ments interferes with the navigation
of the river. On that account the
railroad has decided to build a new
bridge. The abutment stands in the
middle of the river and it is difficult for
the boats to get up or down the river.
The abutment will therefore have to
be moved to one side. The road would
build lift bridge, but that is i'm
possible. The Valley Railroad passes
the Wheeling bridge is overhead. Then
the Nickel Plate bridge Is still further
up making three story traffic on the
river at that point. In reality it Is
four story traffic, since the river is
still below the Valley bridge. The
Wheeling cannot put in lift bridge
because it would interfere with tn,
Nickel Plate railroad. On that &C.
count 1t will have to build new
swing bridge with one short span and
one long one. The work will be start,
ed early next spring.
1t is understood that the Wheeling

500 new "battleships"-meaning big
steel cars-and 1000 of the regular
gondola steel cars. These are to be

Republicans Nominate a
Ticket.

Billings, Mont, Sept. S.-The Repub-
lican state convention today named
a full ticket.
The proceedings OF the convention
were delayed until late hour owing
to the failure of the platform commit
tee to report.
Great opposition developed to some
of the planks, especially to that on the
initiative referendum and to one re-
ferring to the importation of citizens
from Colorado by the state authorities,
both of which, however, were adopted.
The platform endorsed the Chicago
national enunciation as well as Roose-
welt and Fairbanks. Monopolistic
trusts are condemned and corporate
influence in politics is decried The
election of senator's by the direct vote
of the people is hailed as desider-
atum.
Representative Dixon was tonight
re-nominated by acclamation as was
Mr.. Lindsay for governor, former
Senator Mantle having withdrawn his
name.
