A Jouknal Reporter has Inter viewed nearly all theSalembuMness men ou their preferences as to how the South Commercial street viaduct should built. Theie is an almost universal demand for a stone bridge. tfovcral suggest the very excellent idea that the arches be sprung of brick work. Bric.c would mako a lighter arch and would be more beautiful thtn ruble or scable ma sonry, and the figures indicate that it would bo cheaiei. NKAKLY ALL KOK STONE. Z Craven: Build It of stone and It will last a thousand years. W. W. Martin: Build it of stone and turn the arch of brick. A sixty foot arch will take 198.000 brick. Postmaster Gilbert: Stone ! Gilbert Bres: A good stone bridge would last for eternity almost. A. Klein: A good stone viaduct will lust forever. Give workingmen a chance to get a dollar in their pockets. J H. Haue.: Stone. Dr. Riehar.lxen: If they build a briiie it should be of sloue. That is the ouly kind to build. John G. Wright, I am strongly iu fvor of stone. It will give work- lugmen a chance I like the idea of a brick arch, if one is too heavy for brick make two arches. Brick will make a lighter and better urch than sloue. Win. Brewn: I am heartily in favor of a stone bridge. As well keep the present as build of wood. A. S. Brasfleld: Stone. Then the money will be left right in Salem, every dollar. fannth & Stelner: Give us a stone arch viaduct. It would be orna mental, permanent, aud something to be proud of. Jo. Flshburn: Stone will make a permanent job, and it will be done with forever. Labor is cheap and uow is the most favorable time. H. Stapleteu: Plank and pile it. Pile and plank It. That will cost $4000 to $5000. Geo. D. Goedhue: If the money can be raised, a stone viaduct every time. H. M. Bransen: They ought to build a good stone bridge. Frank Dearbern: Stone or steel if we can afford it. J. H. Albert: I am in favor of a good substantial bridge if practica ble, of stone. Kraussa Bros.: Stone a good one that will stay there full street width. Ike Pattersen: There must be some permanent improvement Be sides a good bridge or that street will have to be abandoned. Geo. F. Smith: A well built stone bridge would be a flno permanent thing forever. H. A. Themas: Stone arch. Sam Adelph: I am Iu favor of a good bridge. A. Bush: Stone Is the best material if Jt Is not too dear. A brick arch would be all right. Burton Bros.: Brick can belaid down at the bridge for $7.00 to $7.30 a thousand good hard burned brick. It will coat $6.00 per thousand to lay them, or $2600 to $2700 for a 60 foot brick arch, If it takes 200,000 brick. W. W. Skinner: All the bridges built in this city hereafter should be built the full width of the btreet Get. Fleye: Build it of stone. Then it is finished. There Is noth ing to decay or impede the view. E C. Cra-: Stone that will work iu Square blocks would be the thing. Otherwise a good steel bridge. T. MoF. Patten: Filtv it In and make It a permanent full width crosiing. J prefer stone. J. H. Bridge-: I prefer a stone bridge, It would throw the miliej into the hands of people who want employment. Brooks & Harrltt: Rather have stone. P. S. Knight: a good stone bridge with brick arches Is the thing. Dr. Cuslnk: Build It of the most substantial material. G. Stelner: If It as cheap, stone Is the best. Nothing but an earth quake will destroy It. John Hughes: Rock, but no botch work. It Hhould be a cut stone culvert of the best quality. Fifty feet will cirry the water. Brick is belter than rubble for the arch. Jap Miute: You may put mo dowu for a solid stone bridge full Width of the streot, that will List forever. It will be raouey well In vested. Contractor A. B. Smlih: The city will be foolish to put in n pile bridge when eveu ut $15 a thousand an arch can be put over there for $3000, and the whole thing can be finished In solid nmsouary iiwide of $10,000. Juiues Aitken: I want a stone bridge, that will last for tlvo huu dred years mid employ our hoim labor. I. Stelner: Stone arch Is what we ought to have, even If It costs more. J. Q. Wilsen: The old bridge will stand for twenty years yet. A. I. Wagner: Build it of steel. It will look more cosmopolitan. John Kuight: Public Improve ments should bo solid, substantia aud permanent and give work to the men of this city every time as much as possible. Gray Bres: A wooden bridge will be only temporary, a steel bridge will be another steal; a good atiue arch viaduct will boa good invest ment and mako some good busiues-s property across the creek. L. S. Skiff: You may record me for a piece of solid permanent job every time. PiogreiS and common seno demands it. Leo Willis: By all means sub Btautlal aud permanent. Tom Hubbaid: Good abutments and a good steel bridge. Kliuger & Beck: A stone founda tion and iron ou top. Kept well painted it will last as lou.r as wo want it. Rialroad Commissioner Colvlg went to Portland this mornlug to accept the terms of a compromise with the Union Pacific railway company, by which Its rate cases are taken out of court. lUferees Utilities, Chalrmau Col vl', District Attorney Bingham and Attorney General Chamberlain have srored a gteat victory, as this means the adopliou of the commissioner's rat. Ithai taken hard work to bring this about, and a great deal of hard work has beeu done the past few days. Dlstrlot Attorney liing ham was seeu at noou by a Jotjk nal reporter aud said: 'I am expecting a telegram any moment annouclug the final con clusion of the matters by Mr. Col vlg, aud we are feeling very happy over the rusult. The terms of tho compromise are i hut they adopt about a 75 per cent, cut of tho rates fixed by tho com mission. Thev adopt the commissioners' rate ou llvo stock, which in many places amounts to a reduction of $20 a car, as from Huutlngton to Port laud It was $85 a car and will now be $65. On live stock over the Union Pa cific this means hundreds of thou sauds of dollars luto tho pockets of Oregon ranchers. The llvo stock rate Is still high, but we have made a great advance toward lower rates. Iu placo of a cut of $10 a car from The Dalles to Portland ou all grain shipments, the compauy accepts a $7.50 reduction, or 75 uer cent, of what the commission proposed. The cut on the Southern Pacific rated is 1cm than on the Northern Piolilc but they ure still fighting. They are however liable to adopt the re.lucthns too aud that will put au end to tho litigation aud. the lower rates will go Into effect all over the state at once." AT THE COAL MINES. Frank M.
