The big bridze over the Rny has made rapid progress since
our last visit. The structure on the Oakland side reaches far
out over the water, and no doubt a properly trained cross be
tween a kangaroo and a flying squirrel could hop from the last
steel beam to Goat Island, without getting its fert wet. On the
island steam shovels were puffing and chugging away at the
tunnel and rivetting machines were popping like machine guns,

"Ahs" and two of them did nothing but grind away at movie
cameras until the ferry boat landed at the Ferry building. Only
one warship visible in the harbor. The last time or was it a
year ago the "fleet was in!" . ,
Whom should we meet on the bow of the ferry but R. K.
Blankenburg, of the Gold Hill News who is en route to Omaha,
Nebraska via Los Angeles, where he intends to have his new
car delivered (it's a Ford, Pop, so count this as a free ad, with
the M. T.'s compliments.) He reports the eement plant running
full blast night and day and Johnny need feeling much better

weeks ago he suffered a ruptured appendix and came close to
"popping out" as he expressed
nothing through his mouth not

from the Roschurg hospital to

and what a heritage of good will and better citizenship that

It may be the wonderful day in part, but everything appears
brighter and happier and more cheerful in San Francisco than
was the case a year ago. Then several of the best known hotels
were closed and many stores vacant. Now everything seems
to be full up and going full steam aheud. And judging by the
lunch we ate, prices feel the same way. It wasn't much" of a
lunch but it made a dollar look like HO cents, not including the
sales tax. Rut when the sun shines and San Francisco steps out,

Slab of Provolt Marble
Quarried 1880, Used in
Washington Monument
(By Esther Bristol.)
PROVOLT, Or.- (Spl.) A recent article In tha Mall Tribune oonwnlng
the Urn deposit now being worked by the Oregon Lime Products company
aroused much dlacuaslon mong the "first famlles" of Provolt and Wil
liam. In the former, article, it a erroneously stated that the deposit
waa d Hoovered by one Al Jones, monument maker. It haa been learned
alnca that Mr. Jonea did work and patent aome of the land now owned by
the Urns company, but that wsa only as far back as 1001.
Heminiscencea of pioneer resident
of the valley dtaclose the fact that
a large piece of marble vu cut from
this quarry sometime s round 1830, to
be used In the Washington monu
ment at Waahintgon, D. C. Charles
Oougle, son of Abraham Cougle. one
time owner of the deposit, recalls
that when he waa eight or nine years
of age a marble cutter by the name
of Ruaaell, or Aahtand, c-une to this
deposit and worked for days cutting
the atone.
Harry Cougle, a brother of Chailes.
remembered that Mr. Russell stayed
at their home while he was engaged
In cutting the rock. "Mr. Russell.'
declares Mr. Cougle, "got the rook
under government contract. He waa
assisted in the cutting by a miner by
the name of MOarvy, who lived
near here. Wooden pegs were drlvtm
by hand Into the rock and the block
waa broken off clean in this manner.
The first rock split after they had left
here with It and It waa necessary to
return for the second. I remember
how put out Mr. Russell waa becauM
of this, for It took the profit out of
his venture.
There were no railroad any closer
than Roseburu or Redding, so the
big block, weighing close to four tons,
was hauled by horae to California,
where It was put on the cars. My
cousin. O. K. Rose, hauled the rock
down with hla team.'
Account vary a to how far Mr.
Russell got away from the plant with
the first block he cut. (Some say
he got only a far a Ashland before
a flaw tn the rock broke It In two;
others say he got clear to Redding
before the rock cracked.
The Washington monument w.s
completed in 1884. The block here
was cut sometime aroumt 1880. The
monument for the first iSI feet is
built of dressed white Maryland mar
ble, MAASAChuaett marble and New
England granite. Above that, the
wall are entirely of marble and tn
these walls are memorial atones with
Inscriptions, contributed by nearly
every atate in the Union.
As far as anyone can recolect, the
first lime from trtla deposit waa burn
ed in the 1880 a. by two men, Mc
Oarvey and Snowden They used
home-made kilns. dig into the hill
side. On December 1, 1873. O. P
Topping homesteaded a 'are acre
age which included the marble de
posit. He, too, built a kiln on the
property and furnished lime for near
ly ever home then betnt built In the
valley. The remain of several kilns
can still be seen.

