SPT County To Replace Texum Bridge Publle Utlllllra Commissioner Oeorge M. Plage today In Salem ordered the Southern Pacific rail road and Klamath county to re place lie Texum overhead cross ing which the railroad tore down two years ago. The order waa a victory for Klamath county which had de manded that the railroad replace the crossing, but an expensive one because the county waa ordered to share the coat of the new structure aa well as take over all mainten ance. The old crossing, a frame bridge over the tracks on an old county road near the Oreat Northern roundhouse, actually Tved very few residents of the area. The re. placement probably will have to be of concrete or at least have con crete abutments. were of high school and college age. However, In contrast with the past two months, the rise of unemploy ment between June and July cannot be attributed to the entry of young persons Into the labor force.

But thla was well above the 0.1M.0O0 total In July, 1941. The censua bureau's flgurea were nation-wide estimates only. They shed no light on the spot-unemployment which the administration seeks to remedy by concentrating federal spending In the troubled arraa. North H r-a a!
