Settlers Cannot Afford to Pay $500
Per Car to the West.

An oregon man, formerly from the
east, who recently returned to scenes
of earlier years and brought out to
the Pacific coast about 30 old friends,

people to come to oregon to live.
Without hesitation, he replied:

1.-TWO hundred dollars-why, and

A. Kunkel, who has conducted one
of the largest farming implement es-
Establishments in this city for the past
five years, will dispose of his business
and go to Spokane, where he has al
ready leased residence property and
where his family will go for the open

the city until January I, making the
transfer of his property and closing
up his business here.
While Mr.. Kunkel has been highly
successful in his line and has built up
an immense trade in the implement
business, he has decided to deote his
time to one speciality of goods, the
Geiser manufactures, including thresh-

there is wide field in the district
adjacent to Spokane for a diversified
line and this Is his only reason for

AT last after several weeks of care
full consideration the county commits
sioners have decided upon what to do
in the way of repairs to the bridge
across the Umatilla at Echo, which
was partly washed out by the flood
To make a 75-foot fill at the west
end of the bridge and connect the
same with the trestle work by 60
foot steel span is now the plan of the
court. This work, together with some
changes in the channel which will be
necessary will cost the county about
$4,000. Within a day or two County
Judge Gilliland and Commissioner
Walker will go to Echo for the pur-
pose of viewing the bridge and max
ing arrangements for the immediate
commencement of work. 1t is not yet
decided whether to let the work by
contract, or have it done under the di-
rection of the road supervisor.
Was Hard Problenf
| The proposition of repairing the
Echo bridge was the hardest of those
placed up to the county court as a re-
suit of the floods. At the west ap-
proach to the bridge there is several
hundred feet of trestle, and during
the flood the water washed away part
of this and cut into the west bank,
thereby endangering some valuable
land.
Recently the citizens of Echo petit
toned to have a 400-foot fill made to
replace all the trestle work. However,
Judge Gilliland says the court was
afraid such fill would not withstand
the current in high water, and SO 1t
was decided to make the 75-foot fill
at present, leaving the trestle for the
remainder of the distance. The fill
will be rip-rapped and at the outer
end will connect with a steel span
The steel pier for the span will be set
against the end of the fill, thus forrn-
ing a bulkhead which should be suf-
ficient to stand any possible current.
By the plan adopted Judge Gilliland
says the current will be stopped from
further damage to the west bank, and
/ later the fill may be continued out to
the bridge proper, If found desirable.
1t is said the people of Echo are
agreeable to the repairs as now plaa-
ned.
