LARGE STEEL BRIDGE
One Being Erected Over Platte
a Model

People travelling by road from
Evans to LaSalle have noted from
time to time as the work progres-
sed, the features of the big. steel
bridge the Union Pacific is putting
in, replacing the wooden structure
which has done good service over the
Platte river for several years.
As the equipment of the road is
being improved, larger engines in
stalled and the volume Of traffic is
enlarging year by year, immense out
lay OF money has been made by the
railway company, Strengthening
curves, unifying grades, safeguarding
operation Of rolling stock by block
ing and other devices; and one of the
biggest enterprises undertaken by
the construction department. in the
forward movement of the road is the
building of this fine steel structure
to the south of US.
The span covers the broad expapse
OF the bed of the Platte and extends
for rods at each end on a raised
grade, which provides for all posi-.
biiities of high water and floods and
makes modern bridge, practically
immune from danger so far as ordi-
nary possibilities go.
The steel for the super structure
came In from Chicago few days ago
In charge Of the American Bridge
company, bearing the hall mark
Carnegie. This steel was brought
In on fat cars, two cars to section,
There are twenty sections of this
steel structural work, supported by
twenty-oDe Immense piers of solid
concrete resting on piles, sunk to a
depth OF eight feet. Each of these
steel sections weighs seventeen tons,
300 pounds, and the work of placing
these on the immense supporting
outtresses took but fourteen hours,
which shows something of the
facility with which the immense
wrecking derricks carry on their en-
gineering work. The last of the
steel was placed in position last
wednesday and now remains simplv
the track work of laying the ties
across. The wrecking derricks and
crew from Denver did the work.
The steel gang which drove the
piles has been at work since January

man w. Carlin. They established 4
substantial camp near the bridge and
have been on the ground since.
This gang consists Of fifteen men.
Foreman Daniel Sullivan, who
has been in the employ of the road
on the main line for some time, has
been at the head of the concrete
gang. This numbered forty men.
In connection with the work of
building and installing the bridge
the grade is being raised at the
bridge between five and six feet.
leveling clear down to the cut. The
grading contract was taken nv
Kingsbury brothers of LaSalle, who
get so much per yard. The graders
have a camp of tents near the scena
of their work.
1t is estimated that the entire
work will cost s48, 900, or Slightly
less.
The work of laying the ties will
take another month so that in =
month trains will be passing over tho
new bridge. When you think of tho
span covering fifth of a mile tho
bridge seems like an immense st,nc.
ture and 1t certainly Is.

ANOTHER SHORT LOT
Items of Interest From LaSalle
Country

The LaSalle Presbyterian church
is doing a splendid work in finances
and one that is a suggestion to some
of the churches in the larger towns.
Last year they raised 81, $40 for all
purposes. Taking into consideration
the facts that the congregation is
necessarily limited and that small
percentage would be able to be very
generous in a financial way this
seems good record indeed.
X. w. Bunting had the pleasure
of entertaining his brother, sister
and cousin last week while the trio
were on their way to California.
Mr.. Bunting has been employed at
the depot for the past two months.
r. Steiger, formerly of Denver,
where he was employed in the groc-
cry business, is the tenant of the G.
P. Kemmerer eighty southeast OF
LaSale. This is one Of the farms
injured to some extent by seepage.
A bout ten acres this year of fine,
rich soil will not be available unless
the water evaporates greatly. Mr..
Steiger has been on the place year
and is handling it in good shape the
second year. He will have variety
of crops, wheat, oats. beets and
potates.
Across the road to the east is
Christ Meller, tenant farmer. Here
is strong evidence of Colorado pros
perity for the mother of the family
smilingly tells you she doesn't know
much about farming operations, who
owns the farm or anything OF that
sort, for she has an even dozen chill
dren in the house. The reporter
readily excuses this lack of detailed
information on outside matters and
with the wish that IT. r." might
only call here and have his heart
gladdened, passes on to the next
place.
Here we have slight contrast for
Stephen Myers, Young land good
looking) bachelor owns and operates
the place, eighty acres, making his
home at the Humphrey place. Mr..
Myers fears the effect of the contin-
ued cold weather and the frosts on
the growing crops. He has among
other crops five acres of beets, two
of potatoes and twelve of grain. A
quantity of alfalfa will also be har-
vested.
Tuesday evening in Stewards hall |
was given a unique entertainment
for the benefit of the Ladies' Aid So
ciety. This was an old time con.
cert participated In by the older
boys and girls'' of LaSalle and

The American people are charged
with being the most wasteful and
prodigal in the world, and there is a
of people can live on what the Amer
leans throw away.
At any rate, the destructive dispo-
sition OF our people is strikingly seen
In the determination OF the wild ouf-
faloes, millions of which roamed upon
the western plains of this country
within the knowledge and experience
OF many persons of the present gencr-
alton. but of which to-day not one
exists in the wild state. and but few
under private ownership.
The prodigality with which the vast
American forests are being cut Il pwn
without any effort at restoration is
another example of wholesale Ameri-
cal waste. When the first ENGLISH
settlers landed on American soil tire,
centuries ago the entire region q ON
the Atlantic coast to the Mississippi.
and from far mp in Canada to the
shores of the Gulf of Mexico, was
densely covered with virgin forests
To-day. the greatest part of that vast
region of one million square miles las
come under the woodman's ak and
has been denuded of its forest growth.
West OF the great river the forest
growth does not extend westward fer
more than one hundred miles, and
thence to the Rocky Mountains there
are few or no trees except along the
banks of the streams and among the
hills where there happen to be such
prominences in the broad table lands
or the west. The rapidity with
which the American timber suppl" Is
being exhausted has recently been
brought to view by report ma lie by
United States Inspector of Forests r.
S. Kellogg
His report shows that the value of
the annual output of forest products
Is about one billion dollars OF mere.
He shows that the country now con-
sumes every year between three aL1
four times more wood than all IT'S for
ests grow in that lime Actually,
therefore, We are eXhausting ou" for
est capital at a terrible rate, and
though the total supply continues to
be enormous certain kinds of timber
are rapidly decreasing, and great sec.
lions of the country have passed the
maximum of their producing pDwe-
and are on the decline.
AS regards consumption and popu-
lation, there is the following state
ment:
Rapidly as the population of the
United States has increased, the
