TIDE LIFTS BRIDGE SPAN
PONTOON SYSTEM USED.
Kmgsbndge Drazc Successfully
Placed on F0rdkam Structure.

The huge draw of the Old Kingsbridge Bridge,
272 feet long and weighing eleven hundred tons,
was successfully floated down the Harlem River
yesterday afternoon and placed the middle
span of the new Fordham Bridge 207th street.
The bridge was fiOated down pontoons.
Operations began at low tide yesterday morn
ing, when four pOntoons towed up the
river and moored under the middle span on
each of the pontoons heavy timbers had been
built up twenty-five feet BY partially filling
the boats with water they had been lowered two
feet below their normal water line. AS as
the pontoons were in position the water was
pumped out Then the engineers waited for the
tide.
AT l2 80 p. III. the span began to rise, and
TWO hours later il was clear of its fastenings by
ten inches. Four tugboats. two in front and
two behind, then tied up TO the pontoons. and
amid a shrek of whistles and the cheers OF the
crowd on either bank the span began its jour
ney
The distance to the Fordham Bridge was
mile and a half and it took the span few
minutes over an hour TO reach il.
The engineers consider the moving extremely
s,,ccassful as the slightest slip might have
caused the span to fall into the river. Mr
Terry, Of Terry Tench, the engineers IN charge
nersonaly supervised the work.
Tho change was made necessary by the
rIan 70 run both elevated and surface cars over
+ba new Kingsbridge Bridge. This was tmpossi-
ble with the old span, as it had but one level
and a new double decked span has been con-
sfructed by Terry & Tench at their works at
o15th street and the Harlem River. This span
will be fnated .up the river this afternoon or
,o-,,oorrOEy morning.

GREAT TRADE WITH EUROPE.
Our Exports Passed the Bllion-DoIIar
Mark in 1905.

Washington, March 20. - Europe
takes two-thirds of the exports of the
United States and supplies practically
one-half of the imports, says bulletin
issued by the Department of Com
merce and Labor. Of the 81 ,02l ,0O0,-
900 worth of merchandise sent to Eu-
rope in 1905, $299, 900, 900 was manu-
factures, the other 1882. 200, 900 worth
being largely foodstuffs and manufac-
turers' material.
In 1900 the exports to Europe
crossed the $1,000, 900, 900 line, and
since then have averaged about 81 $780,
900, 900 per annum. In 1900 the ex-
ports to all sections OF the world other
than Europe were 1854, 1000, 900 in
value; in 1905 they we're $49S, S,000,-
600, the growth since 1900 in exports
to the non-European countries having
been proportionately greater than to
Europe.
Prior to 1890, the share of the i'm.
ports drawn from Europe averaged
about IS per cent; in 1905, it WIS 48.4
per cent. This reduction, the bulletin
says, is apparently accounted for by
the growing demand in the United
States for tropical and subtropical pro.
ducts, which are supplied almost ex-
clusively by the other grand divisions
of the world. The value of these pro.
ducts into the United States in 1905
was $50S, 900, 900, against 1903, ,O00,-
900 in 1895.

"Despite official and diplomatic de-
clarations at Toxic, we believe the,
Japanese consider the war unfinished,
and that they will seize occasion to
conquer the Amur region from Harbin

in Manchuria have been strengthened
rather than diminished, and officers
allow no one to visit headquarters.
Even Englishmen are excluded.
"TLe disorganized state Of the Rus

NEWS ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST
FROM THE STATE OF OREGON
FRUIT CANNERY FOR ALBANY.
Gardeners and Orchardists of Linn
County Take Stock.

Gardeners and Orchardists Of Linn
County Take Stock.
Albany-Active work looking to the
erection of cannery and packing plant
in Albany has begun by the gardeners
and fruitmen interested. The new
company will be known as ths Fruit
growers and Gardeners Co. Operative
association, and will be owned by the
men who sell their products to the CON-
pany or by citizens Of Albany. Stock
in the new company is selling under a
restriction that no one man could Sc
cure more than % per cent of the
stock.
Besides packing, preserving and can.
ming fruit and vegetables, the new con.
Germ will handle all kinds of produce,
acting as a kind of distributing point
where all produce for the local trade
can be secured at uniform price. In
this way all stores will be able to keep
up with the market, and the farmers
will have no trouble in disposing Of
their product.
The plan is to start with q cannery,
prune psckery and cider and vinegar
works. All of these industries have
been needed very much in Linn county,
because of the immense amount OF
small fruits and garden products grown
here, and because the county had no
such enterprises the development of
the fruit and gardening industry has
been much retarded.

WILL QUIT CANAL.

Shonts Will Give Entire Attention te
His Railroad.
Chicago, March ia Washington
special says:
Information from trustworthy sources
makes it seem practically assured thai
Theodore Perry Shonts, OF Chicago
chairman of the Isthmian Canal com.
mission, intends soon to send his resig.
nation to President Roosevelt. 1t il
unquestionabIy the intention of Presi.
dent Roosevelt to nominate John F.
Stevens, the chief engineer, to succeed
Mr.. Shonts. Mr.. Stevens will combine
the duties OF the two Offices.
Pressure from his associates on the
railroad with which Mr.. Shonts is con.
nected has been strong for some time ia
bring about this result-his return to
railroad work and his resignation from
the canal board. Mr.. Shonts had
withstood the pleas of his business as
sociates, but recent events have induced
him to consent.
Mr.. Shonts is still president of the
Glover Leaf railroad, and it is said that
the interests of that road, in the mind
of his colleagues, demand that he
return and take active charge of the
property. 1t is said he owns securi-
ties in the road to the value OF about
100000, and, in the interest of
these holdings, as we'll as the holdings
of others, it is declared that he feels he
must no longer divide time and his
labor.
There has been no secret that the re-
lations between Secretary Taft and
Chairman Shonts have been strained at
times. They are probably today not of
the most amicabls nature. 1t is prob.
able that Mr.. Taft will succeed to the
vacancy in the United States Supreme
court caused by the resignation OF Jus.
tice Brown, but will not take his seat
before next October. Mr.. Taft has his
own views about the canal work, which
are not in accord with those of Mr..
Shonts.
When Mr.. Taft goes to the Supreme
court, it is the intention of President
Roosevelt to turn the supervision of
the canal over to Secretary Roots de-
partment. The secretary of war de-
sires to arrange the construction plans
to suit his own judgment before the
transfer is made.

Great Falls, Mont, March II. - A
Tribune special from Kalispel reports
the loss of 5000 by the O'Brien Lum-
Der company at the hands of highway
men. John Peterson, a trusted en-
ploye, was carrying the money from
Kalispel to the works at T,mers, about
nine miles distant. Near the mill he
was stopped by three men. One held
the team, another held gun at Peter
cons head, and the other secured the
currency. The robbers were disguised, ,.
but are believed to the be men from
that locality.
