Concrete Construction

From the Cedar Falls Record.
"You can get some idea Of
the amount of material in the
new concrete bridge at Water
loo when | tell you that a care
full computation places the nu-
mber of pounds at $4,000, 900,
observed Mr.. Bartlett, Of &c.
dar Rapids, one of the contrac-
tors, to a Record man the 9TH
err day. II am of the opinion
that concrete bridges, and n
fact most concrete work, will
be constructed out of about one
half of the material now used
in the near future. That bridge
at Waterloo is entirely too
heavy for the use intended.
There could not possibly be
placed upon it at any one place
or time a sufficient to make any
very material difference upon
the mass of material that is
used in its construction and
when the immense weight Of
the bridge is considered l am.
Of the opinion that it would do
the work intended even better
it not more than half of its
present weight was used in its
construction. Think what an
awful weight the bridge mus
sustain in carrying it's own bur
den. The weight placed upon
it in ordinary traffic is a mere
atom compared with it. When
once the concrete business is
developed so that a moderate
amount of material will be util.
zed in constructive work the
cost will be materially cheaper
I'd and as a result there will be
decided stimulus in the use
If concrete as a building com.

Saturday, Dec lo

Last year we tried to get up
a standing directory of the
lodges, but the information was
so slow in reaching us that we
gave up. This season, just as
soon as the lodges have held
their elections, we will ask the
secretaries of the various
lodges to send us in their regu-
lar meeting nights, officers, etc.
This will be of great help to us
in that we will not have to be
setting up notices at different
times, but have them standing
in the paper.

Today was a record breaker
for our local merchants. The
day was ideal and the people
came in today to do their
Christmas shopping, this being
the last chance, or Saturday to
be more correct, before that
day. Also with the payday in
the local shops, helped to swell
the crowds in the stores this
afternoon. The Christmas buy

but by evening many will have
their supply laid away.

that he could very we'll understand
why some people were for Gov. Pat
terson in this contest-it was a matter
of business with them-but there were
church members and those that claim
ed to be Christians, who attend church

hard thing for him to understand was
when they say: Lead us not into temp

has been the case since we have been
rid of the saloons and while the drink

compare with what it was when we
had the saloons, yet sorrow and trou-

we can as good citizens to get State

boys from becoming drunkards and
our daughters from becoming drunk
ards wives.
now, lastly, l would make a most
earnest appeal to the young men of

my circumstances, to be influenced to
