Build Big Bridge.

On the outskirts of the city of Sac
ramento, California, the Southern Pa
ciic company is erecting a steel bridge
across the Sacramento river that con-
tains the heaviest swing span of any
bridge in the world. This span is AGO
feet in length and its weight is G, $780,
900 pounds. The entire bridge, how
ever, will weigh more than 10, 900, 900
pounds when it has all been placed in
position upon the heavy concrete piers.
There are only two steel bridges in
world that have swing spans that ex-
coed the new Sacramento river bridge
in length. One is across the Villa
mette river and is a part of the Spo-
kane, Portland and Seattle railway
system. Its weight, however, is only
5,4O0, 600 pounds, 900, 900 pounds less
than that of the Sacramento river
bridge. The Omaha. Terminal company
operates a large steel bridge across the
Missouri river that has a swing spar
$40 feet in length, but the steel is O.
much lighter construction, the weight
being only 5, 100, eco ponds.

A Safe Proceeding.

Lord Lyons, English minister at
Washington during the war between
the states. and afterward ambassador
to France, was a diplomatist to the
core. He was exceedingly tactful in
action and had the rare art of keeping
his own counsel. When Sir Edward
Blount called upon him one day at
the embassy In Paris he found that a
well known journalist had preceded
him. The visitor was laying down the
law In a loud tone, and when, after his
departure, Sir Edward was received
he took the liberty of saying:
MAY, I be allowed to ask if it is
quite wise to discuss state secrets in
such q loud tone? I heard every word
that was said, my lord, as I sat in the
anteroom."
"Ahl" said Lord Lyons. But even
then you could not hear what I said.

A Gift With a Thought in It.

What other Christmas present costs
so little and means SO much as a sub
scription to The Youths Companion
81 weeks for SITS? 1t is a gift which
benefits not only the one who receives
it, but every member of the same
household.
With many Christmas presents the
sense of novelty wears off by the
weeks end, but The Youths Compan-
ion is as new and sought after the
ifty-second week of the year as the
first. 1t is elastic in its adaptability,
too; for it does not matter whether the
present is for a boy or a girl, young
married people, sedate couples, grand
parents-there never was one yet who
did not set store by The Youths Con-
panion. You cannot make a mistake
if you give the Companion--and it is
only s1.75 a year now. On January l,
1912, the price viii be advanced to 81.
The one to whom you give the sub
scription will receive free The Com
panion's Calendar for 1912, autographed
in ten coIors and gold, and you, too, as
giver of the subscription, will receive
a copy of the Calendar.

New Output Of an Old Camp.

eff we only had transportation" is
the cry so persistent and so general
from the mining districts that it has
about lost all meaning and force, it is
to be feared. But here is an item from
Saturdays Butte Miner: "Since the
completion of the Gilmore & Pittsburg
railway in Lemhi county, Idaho, two
mines have shipped more than 81, 000,-
900 worth of lead-silver ore. There are
no mills in the camp and mining appli-
ances are of the simplest character.
The veins are nearly vertical assures
in lime, developed now to 500 feet.
They contain ore bodies 20 to 80 feet
thick. The formation is dry at the
deegest point yet attained, and the
ores all occur in carbonate form. The
Pittsburg-Idaho and Latest Out are the
principal shippers. They are sending
1000 to 1000 tons of ore monthly to
Salt Lake City shelters. The district
is mineralized over a large area and
contains three other occasional ship
pers."
Who knows what similar new and
clean wealth there is back in the Idaho
hills, and in other hills, which the faith
full pioneer has been holding to, open
ing and exploring all these years, wait
ing for the magic wand of Transports
ton to make his hopes a reality? The
Gilmore camp is only a type of a dozer

Ancient Stone Workers.

Egyptian stone workers 1000 years
ago had a surprising knowledge Of
what are considered modern TOOLS
These pyramid builders operated with
solid and tubular drills and straight
and circular saws. In handling the
tubular drills, which were of superior
quality, the skill Of the artisan was
so remarkable that the cutting marks
in granite show no indication Of wear
of the tool, while a cut Of a tenth Of
an inch was made in the hardest rock
at each revolution. A hole through
both hard and soft material was bored
perfectly smooth and uniform.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS.

