Economy Of Concrete Bridoes,

In the case Of a steel bridge the Ia
Dor and material are seldom found in
the locality in which the bridge is
built, whereas in the construction Of
a concrete bridge most Of the labor
and materials may be obtained at the
site, and the greater part Of the money
expended for the bridge remains I'm the
community. This Is aside from the
cost Of maintenance and appropriate
design, which are entirely in favor Of
concrete. 1t would be more conom-
ical under certain circumstances to
pay from one and a half to two times
as much in first cost for a concrete
bridge AS n Of steel. There is good
reason to believe that this represents
the situation AZ it pertains to the aver
age bridge instead of being the excep-
ton. How vastly more economical to
use concrete where the cost does not
exceed steel, which has frequently
been the case in many sections Of the
country, In some instances bids for
concrete being lower than for STEEL
Cement Age.

stationary wreck the chamber and tube
would be moved preferably by anchor
lines, but when a search for q wreck
OF other object is being made the
chamber will either be suspended clear
of the bottom and the surface hull
with its submarine tube and chamber
towed by a tug, or the chamber will
be lowered to the bottom and the
whole plant, surface and submerged,
moved by means of a heavy mechan-
ically driven tractor wheel projecting
through the chamber and resting upon
the bottom.
This last will be the method of pro-
erosion adopted when the system is
used in the pearl fisheries, for which
the plant is particularly we'll adapted.
The illustration shows the compart-
ment fitted with two large mechanic
ally operated rakes hinged. one on
each side, at the axis of the chamber.
This type Of machine would be used
on bottoms that are fairly clear Of
rocks, and the method of cleaning up
oyster ground may be likened to that
of a reaper cleaning up a wheattield.
The working compartment is wheeled
back and forth over the oyster beds
in parallel lines. When the rakes be-
come filled the submarine compart-
ment is stopped, the rakes are rotated
and elevated by machinery within the
submarine working chamber, and the
oysters are dumped into a Ear which
runs on rails on the top and sides
Of the tube, as shown. The car being
filled. it is hauled to the surface and
dumped Of its load.

President Of the Big Fair at Seattle,
Which Is Now Open.
The ucces attending the opening of
the Alaska ukon-Pacifc exposition at
Seattle on June l Is In great part due
to the energy shown by the president
Of the exposition company, J. E. Chill
berg. The management Of the fair up
to this point has been characterized by
exceptional aggressiveness and enter
prise, and President Chilberg has en-
deavored in his direction of the affairs
of the exposition to have it make a
record for efficiency, promptitude and
economy of administration. He has
been a pioneer in the development Of
the wealth Of Alaska and is at the
head of some Of the largest financial
institutions Of the region especially ex-
plotted in the fair at Seattle. Mr..
Chilberg made an address at the open
ing Of the fair.
The exposition management made a
special effort to have everything in
readiness for visitors on the opening
day. with the result that when the
