PIERRE RAILROAD BRIDGE.

The layman can have but little or no
real understanding of what the con
struction of a great structure like the
steel bridge across the Missouri at
Pierre involves. Preliminary work has
been in progress for almost a year,
stupendous quantities of material and
machinery have been accumulated, but
SO much remains to be done that Sup
intendent Lane says he can give no APP
Proclamation of the time when real con-
struction will be undertaken. More
lumber than the combined stocks of all
the lumber yards in Pierre is piled up
to be sunk into the bottom of the Mis-
souri,, never to be seen again, yet this
is but an incident of the work, not a
real portion of the construction, but
simply Incidental to it, like the scat
folding used in building a house.
The original plans contemplated the
building of eight caissons, but it has
been determined that the first and last
located upon the first bench at each
side, will be unnecessary, and that or
binary masonry upon deep foundations
of concrete will answer there, so that
the first caissons will be located at the
waters edge on either bank.
A feature of the work which the
layman would not have anticipated is
the erection of a large numberor com
modious building in connection there
with for offices, shops, e.c. Quite a
village has grown up about the Pierre
approach, equipped with gas and city
water.
A hint of the method pursued in
building a caisson down to bed rock
may be of interest. At this point the
average depth to bed rock shale is 65
feet and the solid masonry must rest
upon this natural foundation The main
caissons are "a by Sc feet in size, and a
tremendous box of Ems size is built of
heavy timbers sanding upon end and
bound togethei with heavy exterior
planking. This box is decked over
with several tllicknesses of heavy tim
bers. Through this deck are two man
holes in the 70 rm of s~tandpipes Of heavy
boiler steel. The box is built at the
point where the caisson is to be sunk.
It's walls are two feet thick, but the
lower edges taper to a cutting edge
shod with heavy steel.
One Of the man holes is provided
with ladders for the use of the work
men, while through the other the air
pumps and the pumps through which
the excavated material is wasted are
operated. Twenty-four men constitute
4 paddlingg shift who work under this
box and with hydraulic hose puddle
out the earth and silt constituting the
bed of the river, and the material is
pumped out and wasted in the river.
AS this process goes on, the box con
stantly sinks and masonry is built up

on the top as it goes down. When bed
rock is reached, the box is filled with
cement and concrete and left as the
permanent foundation Of the pier, At
each pier, in addition to the main Gals
son, another almost as heavy must be
sunk to support the ice fender. When
construction actually begins, a year
will be required to complete the bridge
with a force of about 200 men. At
present a large force is engaged in the
preliminary work, erecting buildings
and framing the timbers for the Gals
sons.-Pierre Dakotan.

There the Innkeeper Is Not Forgot

If you hotelkeepers should ever be

anese hotel you give the proprietor the
biggest tip of all when leaving and
grade the other tips accordingly.
when your bill is handed to you it
is customary to wrap up in a separate
piece of paper an amount approximate
ing about one-fifth of the whole account
and give that to the worthy innkeeper.

CURED of you by his account, which you
indorse in the folded bill Then you
wrap up smaller sums in smaller pieces
of paper and parcel these Christmas
packages out among the servants who
have waited on you.
This tip to the boniface is called
chodal, or tea money, and the Japanese
explain its usage after this manner of
reasoning:
"All hotel charges in Japan are forced
by law to be very low, 50 that even the
very poor man who finds himself on
the road of nights can get food and
shelter for nominal sum. The rich
man has TO pay no more than the beg
gar.
"Since the hotel man could not make
living if this order Of things were al
lowed to exist, without some saving
grace, some recompense must be made
to the hotelkeeper for his enforced gen
erosity. Therefore, it is argued, if a
guest can we'll afford to give the host
something more than he asks he not
only provides for those less fortunate
than himself but he tends himself
against the evil day when he may have
| to ask a beggar's board and bed. 1t is
not charity to the innkeeper. but mere
" wise provision against possible hard
times.
but If man whom the worthy host
believes to be able to afford a generous
chodal leaves the hotel without paying

ever return to that hOstelry again. He
will get last chance at the communal
bathtub, will get the most drafty room
In the house, and In a hundred ways
