Bay Bridge Assured.
Spee:al to Tho journal.
Excelsior, Mimi, Jan. 20.-A good steel
bridge will replace the unsafe wooden
structure that crosses the neck Of st.
Alban's bay. The special election held
yesterday for the purpose of deciding
whether the village should bond itself for
$4,000 and purchase the town hall from
the township decided also the question of
the new bridge. The election went almost
unanimously in favor of bonding the vii
1age, there being eighty votes in favor and
only three against.
Some time ago the county commission
ers promised to construct a steel bridge
across the neck if the village or township
would secure a four-rod roadway thru pri-
waite land leading to the bridge. The town
ship agreed to secure this right Of way II
1t could sell its hall. The council then
called special election to secure funds
For the purchase Of the hall Preliminary
'steps had been taken by residents of the
township towards securing the right of
way. A petition had been circulated, as
required by law, and the necessary num-
Der Of names Of property owners near the
bridge had been obtained. and now the
process OF condemning and acquiring the
land will go on rapidly, SO that the bridge
may be put in as early as possible.

Wood business block was begun this week.
The building will be ready by the first of

JAIL TERMS HANG
OYER BEEF TRUST
Packers Must Dissolve Combine
or Go to Cells for Con-
il" tempt.
New York sun Special Service.

New Xork Sun Special Service.
Washington, Jan. 2O.-If the ex-
pected decision from the supreme court
sustaining Judge Grosscup's injunction
by a dissolution of the combine, the
packers will be prosecuted, and it
necessary, sent to jail for contempt of
court. This decision was reached at a
conference United States District At
torney Bethea Of Chicago had with At
torney General Moody today.
The department of justice has ample
evidence to prove that the packers have
not given pretense Of complying with
the injunction. They have continued
their old methods, by which they fixed
the buying and selling prices Of meats,
openly and fagrantly in the face Of
both the general law and Judge Gross
cups order.
It is believed that If the packers
should be hauled into court on the evil
dence which has been gathered by Mr..
Moody's Investigators, Judge Grosscup
would fine them heavily and probably
send some of them to jail, especially if
the government should ask that the ex-
treme penalty be enforced.
Mr.. Moody realizes that the packers
may have some show of an excuse for
failing to comply with the injunction
until their appeal has been decided, and
he is inclined to give them a chance
to obey the law. But there must be no
unnecessary delay, nor will any half
way reformation be accepted. The
trust must be dissolved, not technically,
but actually, and at once, and every
method and agreement by which 1t has
controlled the markets must be aban-
doned. Actual competition must pre-
vail In the purchase Of stock and the
sale Of meats. Mr.. Moody will be sat
listed with nothing less than that, and
If the change does not come quickly,
relentless prosecutions will be institut-
ed against the packers.

To Encourage Good Seed.
tThe farmers, grain dealers, millers
and legislatures, should help the farmers

have these varieties for sale should have
net profit to encourage growers to pro

the too rapid introduction Of durum or

quality up all the time and working on
