Attorney General Wickersham, to APP
prove the plans of the Northern Pacific
to reconstruct the railroad bridge across
St. Louis river between Superior and
Duluth, making it only railroad brid ge
without provision for vehicles or foot
passage. The secretary of war was re
Gently memorialized by the chamber of
commerce of Duluth and Superior urging
that when this bridge is reconstructed
provision be made by the railroad com
pany for passage of vehicles and
foot passengers. After consultation
with the attorney general, however,
the acting secretary of war is adj
vised that he has no power TO compel
the railroad company to provide ade-
Quate facilities for vehicles and foot pas