In 1877. and signed by Pr-vlnt t'

of Simon Messlnger, recalled that hla
ratner burned lime with that rock
80 year ago. For year a certain
field on the Messlnger property was
called "Lime Kiln Field.' There, huae
logs were plied, the rock dumped on
top and log again atacked until the
pile of rock and wood towered 13 to
14 feet high. It would burn for days.
Lime for a number of early arant
Paa bulldlnga waa obtained from this
deposit.
An amusing incident In the life of
O. E. Rose, the man who hauled the
rock, waa uncovered, although It has
nothing to do with the Urn deposit
story. Mr. Rose cams to thl coun
try In about 1857, when he wa a
lad of only nine or ten. He came
acrosa the plains with an emigrant

weather, the train traveled only at
night. One morning, in the early
hours, aa the long line came to a halt
for the day, the boy horse was dis

set out to find the boy. They found
him several mile back, still faat

had fallen. The fall from the horse
to the ground had not bothered his
slumbers one whit.

HAVK YOU EVER HAD
Mrs. w. A. O. offered the follow
ing suggestion, in which Mrs. L. B.
happened to concur.
Lie on the back and slowly lift
cramped leg to an angle. Thla never
XPm falls to re
lieve cramp and
straighten out
the kink.
Some victims
of these cramps
find It necessary
to get out of bed
and stand or
walk about the
floor on their
toes for a few
moments.
Others remain
In bed and press
the toes firmly against the footboard
of the bed for a few seconds.
M. L. D. simply turns the toes of
both feet Inward, tn the pigeon-toed
position, as far a possible, holds
them like that for IS to 30 seconds,
then goes back to sleep.
The Interesting remedy a Snn Fran
cisco physician ha found helpful was
reported In this column Friday, Jan
uary 4, 1935. Thla Is a course of med
ication with calcium lactate, chloride
or gluconate. The victim of leg cramps
may take say ten grain of any of
these calcium salts three time a
day, directly after meals, dissolved In
water and flavored with syrup and
fruit Juice, and should continue this
for a period of at least six or eight
week. But even a few dose may
bring relief for several nights.
Now I'll tell one. If you old timers
don't mind. My preventive or remedy
may strike you old fogies as too ab
surd. I've noticed that many of the
best things in modern medicine strike
old fogies 110 that, old fogies In the
profession as well a dumb laity. But
the beauty of the remedy la that you
don't have to take It. I simply offfr
It. You may leave It or take it. Re
member, I get my pay whether you
like my treatment or not. With me
It Is a matter of no pay no cure. But
don't envy me. brothers; I served 10
year In the mine before I ever got
thl way.
My suggestion Is that one subject
to either night cramps or day cramps
aa described should make It a habit
to roll himself or herself half a dozen
somersaults on the floor each night
and each morning.
I don't want to hear any wisecracks
about thl. I have heard them bo
many time that they bore me. If you
take the Idea seriously but do not
know- Jut how to go about rolling
them, I'll be glad to send you a mov
ing picture which tenches you Just
how to do It If you will provide a
stamped envelope bearing your ad
dress. How much In earnest I am about
aomersnuKs may be indicated by the
fact that I roll 'em myself, not Just
morning and night, but many times

