Canadian Firm Won.

After competition with German, Eng
lish and American firms the contract was
let to the Canadian Bridge Company, a
tons, for the superstructure at $3.50 600.
This, with the contract of the substitute
ture makes the total cost of the bridge
S12,OOO,OOO. An official description OF
the structure, furnished by the minister
of railways and canals to parliament, Is
as follows:
The design which has been adopted
will have K webb system in the canta-
lever and anchor arms. The suspended
span is a modified Pratt type The
length of the center span is to be 1880
feet. Teh total length of the structure is
3,22S feet, or about three-f ifths of a mile.
The suspended span is go feet long, 11o
feet deep at the center and 20 feet at
each end. The cantalever arms are so
feet long. 20 feet deep at each end, and
$40 feet high over the main post. The
anchor arms are 500 feet long. The
width of the bridge between the trusses
is SIS feet The bridge will be $50 feet
above high water. The depth of the the
water in the center Of the river is 40
feet. All members in the anchor arms
and those Immediately over the main
pier, we'll as the floor arms. will be
built of carbon steel. The cantalever arm
nickel steel The piers are to be built
of cement concrete below water. and
granite faced masonry filed with cement
above water. The abutments are to be
made Of granite masonry. Each caisson
will be sixty-five feet long and sixty feet
wide. The bridge will accommodate
double track railway. and will have a
four-f foot sidewalk on each side for foot
passengers. There will be over 100000
cubic yards of masonry in the piers and
ahutments. The weight of the steel in
the upper structure is estimated at lHo,-

Naval Engineering Bureau

The naval engineering bureau Is con-
templating the construction of vessel
equipped with gas-producer engines,
which 1t is claimed, as means OF pro-
p,llsicn. are as far superior to turbines
as tn. latter were to the old type of the
reciprocating engines. It all depends
upon the willingness of the private
makers of gas engines to cooperate with
the shipbuilders Owing to the lack Of
funds for experimental purposes. the
Navy Department is obliged to rely upon
private builders Of ships and machinery
to carry out any novel idea such as this
Gas Engines Included.
It is proposed to invite bids for the con-
struction of a submarine boat tender. a
vessel probably less than 1000 tons dis
placement, and the bidders will be in
vited to submit proposals for placing
gas engines in the ship. the gas to be
supplied by a system Of retorts somewhat
like those of city gas works. Thus the
gas from the coal will be turned directly
into power in the engine instead Of being
consumed to produce steam Wonderful
economies in cost OF operation are claimed
for the new system. which Is now being
tried out in a small way In Germany and
England.
Difficulty Experienced.
The principal engineering difficulty to
be overcome is to keep the large cylin-
ders OF the engine necessary to drive
ship OF any size at q temperature low
enough to prevent the destruction OF the
engines or their stoppage. So far the
largest engines yet constructed are OF
1idiculously small power compared with
The liant turbines Of modern battleships.

more Spanish than Moorish. 1t is
quite a sophisticated place, with a
large trade and considerable Euro
pean colony, of late years much aug
mented in the winter by tourists. For
some reason the surrounding country
is much safer than even the country
about Tangier, in plain sight of the
lights of Gibraltar. This fact, together
with its climate and the splendid
shooting to be had, have made 1t
favorite rendezvous for sportsmen. OF
late years it has lost much of its
trade, owing to the completion of the
French railway to Timbuctoo; before
that scores of caravans, some Of them
thousands of camels strong, left Moga-
dor every year for the markets of the
southern Sahara, but now the trade
goes prosaically in freight cars from

he Moroccan coast extends, ap-
proximately, as far south as
Cape JUDY, almost parallel
with Las Palmas; at least you
will find 1t neatly ruled off
there on the map. In reality the from
tier is a nebulous, shifting affair, that
shades off imperceptibly throughout
hundred miles, or more, of desert,
merging into that equally nebulous
region known as the French Sphere OF
Influence. This southern border is
the country Of the Touaregs, those
wild marauders of the desert, who
rove over a tract of the continent half
as large as the whole United States.
A race of pure nomads, without gov
ernment, without cities, or crops, or
agriculture of any kind, these Touar-
egs, said by ethnologists to be entire
ly distinct from both Arab or negro,
are part of that strange, secret en-
pire of northern Africa, the fanatical.
underground empire of the Moham-
medan sect known as the Senoussi.
An intangible, mysterious affair is
this secret league, impalpable as the
air, yet welding an enormous power
that makes It the strongest bulwark
Africa puts up to protect itself from
the march of European civilization.
Just south of Cape JUDY, where the
Sahara turns the flank of the protect
ing spurs of the Atlas range, is the
place where Fax Lebaudy, the son of
Frances sugar king" tried to estab-
lish his Empire of the Sahara" with
his court, composed of the frail favor
ties of Partisan dance halls, and his
army made up of French ragamufins,
officered by the discard of European
society. Mogador, the first port of
call, Is apt to be disappointment to
those dreaming of the Arabian Nights
and expecting to be landed among
roses, oases and odalisques. In any
oriental port much must be allowed
for oriental imagery, but Mogador is
hardly more eastern in appearance
than Las Palmas, just mass of white
houses on land-locked bay.
This bay is deceptive in its placid
ity, all along the coast it is understood
that steamer landings are to be made
surf permitting" and Mogador is nc
exception; 1t is all right once you are
inside, but first there is the bar to be
negotiated.
There is legend in Mogador, also
to be met with in every other port at

WILL SAVE STATE MORE MONEY

Corvallis-Predction is made by
Prof E. l.. Potter of the animal hus-
bandry department of the Oregon
Agricultural College, who is also Sec
retary of the new state stallion IL
cense board, that the operation of the
new stallion law will save the horse
men of the state many thousands OF
dollars.
IF we had had the law before it
would have saved some $4,000 or
$4,000 to the horsemen of the state
on the price of animals sold them as
pure-bred under bogus certificates
said Professor Potter recently, dis
cussing the results to be expected.
1T is probable that $1,000 more was
paid apiece for the dozen stations
with unsatisfactory pedigrees for
whom we have received requests for
licenses, than if true statement Of
their breeding had been given at time
of sale.
I'VE have thus far had applications
from about 400 stallion owners, which
is probably not much over half the
number of stations owned at present
in Oregon. The greater number have
come from Wallowa county, though
many have come in. from Marion,
Douglas, Baker, and other parts OF
the state. We take these applica.
tions as an evidence of good faith Oh
the part of the breeders, and they
will not, of course, be prevented from,
using their stations between the fill.
ing of the application and the issu-
ance of the license. The heavy cor
respondence regarding applications,
and the work of classifying and fill
ing them, occupies us at present, but
when that is done we will begin issu-
ing the licenses.
Besides correcting the present
practice of some horsemen of selling
and using stations having bogus pedi-
grees, the new law will do much TO
raise the standard of soundness, and
thus improve the stock of the future.
The future saving to horsemen OF
Oregon on these two points will be
more than the entire cost of inspec-
ton and registration, to say nothing
of the prevention of the use of stall
lions as sound which have diseases
or constitutional weaknesses liable
to affect the offspring"
