TALK OF THE NEW BRIDGE
The Plans v0s Construction Under Engi.
neef Loweth's Dissection.

siGSE kfoW YEN 1AbCCghCus
The Davenport Democrat las the
following relating to the conssruc
ton Of the new Crescent bridge, Of
which +. P. Blair is the promo
end to the resumption of operations
on which The ARGUS has heretofore
extensively alluded: "Ths Cresccn,
bridge is showing signs of life I'M.
mistskable. The air is full of the
rumors Of its activity and the WORK
that is to be done on it this fall.
Some Of the papers of the tri.cities
have even published the balances in
the various banks to the credit OF
Promoter Frank p. Blair, and there
is general agreement that the gods
have come down to earth again in
the direction Of this improvement.
The first river pier is being finished
and the work on It will soon be done.
The cofferdam is being placed in DO
sition for the second one. The graa-
lite for the piers all the way across
the river has been ordered. All the
piers are to be fsced with granite TO
u point above high water mark,
and the stones to a point
above the reach OF the ice are all
to be bolted fa,. to the foundation.
The other stone for the piers has
been contracted for, and other III a.
terial, il IL said, will be coming from
time to time, IS it Is needed, and
will be needed Us fast as large force
o! mel can throw it into form. The
shore work is to be begun on both
sides OF the river, 1t is now expected
within 60 days, and barge il being
bulls that will enable the erection of
the piers on the Iowa side to proceed
st once. 1t is too slow to work from
the Illinois side alone. The best in
dication of certain aud sustained ac-
Hvfsy is tho removal to this city of
c. F. .Lowetb, the engineer in charge
Of the work. MIR. LoWeth lives at
st. Panl when he is at home, and is
an engineer of experience and abi,-
isy, bat for some time to come his
steady address will be Davenport.
He does not like to make prom.
ises in advance OF perform
ance, for many things easily
noPPeu w ulHCSI tncir 6ccomvIlSh-
ment, but he is sure enough Of hie
ground to aver that work has been
begun with completion In sight.
There is practically nothing to be
done bat to build the bridge and the
approaches and terminals. There
sre no right OF way matters of i'm
portance to make trouble In the fu-
ture, and, as faz as can be seen uow,
oil is clear sailing. Il is iutimated
that there are largo interests back of
the bridge and its construction, hut
their names and identity hiss net yet
appeared. and may not appear ut
once. For the mass Of the people Of
this city, however, it is enough to
know that the work is going on to
finish, regardless OF the amount CT
money il costs. In the first place
a partly flushed structure such as
bridge is not q good advertisement
Tor any town, and in tho next place
We expect some benefit from that
bridge when it is finished"

easi Waterways.
|NHERE is feeling among the
|gA river men that nsptha launch
- es should be provided with
some sort CT whistle or
horn. SO they can give signals to the
large steamers as to the side they
desire to take in passing thom. Ono
Of the oldest river captains said TO q
reporter of the Davenport Leader on
this subject:
"There is nothing in She law which
requires the masters OF naptha
launches to signal a passing steamer
as to the side they desire TO take in
passing and. go far as l know, there
is but ore OF them who has done any
signalling at all. It seems to me
that they should do all this whether
there is a law governing it or not.
The reason for it should be very an
parent. While there were SO few
launches on the river il did not maj
ter much whether there was o sig.
nal or not, but now that the num-
ber Of these small craft has crcpt
up to something like twenty-five in
the three cities. and they gather oc.
casionslly In fleets and fill the river,
it makes it very puzzling to the river
pilot as to what 20 do.
81 have bad considerable expert
ence In the matter, ard cftentimes
have been alarmed and have slowed
down the engines In order to be sure
as to the course the launch would
take.
