BUILD NEW BRIDGE
OVER HOOD RIVER

The long wooden trestle and bridge
on the line of the o. r. & N crossing
the Hood river in Oregon will soon be
no more. A new steel structure is in
course of construction, which when fin
ished will eliminate the dangerous
curve at that place. The new bridge
will be built below the present one at
an angle that will allow. of an almost
straight track from the station across
the river
The trestle has been the scene of
many accidents and cause of much de-
lay and trouble to trainmen, as it can
not be seen when approaching from the
east until they are on the edge of the
bridge. What is now trestle, it is said,

HE PAYS FOR STOLEN GRAIN
Is TraiIed by Davenport Farmer and
Makes a Confession,

DAVENPORT, Sept. 12.-When
James Griswold, who has a ranch a
few miles north of town, went to the
field to haul grain Friday morning he
discovered that some one had been in
the field the night before and had stol-
en- some wheat He noticed a pecul-
iarity of one of the horses tracks and
Immediately started in pursuit of the
thief, whom he could easily track. The
culprit doubled on his trail several
times in order to throw a pursuer off
the track, but Mr.. Griswold tracked
him about twenty miles northwest of
Davenport into the breaks of the Co
lumbia river before he overhauled him.
The man confessed to the theft and
paid Mr. Griswold for the wheat. Girls
void could not persuade the fellow to
give his name 1t took all the money
he had to pay for the wheat, and he
let him go.

WOODEN-LEGGED GIRL
BRINGS HUSBAND WOE

PITTSBURG, Sept. 12.-Is a per-
sons wooden leg part of that person?
does man who marries a girl with a
wooden leg take said wooden limb for
better or worse
This pair of questions will be an
swered by the courts of Allegheny
county as the result of an appeal which
has just been taken from the decision
of an alderman here.
DR.. Clarence Gukert, a Pittsburg
dentist has been sued by DR.. r. H.
NJ. Mckenzie for the recovery of 500,
the price of a wooden limb furnished
some years ago to a young woman who
has since become Mrs. Gukert. The
suit was brought before Alderman
Charles Anderson and the hearing was
quite interesting though it was not
made public at the time.
Former City Attorney Stephen Port
er of Allegheny appeared for the de-
PENDANT, and the ground was taken that
DIR. Gukert did not marry that wooden
leg; that the wooden limb was really
not part of the new Mrs Gukert. nor
had it ever been, and that it was no
more part of her than waS her glove
or finger ring.
DR.. McKenzies side of the argument
was that the husband was responsible
for the bills of his wife; that when a
man marries he is supposed to assume
all Indebtedness of his wife. The ar
gument was advanced that in case of
his wife's death the husband would
fall heir to her property.
Alderman Anderson decided the case
against Gukert, holding that he should
pay for the wooden limb of his wife.
So Gukert appealed.

are interested in the project of boring
for oil in the Kittitas valley. About
two miles south of Ellensburg the drill

Large Crop viii be Grown in
Aanchuria This Year.
JAPANESE CONSUL MAKES STATEMENT
SAYS 1T MEANS PACIFIC COAST
PRODUCT WILL BE CUT
OFF,

SEATTLE, Sept. 12.-"Next fall ia
pan will grow a large crop of wheat In
Manchuria, and it will be merely a
matter of few years when she will
be able to produce there all the wheat
necessary for home consumption, and
Washington and the Pacific coast will
consequently lose their trade with
Japan"
Saburo Hisamidzu, japanese consul
at Seattle, made the above statement
yesterday when an article which re-
Gently appeared in the Omaha World
Herald was referred to him. The ar
ticle is to the effect that the Japanese
consul at Chicago had gone to the Da-
kotas at the request of his government
of Dakota wheat flour instead of the
Pacific coast product. Consul Hisam-
idzu was asked if he had received any
official notice of any such plans.
Il have never heard so much as a
rumor of any such plan, and 1 have
never heard that our people are not
satisfied with Washington wheat flour.
Furthermore 1 do not believe our peo-
pie can afford to pay so high a price
as the Dakota wheat flour is quoted at.
1t is for the purpose of getting wheat
at a lower cost that the japanese
government is encouraging it's culture
in Manchuria. There will be no big
cost of transportation, as Manchuria
is SO near Japan, and labor is much
cheaper in our country"
r. c. Hasson, manager of the Cen
tennial Mill company, also predicts
that Japan will soon be growing her
own wheat in Manchuria.
No Such Intention.
CAS- to Japan buying her wheat flour
in the Dakotas," he said, Il do not
believe she has any such intention
! Dakota wheat is of a higher grade
and more expensive. To this would
be added the extra cost of shipping
from Dakota to Seattle 1t do not be-
lieve the Japanese are able to pay
such prices at present.
However, if they are bound to have
flour made of Dakota wheat, 1 believe
we could furnish them with the article
as cheap as the Eastern milling con-
Germs could; that is, if the railroad:
would carry wheat from Dakota t
Seattle at a reasonable figure. I thinl
we can mill wheat as cheaply here a:
anywhere.
However, if the Japanese star
growing their own wheat in Manchur'
ia, as 1 am sure they will, expectation
of American wheat to Japan will be
thing of the past"
