The picture which Gaylord Sangston
Truesdell sends to the Salon of the Champs
Elysees this spring Is called Changing
Pastures" showing a woman driving
flock of sheep through the edge of the
woods out into the sunlit open beyond. The
absolute sincerity and fidelity to nature
with which the picture Is painted finds an
illustration In the type the artist has chos-
en- for the woman driving the sheep. He
has refused to add to the pleasing quail
ties Of the picture by making her beauti-
full, or to heighten the effect by making
her appearance picturesque. but has shown
a type of the French peasantry, woman
grown prematurely old by a life of unre-
mitting toll. No matter how prosaic the
truth may be, he always paints life as it is.
The sheep are drawn and painted with the
accurate knowledge which comes only from
long study, and which has given the artist
an envied place among contemporary ami
NAL painters. The woods which form the
setting for the figure and the flock of
sheep are in the garb of early autumn,
and there is a fine effect of color and at
mosphere. qualities that one would natur-
ally expect in Mr.. TruesdelPs work, as he
Is one of the most uncompromising ad-
herents Of the plein air school, and his pic
lures are executed out Of doors from start
to finish.

THE YOUNG's BAY BRIDGE.

Astoria, January l0-CTo the Editor)
In view OF the vast Importance, to
three-fourths Of the people In the coun-
ty. in connection with the bridging Of
OF Young's river to connect the Lewis
and Clarke region with the city OF As
tOria, I beg leave 20 discuss the pro-
ject in a spirit OF fairness and point
out in our estimation the duty Of our
honorable county court in the matter.
Now, what are the facts In the case :?
Some nine years ago a project was
started TO get a county road from As
toria via Lewis and Clarke to ClatsOp
Plains and Sea View. At that time
the residents Of the Lewis and Clarke
river had no way Of communication
cept by poor boat with Astoria. Not
withstanding there Is a large settle
ment and that hundreds OF dollars
are collected every year by the county.
Well. few enterprising men have
borne the brunt Of all this, and they
are certainly more entitled to recogni-
tion than land speculators that have
large holdings and do nothing but
wait for the country TO build up
around them. We have built up and
improved the property, thereby Great
ing more taxes for the county.
While bearing all Of these burdens
we ranchers have expended on this
road over $4,000, and the county has
expended nearly as much more
making in all about 5000, and now
when the only thing needed Is the
bridging Of one stream to make all
Of this country available to the city
and country, a system Of jealousy and
individual selfshness crops out TO try
and subvert, delay and oppose the con-
summation Of the project
Petition after petition has been cir
culated, not by stealth or in private,
but by advertising the petition in ad-
vance, that the taxpayers all knew just
what they were signing. But here
comes a point as to what kind Of a
bridge the petitioners asked for. 1t
was generally understood that a good
pile trestle with wooden draw 10 or Is
feet would fill all the requirements

both TO navigation and the accommo-
datton OF the public. and the petition
asked Tor an extra levy 10 cover the
expenses OF the bridge, which was
based on estimates made 10 be from
$4,000 to 5000. A special levy was
made In accordance with the wish of the
petitioners. Then comes the discussion
OF what kind OF bridge TO build and
what length OF draw was needed. y
very few claimed that s0-fcot draw
In the clear was required IN Young =

and sometimes she went through TO

ter the widest boat on the Columbia.
MAJ have gone 10 Grecnwood once u
year, and perhaps twice, but | think
the statement can be made without
fear OF contradiction that the Potter
has not made one trip year To Green
wood since the cemetery was opened
and when she did go one OF the other
cumpany's boats could Just as we'll
have made the trip, and II there was
no other boat In the river the Potter
could have made the trip through a
75-toot draw.
In the general discussion the court
was all agreed that a steel draw would
be the cheapest in the end. which no
one denies. but a steel draw and n
long span enhanced the cost far be-
yond the anticipation OF the taxpayers
who began To make kick.
Then comes a cry from several par
ties that own real estate In another
locality that they have been holding
for term OF years without improve
.ment, waiting for some one to make
improvements - enhance the value of
their holdings, and now they think the
county ought 10 bridge in their localI-
