It Is a recognized necessity that - this city begin to orect n botter class of bridges. As wooden sidewalks find wooden school houses glvo placo to concrete, stono nnd brick, so wooden bridges are succeeded in cities BY MORE J'KKSLINKNT STRUCTURES. If a largo corporation or railroad company had boforo it tho question of bridging South Mill creek, IT WOULD 1113 SIMPLY A QUESTION OF ENGINEERING. So much of nn oponing to enrry tho water, two concroto abutments, plors or rctninnlg walls to hold tho fills, and stcol girdors. Tho oxponso of concroto plors and stcol girdors Is no moro mystorlolis than tho prlco of sugar and salt. A forty-foot span or opening bo- tweon tho piers WILL OAKKY ALL TIIK WATER THAT FLOWS DOWN THAT GREEK AT ANY TIME. Tho load tho bridge must carry can bo figured to a pound. Tho thrco county commissioners of nny county in Oregon would quiotly do in two months what a committee worried nbout for two years. IT WOULD NOT COST 8:10,000 EITHER. The Sullivan Gulch reinforced stool viaduct, twice as high as tho Saloin bridge uood be and 55S feet long cost only $70,000, INCLUDING PAV ING, TWO OAK TRACKS AND CON CKETE SIDEWALKS TWELVE FEET WIDE. Tho stool brldgo nnd concroto plors of tho O. W. P. Co. over tho Clacka mas rlvor, 2C0 foot long, that carries heavy trains, COST ONLY $312,000. Let us get down to earth on thoso mntters and go about thont as wo would nbout our own buslnosj affairs u POLITICS FROM THE PUSH STANDPOINT. Editor owe It to tho people- to oxpono tho IiihUIo workings of poll tics from tho push standpoint. Tho maohlno push politician wants offlco and wants political power for tho dlroct bonoflt to his pockotbook NOT FOR ANY PRINCIPLE OR PROGRAM. Dovotlon to it groat underlying principle Is no moro to him than n gambler's ohanco. That is his conception of politics TAKING TRICKS IN A GAME. Somo of tho mon who wnnt to bo sponkor say thoy aro NEUTRAL ON THE ONLY PRINCIPLE INVOLVED. Push politics knows no principle has no program tout graft. It says: "I want to bo prosldont of tho senate. I want to bo speaker of tho house for whnt thoro Is in it." WHAT IS A MAN'S PROGRAM AS PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE? Ho Ih "neutral" as to principle. Ho Just wants tho offlco. RUT WHAT FOR? Another wants to be speaker. Ho is ntutrul us to prlnclplo. Ho Is a politlolnn who wants office, wants powor. RUT WUAT FOR? Havo thoso candidates any convic tions as to how tho loglslnturo should bo run? ARE THEY FOR A GENERAL REDUCTION OF APPROPRIATIONS AND ARE THEY OPPOSED TO THE .ANCIENT AND HOARY CLERKSHIP GRAFT? Aro they not ronlly neutral on prln clplo and not opposed to anything, nor for anything, but to get the of flco? ARE THERE NOT OTHER CAN DIDATES JUST LIKE THEM? Is that tho way to run a Itopubll enn loglsluturo just a broadside prostitution of tho gonornl assembly for porsonnl purposos? KOT EXACTLY HOT AIR, RUT ENCOURAGING. thing besides prunes to tho extent that his burning words melted tho snow and cracked tho Ice that usually encases tho Orogonlnn's editorial page. When tho Orogonlan Isn't giving us microbes In tho wntor, n case of diph theria, or somo other calamity, SALEM IS THANKFUL. As far as affirmatively boosting this city that g'-.es tho Orogonlan Its main claim to circulation, this is for eign to tho Orogonlnn's' columns. But It did slop over and got a few pounds of stonm on tho rofrlgorntor and said something kindly about the Cnpltal City tho other day. IT IS NOT RELIEVED THAT IT EVER WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. Tho cold-blast effusions havo boon resumed. Since then it has mado up for this mlscarrlago of optimism by knocking tho construction of a per manent brldgo on South Commercial street. It has also knocked tho possibility of n limited local parcels post out of this city. THAT MIGHT LOSE PORTLAND A LITTLE HUSINESS. Tho Orogonlnn's enthusiasm Is a kind of JIt. Hood cocktail of snow water and hnmmorod ico that has boon showered over this city for ton years or moro, AND STILL SALEM HAS PROSPERED. As a minlmizer of effort, as an apostle of disparagement, as a ped dler of apathy, tho Orogonlan wears tho belt. Hut lot Salem glvo thnnks on bond ed Icnoos FOR ITS LITTLE II LAST OF HOT AIR.

