COUNTY BRIDGE At
.UMATILLA FINISHED
ONLY STEEL GIRDER
BRIDGE IN COUNTY
Commissioner Walker Accepts Bridge
for County-Crew Goes to Hermis-
ton-New Bridge Is God-Send to
West End People.

The only steel girder bridge ever
built in Umatilla county was COM
pleted at Umatilla yesterday and was
accepted on behalf of the county by
Commissioner Horace Walker. The
bridge is $50 feet long and spans the
Umatilla river, short distance above
where trat stream empties into the
Columbia.
The huge girders which support
the bridge roadway without any su-
perstructure or under braces are 80
feet in length and rest on concrete
piers, IA in number and IA feet high.
Thse piers are imbedded into the SOL
i'd rock through which the stream
flows at that point. Owing to its
manner Of construction 1t will be ne
cessary for flood waters to reach the
floor of the bridge itself before it will
be possible for any damage to be sus-
tanned. The total cost OF the bridge
is $500.
The same crew of workers that put
in the Umatilla bridge was moved to
1t will be used in the erection of an
other steel bridge across the same
stream. This will be truss bridge and
will be 200 feet long.
The completion Of the bridge across
the river at -Umatilla is hailed with
delight by the residents of that town
as well as by the citizens Of the entire
west end Of this and the northwestern
part of Morrow county. In the past 1t
has been impossible for teams to cross
the river at all during high water and
during low water it was necessary to
make a long detour up the river in
order to reach the ford. Footmen
have used the railroad bridge to cross
the stream, but owing to the great
number Of trains crossing this struc-
ture day and night, it was dangerous
for people to cross on II.

NO SALOONS BEFORE
FIRST OF THE YEAR.
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF
STATE RENDERS DECISION
Rules That City Will Be Able to Ii
cense Saloons without Further Vote
Being Taken-Dry Towns Must
Hold Another Election.

Pendleton will probably not have
any saloons before the first Of the
year, according to opinions handed
down recently by Attorney General
Crawford. After that time, however,
the council can license saloons in this
city without any further vote being
taken on the proposition. In the
towns of the county where dry major
tiles were recorded 1t will be neces-
sary for the incorporated towns to
hold a second election before the
council can license saloons under the
Home Rule amendment. This spec
ial election can not be held before
April of next year.
In response to inquiries from L. w.
Baker, mayor Of Grass Valley. the At
torney general holds that a county
which is dry" and votes wet" will
became wet" January 1,1s11. Al
though there Is no specific statement
as to time in this respect the local
option law places January as the
time when a county shall become
dry in case it votes in favor OF pro-
hibition. 1t Is inferred from this that
the law would also work inversely.
The attorney general holds that the
home rule amendment will probably
take effect January l in the case of
a county and city voting wet" The
council can then proceed without an

Bank Men Lost Coats.

Nesmith Ankeny and Max Hopper,
of the First National bank, are now
in shape to have a fire sale. They
both lost coats in a small sized con-
flagration that occurred at the bank
this afternoon. The garments were
hung side by side in the rear Of the
bank. About o'clock smoke began
to pour forth from that vicinity and
the room became well filled before the
garments could be rescued. In the
opinion Of Mr.. Ankeny the fire may
have been started by matches that
were In his pocket.

BIG FUTURE FOR
ELECTRIC TRUCK
Studcbakcr Manager Declares Tint
Horse Must Go as Draft
Motive Power.

