ENGINEER WARNED wORKMEN
TO KEEP OFF THE BRIDGE

New York, Sept. 2.-Theodore Cop
per, of this city, who has been the con-
sulting engineer In charge OF the
work on the huge cantilever bridge
across the st. Lawrence river. which
collapsed Thursday evening. feels
keenly the accident that cost the lives
of seventy-nine working men.
In statement made to reporter
he reproached himself for not having
visited the works in two years though
Ill health has kept him here and he
tried to obtain his release from the
responsibility OF the position for that
reason. Mr.. Cooper also made the
statement that on Thursday morning.
after his inspector had come to see
him and told him that things did not
look well for the bridge, he had sent
telegram to the men In charge OF the
work to get of the bridge and stay on
1t until 1t could be examined
Mr.. Cooper has not been notified
whether or not the warning was too
late.
"Of course we believed that the
bridge as planned was absolutely
safe" Mr.. Cooper said. Though In
dealing with even an old type OF work
on a hitherto unparalleled scale, new
and unexpected problems now and
then arise. One cannot prophesy with
infallibility about something that is
absolutely new. / cannot tell what Is
coming out Of this, maybe we shall
learn about things we have never
known before"
Mr.. Cooper is one of the most dis
tinguished engineers in this country,
as well as one of the most experienced.
He Is 6S years old. He was associated
with James B. Eads In construction Of
the st. Louis bridge over the Mississip-
pi river He has been long considered
bridge expert in the United States.

TWO JUNIORS ON VACATION
ARE HELPING THE POOR

Two juniors in one of the Kan
sas City, Missouri, Medical colleges,
have built up a vacation prac-
tice. in visiting persons too poor to
employ physicians and too i'll to go
to free dispensary. The summers ex-
periences have proved valuable.
I'VE get experience this way that
we never could find in the hospitals
and Clinics" said one. We've built
up practice, just aas systematically
as any physician, only we don't charge
our patrons for our services. Our prac-
tice is larger now than the average
doctor's-$350 a month IL we were
paid for it. Our patients told their
friends about US, and the Associated
Charities sent us cases until we are
calls. That was little more than we
bargained for, but it's all in the game.
When school opens again we will have
to cut down our calling list. Sometimes
our patients offer to pay our car fare.
One wished to name her baby for me.
There's amusement, too, In the
work. The old woman who calls us
two or three times week Is chronic
wilmer. We know there is nothing the
matter with her. but it's interesting to
hear many complaints. The last time
was there it was, heart trouble.
MANY of our patients live in Nc
Clue flats, Belvedere hollow and the
Patch. Physicians with a good paying
practice can't spare the time to treat
our people. When we find a case that
we can't diagnose we call on the pro-
fessor of the college. We found small
pox case once-only we got away be-
fore the wagon came.

left the Greeks badly in the hole, and
the only way they could get out was
to have the new year begin September

to save in September what we save

FIX SALES DAYS FOR WHEAT
Pend|eton and Athena TO Adopt
New System

President Charles A. Barrett of the
Inland Empire Wheatgrowers' asso-
citation, announces that a meeting of
the executive committee of that as
sociation will be held for the
purpose of definitely deciding upon
the matter of holding wheat sales
days in Pendleton and Athena during
harvest this season, says the East
Oregonian.
large percentage of the leading
farmers of the country are now men,
bers of the association, and as they
have enjoyed practical benefits from
the association in securing cheap
sacks this year, it is the sentiment
that further benefits should be en-
joyed by organizing and strictly OBJ
serving wheat sales days.
While the dates of the sales nor the
places of holding them have not yet
been decided upon. yet it is almost
certain that dates and places will be
fixed, and if this is done it is believed
that practically every farmer belong
ing to the association will hold his
wheat for the public sales.
Another shipment of $4,000 sacks
was received by the association
this making a total of over 400
600 which have been delivered to the
members of the association this sea-
son. A saving of almost one cent each
~ hxy hn -,
purchasing sacks in bulk. and the
farmers belonging to the organiza ton
highly appreciate this benefit While
farmers not in the organization are
said that sacks ordered through the
association have been delivered at lit
tie oven nine cents each.
This saving has increased the faith
of the farmers in the association, and
it is now stronger and better organized
than ever before. 1t is hoped that
farmers not now belonging will be-
come members this season and make
it strong enough to supply sacks for
the entire county next year, at great
ly reduced prices.
President Barrett in speaking of
the prospects for good wheat prices
said to the East Oregonian that
he believes that the new wheat crop
will start at IS cents per bushel ami
that it will not go below that price
The market outlook is EXCEPTIONAL
ly good and the farmers are disposed
, to hold for the sales days. The wheat
good quality and will bring top prices
anywhere and everything points to a
most prosperous year for the farmers.

Lake Walker is in the Piute In
dian country" said Mr.. Buckley, land
it is matter of history among the
red men that for years none of the
tribes have ever ventured upon its
waters through fear of a monster fish
that is charged with the destruction
at some early day of a large hunting
party of Piutes. The white people
have launches on the lake, but an
Indian wouldn't venture on it in an
ocean steamer"
4 am too busy now said Captain
Peterson, but as soon as l get time
I am going after that fish. He is %
feet long, and if we can harness him
and get him to working right we can
save transportation by making him

There is the finest kind of fishing
in Lake Walker, black bass and

we have located across the lake."
Mr.. Buckley says that Capt. Peter
