NEARING COMPLETION
The Marys' River Bridge at Corvallis
1t is $50 Feet Long.

Marys river bridge at Corvallis
is nearing completion. Contractor
Mi11ho1len does not however, expect
to have it ready by August 1st, as
is provided for in the courts time
limit. Inability to get material 10
which all builders have been subjec-
ted this season by reason of unpre-
cedented demand, is cheaf1y re-
sponsible for the delay. Mr. Mill
ho1len expects though to have the
structure completed by the next
term of the county court, which
convenes a week from next We'd
nesday.
The bridge is $50 feet long. That
| is a tenth of a mile. The span IS
$50 feet. The south approach is
22o feet; the north approach 16ofeet
savethe guard rail, is all complete,
the flooring having been laid some
timeago.
The span also swings in position
and the piles have been driven for
it to rest on. It is supported at
either end by o piles. Each pile is
twelve inches square. They are
sawed piles. The workmen are
now engaged on the south approach.
The flooring of the bridge is of IS
foot timbers, three inches bytwelve.
1t has been suggested that if half Or
three-quarters of an inch space was
left between the piece when the
flooring is laid that benefits would
accrue. The interstices would al
low the dirt to pass through the
floor and disappear, reducing the
strain on the bridge and keeping
the floor clean. The latter consid-
Grafton would lessen the decay of
the flooring. The only disadvan-
tage is that the edges Of the boards
would wear more than if placed
closer together.

sultant delay of the reports ofc1erks
in sending their reports to the su-
perintendent.
Other facts set out in the report
are of interest. The number of
pupils between four and twenty
years of age on the teachers regis

One Phase e of the Can al Pro bier m.

II is hard for the people OF the
United States to get in close touch
with the real issues in the Isthmian
project. Being so far removed from
the scene, knowing so little about
Nicaragua and Panama. the great
mass of the people are compelled to
take the word of the paid lobbyists
o. the subsidized interests in con-
gress. For that reason, the view of a
man who has been on the scene, who
has seen conditions are as they are
and who has talked with the people,
are specially valuable.
Mr. James C. Deidrick, of Canton,
is just home from trip into Nicar-
agua and Costa Rica, where he gave
the canal question considerable study.
The word that he brings back from
Central America and the Isthmus
hardly confirms the stories with which
the senate committee on the canal has
been feeding the American people.
Costa Rica and Nicaragua can be
easily Americanized and are immense
ly fertile, with population most ia
vorably disposed toward the United
States; Panama is a barren waste
with turbulent population that has
manifest on more than one occasion
its hostility toward this republic
That is a new phase of the question
presented by Mr.. Deidrick-one that
is worthy of serious consideration.

President Roosevelt's refusal to
pardon a dying convict, that he may
depart this life free man, is causing
lots of comment at the peRitentiary.
The governors Of Ohio have been very
humane in this regard and when it is
seen that a man is dying with con-
sumption and has friends he is allowed
to go home and die there. The poor
devil can never commit another crime
and 1t is not a menace to society 70
turn him loose. But President Roose-
welt has set precedent. II is not bs

who usually have big hearts, will fol-

When wage worker, wealth pro-
ducer realizes fully that the interests
of the wage workers are directly op-
posed to the interests of the capitalis-
tic and exploiting class, he then be-
comes what is termed class conscious,
and realizes the fact that his eman-
cipation can only be achieved by the
emancipation of his class as a whole.
And as the struggle Is world wide,
hence the International Socialist move-
ment. Having reached that point in
his mind. he unites with his class on
the political field to conquer the pow
ers Of government for the purpose OF
abolishing the classes. and to begin
the era Of industrial freedom that shall
abolish all enforced poverty and idle
ness. and give TO labor its full pro-
duct. When that time comes, the
labor problem will be settled -becanse

FAIR ELECTIONS.

There Is no disposition on the part
OF the republicans to take any illegal
advantage Of the democrats In the
matter Of suppressing frauds at cleo
tons. Both political parties are vital
~ interested and should work har-
moniously together to secure fair cleo
tlons. During the past twenty years
the republicans Of this city have had
much trouble In preventing illegal at
tempts on the part OF the democrats
stufiing the ballot boxes. In 1882 they
cast over 1.2O0 illegal votes at one vot.
ing precinct in this city. Ever since,
they have tried to steal the elections.

Philippine CASUALTIES.

Major Parker's full report on the
casualties In the Philippines contains
some interesting figures. He gives the
number of deaths from action In the
field and from disease. and the number
OF wounded. The total OF killed And
wounded Is 4.470 the total Of deaths
from disease IL A officers and 2,536
enlisted men.
The total number of officers and men
engaged In the Philippines was about
1000 and the average number there
at one time was about 10000. Major
Parker figures that the proportion OF
killed and wounded to the strength OF
the army was 81 per cent.
The comparatively small number OF
deaths from disease speaks volumes
for the sanitation of the Americans
and also for their physical condition.
