SAVES
MUCH MONEY
ON BRIDGES
SHORTENING THE LENGTH

HELPED IN EcoNOMIZING.

According to figures submitted to
the county commissioners by
County Engineer A. r. Scott, $56o5

on bridge expense by reason of the
shortening Of bridges by means Of
numerous fills.
During the three years Engineer
Scott has been in office 1903 feet
Of bridging his been taken from the
total of 20,317 in this county, which,
in maintenance and replacing,
means a saving to the county of
over $4,000 annually.
According to the yearly report,
there are 206 bridges in the county
over 20 feet in length. Of these, 10
are steel truss bridges, eight of
which have been built since 1907;
10 are combination truss, seven of
which have been built since 1907;
and % are wooden truss, four of
them being erected since 1907.
Twenty-eight bridges were built
in 1909, at a total cost of 15,803.27.
The largest bridge was erected I'M
der the administration of the old
board of commissioners on Pasa-
dena road, at a cost of $669S. Re-
pairs on bridges cost $1302.76 in
1909.
There are bridges under construc-
ton at the present time which will
cost $24,535.70. The Trent bridge,
which is being erected at a cost of
$4,000, is the largest bridge
erected in several years.

longing to visit his native home, to
touch for perhaps the last time the
land of the enslaved peasantry, for
whom he had struggled so long,
drove him at last to tread once
more on Russian soil. After stay
ing there but long enough to re-
kindle the flames of his youths
friendships, he prepared to depart,
and was at the railway station on
his way to England when the
clutches of the car fastened upon

Without explanation as to the,
cause of the arrest, the aged pat
riot was thrown into the fortress
of Saint Peter and Paul, and there
he lay for over eleven months,
denied legal help or communica-
ton with his friends. At last the
storm of protests from America
and Great Britain overwhelmed;
the Russian government and
Tschaikowski was released on al

A few months later he was again
arrested and again confined in the
bastile of st. Petersburg, where
also lay his fellow patriot, Mmet

TheseAre Good Pianos
But the Price Is Low

We are offering the greatest bar
gains in good pianos for little
money that you will see again for
long time.
Never before have we purchased
pianos SO cheapIy as we purchased
the stock of the Lucore Piano Co.
It never was the Eilers plan to
take all the advantage of their
money saving methods; our plan is
cooperative one-that's the Sc
cret Of our success.
In this particular case we are Of
ferins you by far the biggest share
of the saving. We need the room
and are glad to give you every ben
Eft Of this advantageous purchase.
We have brought from the ware
house the last lot of these pianos,
including some very beautiful
styles which he had not room to
display heretofore. We actually be-
lieve the bargains are more attrac-
tive than ever.
You take no risk whatever when
you buy a Steger, Nelson, Hoffman,
Cable-Nelson or other Of this stock,
and you can now buy them brand
new for about one-haif the regular
priceless than you could buy the
same instrument for second hand.
. The 1925 styles are selling at
sos; the $500 styles at $168; the
$3.50 styles at $187; the $500 styles
at $198 and magnificent art styles
worth $500 to $500 as low a. $3.50.
Terms are more than easy. On
the cheaper styles pay $40 down
and IS month and a proportion
ately larger amount on the higher
priced ones.
/ You have long wanted a piano;
you owe II to your home; your chill
dren need il. There is no excuse
now in the matter of price and
terms, and our money back guaran-
tee protects you against disappoint-
ment.

Fifteen years of bitter cold anu

Siberia could not silence her voice
nor bind her hands when she re-

England; she went again into the

for two years she has waited and
