Big Bridge.

The great steel bridge across the
Columbia river at Vancouver will be
one of the most notable as well as
gigantic constructions of its kind. 1t
will be double-tracked with roadway
on top for teams, and the whole erect
ed upon pneumatic piers. The pivotal
pier. or draw-pier. will support a
draw giving an opening of as much as
200 feet space on either side for vessels
to pass. and the span which is immedi-
ately south of the draw span, will be
375 feet; the whole structure to be of
steel. built 10 feet above the high water
of 1876 and forty feet above low water.
Among the engineering difficulties
presented in this undertaking the most
notable has been the sandy foundation,
rendering it necessary to go down
some eighty feet below low water to
obtain a firm foundation.

The Jews in New York.

Judging by police reports there has
been less of the deceitfulness, chican-
cry, and fraud that are popularity and
uniustly held to be distinctive of the
poorer Jews in the acquisition of this
amazing wealth and influence than
among an equal number of nominal
Christians of similar class. 1t is GER
tain that the homely virtues of which
King Solomon, Franklin, and Smiles
are the apostles have been the princi-
pal creators of Jewish affiuence and
power. The prudence which confines
expenditure within the limits of in
come; the diligence which rejoices in
improving opportunity, the far sight
edness which deposits money where it
will do the most good, and the promise
which is held to be as binding as the
legal contract are the chief factors of
fortune with them as with all men.
The best proof of the moral standing
of the Hebrews is to be found in the
relatively low percentage of their num-
Der in prisons and reformatories. Only
two murderers, it is said, have sprung
from their ranks in 250 years. Drunk
enness is not a Jewish vice. Neither
is anarchism a Jewish insanity. Its
subjects disavow and even revile Juda-
ism.-Centatry.

Vas" drawled Sheriff Jack after
telling this part of the story, sit
stirred up the county. Every body was
sorry for the poor feller, but he
mighter knowed jest how it would
turn out. All the niggers turned up
but six an in course we suspicioned
'em. We tried bloodhounds and done
our level best, but nobody had any
luck but Ransom. Fust an last he got
erway with six of the devils an made
no bones about it. either"
Did he tell it?' l asked.
''Sartinly he did. Many an many a
night he's come back from his hunt
an told me about another nigger he'd
fixed that day."
ut is awful" was my comment.
That's no name for it." said the
sheriff, 'but Ransom was not ter
blame. He was only a youngster, full
of New England crank ideas, and he
thought black human natur was the
same as white human natur. After
his trouble he acted like man-hunt-
ed the beasts down. He made some of
them confess, an then shot 'em. 9th
eTs had some of his wife's trinkets an
others acted jest suspicious-like, yer
know. He made clean sweep of the
gang an, stranger, you're the fust
man that's talked about arresting and
trying him."
II didn't understand the case" was
my reply.
We'll, yer understand it now," said
Sheriff Jack. I'VE don't stand no
foolin' down here in Buckshot county.
We go in fur straight justice. If yer
got on the jury would yer go agin Bob
RansomP"
mo, I would not, was my emphatic
response.
Good for you'll" shouted the sheriff.
That's the way we feel. Bob Ran
som will never be bothered in this
county"
Just then heard the whistle of my
train, and with hurried shake of the
hand l left Sheriff Jack. If any of my
readers ever visit Buckshot county it
will pay them to hunt up this model
officer. Some of his methods may be
little irregular, but he is the right
man in the right place.-Ec.

Reveille, Is, in our estimation, correct
in regard to road matters. Road tax
paid in cash means less road work and
poorer roads. The roads i'm this section
of the county were never i'm the condi-
ton they are at the present time. A
man will not fix the road in front Of
his own place, for it makes his cash
tax no less, and the overseer is doing
work to suit his convenience and put
ting the money in his pocket. Ii is
true that right here in our own neigh
borhood some have had from fifteen to
twenty dollars special tax to pay, and
not one stroke Of work put within a
mile of their place. IL would be far
better as 1t was fifteen years ago, when
there was little, if any, money TO be
handled, and volunteer work made
miles of good road. As long as such is
the law we expect to mire our way to
town. Our people are also in favor of
township organization, which will GER
talnly be much less expense TO the

Additional Appropriation For the Port

Robbery at Seattle
SUCCESSORS OF THE DALToNs

LONDON, Dec. l4-A fearful explosion
occurred this morning in the Bamfur-
long colliery, at Wigin, and not less
than fifty lives were lost. The men
went to work this morning as usual af-
ter the mine had been inspected. Short
ly afterward fearful explosion shook
the earth, and a cloud of smoke shot up
through the shaft. 1t is supposed that
the explosion was caused by an accum-
ulation of coal gas, which the inspector
overlooked on his rounds. AS soon as
the explosion occurred, women and
children rushed to the mouth of the
pit and there were the usual heartrend-
ing scenes when such accidents occur.
Steps were Immediately taken to ascer-
tain the extent of the disaster, and
many volunteers went in to explore the
pit.
Later advices say the loss of life may
be less than at first reported, but the
situation is critical. Hundreds of men
remain in the mine unable to get out,
owing to the fire which followed the
explosion, and which is raging fiercely.
Every effort is being made to subdue
the fire and bring the survivors to the
surface. 1t is impossible at present to
give the loss of life.
