led to his election In the following year as governer of the State of Xew York, by a majority of 192,000 votes over his opponent, Judge Folger, the Re publican Secretary of the United States Treasury. All the traits of as siduous Industry, unostentatious dig nity, thoroughness and simplicity noted in Mr. Cleveland's early career were observable during his stay In Albany. His phenomenal success In the gu bernatorial election, as Indicative of the probability of his carrying Xew York and of attracting the indepen dent vote, "secured him the Democra tic nomination for the presidency in 1884. A Reluctant Candldute. It has been said that Mr. Cleveland was a reluctant candidate. His friends had many consultations with him on the subject, but be uniformly discouraged rather than favored the movement. It was Mr. Manning, who served during part of Cleveland's first term as Secretary of the Treasury, who commanded the battle that re sulted In Mr. Cleveland's nomination. The Democrats had not elected a president since the success of the Re publican party In 1860. Mr. Cleveland regarded tho con test as doubtful at best, and had lit tle Inclination Co round out a singu larly successful career with p national defeat. He had never been Intimate with the Democratic leaders of na tional fame, had traveled but little, and had the greutest aversion to any thing like ornamental parading In politics. Cleveland's nomination In Chicago was accomplished against the most aggressive opposition of Tammany Hall, led by the veteran John Kelley. Tammany was In absolute control of the City of New York, where It re quired nearly 100,000 Democratic ma jority to give the electoral vote of the state to a Democratic candidate. But Manning and his associates compelled Tammany to submit to have Its votes In the convention cast for Cleveland under the unit rule. The result was that Cleveland was nominated to make the fight against James O. Blaine, the Republican candidate. In the November election the popular vote, cast for Mr. Cleveland was 4, 911,017, as against 4,848,334 cast for Mr. Blaine. Prosperity Marked Administration. Cleveland's first administration was marked by general prosperity; by the admission of four new states (Wash ington, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota) to the Union; and by a freer use of the veto power than had generally been exercised by other Presidents. On the meeting of Con gress, In December, 1887, he devoted his annual message mainly to the ad vocacy of a roduction In tariff duties in order to prevent the further In crease of tho surplus in the U. 8, treasury. This message occasioned a prolonged discussion of the principles of protection, and furnished the issue In the national political campaign of 18S8, when Mr. Cleveland was re nominated by the Democrats, and Benjamin Harrison was chosen as the Republican candidate. Although the former received a popular majority larger than he had In 1884, the latter had the greater number of electoral votes and accordingly on March 4, 1889, Mr. Cleveland loft Washington and removed to New York to engage In the practice of law. The defeat of 1888 was accepted by most of the Democratic leaders as fi nally disposing of Mr. Cleveland as a national factor In the Democratic party. But when 1892 rolled around choose Its standard bearer, the Demo cratic leaders were compelled by the overwhelming sentiment of the Demo cratic people to assent to his third nomination. The contest In the Chi cago convention of that year was a desperate one. It was on that occa sion that Bourke Cockran delivered his memorable speech against Cleve land. The nomination was bitterly fought by the delegation from his own state of New York. But on the first roll call. Mr. Cleveland was nom inated by a few votes more than the necessary two-thirds. In the election Mr. Cleveland received a popular plurality of 380,810 over Mr. Harri son. Second Administration. Cleveland's second administration was simply a continuation of the pol icy that ruled him during his first term, Xew questions arose of the greatest importance, but he met them all from precisely the same stand point and with the same purposes that always distinguished him In his public career. The Democratic ma jority In Congress was opposed to him on the money issue and the antagon ism at times became extremely bit ter. His attitude in the Venezeulan affair won him general praise as did also his promptness and firmness in suppressing the disorders growing out of the great railroad strike that centered In Chicago. But he had lost caste with his own party and the panic that swept the country during his administration made him unpopu lar with the people at large. Hence there was no talk of his renomlnatlon in 1896. When Mr. McKlnley suc ceeded him In the presidency Mr. Cleveland retired to Princeton, X. J., to spend the remainder of his days In the quiet university town. Mr. Cleveland was the only Presi dent married in the White House, where, on June 2, 1886, Frances Fol som, the daughter of his old friend and partner at the Buffalo bar, be came his wife. Ruth, the first of their children, was born Oct. 3, 1891, at their home In Xew York city. She was named after Mrs. Cleveland's grandmother. During Mr. Cleve land's second term as President she was widely known throughout the country us "Baby Ruth." On Jan uary 7, 1904, she died at Princeton of heart failure, occasioned by a mild attack of diphtheria. Esther, the second daughter, was born September 9, 1893, and has the distinction of having been the only child of a Presi dent born In the White House. Har Ion, the third daughter, was born at Buzzard's Bay, the Cleveland summer home. July 7, 1895. There was great rejoicing in the family when the three girls were followed by a son. He was born at Princeton October 28, 1897. With the announcement that a boy had come to the house of Cleve land the students at Princeton dubbed him "Grover Cleveland, Jr." at once. This name sticks to him, though -he was christened Richard. Another boy was born at Buzzard's Bay July 18, 1903. He was named Francis Grover for his mother. C'Ol'RT STREET NEARLY READY.

As a result of the June election, at which so large a part of the state went dry, officials of the Southern Pacific are making preparations to put the lid on trains through the dry counties, says the Eugene Guard. Xo liquor may bo sold on the trains while they are passing through Lane or any other of the dry counties of the state and passengers will be obliged to do without intoxicating beverages they especially favor. From Gregory, on the state line to the south, to Jefferson, where the Southern Pacific crosses Into Marlon county, the first oasis In this state for northbound UVns '8 about 300 miles, almost a day's run. Through all this dreary waste of country, pas sengers on trains will not be able to get a drop to drink to assuage their raging thirst. The passenger department of the Harrlman lines are preparing to have printed on the menu cards In the diners that drinks cannot be served on board trains while passing through dry counties. The same plan Is fol lowed In the east, when dry states are crossed by railroads. Passengers avoid tho desolating effects of this regulation, however, by buying a suf ficient quantity of wet goods before the lid Is clapped on to last them un til the train rolls Into a state where the saloons have not yet been ban ished and the blanket of prohibition spread over the state. The railroads cannot do otherwise than comply with the law In regard to'selllng liquor In dry territory, and the passengers must abide by the re strictions.
