CITY FAILED TO
KEEP PROMISES
COUNTY ENGINEER FIXES BLAME
FOR DAMAGE To COOPER
LAKE BRIDGE.

County Engineer j. M. McCaw
blames the city for the accident to
the Cooper Lake bridge last fall and
in his report to the county commits
sioners makes recommendations for
the repair of the bridge. His report
follows:
On examination | find that it will
be necessary to repair the floor of the
Cooper Lake bridge during the COM
ing spring or summer. AS is known.
the floor of this bridge was badly
damaged by the Warren Construction
Company's roller last fall The city
OF Colfax, contrary to promises made
to the county commissioners and to
this Office, neglected to place signs on
the bridge warning persons crossing
the structure with traction engines to
use floor plank under the wheels
when crossing. The roller crossed
the bridge two or three times safely
but on crossing again ran very close
to the curb on the west side. In SO
doing the hind wheel ran over a
stone, which had fallen from one of
the wagons, concentrating the entire
load on the wheel on one point caus-
ing the floor to give away under the
excessive load
The sand and broken stone used in
the floor concrete was good material
and met the requirements of the
specifications. The cement used con-
sisted of two standard brands known
as Superior and Red Devil cement.
The mixing and placing was well
done. On account of having no test
ing machine and having no time to
send samples of the cement away for
testing, this office had to rely upon
the regulations of the brands of
cement used.
The Multiplex steel plate used was
highly endorsed and l was persuaded
developed that the parties making
the endorsement were not familiar
with the real value of the plate, in
fact knew little about it. Had the
plate been as strong as represented
no failure would have occurred.
In order to repair the bridge so
that there will be no future trouble
with the floor, / am submitting to
you design which | am confident
will meet the most severe tests. In
this design it is intended to have the
concrete in the present floor removed
and replaced with a new concrete
slab reinforced with high tension
steel rods, not relying on the multi
pick plates to carry any load, only
using them as forms for the concrete.
The curb is also made to act as re-
inforced beam sustaining a part of
the floor load.
This work can be done in two ways
under the supervision of this office:
Cd By free day labor; (2) BY
prisoner labor. BY using the prison
ers in the county jail to remove the
old floor the repair work can be done
by paid labor for about $3.50. BY
using the prison labor entirely and
employing paid labor for the special
work the job will cost the county
about $417, this includes the relaying
of the blocks.
The following is an estimate of the
quantities of material needed: Crush
ed stone, SO cubic yards; sand, IL
cubic yards; cement, 81 barrels;
lumber for forms, 700 feet, board
measure; steel bars for reinforcing,
1868 pounds.

STAINED GLASS CONTRACT LET
New Congregational Church VIII
Have Many Windows.

The building committee of the Ply
mouth Congregational church have
let the contract for the windows for
their new church edifice to Ford
Bros Glass Co. of Minneapolis. The
windows to be furnished are the very
best obtainable. The firm supplying
them is supplying windows also for
the new Congregational churches at
Boise, Idaho, Hood River, Oregon,
and the $250,000 church which the
Plymouth Congregational of Seattle
Is erecting. 1t Is expected that all
the windows, some 20 or more, will
be donated by the members of the
church and others. 1t is suggested
that set of five windows be devoted
to the memory of Rev. Cushing Ellis,
the founder Of Congregationalism In
Colfax.
The contract for the construction
of the church building will probably
be awarded within the next few days.

Shoots Own Leg Instead of Coyote

Newton Huffman, aged 10 years, is
in st. Ignatius hospital recovering
from gun shot wound received last
Sunday morning while returning
from coyote hunt. His 32-caliber
rifle was accidentally discharged and
the bullet entered the calf of his leg
ranging downward and broke the
large bone just above the ankle. An
X-ray examination shows the bullet
to be lodged in the bone. Young
Huffman lives with his brother-in-
law, Algie Day, on the Palouse road.
He was alone at the time OF the acci-
dent but managed to crawl to the top
of hill where his shouts attracted
the attention of people at the house.

WHAT THE PRIESTS VEsTMENTs
MEAN.

The significance of the six vest
ments worn by the priest in celebrat-
ing Mass is briefly as follows:
l. The Amice is a white linen veil,
which the priest puts over his head
and shoulders. 1t represents the veil
with which the Jews covered the face
of Jesus when they struck Him.
2. The Alb is a long white linen
garment which reaches to the feet of
the priest. 1t represents the white
robe that Herod, in mockery, put upon
our Lord.
3. The Cincture, or Girdle, is the
cord tied around the waists to hold
up the Alb. 1t represents the cords
with which Jesus was bound.
4. The Maniple, worn on the left
arm, represents the chains put upon
our Lord, and also the handkerchief
with which Veronica wiped His face.
5. The Stole is a narrow band
which hangs down from the neck, and
is crossed on the priests breast It
represents the cords with which our
Lords neck was bound after His con-
demnation. 1t is also the distinct
sign of the priestly office, and is used
in many ceremonies and blessings.
6. The Chasuble, or outer vestment,
covers the body of the celebrant, and
represents the garment with which
Christ was clothed in Pilates court
The large cross upon the Chasuble
reminds us of the cross placed upon
Christ's shoulders. At solemn Mass
the deacon and sub-deacon wear vest
ments called Dalmatics, which re-
semble the Chasuble worn by the
celebrant of the Mass.
