TRAFFIC CLOSED FOR
new TUCKER BRIDGE

Traffic was suspended over the old
wooden bridge at fuckers Tuesday
morning, and the bridge will be closed
from ten days to two weeks to allow
construction of the new steel span.
The old bridge will be used for false
work in erecting the new one, making
a saving in expense, but will require
residents on that side of the river to
go around by the East Side grade to
get into town. The closing of the
bridge also cuts off route No. at that
point, so that the patrons of that route
on the east side of the river will have
no mail delivery until the new bridge
is opened TO traffic.
The new bridge will be an l1l-foot
steel span, with approaches of 62 feet
additional, which will be of wooden
construction. The new bridge will be
from two and half to four feet higher
than the old structure, cutting out that
much of the grade that existed at
either end of the old bridge. The
roadway will be l6 feet wide in the
clear. Foundations will be built of
cement, but as there is good bed rock
on either side, smooth footings only of
cemet will be required.
The contractors are the Portland
Bridge and Iron CO., and the bridge
will cost $3, 900.

BOISE 0RCHARDIST
LOOKS OVER VALLEY

f. Eakins, an orchardist of the Boise
valley near Meridian, was here last Of
the week looking over the valley and
getting posted on Hood River methods.
Mr.. Eakins said there was big crop
of apples in that section of the ccuatry
and no market as yet for the'bulk of
the crop. He said there was little stor-
age in that part of thee ountry ard the
crop would have TO be moved this fall
Mr.. Eakins was we'll pleased with
the valley and the manner of taking
care of our orchards, but said that the
Jonathans and Winesaps in the Boise
valley were of better size and color
than ours, although he admitted that
our standard varieties were perfec-
ion. Meeting K. l.. Smith, the latter
said that he once addressed meeting
of horticulturists at Meridian and had
a good attendance, despite the fact
that there was a masked ball, a Meth
odist revival and five cases of smallpox
going on at the same time.

THE DALLES FAIR
OPENS OCTOBER |

The Dalles, Ore, Sept. q. In order
to ease the rush Of entering stock and
displays of various kinds at the open
ing of the district fair, Secretary Judd
). Fish, of the association, has opened
the entry books and many farmers,
stockraisers and citizens have taken
advantage of the opportunity.
Several fruitgrowers have placed dis
plays in cold storage here, and il is
predicted that the display of products
at the twenty-second annual exhibition
OF the Second Eastern Oregon District
Agricultural society will surpass in va
riety, quality and quantity anything of
the kind ever viewed in eastern Ore
gon. Bumper crops of all kinds and
the increased interest which is shown
by people of this fair district assure
the best and most attractive fair in
the history of the society.
A number of committees have noti-
fed the management that they will
have displays when the big yearly
event opens Tuesday, October /, for
four days. In order to encourage this
kind of competition the fair officials
viii reserve space for any community
so that it can have an individual dis
play, receiving the proper credit and
be entered in competition for the prizes
offered.
Several strings of racehorses have
been stabbed at the track already,
where they may be seen in daily work
outs. and more of the racing stock will
be here as soon as the fairs in eastern
Oregon are over. 1t is predicted by
horsemen that the races this year will
be the fastest and most interesting
ever seen here.
High class vaudeville and musical
attractions will furnish amusement for
the crowds every day between the
horse races. A large stage will be
erected across the track. directly IN
front of the grandstand, upon which
the vaudeville bills will be presented
Large are lights will illuminate the
place at night. Last year vaudeville
attractions were offered at night in the
main exhibit building, which was not
large enough to accommodate the
crowds which gathered.

New Road to Mount Hood
The Dufur Dispatch says:

The Dufur Dispatch says:
Much interest is being taken at The
Dalles and 10 various points along the
line in a road running from The Dalles
to Mount Hood, via Dufur. The road
from here would run by way Of the
Ward Mill road as far as the mill and
from there an entirely new road would
have to be laid out.
This road would be of great benefit
TO the residents Of Dufur and vicinity,
in that il would afford a much nearer
route to the mountains for those who
wish to take their outings in the sum
mer there. 1t would be the cause of a
great deal of travel coming this way
as it would be taken advantage of by
many people from The DalIes, and
even from Portland and other points.
"The road from here could be put in
excellent shape at but very little ex-
pense, in fact, is already in very good
shape. and it is said that a road from
the mill to the base OF the mountain
could be constructed at bat very little
expense and trouble.
