ed for viadnct. there would not
be money enough left for the Mon
roe st. structure. He intimated,
also, that the Division st. people
were not particular about the
Monroe st. bridge being built for
the same reason-that there would
be not enough money left for their
viaduct.
However, he attempted to offer
no solution of the various prob
lens or just how city officials were
to overcome them.
In the opinion of some of the
best attorneys in town the railroads
can be compelled to erect the via
ducts they have made necessary.
It is also as authoritatively held
that the city can find means OF
forcing the w. w. P. Co. to con-
tribute its share Of the cost of new
bridges used by w. w. P. street

PLAN TO PATCH
). UNSAFE BRIDGE
Administration Will Ask w. w. P.
Engineer for Repair Estimates.

Immediate hopes for new
Z bridge at Monroe st. apparently
went glimmering late yesterday
when the special committee ap-
pointed by the council to employ
an engineer to prepare plans for
the bridge demanded by property
owners on both sides of the river,
met and took up the proposition.
The committee decided to en-
ploy, at the city's expense, ]. A. l..
Waddell, the Kansas City engineer
the w. w. P. Co. had originally of,
fered to hire on it's own account to
determine whether the old bridge
could be repaired and reopened.
The only difference is that the
expense is now shifted on the city
with the company making the
choice Of the engineer.
Mr. Waddell is to decide whether
the old bridge can be used again,
exactly as the company intended
in the first place. II it cannot be
repaired he is to submit estimates
on the cost of a new bridge.
Mayor Moore. maintains that
these plans are to include both
concrete and steel, although such
is not officially specified. Mr.. Wad-
dell Is steel bridge representa-
tive.
The members Of the committee
who took this course are Mayor
Moore, Councilmen Pratt, Funk,
Gray, Estep, Commissioner Roy.
The disturbing significance of
the selection of Waddell is the fact
that the w. w. p. Co. proceeded
to lay new rails on the old bridge,
which Is now condemned. after
making an offer to employ the
same engineer to report on the
safety of the structure.
In explaining the situation as he
sees 1t, Mayor Moore said today:
I'VE EXPECT Mr.. Waddell to re-
port on not only new steel struc-
ture, but likewise. concrete one.
Our resolution did not specify
either steel or concrete.
THE committee does not believe
that the councils action binds it
to any particular procedure.
THE Washington Water Power
Co. suggested this man Waddell
swd that he had been highly
recommended to the company by
railway officials who consider him
the foremost steel bridge man in
the country
The mayor was asked II it were
not possible that the Washington
Water Power Co. anticipated that
Waddell's report would show the
bridge safe enough for. street cars
and that was the reason that new
rails had been laid He said he
did not believe such to be the case,
as Waddell was man of high
prominence among bridge builders
and he would not make any but a
reliable report.
IL will say this much, however"
he stated, "the company never was

FIX OLD BRIDGE
SAYS ROY

In speaking of the Monroe st.
bridge problem today W. T. Roy,
president of the board of public
works, said:
I'VE have decided to see If this
bridge cannot be fixed up instead
of putting in a new structure.
suggested at the meeting that if
they want steel bridge, or re.
port on steel bridge, they should
get steel man-an engineer whose
specially is steel structures.
THE committee realizes that the
public wants a new bridge and
not patched up one. We have
three plans now and another one
won't hurt any"
When asked as to the effect OF
the attitude of the w. w. p. upon
the progress of building. Roy said
that that would be fixed up all
right.

BLOODHOUNDS PICK UP TRAIL
BUT ARE UNABLE TO FOL-
LOW 1T ANY DISTANCE FROM
SCENE OF HOlDUP.

The posse in pursuit of the train
robbers who held up Great North
ern Oriental limited train near
Rondo, Mont, early yesterday
morning reported today that the
bloodhounds picked up a trail and
followed it around the neighbor-
hood Of the holdup, but seemed un-
able to go any distance. From the
best information obtainable there
were four robbers instead Of three,
and 1t is believed that one held the
horses while the holdup was in
progress.
The Hole in the Wall country
is not far from the scene, and it is
presumed to be the destination of
the fleeing desperadoes. 1t was
near here that the kid" Curry
gang held up the Great Northern
passenger train in 1901. This gang
escaped to the Hole in the Wall"
and was never caught, although
Curry was subsequently captured
in ST. Louis with woman, who
gave the information of him, but
he later escaped and has since new

This usually happens as a result of the

that the water in the particular pool
formed during the rainy season Is In
danger of drying out completely they
make all preparations for moving and
late at night or early In the morning
deliberately climb the banks and start
off In search of some more commodious

hour 1t usually is the fish are favored
by the heavy dew which lies on the

spines, like those of the common perch.
They have receptacle in which they
carry water with them to moisten their
gills. 1T Is said that they viii live sew
