The great obstacle TO the building on

when money was so tight the bridge
would now have been well under way.

company TO build a suspension bridge

The enormous cost Of the longer can
tilever at once put it out Of considera-
tion. and it remained TO choose between
the shorter span, with a pier IN the
river. and the suspension bridge. The
difference in cost is more striking IN
appearance than in reality, for the cor4
struction of the cantilever involved the
erection Of a pier in midriver, with a
foundation 26O feet below the sea level,
mr. more than 100 feet deeper than has
ever before been attempted. In the
suspension bridge, on the other hand,
there is nothing unknown. Although
the dimensions of the bridge are great
or than those of any existing structure,
they are all calculable, and may be
considered as determinate in cost with
ont any question as to contingencies.
The foundations would be only l25 feet
deem. Furthermore, a Suspension bridge
can be made readily adaptable to in
creased traffic demand, which a canti-
lever cannot.
The Army Board experts not only
decided that a 3.200-foot span was
practicable but also estimated that, il
necessary, the span could be extended
to 1888 feet and still be within the
limit Of engineering possibility.

most independent of men. For him
most laws were framed, to him most
public men looked for support, and from
the farming class came nearly all that
was best in the ranks of business and
professional men,
This continued, with slight diminu-
ton, until little before the civil war.
After the close of that struggle began
the most wonderful railroad growth ever
known, and the broad and fertile fields
of the west were opened for settlement.
Thousands and tens of thousands of
the more enterprising among eastern
farmers left the less productive states
where they had been raised to begin
over again in the newly opened parts Of
the country. Before long these trans
planted farmers of the new states en-
tered into close competition with the
stay at homes of the old ones. Because
of this competition among other reasons
more or less connected with railroad
management, the money question, ETC.,
prices of farm products have since gone
down, but without corresponding dec
lination of other prices. Hard times
set in for most farmers long before
stringency was felt in the centers of
population.
The farm that once yielded not only
a living, but a comfortable income as
we'll, enabling its owner to live like
prince, ;" could furnish the living only,
sometimes hardly that, and then only
when wrung out of the soil by the hard
est and most unremitting toll. This
condition, which has been aggravated
in many sections by the decreased de-
mands for horses, due to the INCREASING
use of electricity, bicycles and horselcss
carriages, has resulted in driving many
of the brightest and most energetic OF
the young men away from the farms,
the cities have become congested beyond
precedent, and many hold to the view
that the day Of the farmer prosperity
has permanently departed.
But there are those who think differ
emily. They believe the trend of the
times to be toward a better chance for
the agriculturist, no matter what may
be done with the tariff or the money of
the nation. These hold that the very
growth of the cities, so much deplored
by many, will assist in this, while the
wonderful scientific advances of the age,
in their opinion, will be still more
important helpful element. In the era
that is about to begin, according to these
sanguine predictions, the farmer, in
stead of being overworked and poorly
rewarded. as is now so often the case,
will be master of scientific appliance,
which he will so utilize as to enable
him to secure not only the income TO
which he is entitled, but such degree
of leisure as will render it possible for
him to assume his old time rightful
place in affairs.
In spite of the hard times the farm
ers have encountered within the past
few years, both east and west, I" these

Large vessels have four or five holds,
and a distinction is made in storing the

the center of the vessel, while cured
provisions are packed as far forward and
as far aft as possible, for their better
preservation from the heat of the ships
