MAKING A FARM BRIDGE.
The Structure Here Described Has
Witbstood the Freshets of Two
Rainy Springs.

We have recently built a new bridge
across the creek on our farm. This
creek is the center of wide ravine-
pasture, and the peach orchards are on
the high ground on the farther side. A
good bridge is therefore a necessity to
us. The difficulty however, has been
to get bridge which would not be ex-
orbitant in cost and yet which would
be capable of withstanding the spring
freshets. The entire creek bottom
land is often overfowed, and ordinary
bridges are quickly undermined or
else they float away onto some other
fellows land. But think the problem
is now solved.
AS stone is scarce in our part of the
country (and as we are not million
aires) a wooden bridge was the only
thing to consider. The span of the
creek-bed proper is about 16 feet, and
the bill for the material footed up is
follows:
Three 6x6x1s pine stringers.... 90
Plank rail (2x4's), nails. ...... rs
Paint .......S. .................. 40
labor ................. 20
Eleven cedar posts. l 10
Total ................... .Sl4 20
The first thing done was to sharpen
and drive three cedar posts on each
side of the creekbed, and three in the
center of the bed. Uhave placed black
dots on the accompanying cut, show
ing the location of these posts.) Next,
using some old planking from former
bridge, the outer side of each approach
was planked up vertically from the
creek-bed to the top of the posts.
Then the short spaces between bank
and abutment were filed in with old
logs, rubbish, sod and dirt-making a
nicely graded, inclined approach on
each side of the creek. The inclined APP
proaches were necessary because we
desired to have the bridge floor as high
as would be conveniently possible, so
as to have it above the height of the
ordinary spring overflow.
Next. the stringers were put on and
firmly nailed to each abutment and to
the central supports. We tried in

The votinu Machine,

1t was again demonstrated election
day that the voting machine is most
desirable adjunct to an election. Ma
chimes were in use in Rochester, N. Y,
where they have been tried for several
years, and the results were even more
satisfactory than they have been in
the past. Everybody who wishes an
honest election and prompt and &C.
curate count agrees that the machine
is invaluable, and declares that if they
can ever be obtained at a reasonable
price there can be no question of their
introduction into every state in the
Union.
The voting machines have been so
perfected that the voter can make no
mistakes. No ballots are thrown out
because an elector votes for two can
didates for the same Office. Election
officers do not have to waste time over
improperly marked tickets. The ma
chine registers accurately and the vote
is counted as the voter casts it.
There is an immense gain also in
counting. The total vote is ascer-
tanned Immediately on the closing of
the polls. There is no weary all night
task incident to reading scratched
tickets. Every candidates total Is
registered when each voter leaves the
booth. And above all, there can be no
Juggling with ballots during the count
and no Withholding of returns with a
view to making dishonest changes that
will overcome matorities elsewhere.
The vote is announced the moment the
polls close. and there is no going be-
hind it.

The Third Office to be Vacated by
DoIe's Order-Power Is Doubted.

Honolulu, Nov. flames H. Boyd,
territorial superintendent of public
works, has been suspended from Office
by Governor Dole and arrested on a
warrant charging him with the en-
bezzlement of s1650 of public funds.
The ousting of Boyd makes vacant a
third important territorial Office and
has involved Governor Dole in another
legal tangle as to his power of suspen-
sion of officials.
Boyd was in San Francisco when his
chief clerk, B. H. Wright, was arrested
on account Of alleged embellishments
aggregating over $4,000, and when
Treasurer Wright was accused with
absconding with $4,000 of public
funds and Auditor Austin was suspend
ed under grave charges. Boyd returned
here on October % and was handed a
letter from the governor, notifying him
that Secretary Cooper would remain
in charge of his department until Ger
tain irregularities had been explained
Boyd's explanations were the payment
of s6307 into the department which
had not been accounted for. Governor
Dole advised Boyd by letter that his
explanation of where the money had
been and how it had been used during
the interval when it was not in the
public treasury was Slightly unsatis
factory" and asked for an immediate
resignation. The superintendent re
ply was q note stating that he would
resume charge of his off1ce.
| AS in the case Of Auditor Austin
Governor Dole placed police on guard
to keep Boyd out of his Office. Boyd
appeared at the capitol building and
attempted to enter his Office. An Of
fcer kept him out and later he re
turned with his attorney and some wit
nesses and renewed the effort. There
was a violent struggle in the corridor
Of the building and then Boyd gave up
He will ask the courts for a writ Of
mandamus to compel the governor tc
allow him to resume charge Of his
office, claiming that the governor has
no power to suspend without the con
sent of the senate.
The public works department is the
most important under the territorial
government, carrying on large con
tracts and employing many persons.
The departmental difficulties leave
the administration in great embarrass
ment, owing to the doubt as to Gov
ernor Dole's power to suspend an of
fetal. 1t is understood that the gov
ernor has laid the situation before
President Roosevelt and may receive
some instructions as to how to pro
coed. In the meantime Secretary
Cooper is in charge of the department

