TO BUILD
WICHITA BRIDGE COMPANY WILL
PUT UP FINE STRUCTURE.
$1,000 Worth of Machinery Is Ready
for Shipment.


by June I the Wichita Bridge company
viii be in its new building and win be
running 5000 worth of new machinery by
compressed air said Mr. George II. Brad
ford. the manager, TO a reporter for the
Eagle yesterday. We own two lots down
between the tracks of the Santa Fe, Rock
Island and Frisco, just opposite the
Pcarce Furniture company's factory
which burned. and we viii build struc-
ture there, either of corrugated iron or
brick Seven thousand dollars worth of
machinery is ready for shipment includ-
ing such machines as bolt riveting ma
chimes, cold saws. riveters, an air COM
pressor, and the like. The air compressor
we got for our power, as it allows the
machinery to be transportable which is
necessary in bridge work, as it is easier
TO move machinery than the immense
pieces you are working upon.
The Wichita Bridge company Is now op-
Grating in the factory of the Wichita
Manufacturing company on the corner Of
Second and Santa Fe. They employ fifty
men. and it is the great increase in their
business, which extends over Kansas,
oklahoma and Indian Territory, that has
coused this move for more ample quar-
ters and expedient machinery. In the last
week they have shipped sixteen steel
bridges down into Oklahoma and have
contracts for fifty more.

this week and asked them what they
thought about the bulletin of the state

Sl.50 per ton on sugar beets us feed for
hogs and sheep. Both promptly declar-
ed the statement absolutely ridiculous
and stated emphaticelly that the beets
were SO valuable for feed that no sugar
factory could have theirs even at Sc 90
ton. They said one visit to their feed
ing pens would be sufficient to convince
any sane man of the fact.
