new BRIDGE PLANNED
O. r. & N. ContempIates Big Improves
ments in Spring.

PENDLETON, Nov. 1.-THE bridge
and building department Of the 0. r.
& N. is one of the busiest departments
in the system and vast amount Of
work is directed from the neadquar-
tiers in this city.
At the present time three immense
new steel bridges for the Umatilla riv-
err at Umatilla Junction, for the John
Day at the crossing of that river,
and for the Des Chutes river west Of
Arlington. are now being con-
structed in the steel mills in the east
and these will be put in place early
next spring.
The present bridges over these
streams have been among the best on
the system, but have been outgrown
by the heavier steel rails and the
heavier engines brought to the o.
r. & n.
Aside from putting in these bridges
on the main line next spring prepara-
tions are now completed to replace
all the wooden structures on the
Snake river cutoff from Wallula to
Grange City with new steel bridges.
and to replace the last few wooden
bridges on Burnt river with steel.

Much for Farmers,

ogden. Nov. eat meeting held IN
t,,n,sville last night, which was at
tended by about 80 of the leading eitl-
zsns. a. vigorous protest was entered
against the granting OF the petition OF
the IItah Light & Railway company for
the changing Of the county road at the
head of the Ogden canyon, TO make
way for the proposed large storage re-
seryolr II was the sense of the meet
ing that the Power company did not
mean business, and petitions were
drafted which will be circulated
,brouehout the Ogden valley, after
which they will be presented to the
connty commissioners by a committee
NJ four, which was appointed at the
meeting, Another delegation was
named TO represent the representatives.
N the meeting at the mass meeting
10 be held IN ogden on Saturday next.
In the meantime petitions are also be-
ire circulated by those who favor the
proiect, and the mass meeting on Satur-
day promises to be an interesting az
fair.
II is claimed by these who oppose the
building OF the dam that the condition
for the people residing In the Ogden
cauyon and a greater portion of the
CITY Of ogden would be practically the
same as that Of the residents of Johns
town. Pa, prior to the memorable flood,
which almost wiped that city from the
map. They assert that bed rock can
not be found at the point where 1t II
proposed to build the dam and for this
reason the dam would be unsafe. They
also maintain that the loss to the resi-
dents of the valley would be far greater
than the benefits to be derived from the
same. to say nothing of the unsanltary
condition that they claim follow with
the penning up of the large amount OF
water,
on the other hand It IL claimed that
the construction Of the dam would be
the biggest thing for Weber county that
could happen at this time and that no
proposition since the construction of
the pipe line through Ogden canyon
means so much for Ogden City and We
her county as this. Not only does Il
mean that every acre of the barren
waste In the county can be reclaimed,
but that there will be plenty of water
for all power purposes, for many years
to come. II Is claimed that the outlay,
# the dam Is built viii reach about
half a million dollars. The board Of
county commissioners has virtually APP
proved the scheme, but did not desire
to officially sanction 1t until they heard
the sentiment of the people. who after
all must decide whether or not the pro-
iect shall go through II the objection
Is sufficient 20 warrant a refusal of the
petition asked for, II Is quite likely that
the power company VIII go to the snake
river in Idaho for their power and
abandon the irrigation plan for the Salt
Lake valley IN Weber county.
