Charleston Bureau Evening Teller
CHARLESTON, Wash, Sept To-
The timber for the replanking of the
bridge mas been ordered and should
reach the city the latter part Of the
week." said Mr.. Kimball Of the Lew
eston- Charleston company to an Even
ing Teller representative this morning.
The intentions of the company are
to have the work completed before the
opening of the fall fair so as to do
away with any possible accidents
which might occur through improper
planking," continued Mr.. Kimball.
The travel across the bridge has
necessitated more thorough method
of repair work on the thoroughfare
half way by process known as the
conserve method, which instructs
that the planks be dipped in caustic
solution before being laid. Two lay
ers of planks will this season be laid.
The bottom layer will be sized and laid
bridge. while the top layer, which has
been dipped, will be laid at an angle
with the lower planking. The top
planks will be in two sections. con-
structed in such manner SO that a
portion of the plank may be removed
without disturbing the remaining Sec
ton.
Returns from Mexico.
DR.. L. A. Kerr. who has been In
Mexico for the past year in the en-
ploy Of Galpini & Co., opticians. re-
turned to the city the latter part of

DR.. Kerr states that the scare which
had been raised in the, lower part Of
Mexico by the poloughs or poems, the
lower class of people, relative to the
| driving of all residents of the United
States into the sea has materially
subsidized and will probably result in
the punishment of the agitators. Mo-
tees were posted in various parts of
the country warning all Americans to
vacate before the 10th of this month,
which is the national holiday, stating
that penalty Of being driven into the
sea awaited all those who refused to
obey The Mexican government is do
| ing all in it's power to quell the dis
turbance and has stationed troops
throughout the country for the pro-
lection of the foreigners.
All the saloons in the country have
been ordered closed between Septem-
Der IA and IS. The American people
have millions of dollars invested in
Mexican property and are soliciting
the aid of the government in the pro-
lection Of it.
Mr.. Kerr states that the Mexican
stores are all prejudiced against the
American because of his prosperous
manner.
