John NJ. McCaw, county engineer,
was in Pullman Wednesday and
Thursday. Mr.. McCaw came here, to
consult with Mark Whitlow, county
commissioner, about the rebuilding
of the Peterson bridge over Union
Flat creek. south of Pullman. They
visited the old bridge site Thursday
for the purpose of selecting a site
for the new bridge. Mr.. McCaw is
anxious to have the county build con-
crete bridges, which he claims can be
built for 5 per cent more than steel
bridges and the concrete lasts for
ever. He says there is a good bed
of concrete gravel near the site of
the Peterson bridge and he wants the
commissioners to order concrete
bridge built there.

Washing 6eggars' Feet.
In England, on Maundy Thursday
there used to prevail custom for
the sovereign to wash the feet Of as
many poor people as corresponded
with the years of his or her life. King
James H. was the last monarch to-
regularly perform this service, though
Queen Elizabeth in her thirty-ninth
year washed the feet of thirty-nine of
her subjects.
Her majesty was attended by an
equal number Of ladies' and gentle,
men. The feet OF these poor Of the
kingdom we're first washed by yeo-
men Of the laundry with warm water
and sweet herbs; the queen then
bashed them and made the sign Of
the cross on the instep and kissed II.
This ceremony took place at Green
