COMMISSION To DECIDE
ON STYLE Of new BRIDGE
Mayor and Council Invited to Portland Where They
Will Inspect New Bridge Over Willamette River.

tower type of bridge, is now ap-
plying to the Tacoma commission
for a similar position in this city,
in connection with the construc-
ton of the waterway bridge. Mr..
Waddell owns certain patents on
the tower bridge, and advocates
its construction at every oppor-
tunity.
Competition Spirited.
Recently Mayor Fawcett and
the commission went to Vancou-
yer, b. c., to witness an operating
test of the new Trunnion bridge
just completed there, of which Mr..
Waddell was the consulting engi-
neer. Unfortunately a mishap oc-
CURED, and the moving span fell
some ten feet when being lowered
onto its support at the far end.
A trunnion bridge, it should be
stated, has a span which re-
wolves vertically in the segment
of circle, upon giant axle.
Presumably this bridge has been
put in better condition since.
There seems to be a disposition
among members of the Tacoma
commission to adopt the Bascule
type of bridge, which is now in
successful operation in all the
larger cities of the United States,
and which is rapidly replacing
bridges of an older type, including
swing bridges.
There will probably be a num-
Der of bidders who will present
different Bascule designs for the
consideration of the Tacoma COM
mission, and the contest for the
final award of the contract prom
ises to be spirited. Just when the
commission will make this award
is as yet uncertain, the bonds not
yet having been advertised for
sale. Some action will, however,
be taken at a very early date, as
1t is known that the present Elev-
enth street bridge is in anything
but safe condition.

COVE RNORS HAVE
HIGH OLD TIME

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Nov. So
The governors of the various
states gathered here to discuss
uniform divorce laws, conserva-
ton and other topics, arrived here
from Frankfort today, where the
opening sessions were held. The
governors plunged at once into a
round of receptions and banquets
which promise to be even more
strenuous than those prepared for
them at Frankfort.
Some of the western governors
have expressed disgust with the
meeting so far and have been won
dering why they came. Instead of
discussing the matters mapped out
for the conference, the governors
in attendance have been too ac-
lively engaged in social duties to
heed the call of the program.

May Be Measured by Means OF an
Ordinary Thermometer.
Heights of mountains or Of airships
can be measured by means of an ordi-
nary thermometer The greater the
pressure of the atmosphere on the sur
face of water the greater temperature
it takes to boil it. As we rise in the
air less and less pressure of the air
occurs. and water will boil at Il lower
temperature than 100 degrees G. (212
degrees F.. 1t has been figured out
that for a few miles up for every
thousand feet of ascent water will
boil a degree lower Thus If at the
bottom of a mountain water boils at
80 degrees c. 21O.2 degrees F. and at

In govergmnent and other scientific

are used. They are long, so that the

the work is termed thermobarome-
ter, or hypsometer. 1t consists of a
small metallic vessel for boiling wa
ter, on the inside of which are placed
these delicate thermometers. Ganot

ALFALFA RULES.

Doctor Beal OF the Michigan sta
lion. in an address not long ago. laid
down the following ten rules as neces-
sary to make growth of alfalfa for a
period OF ten years or more:
I. Select land that is deeply drained.
Swampy lands or soils in which the
hard pan comes very close to the sur
face will not make proper place for
alfalfa.
?. Prepare the land as for a crop of
wheat
3. II the soil is not alkaline. apply
air Stacked lime.
4. Sow about four pounds of good
clean seed to the acre at the time of
corn planting. or else early in August.
If the soil is moist then.
5. With alfalfa seed sow orchard
grass or tall oat grass. about a peck
each TO the acre. Excellent results
may also be obtained by adding two
pounds Of timothy seed.
6. Under no circumstances should a
so-called nurse crop be sown.
Z. II nodules are not produced on
the roots. inoculate with soil contain
ing them.
s. Clip young growth from one to
three times.
Q. Cut when a few plants of alfalfa
are first in bloom.
TO- Leave a moderate growth in the
fall as a mulch.

WINDMILL is VALUABLE AID
Helps Out During Periods Of Drought
Small Fruits Do Better " Given
Water Occasionally.

While it is possible to produce much
garden truck and raise some trees
without irrigation. there is still
great field for windmill irrigation In
helping out during periods Of drought.
This will increase the yield of many
products. and make possible the
growing of some favorite fruits. orna-
mental trees. and vegetables which
succeed but poorly without irrigation
Fruits and vegetables which succeed
at all without irrigation are those
making their crops during the season
of the year when rainfall is usually
abundant Thus, the plants which
make their yields before July is have
a much better chance for success than
those maturing after July is. OF the
fruits, cherries. plums and gooseber-
ries usually bear good crops without
irrigation. but they would be helped
by an irrigation occasionally when
the rain does not come at the right
time. But apples. peaches. apricots.
grapes. strawberries. blackberries and
raspberries so often need water when
no rain falls that there is seldom q
year that those fruits do not need
one or more irrigations in order to
produce fruit The trees and vines
may be grown without irrigation. but
when they begin bearing they occa-
sionally need extra water. Small
fruit. generally. will do better If
given extra water occasionally.
The beginner is likely to plan to ir-
rigate much more land than his mill
can furnish water for. So. one should
begin by watering few square rods.
and the area can be extended as
experience is gained. Those who
have been most successful with wind
mill irrigation have irrigated about
one-tenth of an acre the first year.
and have added to their gardens as
they were able to water larger
areas.
