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

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

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.
