Bridge Contract Lei.
Teacher.

Erickson & Peterson have received
the contract for the construction of
the big railroad bridge that will span
the Clearwater river at Lewiston and
today the contractors VIII establish
the camp for the accommodation of
the force that will be engaged in the
work. The mixers, holsters and other
equipment to be used in building the
concrete piers are now en- route from
San Francisco and will arrive here in
a few days. 1t will be the plan of the
contractors to crowd the work for
ward as rapidly as possible and while
the force at the outset will be small
the crew will be increased steadily as
opportunity is afforded to increase the
scope of the work
Engineer Brandon stated yesterday
that the point selected for the con-
struction camp is at the lower end of
the Holbrook island. The land at that
point is high, so that in the event of
a freshet in the river no Inconvenience
will result to the camp. The pier
work can be very conveniently carried
on during the fall and winter months
when the river is extremely low and
the contractors will take advantage of
this season to hurry the work as much
as possible. The bridge will be about
1000 feet in length and will cost $780,
000.-Lewiston Tribune.

Baker Wants a MooIen Mill.

There is a movement now on foot
by the enterprising citizens of Baker
City to secure Il wooden mill for this
place. 1t is argued that with mill
here nearly all the wool raised in the
country here could be manufactured
at home, increasing the price to the
woolgrower and permitting a profit to
the owners of the mill.
This movement has been taken up
by number of our citizens and an
effort will be made to secure such an
industry for Baker City if such a
thing is possible. 1t is announced
from reliable sources that already a
proposition has been made to put in
mill here if the right kind of induce
ments can be secured.-Baker City

contract were not paid, many were
partly paid. ana some few were paid in
full; but taken altoge ther, Mr.. Hunt
received but little more than half the
total amounts pledged in his contracts.
The legality of the subsidy contracts
has been questioned by good attor-
neys for years. but finally last week in
Walla Walla Mr.. Hunt began suit
against two of the largest contracts in
that city, and won the case in the dis
trict court.
While new hearing has been de-
MED in the district court, the case will
be carried to the supreme court of the
state where there is now every evil
dence that the finding of the district
court will be upheld.
Mr.. Hunt will now begin suit against
every contract that remains unpaid in
whole or in part. The total amount of
unpaid contracts will amount to $25.-

aTHE ROAD TO HE'LL
Stormy Jordan Put That Sign Over His
GROCERY Door.


Stormy Jordan, whose spectacular
career as a saloon keeper won him a
national reputation, is dead at his home
in ottumwa, la.
Jordan was a man of strong charae.
ter and marked eecentrcities, strictly
honest and generous to fault. These
ualities made him locally famous, but
it was his successful definance of the
prohibition law of Iowa that gave him
his great notoriety.
Jordan's given name was Kinsley,
but the nickname stormy was the
one by which he was always known.
Jordan came to Ottumwa nj 1860.
After working some time in the pack
ing house here he opened a little sa-
loon in a basement ON South Vine street.
and over the door of this he placed a
sign which read THE Road to Hell. .
Many a man who went into "Stor-
my's" dingy little barroom and called
for the best in the house, was sur
prised when Jordan quietly placed
glass Of water on the bar in front Of
him.
1t was in this little room that John
i. Sullivan met Stormy Sullivan
called for a cigar. Jordan placed a box
before him, and when Sullivan asked
the price "Stormy" in nus usual eruff
voice said: "A dollar apiece" lay
ing down $50 gold piece, Sullivan
said: I'm take the box and walked
out.
Several years later Jordan built the
Corn Exchange saloon, the finest in the
city. and was running it when the pro-
hibition law went into effect ON July
4, 1854. A brewery in Lawrence, XVI.
brought suit in the United States court
against the state for damages. and
Judge John Gibbons Of hCicago, then
residing in Keokuk, acting for Jordan,
advised him !. do likewise. Suit was
accordingly brought before Judge Love
in the United States court in Keokuk.
Despite the efforts Of the state officers
here TO close Jordan's saloon he was
permitted to run it until the suit was
decided. In this way he was enabled
to conduct the only saloon in Iowa.
which he did until short time before
the prohibition law was repealed. as
the case brought in the United States
court was appealed to the supreme
court, and many years passed before it
was decided against him. D:iring his
residence in Ottumwa Jordan served
three terms as city councilman. He
was IS years old and leaves widow
and seven children, ottumwa, H., cor

DOING AZ SPLENDID WORK.

The Vermont State Board Of Health
IL keeping abreast with the national
movement toward better sanitation and
hygiene, and that fact is intensely graft
flying to the people Of the state, at least
to those who have any thought on the
subject. Developments during the past
few years have shown that the board
is fully alive to the situation, and the
results in many cases have been great
compensation. A powerful agency toward
the improvements in sanitation and hy-
giene is the school for health officers
instituted in 1890 BY the state board.
1t has been continued each year since
then, and with what good is stated
by the board in letter to this paper,
as follows
The attendance has materially in
creased from year to year, and the de-
gree Of interest manifested by those in
attendance, has increased many fold,
until now they are considered, by those
who have attended them, the most
profitable medical meetings for the pro.
fession, ever held in the state, The
average medical man knows little, and
cares less, about sanitation. The meet
ings, while primarily intended for the
instruction of health officers, are so
conducted and participated in by mem
bcrs Of other professions and interested
laymen, and an attempt is made, as
far as possible, to have all addresses,
papers and discussions devoid Of techni-
calities, the better to interest and in
struct tile general public, and people
should avail themselves Of this valuable
source Of information. The meetings
are open and free to everybody, and
the general public is invited to attend.
The meeting this year will be unusually
interesting. 1t will be held in the Ar
mory, the next building below the Van
Ness House, Main street, Burlington,
and will open Monday evening, June
10th, and sessions will be held morn

Caught Sleeping Whale.

On her last trip from Portland to San

in Monterey Bay, caught sleeping
whale across her bows. There was no
perceptible shock as the soft body OF
the leviathan doubled across the cut
water. The Despatch was making
about ten miles an hour at the time,
and the pressure Of the water was SO
great that the whale was not able to
liberate itself for some time. Finally
it managed to slide to one side and
thus escaped. Its presence did not seem
to retard the steamer, but it could be
plainly seen from the bow vainly trying
