The Town Line Bridge


John Mcdonald has the east approach
to the bridge over the riyer, on the town
line near John f. McDonald's, complet
ed. with the exception of the railing.
lie has the short span removed and is
about ready to commence raising the
timbers for the ne " truss. The timbers
of the old truss were very tender from
age, and 80 rotten at the ends that they
would not bear their own weight. and
the great wonder Is that the bridge did
not give way long before it did. From
an examination of the piles and cover
ing In the foundations Of the main spa n
we think the commissioners made q
mistake in not eOndemning the entire
structure. They are so rotten above the
water that it is evident that it will not
be but few years or 80 before IL will
have to be Overhauled. If 1t had been
done now the structure would have been
a substantial one for years, as 1t is, 1t will
be defective until these abutments are
put In proper shape. The piles below
the water are APPARENTLY as sound as
ever, and If they had been cut off down
to the waters edge and built up to the
proper height with cedar timber they
would have have been as good as ever,
1t is evident from the wind in sides
Of the main truss that either these abnt.
ments are settling or else that the bridge
was not true when first erected. 1t
would have cost less TO have made these
abutments substantial now while The
work of rebuilding the bridge was being
done, than at any future time, and as {
matter of economy TO the three towns
interested we think IL should have beer
done.

from $40 to $15 per month. To be con-
vinced read the following list of prices

Chinese Merchants.

The Chinese merchants in San Fran
cisco, CAL, are taking every year, with
greater enterprise, to all the devices of
American trade. They compete actively
with the Caucasian business man in the
manufacture Of clothing, underwear,
shoes, cigars and other important articles
of merchandise, and of late they have
taken to employing commercial drum
mers, who travel along the whole length
of the Pacific coast, and overrun Mexico
and Central America with the samples
Of their Mongolian employers. The
drummers are of course Caucasian, and
of all nationalities. At one time these
Chinese manufacturers couldnot dispose
of their wares except by labelling them.
"White labor;" but now it is not un-
likely that their Caucasian competitors
may find it advantageous to initiate the
Chinese labels.
