The work of painting the steel bridge
across the Willamette river has been
completed and that thoroughfare now
looks very handsome and respectable
as consequence. The counties
interested got thorough piece Of
work, there being not an inch of the
steel work on the bridge that has not
received a good coat of paint. The
wooden railings have been painted
white and this with the red of the steel
work makes the structure 'loom up"
in fine style.-Salem Statesman.

valuable one. l. is an invocation of rotary dredge or ditching machine to be operated with naphtha or gaso- line. The patent is yet to be obtained.
 Those who are familiar with dredges believe that this will revolutiOnize their manufacture by reason not only of what can be accomplished with it but also on account of the cheapness of its manufacture. It is thought that a dredge of the average size will cost not more than $500.
 The dredges can be made of any size for small or large ditches or for canals. It can be used in tOrtuous channels as we'll as in straight ones and one of them will accomplish the work Of fifty men. It is said by mem bers of the reclamation service that if the dredges were now on the market the government could immediately make use of not less than 100 of them.

 Is HOLDING UP WELL
A Disease Among Jack Rabbits Threatening Their Determination.

The hunters for the bounties on the scalps of wild animals made a strong run on the county treasury yesterday. The Wedgeworth brothers, who are doing more in that line than anybody else brought in seventeen wildcat skins which are worth 8 apiece. They had enough other skins of coyotes, rac- coons.etc. to bring their honOrarium To something more than Sl0O. They have drawn from the county altogeth- er in bounties more than S600.- most of il since September l. T. Granillo brought in a lot of coyote skins, one wildcat skin and fifty-two jack rab- bit ears.
 Hunters report that the jack rab- bit business is nearly done for this season. Things have turned out so that the will not be so much of a pest for several years as tl@ey have been of late. They are dying of a dis ease which has spread all over the val ley. The outward manifestation of it is a great lump on the jaw. The rab- bits are finally stricken very suddenly. one will be seen running at full speed when he will suddenly veer toward a ClUmp Of bushes and fall dead. Their

 This recalls that the human beings of the valley were afflicated last sum mer and fall with a peculiar disease which the physicians were unable to describe. IL was in no case fatal and in most cases not very troublesome. u was supposed to be of bubonic character and was first noticed in persons who had been engaged in skinning rabbits after the big drives that took place in various parts of the valley. on account of that fact it was at first thought that it might have been contracted from the rabbits. But several cases were found among persons who had not been in contact with rabbits.
