With tholr lives In ttho balance,

Wets drovo a car belonging to V. M.
1ehllngor from tho camp. The ma
chine steered fine until ll'c approach
to a 13 foot ditch was uade, then
without warning tho steering gear
broke and the Ford started on a
rampage of Its own. With a veer to
tbo right, tho front wheels went ocr
the sldo of tho brldgo then started
to fall. 3urlng this period tho oc
cupants of the car bold their breaths.
A guard consisting of throo barb
ed wire strands on that sldo of tho
bridge saved the lives of tbo men,
for It was at this point whore tho
car began a teeter-totter swaying,
half way on tho brldgo, half in tho
air.
JWhea tho car finally stopped its
swaying, tbo mon climbed out thu
aide of tho machine to safety. Tho
car was pulled back and found to
have both a broken driving rod and
a bent axle but was not nearly so
badly damaged an tho nerves of the

Speaking of. observations ssade
whllo a legislator at Salem aa4

should start at once, to prepare for
tho many visitors who would visit
Portland t when tho. great fair wee

that tho legislature ..would pase the '

that no oppQe!tjon,'..won!4 "be ea

One of the needs for this eecttes
of the country, the speaker sle
was to foster a movement which
now was on foot to completer the
"missing link" of the Southern Pa

Touching upon' the railroad sit

tho railroads a return on

tho systems could prosper and build
