NEW BRIDGE FOR
TROY ARRIVES
BIG STEEL STRUCTURE BEING
HAULED BY JOE
MELoTTE.

The new steel bridge for the
Grande Ronde river at Troy will soon
be on the ground there and erected.
The bridge was unloaded, beginning
Monday morning, and the contract
for hauling it was awarded Joe Me
lotte. A force of men and teams was
employed both for the unloading
and the hauling of the structure in
sections to the place of erection.
Completed August I. /
According to the contract the
bridge must be completed over the
river at Troy by August /. In an
interview with Judge J. B. Olmsted
that official stated that there was
no doubt that the work would be
completed within the contract time.
The contract calls for bridge of
the following dimensions: That it
be constructed with one continuous
span of Us feet with two approaches
one of the latter being 10 and the
other 76 feet. The bridge span of
175 feet specifies pin center length
The bridge will rest upon four cylin-
der piers filled with concrete, and
the whole bridge provides a road
way of 16 feet. Aside from the ap-
proaches the bridge is of steel
throughout.
The erection Of this bridge at
Troy connects Enterprise with a
large stretch of good country, and
aside from the convenience afforded
by it will prove of great benefit fl
nancially to the county seat by let
ting in the products of the country
beyond Troy.
The total weight of the bridge is
SO tons. The contract price for haul
ing it is $1.50 a hundred.

get off. as well as others on the dock.
1t Is we'll to remember that there are
others eager to greet homecomers.
Incidentally those waiting should bear
in mind that however appTeciative the
returning person may be Of the welcome,
the fact remains that family and friends
are sometimes in the way while luggage
is being inspected by customs OfncIals,
and it is by no means easy for q traveller
to have her mini in condition to answer
questions that may be asked by the in
spector while IA friend is telling the latest
goss p asking innumerable questions.
After the first greetings, when friends
come down the Sangway, it is well TO
stand aside and wait. 1t takes all the
travellers attention to know whether her
trunks have come over the SHIPS SIDE
and whether the porter is taking them to
the proper place for inspection. If there
is any delay IN this proceeding it means
waiting an extra length of time to
straighten the matter. and no person who
has this in mind cares to be interrupted
until all is completed.
So not until trunks have been relocked
and labeled to go out should those who
have gone TO meet travellers be expected
to receive much attention.

Meeting the Friends.

Women should realize when they so
10 meet friends at the dock on their re-
turn from Europe that unless extra heavy
clothing Is worn, chill follows inevitably.
However balmy the weather may be up
town or in the country, on a dock where
the wind sweeps from all directions any
one will feel cold; SO the safest way Is to
provide against discomfort and take an
extra coat or wrap and put 1t on when
occasion requires.
A most important point in regard to
meeting incoming ships is to have DOCK
pass issued by the custom house. Never
q ship comes N but that some d-sappoint-
ed friend stands outside the dock gates
unable to get in because she has no pass
No dificulty is experienced In getting
such a pass by applying at the custom
house, where they are issued gratis. one
or two days before the vessel arrives.
1t may seem odd, but think II Is neces-
sary to remind persons going to a dock to
be polite, for not infrequently an undue
amount of pushing Is done by those who
are eagerly looking for friends or mem
bers of the family to come down the
gangxay. Enconsciously the crowd surges

are beautiful, cobwebby and silky. Nat
urally, too, they drape more gracefully

The border of such a lace veil SO ar
ranged is apt to be bulky at the point
under the chin where it is knotted. Again,
the flowing arrangement of such yelling
is equally successful. as ti4e veil falls into
soft folds about the shoulders.
The surface is in crinkly effect--crack-

ders are both simple and elaborate. Some
are of lace applique, while others show
pretty designs wrought with trimmings of
white floss silk. The latter is light and
graceful in effect, but the applique is
handsome.
The cotton lace veil will be worn this
summer as well as the six ones, and
pretty new designs are to b9 seen among
them. The dots are placed a. little closer
together than they were last year, and
the borders, though heavier. are not so
wide. Consequently. the designs do not
cover the face Tor very little of it,. so
the veil is more becoming.
These wash cotton wells come in prices
from 80 cents up in the stores.
The newest Yelling that conaeS by the
yard is the spider mesh and the new oc-
tagon effect. Black SPIDER mesh tsilk) is
considered smart and may be more gen.
orally becoming than the octagon. That
is, the features are less clearly defined
through the spider mesh.
The octaeon mesh in q large weave
worn by certain women has tendency to
coarsen features naturally refined.
