GREATEST OF IT'S KIND.
Proposed Bridge Across Snake River
Most Picturesque.

From Shoshone Journal.
When the proposed great railroad
bridge, Just below Shoshene Falls, is
completed, it will be the greatest
structure of the kind in the world.
There are longer bridges. The
great Forth cantilever bridge in
Scotland, has single spans more than
100 feet long. The Brooklyn sus-
pension bridge, and the new Man
haitian suspension bridge, and the
Blackwelrs island bridge in New
York, all these are considerably
longer, all of them being above 400
feet in length for single spans. And
the bridge across the Zambesi river
in Africa, is 400 feet high.
But when one takes a span Of

Trade, with the exceptions specihedin this
ordinance, can only be carried on in the
towns.
Under the business of a merchant is in
cluded all kinds Of trade whether on Il large
or a small scale. 4 merchant cannot,
however, deal in the medical goods, which
in accordance with the rules in force are re-
served for the apothecarios.
AS concerns the sale and the serving Of
spirituous,liquors the rules given thereon in
q separate ordinance will be applicable.
Apothecaries must take out burgher-briefs
as merchants.
The burgher~ brief as butcher gives the
right to deal in the fresh meat Of horned
cattle, hogs, sheep, game and turtles.
Ship-owning is regarded as included un-
der the burgher right for mercantile bust
ness, but is otherwise the subject Of separate
bureher right.
The Government can dispense from the
taking out Of burgher briefs and given grant
or license for a retail trade in hucksters'
goods, to men and unmarried women over
rs years Of age, also to widows, divorced and
deserted wives.
Such q grant gives the right to retail
Lueksters wares, which have been manufac-
tured or produced IN the place OF have been
bought Of the holder Of a merchants burgh-
er-brjof in the Danish West Indian Islands.
So.
Trade in dry goods and small wares by
itinerant sellers can only be carried
on in the towns and IN St. Jan, and
is conditional on thc seller having u sell
ing pass issued by the policema8ter con
cerned and valid for one month. The fee
for such selling pass is 5 Fr, which accrues
to the Colonial Treasury. Tho selling pass
shall be taken out by the holder OF q mer-
chants bnrgher brief in the place, and can
only be used by the seller whose name APP
pears on it, with which it must DO noticed
that only persons who are over 35 years Of
age or who by bodily weakness ara untitled
FIR other work, can be used as ltioerane
sellers.
No burgher brief or grant is required to
cari~ on in the towns a retail trade ia ones

g cakes, sYeetmeats, prepared food, nou-spirit
uous thinks egg, mix, fire wood and chut coal,

In the fixed market places in eoch town
there may be offered for sale besides the
above named articles, also meat pouity,
fresh buttcr and fresh fish, subject to thq
observance Of The orders given ia The Holy
Day Ordinances and the Police bylaws OF in
amy other way respecting market uatfIt.

brought iptoRAo towns FROM tie country,
there should alw VS. be found a PASS from
, 1909-01-27

This last rule, however, IS not applicable
where the provisions of a treaty give to the
subjects of a foreign country the same ac-
cess to establish themselves and to carry
on business as belongs to Danish natives.
Where militia, fire corps or the like are
organized. the person concerned must show
that in this regard he has fulfilled the duties
incumbent upOn him.
1t is a matter Of course, that the special
legal provisions in force for certain occupa-
tions must be followed on the granting Of o
burgher-brief for them.
The person who wishes to take out q
burgber-brief for any of the regulated oc-
equations, has to send in an application to
that effect addressed to the Government
aud forwarded to the PoIicemaster OF the
Jurisdiction, with information concerning
his nationality, age and place Of birth. The
Policemaster will have then to send in the
application accompanied with his statement.
In so far as the exercise of the trade in ques-
ton IS conditional on the production Of eyi-
dences of competency, proof that such have
been produced is to be enclosed.
Before the burgher-brief is issued the tax
fixed Tor the same must be paid.
Concerning the burgher briefs issued the
Government gives immediate information
to the Policemaster concerned in order that
the necessary entry may be made in the
Police registers.
So.
Burgher-briefs may be granted to Joint stock
companies, who are domiciled i'll the DANISH
West Indian Islands. Their bylaws should
be laid before the Government for approval
at the time the burgher- brief is requested.
If o trade under regulation is carried on
by several persons III partnership, each of
the partners shall take out a burgher-brief.
When, however, several persons own Jointly
o sugar-o proctor estate, a factory or a ship,
one only of the joint owners shall take out
q burgher brief.
With the exceptions stated in s II Of the
present ordinance, the burghor-brief taken
out entities the person concerned to carry
on his business or occupation IN chat island
only for which it is issued, and only
from one placa Of sale ON that island.
Should he intend te-earHL on LIS A4siIe4s
from more than one place Of sale in the same
island, the other rules given for obtaining
Burgher right for several different bus
inesses shall be applicable, 50, however, that

