The price Is really low, but II can be
explained. Several foreign bridge COM
panies have been in the field trying to
get the business. Hoffman K hates, an
Oregon firm, do moi propose oallow this

agood bridge and one will probably be
erected.

and 1891 voters for school purposes

for school purposes.
Il is not a matter Of jealousy, but Of
veracity between the Statesman and the

former says they are over 81 .000.000 the
latter, n reliable Company. says they are
about 100000 as given by the record.
