THE DAILY ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, FRIDAY "MORNING, NOVEMBER 16 1804 COMMUNICATED. Astoria, Oregon, Nov. 15, 1894. To the Editor: In my article ot yesterday suggest' lug the Idea that the city take upon itself tt-e construction oi the bridge across Young's Bay, I did not attempt to make any figures of the probabl cost of such a bridge as would be re quired. I have roughly estimated that the cojt would be about as follows Cost of structure already built and franehised, gay about $20,000.00; cost of widening (same for driveway and walk way, $10,000.00; cost of suitable dVraw, $40,000.00; cost of approach of bridge from Smith's point to draw, $20,000.00 making a total of $90,000.00. I make the above estimates from mj knowledge cf the costs of trestle worto here, street work and the estimate of engineers, which have been made of the cost of construction of the draw in said proposed bridge, and I think my fit'ures are very liberal. In fact, cor slderlng the present low prices of ma terials and labor, 1 am inclined to be. lleve the bridge can probably be built for $80,000.00. But let us say that it would coat $100;000.00, and that the yearly interest would be 15,000.00, th city then would receive yearly double that benefit, as a result of building the bridge over and above the revenu derived from the tolls collected. I re member being in Oregon City when the proposal to bridge the Willametti river at that point was before the county court and the common council of said city. There was considerable opposition on the part of some of the tax-payers to the building of the bridge on account of the cost thereof, and the fact that the ccur.ty was In debt some' thing like $50,000.00, on account of the building of a new courthouse, which . had just been completed. Finally, however, the proposition carried, and a free bridge was constructed by the city and county Jointly, at a considera ble cost. The completion of the bridge opened a new era of prosperity to Ore gon City and the surrounding country, and by a display of similar energy on the part of the officiate of said city and county, upon all occasions wher opportunity offered, that community has been thriving, improvements hav6 been going on, and the city building up despite the hard times through which we have recently passed, and are still passing. Even those tax-payers of Oregon City who were opposed to the construction of the bridge, now admit that they were wrong In oppos. ing it, and consider it one of the best Investments ever made by that com. munlty. Now is the time for our city to act in this matter. When a bridge shall have been built by private enterprise, it will be too late for the city to tak hold of the matter and reap the bene fit which it can reap by taking up the matter at the present time. A bridge built by the city at the present time will control the business in that dlrec tlon for many years to come MOSSBACK. A FAMOUS SHOW OF BEAUTY. The show of distinguished beauty, . transfixed by famous artists, which is now taking place at the Academy of Fine Arts in New York, has been an ticlpated by the Cosmopolitan Maga zlne in its November issue, in an article by Win. A. Coffin, with Illustrations of some of the more beautiful faces. The "Great Passions of History" series, has for this month's subject the romantic career of Agnes Sorel, who influenced the destinies of France under Charles VII. "The Art Schools of America," "The Great Britishi Northwest Terri tory," "The Chiefs- of the American Press," and the "Public Library Move. ment," are among the Cosmopolitan's table of contents. Survivors of the war and their children will find Interest in "The Story of a Thousand," a personal narrative begun in this number by Albion W. Tourgee, who tells In a graphic way, of a regiment which raw fierce service of Its organization, its marches, its sports, and Its death-roll. RELICS OF THE COLUMBIAN FLOOD. - Memaloose Island, In the Columbia river below The Dalles, is the location of a somewhat ancient Indian burial ground. During the high water In the lordly Columbia a few months ago, many of these graves were washed out, and the bones of many a savage chief were exposed to the gaze of the curious "pale face." Among the relics washed from this aboriginal cemetery were several art! clcs of value. One person feund $8 in old silver coins, another man picked up an old-time pistol of the model when they had flint-stone Instead ol gun caps or cartridges In such wea pons. M. W. Lassley, of this city, found an old presidential campaign medal which was struck off half a century ago. Thin medal, made of copper oi brass. Is about the size of a quartet of a dollar, and bears on its face a picture of a log cabin. On the reverna s!de is the Inscription, "MaJ. Gen. W. H. Harrison The people's choice In the year 1841 Born, Feb. 9. 1773." This medal was used at the time when Gen. Harrison was elected president over Martin Van Buren. Harrison's friends would shout In that hot campaign, "Little Van la a used up man," and an other battle cry was, "Tlppecano and Tyler too." As the student of history well knows, the battle of Tlppecano was fou?ht between Gen. Harrtscn and Tecumseh, one of the bravest and ablest Indian chiefs ever known. The Indians were beaten by the regular troor?. and Tecumseh was killed with hunc-eds of his fierce warriors. It Is said Tecumseh had formed a 'eague cf Irdian nations reaching from Can ada tu the Gulf of Mexico. They ex pect to wipe out the "pale face" from the then Great West, but their bloody cause fell when Tecumseh gave his last war whoop. The medal mentioned rtwalls these interectir.j facts. Albany Democrat. A CLCLONE'NO REMAIN3. Some years ago an Irishman died In Ohio, and a telegram was sent to his brother In Indiana notifying him of the fact, t The brother telegraphed back to have the remains s;nt home by ex press, where they could, be given Chris tian interment. But the reply was tel eirraDhed tack in these words: "No remains a cyclone." This reminds one. of the recent elec tion; there are no remains of the Dem ocratlo party it was a cyclone.
