OWNERS WANT
To BUILD

Plans of property owners of East
Olive avenue were made Known to
the city council last night by At
torney John M. Bum, who spoke in
support of immediate action of
some sort on the bridge question.
Councilman Funk introduced res
olution to reduce the plans of the
proposed steel structure to one suf-
ficient in strength only for highway
traffic. The resolution was referred
to the committee of the whole.
Attorney Bum said that there
were people ready to construct
100000 worth of buildings as soon
as bridge was built Plans are
for the raising of the grade be-
tween the east and west Olive ave-
nue. bridges, paving of the avenue
with either asphalt or oileroid, and
a subway at Front and Sheridan
eliminating the dangerous railroad
crossings of the Inland Empire sys-
tenn and the connecting line be-
tween the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific. He said that
more than half of the people living
in the district desired a highway
bridge and that rs per cent of the
business interests and all the man
ufacturing interests desired it. At
present there is no possibility of
crossing at Mission avenue and
within a few days the East Sprague
trestle will be closed, necessitating
people coming into town via Third
avenue. The Olive avenue bridge
is condemned. He recommended
that if the Inland Empire line
would not pay a proportion of the
cost of bridge that highway
bridge. should be built and then if
the railway people desired to use it
they would be compelled to
strengthen it at their own expense
When the bridge is built a connect
ing line between the Trent road
and the center of town will be Sc
cured.
On motion of Councilman Os-
trander the council ordered the
board of works to secure plans for
raising the grade between bridges
and to ascertain to what extent
abutting property would be dam
aged.
Plans for the concrete bridge,
which will cost s91,0 according to
the city engineers estimate, were
referred to the committee of the
whole.

ECLIPSE Of SUN
VISIBLE SUNDAY
PARTIALLY DARKENED
FOR PENDLEToN PEOPLE.
Moon VIII Come Between Earth and
Old Sol Tomorrow Morning Between
the Hours OF and 0-People With
Smoked Glasses VIII Have Chance
TO Witness Rare Sight.

Washington, June 27.-Old Sol will
go into partial eclipse tomorrow morn
Ing and for over three hours will hide
his face from the people OF consid-
cradle portion OF the United States.
The area in which the eclipse may be
observed covers the North American
continent south of latitude 60, as well
as South America north OF the equa-
tor and large portions of the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans, southwestern
Europe and west Africa. As the moon
Is now at almost its greatest distance
from the earth, It will not, when ap-
parently directly in front OF the sun,
quite conceal II. The area where such
cnetral observation may be made
and where the eclipse is most nearly
total is about 200 miles wide and ex-
tends across Mexico. the gulf and
Florida.
The first contact Of the eclipse. as
viewed in Washington, will begin at
9:27 tomorrow morning, reaching its
greatest degree of observation at 1922
and ending at 1859 o'clock. At its
height. shortly after II o'clock, about
three-fourths of the suns rays will be
cut off and the greater part OF the
United States will pass into semi-ob-
scurity.
As observed in Washington, the
moon will appear to pass before the
southern part OF the sun, beginning
at the right edge and gradually cover
ing all the lower part of the disc. At
its height the eclipse will transform
the sun into crescent Of width
about a third the diameter of the sun.
AT this time, the shape of the sun can
readily be perceived by gazing at 1t
through smoked glass.
Little significance Is attached to a
partial eclipse of the sun by astrono-
mers, as all possible observations un-
der such conditions have already
been made Only a total eclipse now
has a scientific interest, since 1t af-
fords opportunities for studying the
suns surroundings not possible at any
other time.
Tomorrow's eclipse will begin at
6:12 in San Francisco, at 1921 in
Denver at sos In New Orleans. at
SAL in Chicago, at S:3S in Tampa.
at 9:3S in New York, at 1908 in Bos-
ton and at corresponding differences
OF time in intermediate cities.

Waycross Booming

Waycross, Ga, July lO.-Accord-
ing to reports from Tampa, Fla. the
movement on foot by citizens Of
Jacksonville and Waycross for an
extension of the A., B. and A.
R'y at from Waycross to Jack
sonville is based on ignorance of
the roads plains. It is said that a
500. 600 contract has just been
awarded by the Tampa Northern,
owned by the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic for dredging a 21-foot
channel to the roads terminals at
Tampa. Through the gulf outlet
thus obtained it is pointed out
that the Atlanta, Birmlnghua and
Atlantic will push it's business Sc
cured at Birmingham and beyond.
The Tampa Northern will join
the Atlanta. Birmingham and
Atlantic at brownsville, and thus
give an outlet in Florida without
touching Jacksonville. 1t is
claimed that the Atlanta, BlrmihS-
ham and Atlantic has all the
Atlantic water it wants at the
Brunswick terminals. However
true this may be, determined
efforts are being made to consider
favorably the extension from
Waycross to Jacksonville. Not
only are the citizens of the two
cities pushing the matter, but
Fitzgerald has become interested
and delegation from that city
headed by Mayor Knapp, will
attend the Jacksonville meeting
on July 10 Inducements in the
way ofterminals and right of way
will be gotten into final shape and
sent to the Atlanta, Birmingham

never been a movement that the
city was so thoroughly interested
in, and favorable decision from
the officials is hoped for.
