vorabie one to the club, and that it will
establish whether the governor has the
power to declare the city under martial
law and to call for the militia. The
laws OF Florida plainly provide that
such a course is only then possible when
the officials of the county are unable to
cope with threatened riot or dis.
turbance. Should the court decide
that the boxing contest is not unlaw-
full, il is difficult to understand
upon what grounds Gov. Mitchell will
Justify his calling out of the militia. A
number of attorneys of rspute here,
who have been interviewed on the
question, are of the opinion that the
governor would be in contempt of court
should he pursue such course after
the court has decided that question, and
that he would be liable to impeachment.
Both Corbett and Mitchell will be in
Jacksonville tomorrow. Neither of the
men did much work today. a little
morning exercise being all that either
accomplished.

To the Editor
In my article Of yesterday suggest
ing the idea that the city take upon
itself Ire construction OF the bridge
across Young's Bay, l did not attempt
to make any figures of the probable
cost of such bridge as would be re-
quired. 1 have roughly estimated that
the cost would be about as follows:
Cost of structure already built and
franchised, say about s2O,00O.00; cost Of
widening same for driveway and walk
way, $1OOOO.OO; cost Of suitable draw,
$4O,OOO.OO; cost of approach Of bridge
from Smiths point to draw, $20,0OO.OO;
making a total of $90.GOO.0O.
make the above estimates from my
knowledge CT the costs of trestle work
here, street work and the estimate Of
engineers, which have been made Of
the cost Of construction Of the draw in
said proposed bridge and l think my
figures are very liberal. In fact, cons
sidering the present low prices of ma
terials and labor, / am inclined to be-
lieve the bridge can probably be built
for SS0,00O.0O. But let us say that 1t
would cost $lO0;0OOOO, and that the
yearly interest would be $5,000.00, the
city then would receive yearly double
that benefit, as a result of building
the bridge over and above the revenus
derived from the tolls collected. / re-
member being in Oregon City when
the proposal to bridge the Willamette
river at that point was before the
county court and the common council
Of said city. There was considerable
opposition on the part of some of the
taxpayers to the building of the bridge
On account of the cost thereof, and the
fact that the county was in debt some,
thing like $50,O0O.OO, on account of the
building of a new courthouse, which
had just been completed. Finally
however the proposition carried, and
a free bridge was constructed by the
city and county jointly, at a considera-
BILE cost The completion Of the bridge
opened new era Of prosperity to Ore
gon City and the surrounding country,
and by display of similar energy on
the part of the officials of said city
and county, upon all occasions where
opportunity offered that community
has been thriving, improvements have
been going on, and the city building
up despite the hard times through
which we have recently passed, and are
still passing. Even those taxpayers
of Oregon City who were opposed to
the construction of the bridge, now
admit that they were wrong in oppos,
ing it, and consider it one of the best
investments ever made by that com,
munity.
Now is the time for our city TO act
in this matter. When bridge shall
have been built by private enterprise, |
it will be too late for the city to take
hold of the matter and reap the bene>
fit which it can reap by taking up the
matter at the present time A bridge
built by the city at the present time
will control the business in that direc-
tion for many years to come

RELICS OF THE COLUMBIAN
FLOOD.

Memaloose Island, in the Columbia
river below The Dalles, is the location
Of somewhat ancient Indian burial
ground. During the high water in the
lordly Columbia a few months ago,
many Of these graves were washed
out, and the bones Of many a savage
chief were exposed to the gaze of the
curious pale face"
Among the relics washed from this
aboriginal cemetery were several arti-
cles Of value. One person found IS
in old silver coins, another man picked
up an old-time pistol of the model
when they had fiint-stone instead OF
gun caps or cartridges in such wea-
pons. M W. Lassley, Of this city, found
an old presidential campaign medal
which was struck off half a century
ago. This medal. made Of copper OF
brass is about the size Of a quarter
of a dollar, and bears on its face a
picture of log cabin. On the reverse
side is the inscription, MAI. Gen. w.
H. Harrison-The peoples choice in the
year 1s41-Born, Feb. 9, 1773" This
medal was used at the time when Gen.
Harrison was elected president over
Martin Van Buren. Harrison's friends
would shout in that hot campaign,
Little Van is a used up man." and an,
other battle cry was, "TiDpecanoe and
Tyler too" AS the student Of history
well knows, the battle OF Tippecanos
was fought between Gen. Harrison
and Tecumseh. one Of the bravest and
ablest Indian chiefs ever known The
indians were beaten by the regular
troops. and Tecumseh was killed with
hundreds Of his fierce warriors. 1t

ada to the Gulf OF Mexico. They ex-