|DOUKHOBOR FANATICS HELD
MOUNTED POLICE NOW GUARD.
ING THEM.
Have Been Forcibly Entrained-WilI
Send Them Back to Northern Vii
lages--A Remarkable Pilgrimage
They Act Like Crazies-StruggIe
for Freedom-Some Escaped.

Minnedosa, Man.. Nov. 10.-After
one of the most exciting incidents in
the history Of the northwest the Douk-
hobor fanatics have been forcibly en-
trained and are now guarded by a
large detachment of mounted police,
who are kept busy preventing the Rus
SLAMS from throwing themselves from
the car windows.
The mounted police will drive the
Doukhobors to their northern villages,
ending the most remarkable pilgrim
age in Canadian territory.
The Doukhobors arrived here en-
route to Winnipeg. and were driven
into skating rink. where they were
held till morning. They attempted to
resume the journey with the mercury
standing 10 below zero. Government
officials held them with difficulty in
the byroad until the military train ar
rived with 500 mounted police. The
fanatics were addressed by the officials
and told they would have to go home.
They cried: mo; We go to seek
Jesus"
Seibroff, their leader. harangued his
followers, instructing them not to re.
sist.
Two hundred farmers who gathered
at the train to see them and 500 other
citizens surrounded them and offered
assistance.
EiftxY Of tho fonotiao NJ
made a rush on the road to 60 east.
Surrounded by the crowd they resisted
desperately and the police grappled
with the leaders and carried them
bodily to the cars.
Seibroff had to be taken to the cars
IN wagon. When the rink vomited
forth the fanatics an indescribable
scene followed. Farmers, townspeople
and police threw themselves on the
Doukhobors and dragged or carried
them to the station. The latter en-
circled each other with their arms and
seemed linked together as by bands of
steel. While they struggled they gave
voice to their weird chant.
Some struggled so hard that their
clothing was literally torn from their
backs. For over an hour the road to
the station was crowded with people
and the excitement was intense.
The Doukhobors refused to strike
but struggled blindly for freedom
Their captors with blood warmed by
the struggles, shouted and cursed as
the bloodless battle became more ex
citing, and when the cars were reached
struggle ensued. Stalwart police
handed up the kicking Russians, who
were thrust into dark. cold coache;
like cattle, and the foreigners threw
themselves against the windows ant
doors barred to prevent their escape
During the enforced entraining of the
men a small blizzard sprang up ant
the weather became intensely cold
The Doukhobors have been living OF
wheat and raw material. Tonight
small quantities of bread were thrown
to them. Many are physical wrecks.
Only about 20 out of the 500 escaped
any they are on The prairie in a tenn
perature that means death to them.
| The action taken was on instructions
from the federal government, which
said the pilgrims must be sent home
if they had to be carried.

Winnipeg, Man,. Nov. 1.-THE
Doukhobors wera taken by special
train from Minnedosa to Yorkton and
were kept in the cars closely guarded
by Northwest mounted police. II the
fight to move them one hundred yards
is any example of what the govern
ment has to contend with, 1t will take
much larger force to move them the
one hundred miles to their villages,
which are that distance from Yorkton.
Minnedosa dispatches tell of stormy
scenes during the entrainment Of the
pilgrims there. After repeated inter-
views with Seikroff. the leader Of the
fanatics, Agent Speers decided to use
force and grabbing the leader by the
shoulders pushed him out of the build
ing In which the Doukhobors had spent
the night, at the same time calling on
the policemen to bring the rest.
AS they came out the fanatics locked
themselves together. each man cling
ing to his neighhor. thus making a
solid body. The citizens turned out
to help the police. but it was hard
work to pry the fanatics apart, 1t TAX
ms four or five men to pull one Douk-
hobor from the interlaced mass. Some
went quietly when broken away, but
the majority fought every inch Of the
way. One citizen had an ear nearly
bitten off. Doukhabor had his ankle
broken and there were many other
minor mishaps. A few went to the
coaches alone, but the majority were
carried bodily, pushed or loaded into
the wagons of farmers who had gath
cred to see the fight.
