BUILDING THE BRIDGE.
Discussion of the Plans by Representa-
tive of the 1feIan Co.

Discussion of the Plans by Representa-
tive of the 1TeIan Co.
The county commissioners have at
least heard from an authority on the
bridge question. Mr. w. Il. Keepers,
one of the engineers of the Melan com
pany appeared before the board this
morning to explain what it would be
necessary for the board to do to proceed
with the advertising for bids.
There are two WAYS" said he, "for
the board to proceed. The bridge is a
patent, of course, and we are rather
tenacious of our rights. l, find. how
ever. that it will be necessary for you to
employ an engineer to furnish the pre-
liminary plans"
But the statute does not provide that
he shall be resident engineer" replied
Mr.. Campbell, ''and we might select your
company if we chose"
"Yes, that is true" replied Mr.. Keep
ers, sand l understand that you have
two applicants for the position of super
intendent I have nothing to say about
the employment of either of the gentle
men, and will only tell you what it will
be necessary for you to do in order to
get the plans.
"You may either pay our company for
the plans, including the royalty, in which
case they will be the property of the
county and filed here to be examined by
the contractors who bid, or you may re-
quire that the contractor furnish the
plans. in which case the successful bid
der would have to purchase the plans
from us. This last may be open TO the
objection that the Melan company hav-
ing complete control of the plans, could
underbid other contractors. though l
will not say that this is true"
'The other plan will make the bidding
free to every one?" Inquired Mr.. Rod
gers.
Yes, if the county purchases the
plans it would mako the bidding abso-
lutely pen. Any reliable contractor can
build the bridge. Everything rests with
the superintendent, who must see that
the work is done we'll OF course we
will include in the cost of the
plans, if you purchase them of rs
man who shall have general
supervision of the work; he might be
called consulting engineer aud it may
not be necessary fer him to be here all
the time,'
The commissioners took no action this
forenoon but Mr.. Keepers will again ap-
pear before the board this afternoon.
Col Tweeddale and Mr. Hinckley, who
want to be appointed superintendent by
the commissioners were present. but
neither said anything.

A SUCCESSFUL HUNT.
A Party of Topeka Sportsmen Return
From the Indian Territory.

7. J Kellam, W. A. L Thompson, Hi
ram Dillon. John Dillon of New York
and Jack Mohler of New York returned
yesterday from three weeks shooting
trip in the Indian Territory.
The party travelled in Santa Fe special
car No. 212 and went over the Rock Isl
andto Chickasha, I. T.. from which point
they travelled overland.
Mr.. Thompson said that while he was
out one day quail shooting he came upon
a deer which was not more than twenty
yards from him. but as he had only No.
S shot in his gun he did not shoot at il.
He said the party could have bagged
number of deer, but they were after
quails exclusively and were not equip
ped for larger game. Quails, he says,
are in great abundance in the territory,
and the party enjoyed most successful
hunt.

Wheat-Prostration of telegraph wires
between commercial centers resulted in
very unsatisfactory condition OF affairs in
the wheat pit to-day. Communication
with the seaboard was entirely cut
off, SO that foreign advices were not re-

but little active trading was INDUCED in.

idle. The SHOWS throughout the west,
although eminently good thing for the

THE vALKxRIE FOR SALE.
VIII Probably Be Bought and Raced
Against the Defender

Against the Defender.
NEW YORK, Nov. 26,-Yachting men
were Interested today in a report from
Boston that Lord Dunraven has decided
to sell Valkyrie Ill. The news is con-
tanned in the following dispatch from a.
6. McVey, Boston expert:
"Since matters have turned out as they
have regarding the Defender and the
Valkyrie, and as the Defender people, in
all probability, will never start their boat
in race against the Valkyrie under her
present management, the statement is
made semi-officially that the VaIkyrie is
for sale and is now in the market"
This shows plainly that Lord Dunraven
now does not expect race next year on
this side.