There are establishments with big

that they are occupied only a few

no tskers. And there sre pent houses,
fully furnished, that may be taken

Qt'ESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Stove Without Flue
Using two-burner kerosene heater
In small apartment. It has no flue
pipe. I suffer much from dull head
ache and wondered If the stove 1 the
cause. (Mrs. P. H. M.)
Answer. The air of the room be
come vitiated or exhausted by any
fuel burning in It, without a pipe or
chimney to carry off the products of
combustion. Coal, wood, gas, oil, kero
sene, gasoline. It doesn't matter which
fuel is used. Then, too, there 1 al
ways a chance that some carbon mon
oxide may pollute the air, and that
is exceedingly Injurious to breathe,
even in the slightest trace. For com
fort and safety every such stove
should have proper connection with
the chimney flue. Where open gas
plates are used, at least one window
In the room should always be kept
open while the gas la burning. Pol
lution of the air by carbon monoxide
very likely cause the headache you
describe.
Lost, Some Cotton
On a recent very rainy, damp day I
placed some coton in my right ear.
as I have found that this seemed to
prevent a sort of ringing In the ears
In such weather. After I had put It
In the ear I realized the amount wk
too small and tried to remove It, but
was unable to get hold of It, It Is
itill there. Is it likely to cause trou
ble later on? (Miss R. E.)
Ans. You should never Insert any
thing In the ear without medical ad
vice. You had better have the physi
cian examine the ear and remove the
cotton If it Is there.
CoriVe Substitute
Recently a guest of friends. I was
given a coffee substitute which I
liked better than any coffee. It Is
made of a mixture of dried carrots,
tirted wheat and dried acorns. Is
there anything harmful In using this
in place of coffeee? Ha It any bene
fit? (Mrs. K. J.)
Ans. It Is harmless. Roasted
acorns have been used as a coffee
substitute In Germany for a century
or more. The decoction would scarce
ly have the benefit which coffee has.

THE Portland Traction company,
which 1 what is left of the old
street car company, asks for a new
30-year franchise.
At the same time, the city council
receives from the - Portland Motor
Coach company, a new outfit, an
offer to give the city mas trans
portation in streamlined, alr-condi-tloned
gasoline busses at lower fares
than now charged by the street
car company,
TWO lesson stand out.
One 1 that of pro
change. The motor bus, quieter and
more flexible, gives service that the
people of today prefer, and because
It runs on streets built by the
public It la able to give CHEAPER
service.
That la happening all over the
country.
THE other lesson Is thl:
Street car companies. In on wav
or another, become Involved In poll
tics, and politic brought about their
ruin. It 1 doubtful if a wholly
solvent street car company la left
In the United States.
If you want your business to re
main sound, keep It out of politics
at any coat.

SENATOR BORAH, a headline tells
us, demands the junking of NRA.
Some such demand was Inevitable,
sooner or later. NRA, as originally
conceived, was all right as a DREAM,
but all wrong from the standpoint
of practice. It proposed reducing all
business to a dead level everybody
buying at the same price as every
body else, everybody selling at the
same prloe a everybody else, ana
no place left for the exercise of In
dividual Initiative and energy.
If the time ever comes when such
a system will work In thl country,
thl win no longer be the America
built by our sturdy forefathers.

It contained $528 In currency. He

sergeant with the explanation :
"Somebody might need trhs."
THE story, of course, gets on the

The combination of the liberal re

Crime cost the nation, our land of
free and brave people, $13,000,000,000
every year. How many hungry men.
women and children could be fed and
clothed and educated for $13000.
000.000? Think of the milk Unc e
Sam could buy for undernourished
children, for $13,000,000,000.
Think of the back salaries that
could be p;itd Id school teachers and
college professors with even part of
that $13,000,000,000. From what I
read these days, I am led to suspect
that sundry of our statesmen, both
elder and young, would prefer that
the $13,000,000,000 go to the crooks.
They may have their way. I can't
m6 tli tt the teachers and professors
are getting more: nor can I discover
that the crooks are getting less.
And it costs $15 a year for a boy
enrolled In a vocational club, against
$500 a year to maintain a boy In a
state' prison.
And about 180.000 people are In
prison. About 400,000 men are en
gaged In pursuits and occupations for
which they may be in prison one day
if they can be caught and convict
ed; which is doubtful.
I suppose all these billion account
pretty largely for the fact that
many of us get behind In various
phases of financial outgo, Including
house taxes. Even so. the $13,000.
000.000.000 for crime, and the $500 a
year for the boy maintained In
prison, are to be most regrettable.
It may all come out in the wah
