I1UILDLVG CITY BRIDGES.
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

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.

cold, frozen Iciclos of truth. It novcr

It cannot holp this. It Is its nature
to be AS GENIAL AND CORDIAL AS

Wo predict that In tho no.xt ton
yoKi's It will wnrm up again nnd wrlto

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

IT SAYS THE PARTY IS DISOR

IT HAS CONTRIHUTED ITS

(United Press Leased Wlro.)
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

that tioy bnokod Baker to vln tics

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.

Thero wa3 no knockdown. Wol

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.
Most of thoso who havo followed

of his stated intentions, ho has sim
