two bicycle paths, each seven feet
wide; two roadways, each twenty feet
wide: four trolley tracks and tive ele-
waited railway tracks. The odd bTidge
has one foOtwalk fifteen feet wide, two
roadways, each eighteen feet wide, half
of which space is used by trolley
tracks, and two elevated railway
tracks.
In actual channel span the two
bridges do not present a great differ
ence, merely a matter of four and a
half feet, but in total length the new
structure holds the record by 1000
feet The channel span of the Brooklyn
bridge IL 1851 feet and its total
length 5000 feet. The figures Of the
new bridge are respectively 1000 feet
channel span and 1900 feet total
length.
The steel towers of the new bridge
are about fifty feet taller than the ma
sonry spires of the Brooklyn bridge,
the cap of the steel work above high
water being 335 feet. Similar meas
urements ON the old bridge give a
height Of 276 feet. The minimum
height of the new bridge for 200 feet
on either side of the center above mean
high water of spring tides is 1876 feet
The old structure has the same height
but only at the central point.
In the arrangement of the trolley
tracks alone the increased facilities are
clearly shown. With four trolley tracks
running in a space for their exclusive
use they afford capacity of at least
$50 cars an hour, carrying 10000 per-
sons against 10000 on the old bridge.
In addition the arrangements for han
ding the elevated railroad traffic pro-
persons, thus making the maximum ca
pacity of the new bridge 12S,OOO pas
sengers an hour In case of emergency.
The timber used in the construction
OF the new bridge amounted to $500
COO feet, mainly for false work" and
temporary footbridges. The excavating
equaled $4,000 cubic yards or con-
crete masonry there are 10000 cubic
yards and Of stone masonry 10000 Gu
bic yards. The steel used amounted to
10000 tons.
Leffert Lefferts Buck, the chief engi-
neer Of the great work, is a native OF
Canton. N. Y. and during his sixty-six
years OF life has been connected with
many great engineering works. He de-
signed and was the engineer of two
steel arch bridges at Niagara Falls, the
Columbia river bridge at Pasco, Wash,
for the Northern Pacific railway; the
yerugas bridge, Peru, and many other
notable structures. Mr.. Buck is a vet
eran of the civil war, serving from 1861
to 1885 In the Sixtieth New York volun.

THE MIGHTY
STEEL span
New Suspension Bridge Across
the East River in
New York

The formal opening OF the new sus-
pension bridge across the Eat river
Dec. 10 marks the practical compile
ton Of the second of the four links OF
steel that eventually will connect the
ISLAND of Manhattan with the boroughs
Of Brooklyn and Queens, situated on
Long Island, and all component parts
Of the great city of New York.
The new bridge, known as the VIII
liamsburg bridge, is one OF the most re-
markable structures of its kind in the
world. As suspension bridge 1t stands
unrivaled, and as an engineering feat
only one bridge can approach Tits
near neighbor, the Brooklyn bridge,
which has now lost its distinctiveness.
The completion of its far greater rival
has robbed the old structure of much or
its glory. but the old structure Is still
the more beautiful Of the two.
The greatest contrast between the
two lies In their relative strength.
Roughly, the Williamsburg bridge Is
four times as strong as the older struc-
ture. Each of its four cables is eight
cen inches in diameter, six inches great
or than those In the old bridge, each OF
the cables containing 10,399 No. steel
wires. The breaking strength OF each
cable is 25. 900 tons, and their combined
weight and fittings Is 5000 tons. The
actual dead load which they carry Is
5000 tons, and they are calculated to
carry a moving weight Of $500 tons.
The engineers estimate that the sus-
pension power Of the bridge Is four
times greater than the maximum de
rnand that will be made upon 1t.
The width OF the new structure Is 1lS
feet AS compared with the eighty five
feet OF the Brooklyn bridge, and the
character and amount Of its traffic
will be proportionately greater. 1t has
two decks instead Of one, two foot
walks. each ten and a half feet wide:

Miss De Yaux no longer talked to

battle ground.
Colonel Steptoe left walla walla

On the 18th when approaching the
Spokane country they were surprised
and surrounded by a force Of Indians
estimated at from 600 to 1000. The
Indians were Palouses, Occur
d'Alenes, Yakimas and Spokanes.
A desperate hattie took place on
the 18th on the butte which was
afterwards named Steptoe for the
commanding colonel. Captain Oliver
H. p. Taylor and Lieutenant Will
liam CASTOR were among the killed
In the night Colonel Steptoe and his
men escaped and made their way to
Walla Walla.
In the following August the United
States troops defeated the Indians
near Medical Lake.
