MOST NOVEL OF BRIDGES.
Tall Tale of n Solemn-Faced Man About n
Risky Western Journey.

Speaking of BRIDGES" said the solemn
faced man. =" think the most novel and orig
inal, and. for that matter. the most quickly
constructed bridge I ever heard Of was one de-
signed on the spur of the occasion by a friend
with whom L was travelling. to connect the
sides OF a chasm which we desired to cross.
when we came to the place where the
bridge should have been we found that the
bridge that had spanned this chasm had been
carried away by some Of the terrible gusts
that swept down the treeless adjacent noun
tains. 1t seemed to me that there was nothing
to do but to go back and go around another
way. about fourteen miles further. but my
friend Was quite equal to the emergency. We
were packing with us q piece OF brown cotton
cloth. forty-four and a half yards. The chasm
was thirty feet wide.
I'VE took that piece Of cotton cloth and
doubled it into four folds. which. you see,
folded it up into a length Of "a feet *
inches. When we arrived there the wind was
blowing a gale square across the chasm. The
weather was the coolest l ever knew.
My friend took that piece of cotton cloth,
doubled it as / have told you. and then loosely
folded over on itself for convenience in carry
Ing to a warm spring near by. with the situa-
ton Of which 1t seems ne was acquainted. and
It was thoroughly saturated. meanwhile ex-
playing to me his, plan of operations;
NES up - nv A1o Nlit Dbpbi SAh tdIIl
other. he with his right arm extended toward
me and 1 with my left arm extended toward
him. our hands meeting and the two arms
IKE a flattened arch; Then we took that soak
Ing wet bundle Of cloth and drew one end OF it
across that arch; each OF us holding a corner
down with. his free hand. and then we cast
TIE rest OF the cloth loose. The gale blew
the cloth out straight across. the chasm
and 1t froze stih as a board as 1t went. The
other end fell on the opposite edge Of the
chasm and we set our end down on this. 1t
had shrunk a little. of course. in freezing. and
was now thirty-four feet scant. thus giving a
tribe less than two feet over at each end, a
pretty narrow margin; but my friend hadn't
dared, fold the cotton into three lengths for
fear that that would not make the bridge stout
enough to bear our weight.
Sothere we had overthis thirty foot chasm n
bridge that was in shape like an enlarged tele-
scopic coal chute. such as they use on coal
wagons in the city, turned with the curv-
ing side upward a bridge planned, constructed
and put up in about thirty minutes. 1t was
slippery. and We put the wrong side up for safe
ty;but we each had new arctics with very much
corrugated sOles, and by using great care we
managed to get across all right.
Then we pulled the bridge over and carried
1t along with us on our shoulders the way you
would Il canoe. to the house of the man where
W: were going. We stood 1t up on end against
the side OF that mans house, and left 1t there.
We didn't need the cloth right away and we
left, i there to thaw out and got our friend to
fold 1t up then and send IL along by a man that
was coming our way"

THE TAHOE ROAD.
Highway Commissioner Maude
Says It Is in Fair Condition

A week ago to-day Governor Gage,
Highway Commissioner Maude and
State Librarian ellis left for Lake Ia
hoe. AT Placerville they were the guests
of Judge Adams. The next morning, ac-
companied by Marco Varrosa, the Lake
Tahoe Wagon Road Commissioner, they
started on their long drive to the sum-
nit, their route lying over the old
Strawberry Valley road It was a six
teen hours drive to Strawberry, but it
was made before camp was pitched.
The next day the party reached the
State line, where California jurisdiction
over the road ceases, and turning on the
back track they finally called halt at
Tallac, on the shore of Lake Tahoe
The next day was spent in making a
horseback trip around the edge of the
lake, and in a boat ride, in the course
of which between thirty and forty
pounds Of trout were hooked.
On Saturday the Governor and Mr.
ellis went to Truckee, where they took
train for this city, and Mr. Maude
drove back, taking notes on the condi-
tion of the State road. The road, he
says, is in a fairly good condition,
though some of the retaining walls are
crumbling and in need of repair Mr.
Maude also proposes to have num-
Der of frame culverts and bridges re-
placed by permanent stone arch struc-
lures.

fruit. Major Heuer, Government En-
gineer,. has made careful examination
Of the existing conditions, and has for
warde to the Secretary of War plans
and oecifications for his approval.
which, when approved, will undoubtedr
ly give the relief sought.
The plans outline system of jetties
similar to those put in by the State
Engineers at Newtown Shoal, but more
complete. The specifications provide
for twenty-one individual jetties, the
one furthest up to begin at the lower
end of the way on the Yolo side, and
extending into the river SO as to con-
fine the water in the stream to a JOO-
foot channel on the Sacramento side.
The jetties will be placed at a dis
lance apart which will warrant fill
ing in on the Yolo side, and while the
first one will project into the river
about opposite the foot of K street, the
one lowest down will enter at the turn
of the stream below the gas works.
When completed the system will be the
most elaborate of the kind in the State.
