SALEMS OLD BRIDGE
SOONTHINGOFPAST
PART WILL BE USED
Is Nearly All Removed, One
Span To Be Used In Bridg
ing TTie Cowlitz.
Within a few days the last 'plank of
the second bridge across the Willamette
river at Salem Trill have b?en carried
away and there will be nothing lei't of
tho famous and troublesome' structure
excepting the memory and the $20,000
that the city now owe on the bridge
that stood for 28 years, although con
demned from time to time.
By October 1, every vestigo of the
bridge will be removed. The rivvjr chan
nel has been changod to the required
depth, 10 feet below the low water
mark at tho bridge, and T. T. Euell
who has been on the bridge since Aug.
1, 1917, will leave for Camp Lewis.
One span of tho old bridge with a
, length of 870 feet will cross the Cow
litz rifrer in Washington at Eippe, about
40 miles southwvst of Chehalis. The
remainder of the bridge "ill be shipped
to the yards of the Coast Bridge com
pany la Portland to be sold from time
to time.

of its old bfiition and placed on a tem
porary structure during tho building of
tha row bridge. Although the bridge
Had been condemned half a dozen
times, yet tli bridge engineers with
practical bridge experience easily moved
it the required distance south and pla
ced it on temporary pilings. Although
but a temporary structure after it had
been torn apar, hero Was no sugges
tion that it was unsafe while tho new
bridgo was under construction.
During the heaviest, part of the work
on the new bridgo, 70 nvon were em
ployed. For the wrecking of the old
bridge the number averaged 25 until
within the last few weeks when but 15
were on the work.
. The second bridge of which tho last
pUnk is to bo removed within a v.cek
cr more, was completed in Marc, 1890,
ai a cost of $83,402.99. On October 1,
1890, eity bonds wore issued for the
part tha city was to pay,, amounting
to $20,000 and for the past-18 years
the city has been paying interest at the
rate of $1,000 a year. Tho bonds Will
bo duo October 1, 1920. By that time
the city will have paid $20,000 interest
on its $20,000 bonds.
But with the building of the socond
bridge, tho city of Salem fares much
better. While it 0we8 $18,000 on the first
bridge built in 1886 and $20,000 on the
second bridge built in 1890, the city
has incurred no indebteduos8 on the
nciv bridge. ' .
The third bridge, one of tho finest
in tho northwest cost $250,000 and there
is not a dollar due. It was a spot cash
transaction and was paid for from tinre
to time as he building- of he bridge
progressed.. Of the $250,000 Polk
couny pays $41,270.79 and Marion
county the balance.

Tonight a reign of -high jinks will

This is tearing up day, too, although
under the rules nothing is supposed to

stoidt barns tho exhibitors who have
been at unusual expeiiso are anxious
to get away and cut down tho out go.
While little or none of ,tho stock has
been moved and. will not bo today, it
is not on account of tho desire to tay

inability to sot cars. One of the stunts
yesterday was the salr of a calf do-J

The attendance today is light but

tho folks gather for a farewell round

as there is n euimal loft. There has
nover been a year in which so profound
an interest was displayed in livestock,
and this is especially true as to the
Jersevs end other milk breeds o cat
tle. This and the interest in the dis
plays of vegetables have been 'fea
tures of the meet, and they show how

have been full of life for a week, but
tomorrow, it will be different, for the

booths clo'sed, and the walks that for
a week have echoed the tread of thou
sands will be deserted for another year
In the old camp ground there is strik