A venerable physician of Indianap-
oils dug up an old household men,
orandum book the other day, while he
was rummaging around in his garret.
His wife had kept her accounts in it
when they were first married, forty
or fifty years ago. AS he looked over
ii his jaws came apart, and he nearly
had fit. The prices of groceries
and meat and such things, as set down
in that book, when compared with the
prices of the present time, were
enough to make man send in riot
call to the police station.
The grand old doctor carried his
note book to the office of the Daily
News, and the editor read it and made
a story of it. Think of buying a
dressed chicken for 15 cents! Think
of buying large cured ahm for s1.5O!
The doctor used to do it in the halcyon
days when he began housekeeping
When he considered such figures, and
then looked at the last bills he re-
ceived from the grocery and meat
market, he felt like resorting to vio-
lence.
But the doctor failed to make due
allowance for the fact that If the
butcher and grocers get more for
their wares nowadays, so do the ply
sicians. People usually forget such
things when bewailing the grand old
days. If that fine old gentleman had
the usual experience of the doctors
of fifty years ago, he must know that
a dollar then looked as big to him
as Ferris wheel. He probably had
to make long journeys intc the coun-
try to earn few of his dollars, and
then wait year or two before he got
them. Doctors, like editors and many
others, had to take out good share
of their earnings in trade, and the
sight of real money was unusual. The
average doctor of today can afford
to pay $40 for ham better than his
grandfather could afford to pay $3.50.
Everything we eat and wear costs
n great deal more than it used to cost
when the world was young and happy,
but our earning capacity has increased
correspondingly, and so there's really
no kick coming.-Emporia Gazette.

HAD NARROW ESCAPE
ON SUNDAY NIGHT

The train was ON time Sunday even
ing until it came in contact with .
rock on the track about mile the
other side of Needleton that did con-
siderable mischief. Speeding along at
n fair rate the track suddenly appear
ed to get very rough and after several
severe bumps, so quick that no one
had time to realize what was hap
pening, the train came to a stop. Upon
investigation the engine and tender
was found to have left the track and
was partly imbedded in the side of
the hill. The place ut which this ac-
cident occurred was most precipitous
on one side less than two feet from
the track the embankment went
straight down into the river, while
on the other it rose almost straight
up. Providence apparently had fur
ther work for those on board to do
in this world, for the engine plunged
to the upper side and thus probable
disaster for all on board was averted.
Had the engine turned the other
way it is unlikely that any of those
OH board would have survived the oc-
casion.
Superintendent Maris of the San
Juan Water and Power company was
on board, as is usual when there is
trouble, (not meaning that he is
he odoo) and he Immediately went to
Needleton and made connection oyor
the power line, which was used 10 get
the Silverton Northern train to come
from Silverton and bring the pasasn-
gers and baggage to town. 1t was
about twelve when the belated travel
ers reached their destination. During
the trip from Needleton to Silverton
the connection between the engine and
tn passenger coach gave way, and ev-
eryone on board being ittla MIR
vous, moved rather suddenly in ex-
pectation of further disaster.
1t is beyond understanding the ac-
cidents that from time to time have
happened on this piece of road with
out serious injury to any of the pas
sengers.
The work train from Durango clear
ed up the track and made repairs dur
ing the night and the eastern went out
as usual on Monday morning Silver

LEGACIEs TO ANIMALS.

Mr.. Virgil NJ. Harris, in his recent
cook, Ancient, Curious, and Famous
Wills" gives these instances of er-
sons who left legueies to animals:
Lord Chesterfield left sum for the
support Of his favorite cat, and 50 did
Frederick Harpartcr, who settled 100
pounds sterling, invested in 8 per cent
nnuities on his young black cat"
the interest to be paid to his house
keeper, Mrs. Hodges, as long as the
cat should live.
Thomas Emmett, an Englshmnn
who died in October, 1871, drew
codicil to his will, made in 1861, as
follows:
IL bequeath to my faithful servant,
Elizabeth Osborne, on condition that
she take care of my favorite dog, an
annuity Of 80 pounds for her liGa, to
be paid to her quarterly"
Emmett had, when he made the will,
a favorite dog named Romp, which
died before him. Subsequently he had
another favorite dog named Sambo,
which was in his possession when he
died. Elizabeth Osborne had taken
care Of both, and claimed the an
nuity on that ground, and the vice
chancellor held that she was entitled
to it, whether or not she care for
Sambo.
An Englishman named Berkeley, a
man of fortune, who died May s, 1906,
at Knightsbridge, left % pounds to
four of his dogs, and when friend
demonstrated with him, pointing out
that he might better leave the money
to needy fellow men, he replied: "Men
have attempted my life, whereas it
was to dog that l owe that | am
alive"
Berkeley, in travelling through parts
of France and Italy, had been beset
by brigands and saved by his dog.
The four he pensioned were descend
ants Of that animal, and he entered
in his will into minute particulars as
to how the money should've disburscd.
Jonathan Jackson of Columbus, O.,
who died thirty years ago, left orders
to his executors TO erect a cats home,
the plans and specifications for which
he had prepared with great care. The
building was to contain dormitories, a
large dining hall, areas for conversa-
ton, grounds for exercise and gent
ly sloping roofs for climbing, rat
holes for sport, an auditorium where

ing the nearest approach to their nat

for an infirmary, with three trained
