Down at the new bridge, where
the falsework piles are standing in

with pike poles pushing the drifting

severe flood occurs for another fort
night that the work on the bridge
will be so far along, so far as re-
CARDS the temporary structure now
resting in the river bed, that the

Even should a flood come. a log

They Thought 1t Was a Shame.

Some time ago Roy Zahren was
working up on the Wenatchee river
with crowd of men, doing prelim-
mary work looking to the, location
OF water supply. 1t was necessary
to go to and fro each day for two
weeks CT more, and the local livery
stables were asked to make a price
for the transportation of the men.
The price named was considered too
stiff, and other means of transporta-
tiOn were sought-with the result
that an automobile run by Chaffuer
Garfield was impressed-at a cheap
er rate than a wagon could be hired
for.
So far so good
But when a list of city expendi-
lures was published recently, and an
item of $45 for Automobile hire"
appeared, portion of the great re-
ligious public was appalled,. They
Immediately had visions of popping
corks and "fizz" water, lobster a la
Newburg, and other extravagant del
iicatessens, and felt sure that the
city councilmen were going to the
dogs.
This word of explanation should
suffice to set them at rest-the city

This gives a total estimated reserve for
the red and brown ores of the four states
noted of over 2,5eO.000O0O tons. If to this
we add the ores occurring at deeper levels
in the states named. and also the red and
brown ores of Maryland, West Virginia
and kentucky. and the magnetic ores of
the other southern states, il is probably
fair to assume that the total southern
1O,OCO,G0Oo0 tons, or five times that
credited to the Lake Superior region
Much of this ore is of course unavoidable
at the present day. but all of it should be
counted on in any estimate of total ore
reserves.
ITO sum up the matter: In place of the
1.1O0OO0,0O0 tons credited by the Swedish
geOlOgist, ii IS probably safe to say that
the United States has from ten to twenty
times that reserve of iron ore.
Assuming that the demand for iron
ore during the present century may range
from 100000 to 100000 tons per year
the Lake Superior district would last for
from twenty-five to fifty years more, if
1t supplied the entire United States. But
counting on the known reserves else
where in the United States, the ore will
last for much longer period, though of
course it must necessarily show a grad
ual but steady increase in value and in
cost of mining, along with an equally
made here to consider a very important
factor In the prOblem-the extent to
which Cuban, Haitian and other high
grade foreign ores many be imported in
the near future"

detailed statistics of the iron ore prOduc-
ton by districts. collected for the United
States geological survey. as well as sta
