What a Evident of Stayton Thinks
Eegrardlag the Santiam Strne
tare There.
(From Dally Oct.' 25th.)
Henry Keene, of Stayton. was in Sa
lem yosterday attending to acme busi
ness matters. lie was aokt-d as to thV
condition of the Sautiam bridge at that
place, and he stated positively that the
structure was not safe for travel. One
or two of the rott-n timbers on the
Linn county fide cave been replaced
with ound ones, but there ere many
others that : will not stand a heavy
strain. '..; . I
Mr. Kecne 4s superv isor cf the road
district la Marion county in which the
northern half of the bridge is located,
and he was recently authorized to close
the . structure to the public and post
notices regarding its unsafe condition.
He did this, spiking heavy , timbers
acrota the roadway. The obstruction
seemed to be oTenelve to the traveling
public up that way for they quickly
removed it and, of course, the bridge
is now open.- The notices of warning
are still there, however. ;
Mr, Keene was ehown the following
paragraphs, clipped from the Albany
Democrat, and he laughed quite heart
ily at the attempt of the said editor
to ' stand In ; with the parelmoniuns
county court of LJjvn county. He
thought that the attempt to save a fw
dollars at this time, by simply patch
ing up the bridge, would necessitate a
larger expenditure before next tprlng.
The Albany paper's convultlon is as
follows.
' While tlie Marlon county court
were, blowing and puffing like htppo
potamusscs, alwut the Stayton bridge,
ordering it closed, etc., the Linn coun
ty court were on the move. They sent
a man up there and Lad the bridge fix
ed at a small' expense, so that it is safe
and is being used. ILe people thire
won't have it closed yet, and sat down
on the Marion county road supervisor
who tried to take up some planks so It
couldn't be used."
In the same issue of the paper ap
pears the followfcc letter, the, author
of which is the twell-headed populist
county judge of Linn county:
"I notice in last evening's Democrat
an item of news, headed 'A Bridge
War.' Now, this last sentence is a
misnomer, for to successfully engage in
war requires at least be participation
of two parties "who are irritated and
lest their heads, while in this Stayton
bridge matter the Linn county court Is.
ana has at all times beeti, perfectly
docile, gentle and dove-like in ft de
meanor, pursuing the even tenor of its
peaceful way, without a ruffled feather
and gcod will to all, even to our errinj
brethren of the Marion county court. ,
"Our court, after a very Careful and
critical examination of the bridge in,
controversy, assisted by Frank Miller,
a civil engineer and a specially skillful
and expert bridge builder,! are of the
unanimous oi-lndon that said bridge is
absolutely safe for public use, especial
ly so since the defective end brace to
the main span has been replaced by a
new one, which repair was completed
by order of the Linn counfty court on
the 36th of this present mcr.th.
"Cur court has not been conyinoel
by bluff and bluster that large sums
of public money should be uselessly
expended In replacing good sound tim
bers of this bridge-with ne,w ones, and
the court having entered such an order
will maintain the same until such time
as it becomes apparent that we were
In error. We wlil not contend with
the. Marion county court in its tearing
up or otherwise destroying the north
half of the Stayton bridge, but we will
prorecute to the full extent of the law
any : person or person tearing up or
barricading - or otherwise interfering
with that ortlon of ssid bridge situ
ated in L!nn county, Oregon. George
D. Barton. . " -
' Apropos of the ccndltlon of the Stay
ton bridge, the following editorial from
the Ktayton Mail will be qufite re-id-able:
. J y 1 ' :
"Ore Is reminded of 'jenny wise and
pound foolish economy in the methods
of Judge Barton and the l inn county
court. A new board or beam here and
there In tbe rotten structure called the
Stayton bridge is the same kind of
economy a farmer would show In buy
ing a new wheel for a worrcut wagon.
When Jndge Barton admitted that the
bridge would have to be lebuilt entire
ly next spring he laid himself open to
severe public criticism end condemna
tion In refusing to co-operate with
Marlon county, which is ceady to pro
ceed with the work now."

SALEil DEALEB SAYS HOPS AKE
DECUSIXQ IS PRICE.
Claims He Can Fill Orders at 7 1-2
Cents a round Hop-growers
Association.
(From Daily Oct. 25th.)
The hop market in Salem Is declin
ing," was the rather startling declara
tion made by a prominent Salem buyer
yesterday afternoon. "I am now fill
ing many orders at 7 and 714 tenia and
think 1 can continue to fulfill orders at
those "figures. The veiy choicest qual
ity is tinted, at 10 cents."
The situation remains unimproved,
locally, and practically nothing is b--ing
done. Ho sales are reported and
only contracted hops are being shipped.
At the present time there are 2,000 bale
in the Southern Pacific Company's
warehouse In this city, and but very
few bales are being reeetved.
As a consequence of the preent un
satisfactory conditions, the growers of
the northern part of the county have
organised an association for mutual
protection. By this plan they expect
to have some voice- in -establishing the
market, cr at least to the extent that
they will realize a tetter price for their
crop. The association will hold another
meeting on Wednesday.
During the winter ef 1897 Mr. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and
merchants of Clay. Clay Co., .W. va.,
struck his leg against a cake of Ice in
such a manner as to bruise it severely.
It became very much swollen and
pained him so badly that he could not
walk without the aid of crutches. He
was treated by physicians, also used
several kinds of liniment and two and
a half gallons of whisky in bathing it,
but nothing gave any relief until he
began using Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
This brought almost a complete cure
In & week's time and he believes that
had he not used this remedy his leg
would have had to be amputated.
Pain Balm is unequaled or sprains,
bruises and rheumatism. For sale by

EARTHQUAKE INSURANCE.
One result of the rapid growth of
seismology is the suggestion by Dr.
Mario Raratta that provision should be
made by Insurance against the dam
age to buildings caused by earthquakes
in certain countries. He shows that
since the beginning of the seventeenth
century lees than forty earthquakes
have' been responsible for tbe death of
more than 150,000 persons in . Italy
alone.: Moreover, to take but one ex
ample, the great losa of Hfe during the
Ischian earthquake of 1S83 was due to
the fact that the buildings had already
been damaged by the . earthquakes of
1SZ8 and 1881. Dr. Baratta pointer out
some of the conditions that must de
termlne the amount of premium that
should be demanded by Insurance so
cieties. The most important is the de
gree of eeismiclty of the district; but
this would be modified by others, such
as the nature of the surface rocks and
the character of the buildings. Na-

ELECTRICITY FOR FERRYBOATS.
Electricity for the propulsion of fer
ryboats, is now being practically calcu
lated upon the Delaware, and many
advantages and much economy will re
sult from its use. It will, fcr instance,
save the fuel W tttcd when the fires
ate being kept up. ns they always roust
bc while the boat is waiting in ber
slip, for a steamboat must be provid
ed with engines and boilers for her
highest speed, and this, in the case of
a ferryboat, can on'y be used a small
part of the time. With an electrical
equipment and storage batteries the
batteries can be changed while the
bat is in her slip, and a great de! of
the, space nocessary fo-- ateam machin
ery saved, besides ch-aring the vessel
of smokestacks, lessening vibration and
deci easing the neeessury crew. Amer
