BRIDGE WORK
DELAYED SOME
Progress on Steel Viaduct Across
lawyers Canyon Not as Rapid
as Many SuppOse---May Per-
haps Finish by August 1St.

The writer and family made a
trip out to the site of the big
steel railroad bridge across
lawyers canyon north of Ferdi-
nand Sunday. The bridge is a
mammoth affair and well worth
anyone's time to see. Large
crowds of sightseers assemble
there, each Sunday and give the
place a holiday appearance.
The work of installing the bridge
steel has been going on for
several weeks, and, to our
inexperienced eyes, about one
fourth Of the steel is now in
place the work is daily becoming
more difficult and dangerous and
the large crane used in hauling
the heavy pieces of steel has
about all it can do at times.
Last week it is reported to have
tipped up a couple times when
extra heavy pieces were being
lowered into place and a number
of the workmen quit rather than
to continue in such dangerous
positions. This will delay
progress materially until other
men can be secured and it is no
easy task to get men suited tt
such work.
There still remains 16 concrete
piers to be built on this side o1
the canyon but most of these are
short ones and they will probably
all be completed long before
needed. Just how long it will
take yet to complete the bridge
is hard to tell but it is very doubt
full if it is in place before the
middle of July at the earliest
and little bad luck can easily
delay this a month more.
The bridge in the center is 28E
feet above the bottom of tht
canyon and is 1895 feet in length
1t will contain, when finished
2,42O tons of steel and 60,0O(
rivets will be used in putting i
together. The heaviest singl'
piece of steel entering into tn
construction Of the big bridg
weighs 35 tons. The bridge ha
the distinction Of being the high
est railroad bridge on the North
ern Pacific system and is one o
the highest in the world. 1t
construction is an engineering
feat of no mean Importance an,
the completion of the structur
is being iTnpatiently awaited b,
all the residents of Camas Prairi
and idaho county.

CREDITORS CLAMOR
FOR anna GOULD

PARIS, March 11.-Social Paris
was shocked today when it was learn
ed that Madame Anna Gould had
closed her mansion, leaving unpaid
creditors clamoring for their money.
She also closed her wine cellars and
took the keys with her.
What interests society more is .
report that Prince Helie de Sagan
has engaged passage on the same
steamer, and that they will sail for
New York Wednesday on the Kaiser
Wilhelm.
The most interesting news of all is
we'll founded report that Count
Boni de Castellane will try to pre-
vent, through the courts, her at
tempt to smuggle away the children.
He has recently had her watched to
prevent this.
After a stormy scene at her man
sion in the Bois de Boulogne yester-
day, Madame Anna ordered that
place closed. She dismissed all her
servants, telling them they would
have to wait for their wages; she
had no money with which to pay
them.
Commercial Paris, that part which
has financial dealings with the for
mer Countess de Castellane, says her
trip is for the purpose of raising
money; that she is altogether without
funds and is head over heels in debt
Since her departure yesterday scores
of anxious creditors have beseiged
the mansion in the Bois.
The French papers lately have re.
ported downfalls in Gould stocks and
have said that the Deutsche Bank
has refused to renew Madame
Gould's notes.

RABBI
N|ETO'S
BELIEF
STATEMENTS OF RUFF ARE NOT
WORTHY OF CRED
ENCE.

SAN FRANCISCO, March IL.
Late this afternoon more affidavits
were filed by the bribery-graft prose-
cution in Judge Lawlors court. These
consist of statements signed and
sworn to by John E. Mccarthy, who
was a guard during the time Ruef
was confined in the Fillmore street
house; George w. Burnell, formerly
Ruef's teacher, and Assistant District
Attorney Heney. McCarthy's aft,
davit details some of the scenes that
took place in the Fillmore street
house, denies statements made by a
former landlord and servant in the
affidavit presented by the defense.
Burnell's affidavit alleges that Rabbi
Nieto told him on one occasion, dur
ing conversation, that he would not
believe statements made by Ruef.
Heney's affidavit presents nothing
new. but is brief and specific denial
of every allegation made in Ruef's
first affidavit.

RAILWAYS DOING
MORE BUSINESS

NEW YORK, March 1O.-That the
decline in the railroad traffic which
had gained such heavy proportions
in January, was checked in February
is indicated by the most recent re-
ports of the American Railway Asso-
citation, which shows that the num-
Der of idle cars in the United States
and Canada was smaller by over 2O,-
900 cars on February 10Th than it
had been two weeks earlier.
That the number of idle cars is
still so large as to give much con-
cern to railroad managers, can not
be gainsaid, but some encouragement
at least is found by railroad men in
the fact that there are fewer cars
idle now or were on February 18th
than on February 5th, or at any date
in fact, since the beginning of the
year. The net surplus of cars or
February 18th is given as 319,264.

NO PENALTY FOR
The Hotel Beats

TACOMA, Wash, March 1.-THE
arrest of w. e. Ross Macdonald in
Tacoma on a warrant issued by the
prosecuting attorney at North Yaki-
ma on complaint of l. B. Turnell, pro-
prietor of the Pacific Hotel, charging
Macdonald with misdemeanor for
leaving that city without paying his
hotel bill, had an interesting sequel
in the Superior Court at Yakima to-
day, when Judge Preble ordered the
immediate release of Macdonald on
his recognizance.
IF there is a law permitting ar
rest and Imprisonment of persons for
debt in this country, 1t is contrary to
the provisions of me Constitution, "
said Judge Preble. you might as
well throw a man in jail for owing G
whiskey or grocery bill as for owing
hotel bill. Such laws were in ef-
feet hundreds of years ago. but more
enlightened people should not allow
them to be enforced at this day."

Below Mastodon is Mammoth. and
this stream carries not only pay from

The Berry brothers intend to build

TACOMA, Wash, March 11.--Har-
rowing stories of how Mexicans at

widow, are told by Mrs. Edwardson,
widow OF the late master of the bark

Following Captain Edwardson' 5
death, many complications arose.
There is a Mexican law providing that
any person dying in the country must
be buried in Mexican soil for at least
FIVE years. The widow determined
not to leave her husbands body in
that strange land and, after much
trouble, special permission was secur-
ed from the Governor to take the re-
mains away.
According to Captain Larsen. who
succeeded to the command of the ves-
sci, and Mrs. Edwardson, there seem
ed to be a concerted effort to extort
money from them during their sor-
row. Physicians charged $1143 for
their services, and $3.50 was asked
to embalm the body. Both charges
were considered exorbitant. Finally

metal boxes weight about 1905
pounds. Before the bills were all
paid and the ship cleared the ex-

lie gallery closed for repairs. This is
the official way of putting it. Car
penters are at work and repairs are
actually being carried on. 1t is an
open secret among brokers, however,
that the real reason for closing the
gallery was the fear that some crank
might go into it and drop a bomb
over the railing on top of the brok-
eis.
Many letters from cranks have
been received since last October, but
they were not taken seriously until
Broker J. II. Oliphant, member of

blown up the whole institution IL the
idea had occurred 10 him. The des-
