Hay Destroyed
A thresher was set at a stack
on the Harth place below Tygh
this afternoon when sparks from
the engine caught in an alfalfa
stack destroying about 70 tons
of hay. This has formed a coal
which will require fighting for
some time to protect the rest of
the farm.
Mr. and Mrs. James Chalmers
have purchased the John Don
aldson home on Deschutes aven
ue. Mrs. Donaldson will give

month.

Sherar- Steel Bridge
Sherar's bridge, a historic land
mark of Wasco county and, with
Miller.s bridge among the first
crossings oti the Deschutes river
will soon be replaced by a modern
structure of wood and steel,
Plans are now being drawn by
the bridge designing branch of
the state highway department
for a btcel girder type bridge,
with wood flooring, which will
be constructed at Sherar's this
fall.
The old wooden bridge, which
has spanned the Deschutes river
at that point for nearly 50 years
withstanding the highest flood
waters and the heaviest of traffic
has finally had to bow before
Father Time.
Although the bridge is still con
sidered safe under ordinary
traffic, the tendency of the times
towa-d motor vehicles and heavi
er lea Is necessitated the install
ation of a more modern span at
this point, where the Deschutes
river is at its narrowest and ex
ceedingly deep.
Last wi iter the high water
seemed to threaten the old bridge
coming to a short distance below
its lowest timbers. Fate did not
decree, however, that it Bhould
come to such an untimely end,
after having withstood the vicis
situdes of many years.
Plans are also being drawn by
the highway department for a
modern concrete or sleel span ac
ross White river, on The Dalles
California highway. The exact
type of this bridge has i ot been
determined as yet It also will
oe constructed this fall according
to the present plan. Chro: icle.
Indian friends and relative, o'
Dan Teais, who was drowntd in
the Deschutes river at Sherar's
falls early Monday morning
while fishing for eels, followed
the body for nearly 15 miles
before an eddy swung it close
enough to the shore so that
they could retrive it.

The County Fair
The principal thing to be consid
ered in regard to a county fair is
not where it is to be held, but how
to get one and how to keep. it.
The Dalles appears to be out of
luck this year fo far as a fair
grounds is concerned, and there
does not appear to be any rcaon
able certainty that this condition
will be changed in the near fut
ure. Tygh Valley stands ready
to take up the burden, and offers
the finest location for a fair that
Eastern Oregon boasts.
The Tygh Valley fair is and
has been for some time a com
plete success. In the next few
years when the roads are com
pleted it will be a very short trip
from almost any section of the
county to Tygh. From The Dal
les the drive will be made easily
If an annual county fair is feas
ible in The Dalles, fine. But
there are many things which
make Tygh a desirable location
for a county fair and there are
residents of The Dalles who hope
to see the southern Wasco county
institution perpetuated and en
larged until it will be known all
over the northwest. Tygh organ
ization is now preparing for the
best fair they have ever held,
and should have the suppoi t of
every resident of this city and
of the Chamber of Commerce in
their efforts. Optomist