Ho actually warmed up on some- At tho Tuft banquet held at Salem recently, Judgo .Moroland declared tho Republican party In Orogon had no leadership. Ho might havo said moro and told tho truth tho party hns nctually had bad loadorshlp WHICH IS WORSE THAN NO LEADERSHIP. Tho Portland Journal has suggest ed that a now leadership of tho party In Orogon Is necessary. It Is notlconblo that tho Orogonlan Is not clamoring for any party load orshlp, good or bad. IT SAYS THE PARTY IS DISOR GANIZED, DEMORALIZED, SHOT TO PIECES, HOPELESSLY DISIN TEGRATED. It has helped produce this condi tion of political chaos. IT HAS CONTRIHUTED ITS SHARE OF POLITICAL IMBECIL ITY. Tho machine and tho Orogonlan havo always been practically ono. Its diottiin Is: Tho Orogonlan and tho maohlno can do no wrong. THE PEOPLE ARE WRONG ON EVERY-THING. Tho program Is to make Fulton dlstntor, Rankor William of Dallas atato hos, Pat McArthur speakor of tho legislature and state chairman With this factional cabal in charge OVKUTHL.JW THE DIRECT PRI MARY iaV AND RESTORE THE CONVENTION SYSTEM. Overthrow direc election of sen ators and restore the corrupt corpor ation auction block systom of buying senators. OVERTHROW ALL THE FRUITS OF DIRECT LEGlSiaTlON. That Is tho program of thoso who wnnt no cloan. decont leadership of the Republican -pnrty leadership that represents tho will of tho people This Is a plain Issue tho Oregon Inn wants no reorganization of the Republican party THAT IS AMEN ARLE TO THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. Republicanism that would ondorso tho direct primary, direct election of sonators, and direct legislation, would put tho people back of tho Republi can party, AND THAT IS NOT WHAT THE MACHINE WANTS.

Los Angoles, Cal., Dec. 12. Abo Attoll gat' orcd tho decision from Ad Wolgast at Naud Junction Inst night, but ho did It in such nn unsatisfac tory monnr that a lot of peoplo wish Wolgnat had won. After making tho Milwaukeo boy appear as tho verlost amntour for threo rounds, Attoll suddenly coajed extending hlmsolf and wna content with now and anon pocking away at Wolgast'a lowered heart, with occa sional rtisplnys of form Ono of two things aro truo regard ing last night's bout, and neither do credit to tho foathorwolght champion If Attoll p-ulled as seems very ap parent 'that ho did ho Is to be crltl- cizcvl for tho sake of thoso who put up good coin to soo a man do his best. Time nfter tlmo Attell has put mo-i on "Ico" for future roforenco. Ills plaything affair with Harry Baker tho first time so deluded many fats that tioy bnokod Baker to vln tics second tlmo. With ridiculous oau Attoll knocked Baker out long boforo tho scheduled time. If Attoll claims ho did his bwt thon ho has surely retrograded; not so much in science as In stamina. Even Attell's enemies could but ad mire him In tho two opening rounds. HI-, boxing wns masterful, and mado Wolgast appear llko a dunce. Thero wa3 no knockdown. Wol gast would not box (upright, and cov- ored In such an effective manner that It Is a question whether Attell, fight ing at his best, could havo scored a knockout. Wolgast showed very strong In th-; last five rounds, so far as fighting In Btlnct was oonoerned. Ho succeeded in landing several good wallops on Attell's face, though ho missed a countless number, which Attell Judgod with mnrvoloiiB precision. Attoll promised that ho would win, end ho did. Ho also assorted strong ly that ho would go tho limit with Wolgast. 'f ho did so, thon tho fcatn orwolght title is in danger of chang ing hands In tho near future.
