There will be but little road and
bridge work done by the county
during the coming year and in con-
trast with the past year the coming
one promises to be a rather light one
upon taxpayers. This will be partly
due TO the fact that most of the need
ed bridges have now been built and
to the further fact that the members
of the court regard the time as mop
perfume for heavy expenditures exc
sary.
Las. year we had to build many
bridges and repair roads that had
been washed out by the floods" said
Commissioner Horace Walker to-day.
We built many steel bridges and made
other permanent Improvements that
were needed. l believe the people
OF the county were in good condition
to stand the expense"
This year we will not have to make
many permanent Improvements be-
cause the bulk of the work has al
ready been done. Then there is a
general tendency to economize at
present and the county will follow
that plan too"
At present the only. piece
of work being done by the county is
the construction of a mile of madam
road south of Weston. The farmers
of that vicinity are helping the coun-
ty in the work and have done all the
hauling while the coanty provided the
crushed rock.
May Replace Lee Street Bridge.
OF bridge work there will be but
little during the coming year unless
the Lee street bridge is replaced by a
modern structure. For some time
past the county court has been ready
to join with the city in rebuilding
that bridge and 1t may become imper-
ative to make the improvement this
year The bridge was originally built
at the expense of the county, but the
ownership now rests jointly with the
city and county.
According to Commissioner Walker
the bridge is in a dangerous condition
and it should be rebuilt this year.
If the improvement is undertaken it
will mean an expense of perhaps $20,-
600 on the city and county combined
for the old bridge will be replaced by
an up-to-date steel structure.

on the corner of Alta and Johnson.
In the first tract mentioned the
government could secure an excellent
site 100x1S5 feet in extent and by
taking the second tract mentioned a
site 10Ox15O feet could be secured.
Both of these sites are ideal and will
probably be considered by the gov
ernment agent who comes to locate
grounds for the building. The price
on these tracts is understood to be
very reasonable and they are looked
upon with favor.

TO BUILD THE SWIFT PLANT.
Portland Contractors VIII Bid on Big
Industry.

Portland contractors are to be given
the first opportunity in offering bids
for the ground floor work OF the
Union Meat companys' plant, best
known perhaps as the Swift & Co.
packing house, as the Swifts are heav-
lily interested, plans for which have
been completed and submitted to the
several parties interested, says the
oregon Daily Journal Blue prints
OF the foundations for part of the
plant have been completed and work
on the pillngs and the stone walls to
be put In will be started as soon as
possible
The first building that is to be built
will be six stories in height and will
cost something like 100000. In d.
mensions 1t will be 200x130 feet with
an annex OF 13Ox75 feet. The specifi-
cations call for the completion OF the
main building within the next year.
While the principal building Is in
the course of construction the stock
yards and several smaller buildings
are to be erected. Among these will
be the glue factory, wool pullery the
box factory and the engine room.
These buildings will be two or three
stories in height, $50 feet in length
and 100 feet wide.
1t is expected that the railroad
tracks to the packing house on the
peninsula will be completed within
few weeks and then 1t will be posi-
BILE to ship all material right to the
site.

LID ON S. p. TRAINS.
Southern Pacific Passes Through Pro-
hibition Desert.

AS a result of the June election, at
which so large a part of the state
went dry, officials of the Southern
Pacific are making preparations to
put the lid on trains through the dry
counties, says the Eugene Guard. No
liquor may be sold on the trains while
they are passing through Lane or any
other of the dry counties of the state
and passengers will be obliged to do
without intoxicating beverages they
especially favor.
From Gregory, on the state line to
the south, to jefferson, where the
Southern Pacific crosses into Marion
county, the first oasis in this state for
porthboupd trains is about 300
miles. almost a days run. Through
all this dreary waste of country, pas
sengers on trains will not be able to
get a drop to drink to assuage their
raging thirst.
The passenger department Of the
Hartman lines are preparing to have

on board trains while passing through
dry counties. The same plan is fol-
lowed in the east, when dry states are
crossed by railroads. Passengers
avoid the desolating effects Of this
regulation, however by buying a suf-
flcient quantity of wet goods before
the lid is clapped on to last them un-
til the train rolls into state where
the saloons have not yet been BAN
lshed and the blanket of prohibition
spread over the state.
The railroads cannot do otherwise
than comply with the law in regard
to selling liquor in dry territory, and
the passengers must abide by the re-
strictions. AS the new regulations
go into effect throughout the Oregon
counties which voted themselves dry

Frank Day, official dog catcher and
scavenger for Pendleton. was arrest
ed last night by the police for having
threatened to kill his former wife.
During the afternoon Day became
drunk and, as he has done before,
he repaired TO his divorced wife's
home and created trouble. He threat
ened to secure a gun and shoot her,
according TO the story told the police
by Mrs. Day, and she feared he might
do so.
Shortly after $3.50 last evening the
dog catcher was taken into custody
by Officer Clarence Kearney, and he
at once subsided. This morning Days
case was laid before the district at
torney and that official handed out
solemn warning to the disturber.
Another complaint for cruelty to
animals is also hanging over Days
head and he was told that if he was
heard from again he would be prose-
cuted for threatening TO kill and
also upon the cruelty charge.

A Reluctant Candidate.

It has been said that Mr.. Cleveland
was a reluctant candidate. His
friends had many consultations with
him on the subject, but he uniformly
discouraged rather than favored the
movement. 1t was Mr.. Manning, who
served during part Of Cleveland's first
term as Secretary Of the Treasury
who commanded the battle that re-
suited in Mr.. Clevelands nomination.
The Democrats had not elected a
president since the success of the Re-
publican party in 1860.
Mr.. Cleveland regarded the con-
test as doubtful at best, and had lit
tie inclination 10 round out a singu-
| larly successful career with national
defeat. He had never been intimate
with the Democratic leaders Of ma
tional fame, had travelled but little,
and had the greatest aversion to any
thing like ornamental parading in
politics.
Cleveland's nomination in Chicago
was accomplished against the most
aggressive opposition Of Tammany
Hail. led by the veteran John Kelley.
Tammany was in absolute control Of
the city Of New York, where 1t re-
qulred nearly 100000 Democratic ma
jority to give the electoral vote of the
state to a Democratic candidate. But
Manning and his associates compelled
Tammany to submit to have its votes
ip the convention cast for Cleveland
under the unit rule. The result was
that Cleveland was nominated to
make the fight against James g..
Blaine the Republican candidate. In
the November election the popular
vote cast for Mr.. Cleveland was A.
911'O17, as against 4,S4S,SS4 cast for
Mr. Blaine.
Prosperity Marked Administration.
Cleveland's first administration was
marked by general prosperity; by the
admission of four new states (Wash-
ington, Montana, North Dakota and
South Dakota) to the Union; and by
freer use OF the veto power than
had generally been exercised by other
Presidents. On the meeting of Con-

He soon became known as the
"veto mayor" using that prerogative
fearlessly in checking public expendi-
lures that he deemed unwise, illegal
or extravagant. The reformed meth
DDS of administering the city's affairs,
instituted by him while mayor, led to
his election in the following year as
governor of the State of New York,
by a majority of $4,000 votes over
his opponent, Judge Folger, the Re-
publican Secretary of the United
States Treasury. All the traits of as
siduous industry, unostentatious dig
nifty, thoroughness and simplicity
noted in Mr.. Clevelands early career
were observable during his stay in
Albany.
His phenomenal success in the gu
bernatorial election, as indicative Of
the probability of his carrying New
York and Of attracting the indepen-
dent vote, secured him the Democra-
tic nomination for the presidency in
1884.
