the most unusual feature Of the dc

the most unusual feature of the de-
sign, is 40 feet in height. 1t was
made necessary by the fact there is
no natural supporting ground on that
side OF the river. On account of this
peculiar condition the springing line
OF the 120-foot arch is about 65 feet
above the rock foundation to provide
an abutment, to carry the slope line
OF the stress from the first named
line to the rock. Thus. each of the
four arch ribs is carried separately
down to the base of the abutment,
in such shape that the center line
from the thrust will always keep
within the middle third. All the
arches were analysed on the elias
tic theory.
Walls are Reinforced
The north retaining wall consists
of a high and thin reinforced con-
crete face slab, counterforted on the
inside with triangular-shaped but
treases, which are anchored with
rods into the solid rock Bed rock,

to ordinary laborers and the regular
scale to the skilled workers. The
city bought all the materials used on
the structure in the open market,
and thus saved a large item of the
usual expense of municipal work by

be passed upon less than third of
the vote of the city was cast during
the forenoon.
1t is evident that many citizens have
regarded the voting of water bonds
as an assured fact and have not taken
the interest they would otherwise
have manifested in the election. The
fact that city officials are not being
chosen also tends to detract from the
contest.

Ballots Are o. h.
During the forenoon some interest
was aroused when E. W. McComas
spread the declaration that there was
an error in the color of the sample
ballots and that he would protest the
election on this ground and upon the
further ground that the voters had
not been registered
According to City Attorney Raley
the ballots, both sample and official,
are in compliance with the law. The
law specifics that for all elections
other than for making primary nomi-
nations the official ballot shall be
white and the sample ballot of some
other color. At the primary nomi-
mating elections the republicans use
white ballots and the democrats yell
low and in consequence it is requir-
ed that the sample ballots be of COL
ors other than white or yellow. No
such requirements apply to elections
such as the one held today and so
the city attorney says there can be
nothing to the alleged protest. The
McComas story is regarded as an ell
ectior canard of doubtful usefulness
to the perpetrator.
City Attorney Raley also declares
he IS thoroughly satisfied he is cor
rect in his opinion as to the registra-
ton of voters, He has ruled that the
registration of voters is not neces-
sary at a special election.

Refused to Be Held Up

Can't say how true this tale may be, but this was the tale that was told unto "we." Thursday morn ing about 4 o'clock two Mexicans attempted to hold up the "Chero. kee Kid" Tbe would-be robbers had no weapons, but used cobble stones to enforce their demands. The "Kid" immediately got his trusty revolver into action and the bandits broke for the tall timber. Jess Franklin, near whose house the shooting occurred, says that one of the bullets penetrated his dwelling, coming close to the couch whereon he was peacefully slumber- ing. Jess also says that he heard cries of pain just after the fusillade and believes one of the Mexicans was wounded. Marshal Patterson investigated the case, but could find no evidence to bear out the lurid story of the Cherokee Kid' or to substantiate the statements o
 Jess Franklin.
