pressure. Wooden pipe costs about
half less them iron or other kinds.
Why not use Oregon fir for Oregon
wtter pipes?
It seems food for reflection when
we learn that Pennsylvania fa im
porting Oregon fir for its bridges,
while Oregon is impor"ing Pennsyl
vania steel for a like purpose. Many
of the counties of this state are us
ing steel for bridges, with an abund
ance of wood at hand, which can be
had much cheaper than that which

is reflvered from Oregon to Pennsyl
vania. If sWel bridges are so neces
sary, why does the Southern Pacific
railroad and other such like com
panies build bridges of wood? The
life of a steel bridge Is about 20 to
25 years, and on the coast they have
to be palnred at leas* once a year to
withstand the rust ravage. It would
seem that in the case of Oregon the
f
main beneficiaries of fhe use of steel
4n Oregon bridges are the railroad
companies that haul ft out here from
the steel mills in the east. As to

for their purposes, the conclusion
are all made in that alty and are naturally follows, that Oregon fir
dovetailed, instead of being jointed, would be good enough to be used ex-
and keep smoofh and give excellent clusively for bridges in this stav. ,

THURSDAY. DECEMBER 1.
THE TILLAMOO* HEADLIGHT
The life of Oregon wooden bridges
is from 15 to 20 years, but it is
claimed that two wooden structures
of the kind may be had for the cost
of one steel bridge, so the saving
would seem to be worth while
The big bridge building oonoerna
recommend steel for Oregon btldges
for the very good reason that they
get a commission from the steel
manufacturera Their argument is
that the steel bridges, while they
cost more, last longer, but in reality
there is not more than 5 to 10 years
difference in the age of the two ma
terials. So that, all things consid
ered. including the big item of econ
omy, why not use Oregon fir for our
bridges?
