ONLY ONE SERIES
OF Games Between American and Ma
tional Leagues Likely in Spring.

From present indications there will
be only one series of games between
American and National League teams
next spring. 1t is 4 certainty that the
Highlanders and the Giants will not
clash and also a foregone conclusion
that the Cubs and the SoX will not
meet. To date the only series arranged
is between the Cardinals and Browns
of St. Louis.
The two Boston clubs will hardly
come together. as George Dewey. owner

Walker 1t has been found that lum-
Der will not suffice for bridge build
ing material except for flooring. Out
side of lumber the only material that
can be used for abutments is concrete
and steel. In many of the places con-
crete is expensive to use for various
reasons. Consequently the court is
now figuring on steel legs for use as
abutments and If found cheap enough
such VIII be used in the future.
AT the present high price of lum-
Der, steel may be used at almost the
same cost as lumber according to the
commissioners, and It has many ad-
vantages over the old material
One advantage in the use of steel is
that the bridge material comes in
such shape that 1t may be easily put.
together, whereas the use of concrete
involves much trouble.
The county is-preparing to construct
the approach to the bridge above the
hospital some time next week. When
the work is started 1t will be neces-
sary to close the bridge to traffic for
a few days.

hold him, which l did, and I am now

not grant more than 10 TO seven

cause 1t will be impossible to pay op-
Grating expenses and dividends un-

of states. The men must modify
their demands or accept the respon-

The commissioners then met Gar
retson and Morrissey, heads of the
workmen, who showed how living
has increased fully 10 per cent with
no increase to railroad workers,
while other laborers got 20 per cent
increase on an average. At the same
time the earning capacity Of the
railroads has doubled.
The general opinion is that n set

heavy deposits which were followed d
soon after by heavy Withdrawals some
time after the trolley and telephone
franchises were examined.
Edwin Earl and DR.. Johnson Haines

amined. Heney will ask them what
they know about sending the sack"
to San Francisco a few days after
the fire.
There is little danger of the super
visors resigning as Schmitz, desires
them to do. They are afraid of the
big stick and will remain in office

were elected, IL Heney says the word.
As Ruef's trial approaches he is be-
ginning to lose his nonchallance. He
is also downcast by Delmas' refusal to
come into the case.
Both sides, 1t is believed, will be
ready to proceed with the trial Tues

STEEL SHOULD REPLACE WOOD IN BRIDGES

To replace the present small wooden
bridges scattered all over the county
with steel structures is the proposition
now being figured upon by the MEM
bers of the county court. The idea
has already been put into effect in
some places, and since the recent
floods the court has been more than
ever impressed with the advisability
of steel in place of wood for building
material.
Just now the court is preparing to
repair numerous small bridges in the
section northwest of here and yester-
day the commissioners drove over
that region with A. f. Eberhart of
Walla Walla, Mr.. Eberhart is the
representative of Esterday & Co., con-
tractors, who erected the steel bridges
at Athena and the one just above the
city. During the day yesterday he
was shown four or five of the bridges
where repairs are needed and has
been asked to offer an estimate upon
the cost of repairing the bridges with
steel abutments.
