THE STEEL FOR 0. R. & n. BRIDGE
At RIPARIA

''The structural steel for the railroad
bridge. at Lewiston, is at Riparia and
orders have been given to have 1t un-
loaded there" said Capt. John z.
Atkins, Of the steamer Spokane, who IL

out of commission. 1.-The steel for
the bridge has been arriving for sew
erai weeks and there was an impress
sion that 1t would be sent to Lewis
ton over the Northern Pacific lines,
but for some reason there is a change
Of plans and a wrecking crane will be
brought up from Portland and the
steel unloaded there"
It was announced here some weeks
ago that the steel for the bridge the
enroute. in part from Pittsburg would
be shipped to Lewiston over the
Northern Pacific, and it was known
that partial arrangements were made
here for the storage of the material.
The bridge contractors made trip
to Lewiston and gave 1t out that they
would begin on the south end of the
OIiA6C as SOoti dS htC SkcSs dTTlV&u
and the fill on the south side could
be made. A change of the plan will
probably delay the work as the ship

by barges after the river rises or run

SPOKANE OUT
FOR REPAIRS

The steamer Spokane was damaged
by the storm at Riparia Sunday night
and had to go on the ways for repairs.
Both boats were tied up at Riparia
when the terrible wind and dust storm
struck them. Both were torn from
their moorings by the force of the
wind. The Spokane was swung
around and grounded on some rocks

far as the Evans place yesterday and
brought up a barge loaded with one
Of the steam shovels.
