 For years this span has been the longest cantilever bridge in the world, but the great weight of the type of engines now in use has made the bridge unsafe, and for eight months engineers have been constructing a pier in the center of the river to divide the strain.
 No engines will be permitted on the bridge until the task of cutting the steel is completed This will take sev- eral days. Meanwhile, trains will be showed across by engines behind long trains of flat cars in order to avoid putting the weight of the engines on the bridge until it can be repaired

(. M. Co. Restoring
 Great Alfalfa Ranch

Fl Centro, July 21-For more than a month now, men employed by the California Mexico Land and Cattle company have been engaged in -trri- gating the great alfalfa fields of the company below the international line, and they have not yet completed their mammoth task.
 Probably the greatest alfalfa ranch in the world is located on this land. About 5000 acres are given over to producing hay for the large number of stock kept on this ranch. When the in surrecto troubles were at their height and operation of the ranch was made difficult because of the daily depredations of the rebels, the ranch company finally abandoned all work, withdrew it's employees and shut off the irrigation water.
 Now the company is attempting to restore the fields to living green, and while the alfalfa in some places is al most dead, it is believed that most of it will revive and will make a late summer crop.
 More than 100 men are now employ ed on the company's lands below the line and ranch work is again in full sway.