'The electric truck will do from two
TO three times the work of horse
drawn vehicle In a shorter working
day and at a less cost" says S. d
Reid. manager of the local Studebakcr
branch In addition to this, COM
mercial trucks are easier to operate
and occupy one-half the room in a
garage that horses and vehicles do in
stable. All of which Is a big Item
in the saving OF rent and the saving
In labor as to stable help In comparI-
son TO garage help.
Mercantile establishments all over
the country have recognized this dur
ing the last year. Many of the largest
concerns of this kind in the cities OF
New York, Philadelphia. Chicago. Buff
falo. Kansas City and St Louis
have entirely done away with their
horse and wagon equipment and sub
Stltuted the electric commercial truck
Experiments have proven beyond tho
slightest doubt that the electric truck
is one OF the greatest labor and time
saving adjuncts TO commercial houses
of all kinds. be they grocery stores,
department stores, laundrics or cx-
press companies.
IF a man should step into your
place of business and show you a plan
by which you could effect a saving of
from $1,000 to $4,000 per year by in
stalling n commercial truck delivery in
place of your horse and wagon method.
would 1t not be an Item worthy OF
your most careful consideration? This
Is actually what may be done with the
electric commercial vehicle and which
Is being done by many business houses
which during the past year have added
Studebaker electric trucks to their
equipment
while II may be said that the horse
will never cease entirely to be Of COM
mcrcial value I am firm in the belief
that his use Is becoming more and
more limited as the public becomes
educated to the electric commercial
vehicle. 1t Is a fact that in hundreds
of cases today the horse Is main
tained purely as luxury. This is the
handwriting on the wall which he
who runs may read"

CULLED FROM M THE STATE PRESS
UNCLE JESSE MEANS BUSINESS.

Bravo, the county commissioners
granted the interurban franchise.
They VIII have tho support of the
people In Utah county.
1t means n new era of development
Resources which have been allowed to
lie dormant for lack OF transportation
facilities, will be brought to use, every
body in tho county will be more OF less
benefited.
The franchise was granted to Uncle
JesSo Knight. This Is well. No one Is
better able and moro willing TO assist
In the development OF the county. This
Is a fact. His enterprises are many.
His acts for the good OF the state are
hundred-fold.
He says that he Will start work on
an intcrurban system as soon as the
franchises are granted In the towns
which he expects to benefit. People
believe what he says. He is sincere in
his statements. Few people doubt him
Those who doubt may take a glance
at tho $4,000 bond which he offers to
place in all towns In the county. Surely
no man would back his words with
$4,000 OF surety II he did not mean
to carry out the contract Of the fran
chise. Besides, Mr.. Knights word Is
good. Every business man will back
up this statement and this is a con-
siderable consideration in any man.
Ills plsLn l6 one OF Deneill ana con-
sideration for the people. 1t Is not
wholly q speculative movement Can
all applicants for franchises say a5
much?
The county commissioners have
granted the franchise of the county
roads to Mr.. Knight. This Is all the
more reason why the cities should con-
slider his application with favor. 1t
would be folly at this time for some
overly cautious councilmen to block
an enterprise which Will have so much
to do with the progressive movement
OF the country.
The people of entire Utah realize the
value Of the interurban system. It Is
the commencement OF more speedy
plans for resource reclamation. The
state of Utah wants tho Improvement,
Utah county wants it, the cities want
II, and the people demand favorable
action on the part of their representa-
tives

You know will make good. Uncle Jesse

Blame of Auto Smoke Nuisance
Belongs to the Manufactu, ers

system Is faulty In that the operator

For years We have used on Buick

Is that there Is no reason for a Buick

the operators control is absolute As
each cylinder Is fired. the splnsher on

YOUNGER AS YEARS WENT BY.
Eliot of Harvard "old Man" in Youth and "CharIie" in His Sedate

"There is a certain story" said President Eliot of Harvard, at liar yard dinner in Baltimore, that is al ways told by some speaker at every dinner attend, and if you will pardon me l will take this opportunity to tell it right, so all may have an equal chance at it hereafter.
 When I was twenty years old and tutor in mathematics and special student in chemistry at Harvard was a proctor in one of the halls. One night I heard a disturbance and hur- ried down to see what was happening. There were no lights in those days, and as I moved about among the dis turbers I heard them say: Look out, or old Eliot will catch us.'
 Now, not long ago, when 1 was we'll past seventy, I was going from Cambridge to Boston one night about II o'clock. and I met party of stu dents returning from Boston to Cam bridge. They recognized me and asked among themselves: Where the devil is Charlie going at this time, do you suppose?'"
