Harrisburg needs a bridge across
the Willamette river. There ia no
doubt about that. So is there a
demand for a bridge across the
North Santiam near Shelburn. Both
of these bridges will be erected in
course of time. But to think or to
consider the building of either in the
immediate future ia rank folly. The
cost at the present time and will be
for several years to come Is beyond
«consideration.
The present county court has been
willing, or was up to the present
year, to join Lane county in erecting
the bridge; but Ixne county would
