THE WINGS OF THE BRIDGE.
They Are to Be Of Stone, ass Feet Long,
and from 4 to ~ Feet High-0ther
Stone Work.

Lie OEJk1ut4 SpcCIuCt1CAOuo AOA WV
bridge were as blind and indefinite
as possible in many respects, and one
of the most absurd provisions was
that wings should be: built to the
abutments, OF stone, to the length OF
255 feet, as directed by the engineer.
A width OF feet at the bottom and
2 feet at the top was provided. but
no height mentioned, When Lars
M. Anderson decided to bid on the
work of repairing the bridge, he dis
covered that it was absolutely im-
possible to bid under the specifica-
tons that the council provided, as
some OF the most important pieces OF
work were not specified. He en-
ployed Attorney Rhodes to go be-
fore the council and ask that the
specifications he made Ineligible. A
number Of suggestions were made,
all of them apparently reasonable,
but the only one the council COM
piled with was to give some details
about the stone wings to the abut-
ments. The council has now
adopted plans regarding that, show
ing that wings are in height from 4
to IL feet. The average height ia
about 8 feet and the thickness will
average 8 feet, 80 with the 255 feet in
length there are practically 1900
cubic feet, or 20 cords. At the rea.
sonable cost OF $16 per cord the cost
of constructing the wings will reach
$1,12O. That ia outside the cost Of
excavating. Abutments and piers
must be built up with stone. 1t IL
thus apparent that the stone work
will cost in the .neighborhood OF
$500. The city has planned to pey
about $17W' for the fir timber. So
that without the labor, the flooring,
the sidewalks, braces for the side
walks, or new iron, the bridge will
cost over $4,000.
p Such an Improvement" of that
old bridge seems to be an eXtravs'
CANT use Of the city's money.
A fraction of that amO unit would
have put the bridge in good condi:
ton. for use until the city can con
structsuch a structure as the condi-
tions warrant.
. Competent engineers have stated
that about $1,000 would place the
bridge in condition to- be used fol
some time.
Besides the faults in the specifica.
lions regarding the dimensions OF
the stone work, there are Others
that seem to prevent any contractor
from determining just what the
council will expect to be done under
the contract. Not only, is the ex:
pense Of the Improvement larger
than the conditions would warrant,
but the city's interests are not pro
perly guarded. The whole matter
is discreditable to the officials who
are responsible for it.

chapel and school. The following
spring he was able to preach to the
Indians In their native Chippewa.
In the year 1865 he returned to st.
Paul to adtend the clerical retreat
Destitute of means Of support fol-
the Indian missions he now labored
at Belle Prairie, attending Little
Falls, an Indian trading post with.
or the whites had congregated after
the Indian outbreak of 1862. Here he
built q log church in which, the Rt.
Rev. Bishop Grace administered con.
firmation and in the same year he
erected a church in Crow Wing. In
the year 1866 he built a church in
North Prairie, another in Rich
Prairie and one in chinatown, for
the Polish and one for the Irish and
Canadian Catholics, In the year
1868 he built a church and estah-
lished a school at Long Prairie. -"
"A most notable event in this ec-
clesiastic's career ia the TACT that he
was the first missionary to hold re-
ligious services in White Earth on
Feb. p, 1869. In 1871 he commenced
missionary labors in Rrainerd, build
ing a church there. In 1875 he &C.
companied the Rt. Rev. Bishop Seid=
enbush on his first continuation tour
through his vicarate of st. Cloud,
visiting fourteen places enroute.
From 1877 to 1878 he had charge of
all the missions along the Northern
Pacific railroad from Duluth to
Brainerd and from Carlton to Hinck-
ley, and on the Wisconsin side he at
tended Superior, West Superior,
bayfield,, Ashland and La Point. In
1878 his missions were st. Joseph,
Otter Tail county, Perham, Little
Fails and Belle Prairie.
In 1883 he went to Tower, where
he still resides. During his stay at
Tower he has built churches at Two
Harbors, Ely and Virginia. To pro-
vide missionaries Father Buh made
two trips to Europe, one In 1870,
when he visited the holy land, the
latter In 1883 when he celebrated the
silver Jubilee of his priesthood. On
his return from both trips he was
accompanied by many students.

FATHER BuH's cAREER.
A Life Filled With HaYdships ana Labor
in the Missionary, Field in Northern
, w.. ,.rf Minnesota. " .5t.,f52.3'

A sketch of the career of Father
Buh shows a. life filed with the
hardest kind OF work that a minis.
ter OF the gospel can perform, says
the Duluth Herald. His lie has been
spent on the frontier in missionary
work IN times when this state was
but thinly settled and wa anything
but the garden spot It now ID. He
has labored among people ofhun-
bic life and small means. He IL q
most remarkable linguist and speaks,
reads and writes a great numberof
languages. As win BE- seen, from
the brief sketch OF his career given
herewith, he mastered the Chippewa
tongue In LEES than one years time
and was able to preach to the "a.
dians who were his charges u
their own Language in that time. i
!. Born in Austria sixty-seven years
ago, the Rev. Joseph F. Buh emil
grated to America and at the invita-
ton of the aged missionary, Rev.
Francis Pirz, who had charge.cf tho
missionary field In Northern Mime
sofa and the Dakotas.. Having en-
barked at. Havre, France, April 10,
1894, accompanied by sixteen stu.
dents. among .vhom wers Fredertck
Katzer, now the archbishop OF MIL
waukee, and James Trobec, the pres,
emit bishop OF st. Cloud, he arrived
in st. Paul in May of the same year
and remained at the cathedral until
when the late Bishop
Grace appointed him to Crow Wing
to labor among the Indians. Thence
he went to Winnibigoshish lake,
staying there during the winter in q
room which served as a lodging,
chapel and school. The following
spring he was able to preach to the
Indians In their native Chippewa.
