THE BRIDGE PROBLEM SOLVED
The county court and the highway engineers have
evidently hit upon the best plan for solving the bridge
problem. It is proposed to drive piling for piers along
side the old bridge, and move the super-structure over on
to it. There will be more piers than are under the pres
ent structure, giving it greater strength. This it is esti
mated can be done for about $12,000. The cost of plank
ing the rail road bridge would be about $13,000 and to this
would be added the expense of maintaining watchmen.
Besides it is a plan fraught with danger. The operating
of the ferry would cost about $1,000 a month and with
nine months before the new bridge can be completed,
that would cost nearly as much as the plan proposed of
moving the old bridge onto new piers. Then too, the
ferry is far from satisfactory being but a poor makeshift
at the best, and one that does not begin to take care of the j
traffic properly. It is a cause of much gratitication tnat
the muddle has at last been straightened out and the con
struction of a substantial bridge arranged for. It again
miens nn a wav for the farmers of the rich section adia
cent to Salem to get into the city with their products, and
it will also make possible the completion of a highway
loop from Portland up through the beautiful country on
the west side and down me vauey on mis siae oi me
river. This shuold make one of the scenic drives tor lJoit
land people and for tourists.
OREGON AGAIN SETS THE PACE
What the governor of California said to the governor
of Arizona did not sound like the conversation between
the governors of the two Carolinas. His remarks in brief
were to the effect that Arizona had better keep her
hoboes at home. The citizens of Jerohie shipped a hun
dred of these undesirables out of their city, generously
providing them with transportation on a cattle train as
far as the borders of California, and at the same time re
quested them to make the time of their next visit, of
the very remote future. This would have settled the
matter so far as Jerome was concerned, had the citizens
of California not objected through their executive. The
situation suggests a remedy for the I. W, W. affliction.
Arizona sent them to the line with orders not to come
back and California served notice on them not to move for
ward. This necessarily confines them to a nosition
j astraddle of the line between the states. Now if they can
be herded in that position the trouble will be solved. With
the gangs astride the various state lines, they could not
bother anyone very much, and besides food control would
be easier for the people they work for it.
THE TABLES ARE TURNED
Oregon as usual is in the lead, and sets the pace the
other states will be unable to follow. The dispatches yes-
tprrlav announced that her enlistments in the different
branches of the army were so large that her entire quota
for the draft had been almost furnished. Under the rul
ing of the department the states are given credit for their
enlistments and it is the quick and general response to the
call by Oregon's young men, that has virtually prevented
the draft being necessary in the state. It would be an
other big feather in her cap if the ninety-three needed to
complete her quota would enlist before the day set for
the draft and place the state in a class all by herself.
Some of the eastern papers took a fling at this state and
some of the others on the coast, because their registration ,
was smaller than had been estimated. These did not take
into consideration that conditions had not only prevented
an increase of population but had actually caused a de
crease. Oregon was hard hit by the war, her principal
industry, lumbering, being put out of the running by a
car shortage due to it. At the same time the demand for
labor in the east drew many from the coast, so that the
tide of immigration was so far as the west is concerned
one of emigration. We call the attention of these same
papers to the fact that while old Oregon has lost some in
population she is not the least bit shy on patriotism.
The warning to the farmers of eastern Oregon that
the I. W. W.s were going to visit that section and had
threatened to burn their standing wheat, caused a sug-j
fpstive movement amone- the grain growers that bodes ;
no good to the visitors. The answer of the farmers was
to get out their shotguns, lay in a good supply of ammuni
tion and declare the open season for hoboes was on. They
have not stated what they intend to do, but a good gues
sor might light on the answer in less than half a dozen
guesses.
The Chicago Board of Trade yesterday fixed the price
of corn at $1.28 a bushel. This is considerably less than it
is quoted now, but it is a price all farmers will be satisfied
with and under the present conditions they will get
practically this price instead of having it forced down
until after the crop had left their hands. It is a price
the consumer will not kick at and everybody but the
speculators should be satisfied. !
History makes rapidly these days. But a week or two
ago, Chang Hsun was the biggest man in China. He had
an army supposed to be "the strongest in the country, and
with this he proposed restoring the monarchy and being
me dictator thereof. He set the boy emperor on the
throne all right but the sitting was not good and he was
iorced to take him off again. Then he had not counted
on the spirit of democracy which is abroad in the world,
attacking his troops. That is where he overlooked an lm
portant matter, for when the republican forces got busy
and marched toward Peking these soldiers who had be
fore always been loyal to him, suddenly began to desert,
and in such numbers that Chang found himself in a posi
tion where he had to do some bargaining for his persona
safety. Instead of being the big boss, he is a very humlbe
individual, to whom lite looks good even without the job
of bossing. He is now surrounded in the capital and his
late has not yet been decided by the leaders of the re
public. The Chinese are not at all squeamish about tak
ing lite and the outlook for Chang is far from cheerful.
The authorities have made some changes as to the
minimum and maximum length of recruits for the army.
The shortest that will be accepted must, measure five
teet and one inch and the most lengthy must not be more
than six feet six inches in the perpendicular. This is what
might be called "the long and the short of it."
Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg seems to think that
the hrinff ol as many of the German ministry as is neces
sary to quiet the leaders in the reichstae. is all rieht as
long as Von Bethmann-Hollweg is not among those fired.
And yet his is a job few sensible men would want to hang
onto.
The German view of the Russian drive is that "it will
wear itself out." That is the way the folks in Arkansas
used to speak of the "chills and fever." They were right
about it too, but while wearing itself out it generally
wore the fellow it was visitine to a frazzle and left him a
physical wreck.

HARD TIMES
Keep out of debt and save the dimes till
they are red and rusted, and so when come
the fiercer times, they will not find you
busted. But do not pare and hoard and
skimp like some jimtwisted miser; by doing
that you'll be a simp, and comfort Bill, the
kaiser. A lot of paire stricken jays at us
are daily shrieking, to starve ourselves in
forty ways, and end all costly leaking. I
don't admire the frenzied bore who jaws us
in the journals; a slump in trade would
hurt us more than losing many colonels.
We want to see the wheels go round, the
lorges brightly burning, to see the work
men saw and pound, their wages briskly earning. When
commerce sags and men are fired and coin no more is
flowing, oh, then, the pinch that makes us tired we sure
ly will be knowing. Economy is always wise, and "waste's
a siniui doin , out we may all economize to our eternal
ruin. Don't let the war's colossal strain your brainpan
be upending; oh, friends, be moderate and sane, in savin?
as in spending.
