Problem of Bridges

One of the items of expense which will be of some importance through the valley will be that of providing bridges across the many canals, lat erals, and minor ditchcs. and the Cali fornia Development company is show ing comulendable enterprise in build- ing some of the largest of these. IL is no small matter to build bridge with two spans having a combined length of los feet. like two bridges which have been built. and it is no small ir- rigation canal which requires such bridges. But there is naturally a linn itatiom on the obligation of the com pauy to build bridges, and in all probability the county will be called on in time 10 do a portion of this work from the road fund. Lack of county roads. however, forces this question into ,he future until after the roads have been located.

New PAPER Hold. water.

There are many so-ealled waterproof
papers. and several are prepared with
rarafin and linseed oil. None OF
them. however. holds water any length
OF time. and not one OF them Il totally
uninfueneod By greasy matters. Such
a combination as supple. fat and wa
terpruof papers with a glossy surface
does not exist. The new process con-
sists in treating paper with a boiling
hot mixture of parafin and linseed oil
and pressing between rolls. This pro-
cedure is carried out twice. The pa
per is then treated with shellac and
finally with powered tale. The paper
is aEaia rolled and pressed. which is
the finishing process. The varnishes
employed serve to make the paper Inn
pervious to fatty substances and pre-
vent the paper from having any un-
pleasant smell. says the Paper Trade
Journal. The tale Is glaze-givins
substance. which at c''e same time
serves to give the paper a leathery
consistency and is not easily torn, yet
does not crack.
