Bridges in Bad Condition.

bridges IN BAD NOnUIIIOHs
According to Mr.. Welsh. many of
the city's bridges are in a danger
GUS condition. The timbers in bridge
No. Z, on Thirtieth street, he claims,
are too thoroughly decayed to be
longer safe, and portions of the bank
supporting the auxiliary bent at the
east end are liable to give way at the
commencement of the rainy season.
On North E street bridge No. 2l
shoula be condemned or repaired at
once, the commissioner claims. The
entire structure is badly decayed,
some of the main posts being entirely
without footing and hanging by the
caps and braces.

Outlined against the sky, big Bryan
Moloney stood directing the work. He
knew by the tenseness of the log he
stood on that behind the jam power
had gathered sufficient to push the
whole tangle down stream. Now he
was offering it the chance.
Suddenly the six men below the Jam
scattered. Four of them Jumped light

BLACKMAN TO
TEST The LAW

OLYMPIA, May 3O.-A practical test
of the state eight-hour law is shortly to
be instituted by Labor Commissioners
William Blackman, who is now engaged in
collecting evidence to institute prosecu-
tions. Complaints have reached Mr.. Black
man against three street contractors in
Seattle, two in Tacoma and road con-
tractor in Snohomish county.
The law in question commits the state
policy of inserting an eight-hour clause in
day on all works OF public character
and further provides for the notification
OF any contract on which contractor vio-
hates the eight-hour law. 1t is made the
duty Of the authorities to declare the CON
tract forfeited in event of a violation.
In Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane the
boards of public works have adhered to a

law. The names of the contractors against

1t is not unlikely that the attempt to
enforce the law will result in litigation to
test its constitutonality.

liberty over tyranny masquerading as or

the triumph of both liberty and order, the
triumph of orderly liberty, the bestowal

at the same time the stern insistence on
the supremacy of the national law through
out the length and breadth of the land.
Moreover, this was one of those rare con
tests in which it was to the unreasonable
interest of the vanquished that they should
lose. while at the same time the victors
acquired the precious privilege of trans
mtting to those who came after them, as
heritage of honor forever, not only the
memory OF their own valiant deeds, but
the memory of the deeds of those who no
less valiantly and with equal sincerity
of purpose, fought against the stars in
their courses. The war left to us ALL as
