HORRIBLE DISASTER
Three Score Men Go Down With
COllapsing Bridge.

Quebec. Cue, Aug. 30.-A section OF
renee river five miles below this city
collapsed, carrying scores of bridge
workers and mechanics into the wat
er. 1t is estimated that the loss Of
life is at least sixty and may exceed
that number by twenty. The bridge
was about a mile and half in length,
and half of it-from the south shore to
mid-stream-crumpled UP and dropped
into the water. Ninety men were at
work on this section of the structure,
and the whistle had ust blown at $50
for the men to quit work for the day,
when there came a irinding sound
from the bridge midstream.
1.-THE Bridge Is Falling"
The men turned to see what had
happened and an instant later the cry
went up ''the bridge is falling" The
men made a rush ShOreward, but the
distance was too great for them to
escape. The fallensectiOn of the bridge
dragged others after it, the swapping
Orders and cables booming like a
crash of artillery. Terror lent fleet
ness to the feet of the frightened work
men as they sped shoreward, but only
a few of them reached safety before
TIT last piece of iron work on the
south shore was dragged into the riv-
e.. Near the shore the wreckage of
the bridge did not go below the sur
face of the water, and eight workmen
who remained above water were res
cued and taken to the hospital at
Lewis.
All Went Down with the Wreck.
The steamer Glenmont had just
cleared the bridge when the first sec,
ton fell. The water thrown up by the
debris came clear over the bridge Of
the steamer. The captain at once low
cred boats. and they piled backward
over the Sunken Wreckage for half an
hour, but there was no sign of life.
The twisted iron and steel had it's vic,
TINS in Il terrible death grip. A few
floating timbers and the broken
strands Of the bridge toward the north
thing unusual had happened. There
was not a ripple ON the smooth surface
of the st. Lawrence as it swept along
toward the gulf. All the men drowned
We're employees Of the Phoenixville
Bridge company, and sub contractors
of Quebec and Montreal. At this writ,
ing sixteen bodies have been picked
up, and of tht tight men in the Lewis
hospital two are not expected to live.
Was a $1O,OOO,OOO Structure.
The Quebec bridge was begun about
seven years ago and it was to be fin
ished in 1909. Subsidies had been
granted by the federal and provincial
governments and. the city of Quebec,
and the estimated cost of the work
was $10,00O,0O0. The Phoenixville
Bridge company, of Pennsylvania, had
the contract for the construction of
the bridge, and was working from
both sides of the river.

Apple Crop Bllghteo.

1t is stated that apples will be very
scarce this fall as only a small guam
THY have been brought into the To-
cal market and those now on the
market are small. There are plenty
of early apples, stated a local grocer
today, but they ale very small in
comparison with the early fruit of
former years.
Muskmelons are also very scarce
and local grocery men are asking
good prices for them. The melons
now on the market are called the
Rockyfords and are shipped in here
from the west.
Many residents in this city and
other cities are trying TO get blue
berries but these berries have almost
disappeared from the market. Black
berries are fairly free yet and the
price is not very high.

When Swallows Depart

If last night you watched the swaI-
lows sweeping through the air at
twilight in long graceful curves, or
counted the army assembled on a
barn roof, or the flying squadron
resting for a time on the telegraph
wires, today you may look for them
in vain. Their hour of departure
strikes any time after the LIST of
August that their secret-service
code announces, and at once they
are gone.
The going of the swallow is one
of the phenomena of the late dog
days. Written bird love gives little
space to interesting tales of the
swallow tribes, yet one who lives in
the real country, in places where
swallows frequent, knows that OF
all the birds of the year these are
among the most mysterious and
fascinating in their movements, and
are nearer to the spirits of the air
than many a bird that has become
domesticated and willing to live
within sight of windows and to keep
an eye out for human goings on.
Long ago the swallows discovered
that the caves of barns were capital
places under which to plaster nests.
No need for them to hunt for cliffs
or rocks remote. Barns were also
favorable breeding places for IN
sects suitable as food for young
swallows, and this in itself is an
item worth considering if one in
tends to raise a brood or two in a
short summer.
222
The chimney swifts likewise found
out the desirability of building in
the great chimneys that used to
rise from the walls of country
houses, and since the discovery was
noised abroad every country house
of any pretentions that boasts a big
chimney has its colony of these
swifts, some of which remain over
winter. The country wise acre will
tell you that swallows hibernate and
tribes are renewed IN the clay banks
by spontaneous generation, but you
may thind about that as you please
Far better than formulating any
CUT and dried rules for bird life il
the practice of taking the feathered
folks as we see them and getting
what joy we can out of their I'M
restrained lives IN the air.
The delight of living for most OF
us is made of small rounds Of unal-
loved pleasure which shine with q
crystalline light in the days labor.
Who that has heard the twitter OF
martins IN the gray dawn has not
begun his day with a throb of pure
delight and in some distant year
wakes to recall it? The song Of the
martin, short as it is, is a clear note
of beauty that sparkles like gem
in midsummer weather. And if q
swallow colony is IN sight Of a porch
or window, the comings and 60
ings, the fastening of parent birds
with food, the glossy heads that
peep over the edge of the nests, and
the seeming sport Of the graceful
creatures that go hunting at sunset,
afford as lively an interest as the
activities of a town neighborhood.

Smith says he's glad to be home
North Dakota looks better to

II don't see how the people
live out in California. The land
is no good and they must live off
from the crop OF tourists. One
fellow wanted to sell me an acre
of land for $500. l asked him
what the land would produce
and he said nothing. But, he
went on, think Of the climate. l
made up my mind that the fell
low wanted to sell me an acre OF
climate for $500 and throw in
the land. l don't like the
railroads in that state. One

I've seen many better places
than California. "

Tho Call Of North Dakota.

A North Dakota girl is spend
ing her vacation out in Cali
fornia, and she is homesick. The
poem which she sent in is as fol-
lows:
Surfeited here with beauty, and the
sensuous sweet perfume
Borne in from thousand gardens, and
orchards of orange bloom;
Awed by the silent mountains, and
stunned by the breakers roar
The restless ocean pounding and tugging
away at the shore
lie on the warm sand beach and hear
above the cry OF the sea,
The voice Of the prairie, calling,
Calling me.
Sweeter to me than the salt sea spray,
the fragrance Of summer rains;
Nearer my heart than the mighty hills
are the wind-swept Dakota plains.
Dearer the sight of shy Wild rose by
the roadside's dusty way,
Than all the splendor Of poppy fields,
ablaze in the Gun Of May.
Gay az the bold poinsettia is, and the
burden Of the pepper trees,
The sunfower, tawny and gold and
brown, is richer to me than these;
And rising ever above the song of the
hoarse insistent sea,
The voice of the prairie, calling,
Calling me.
Dakota, beloved Mother, to-day in an
alien land,
Yours ia the name I have idly traced
with bit of wood in the sand.
The name that, sprung from scornful
lip, will make the hot blood start,
The name that is craven, hard and deep,
on the core of my loyal heart.
O, higher, clearer, and stronger yet than
the boom of the savage sea,
The voice of the prairie, calling,
Calling me.