In order to obtain a burgher-brief or a
license it is required

1t is thoroughly drained throughout
by small branches and creeks, adj of
which are tributary to either the Trim
ity or the Neches river.
In the central part, where the physi-
ography is so broken and rugged, the
hills and plateau slopes are locally
slopes are so steep and stony that
only few of them can be cultivated
A common feature of the more
broken parts of the county is the
presence of numerous ferruginous
sandstones and large iron corrections,
which occur on the surface and
throughout much of the red clay sub
SOIL. These sandstones are formed by
the cementing action of iron dydrate
solution, which, on losing the carbon
dioXide, deposits iron around and be-
tween the sand grains, giving rise to
a true concentration whenever exposed
to the air.
Several miles west of Palestine a
considerable bed of limestone is
found. Near this limestone a deposit
of salt is worked with much success
by large factory, which manufac-
lures fine grade of table salt from
the beds. Outcrops of Ignite are
found in the county, and salt ticks are
quite numerous. A fair grade of
brick is made from the yellow sandy
clay, and it is used for that purpose
to some extent. The yellow clay
makes a splendid roabed through the
sandy areas.
The greensand mari of the Eocene
represents the Tertiary. as do also
certain beds of sands and clays A
conglomerate iron ore is quite often
encountered, consisting of mass of
pebbles and sand cemented by fer
ruginous matrix. This probably be-
longs to the Quaternary, which is also
represented by an everything deposit
of coarse, medium, and fine sands,
occurring over a considerable area of
the county, and often being several
feet in depth.
The soils are all derived from beds
of materials which were placed here
! in comparatively recent times, and
which have since been rewOrked and
/ reassorted by local agencies, chiefly
erosion. The original beds from
which the soils are derived are mostly
of marine origin, representing beach
/ deposits. The soils of the bottoms
bordering the rivers and other large
streams are, of course, of very recent
origin, being entirely alluvial, and
subject to overflow and continual adj
ditions. In the Trinity river bottom
are numerous lakes. varying in size
from a few acres to several hundred
acres. These lakes probably mark
an old river bed.

extra help to chop" or thin out his
cotton, the price paid by the day be-
ing from so cents to 81, with partial
board while hands employed by the
month are paid from $40 to SIS, with
board. Much extra labor is also re-
quired in the fall for cotton picking,
which is paid for according to the
amount picked The price varies from
so to 20 cents per 100 pounds, with
out board, depending greatly on the
market price of cotton and the avail
able supply of labor
The principal products of Anderson
county have been, for many years,
cotton, corn, oats, vegetables, fruit
and live stock Cotton was the only
product exported until a few years
ago, the corn, oats, vegetables, fruit
and live stock being all consumed or
utilized in the county. In recent
years, however, as has already been
stated, with the advantages of good
transportation facilities, the farmers,
where favorably located, have been
giving much of their attention to fruit
growing and truck raising. Many
peach orchards have been planted.
/ lie dIulldl value VI udll
consisting chiefly of milk and butter
consumed on the farm, is over $780,
900. A more extensive system of
dairying in the vicinity of the towns
would likely prove profitable. Large
quantities of tomatoes, Irish and
sweet potatoes, watermelons, canta-
loupes, onions, cabbage, peanuts. peas,
beans, cucumbers, etc, are being pro-
duced Some of these products are
shipped to distant markets. The
peaches grown are the Elbertas, Ma
mic Ross, and a few other varieties.
The fruit and trucking interests are
likely to increase every year, and it
is safe to say that a cannery would
prove profitable in this section. The
fruit and vegetables not available for
shipment could thus be saved with
profit. Even a small canning outfit,
such as is used by the Maryland
truckers, could be operated success
fully by the individual farmer, and is
being rapidly adopted
Sorghum does we'll on the upland
soils, producing as much as 100 gal
Ions of syrup per acre. The meadow
along the creeks is especially adapted
to sugar cane, producing large yields
of syrup. 1t is a profitable crop, the
syrup being manufactured by the
farmer.
Hogs and cattle are allowed to run
at large The hogs fatten readily on
acorns. with additional feeding of
cowpeas, corn and peanuts. The cat
tie do considerable grazing during the
winter, but are fed to some extent.
