The Oak Street Bridge.

EDITOR TIMEs:-I understand the coun-
Gil is about to construct this bridge. 1 am
in favor of foot bridge there but j am de-
cidedly opposed to placing any bridge on
any such foundation as Is now awaiting it.
How many thousands of dollars have been
lost in constructing pier bridges on this
river and why have they been abandoned?
Simply because they are failure and sus'
pension bridges have wholly displaced them.
Why should we in the light of experience
entertain even thought of pier bridge.
Those so-called piers, which can only call
cob houses, that await this structure, l
understand, are simply placed on the river
bed and in no way anchored except by their
moment think that they will stand the enor-
nous pressure that will come against them?
If so, then l ask, why didn't the first fOun-
dalton stand for it was as good as this one
peratively speaking it would stand about 10
minutes and my predictions proved true and
L think the constructor was of the same
opinion as he hastily one morning got his
thousand dollar check and hadn't much
more than pocketed his monev when away
| went the bridge and over $1,000 with it..
My forty years. experience on this river
contending with the power of water and ice
has been of value to me and in view of it
say those piers are perfect failure. Near
| ly every spring have seen from one-half to
one mile of thick, heavy ice in large cakes
piled up several feet high. Who can esti-
mate the hundreds of thousands tons of
pressure from this ice and the food of water
bearing down on it with all its force. If
heavy pier bridges with piers more than
four times the strength of these couldn't
stand the spring floods, what reason has any
one to expect cob houses made of light tim.
Der and small stones like these to stand the
pressure for one moment?
Taxpayers, are you willing to have your
money thrown away the second time in such
a reckless manner? believe it as sure TO bf
as the sun is to set. If not, then unite with
me in stringent protest against it and de-
mand the construction Of bridge that will
stay there and that should be suspension
bridge. When bids were called for on tn,
first bridge, bridge builder said to me h,
offered to erect modern suspension bridg,
there for $1,000 and give ample bonds I,
guarantee it for twenty years. He said th,
committee wouldn't listen to him. 1t woul,
have been well If they had. ask the coun
Gil to abandon present progress and adop
one that will stay there.

and by journals of assumed good char
acter advocated that the mob shall be the
judge of the time, place and circum
stances when the laws may and when
they shall not be enforced, just so long
we will have the rule of passion and of
the moment, and just so long we shall
have weak men in Office and lawlessness
among the people.
There cannot be self-government unless
there is obedience by the governed to
their own laws, and respect for the au-
thority they themselves erect. We might
as well close the door upon the expert
ment of government of the people by the
people, if the press is to become the
preacher of the doctrine that the laws are
to be effective only so long, and to the
extent that the mob determines, and that
they may be assailed and overthrown by
any other than the methods provided by
the people for their orderly repeal or
modification.

MEN Who ARE ALWAYS BUSY.

Paine's Celery Compound Brightens
the Eye, Increases the Appetite,
Restores Sleep, Regulates the Vital
Organs.
Under the stress of social or business
duties, or both, how few business men
find time to properly repair the waste of
excessive mental labor and close contine-
ment.
The result of this neglect is plainly to
be read in the care-worn, nervous faces
and physical poverty of the average busi-
ness man one meets.
But Paine's celery compound brightens
their eyes, increases their appetite, causes
good digestion and regular action of the
organs of assimilation.
Much so-called overwork of business
men is the overwork Of worry, care, anx-
iety, haste. These make the severest
drafts on their vitality. Those who suf-
fer from nervous debility, mental depres-
sion, sleeplessness, or dyspepsia, find
Paine's celery compound powerful re-
storative. 1t regulates the liver and kid
neys, cleanses the blood, and feeds the
nerves and nerve centers all over the
body. Recovery from diseases of the
liver. kidneys and stomach by the aid of
Paine's celery compound is lasting. It is
the greatest of ali modern restorative
agents.
Paine's celery compound is prescribed
by physicians who differ in many other
things but agree in estimating highly this
greatest of remedies for curing diseases of
the kidneys. rheumatism, gout, dyspep-
sia, Brighps disease and stomach disor-
ders due to deranged nervous system.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION
A Plan Suggested for the Use of
Crushed Trap Rock.

A Plan Suggested for the Use of
Crushed Trap-Rock.
Resident members of the Executive
Committee of the County Road Conven-
ton held an informal meeting yesterday
at the Courthouse and lis tened to an ad-
dress by Roard Engineer H. Il. Fairman
Of Fresno, relative TO q new system OF
road construction by the art of crushed
trap-rock, certain combination of road
soil, by which it is claimed that roads
and streets of very superior quality
can be built at less than half the cost OF
nacadam.
The scheme contemplates crushing
trap-rock at or near Folsom. The COM
mittee debated the plan at length and by
resolution indorsed Mr.. Eairman's ideas
as worthy of high consideration and as
| adopted to a large class of roads in Cali
fornia. Some of these roads have been
ordered constructed in Fresno County,
and the committee resolved that it
would be wise to set up a plant at Fol-
som for the preparation of the trap ma
terial to try the new method in Sacra-
mento County.
