THE OREGON
TRUNK BRIDGE
AT CELLO
GENERAL PASSENGER AGENT W.
Z. CONAN TELLS OF THE OPEN.
ING OF THE SPLENDID STRUC.
TURE ACROSS THE COLUMBIA.

Ed, Journal: A brief description of
the Oregon Trunk railway bridge
across the Columbia river at Cello
falls is given herein. AS the opening
of this bridge marks another step in
the easy movement of traffic to and
from the country served by this line,
and another stage in the development
of the West, it is given to you for such
review as you may desire to make as
a matter of news.
Beginning Sunday, January Z, this
great steel bridge will be opened and
regularly used for through trains be-
tween Portland and all Central Ore
gon points on the Oregon Trunk rail-
way. 1t eliminates the ferry service
at Fallbridge, which has been used for
the transportation of material and
equipment during the construction as
well as the transfer of passengers
and freight since the opening of the
line in March, 1911.
Leaving the main line of the Spo-
kane, Portland & Seattle railway at
bridge on a wye in both directions, the
bridge crosses directly over the Cello
falls of the Columbia.
The eight main truss spans aggre-
gate 1924 feet in length, in addition
to which there are % girder spans,
making the total length 4197, or about
fourfifths of a mile. The longest, of
type, 316.S crosses the main
channel of the river The draw span,
246.6 crosses the government lock ca
nal
The 29 piers and three abutments
are constructed of reinforced con-
crete and granite A remarkable fea-
ture of the bridge is it's location,
where the falls have cut through the
rocks, allowing the piers to rest on
solid rock foundations, which are dry
in the low water period of about nine
months per year The south end of
the bridge is 100 feet above low water
mark and 80 feet above ordinary high
water.
The erection of the steel structure
began May II, 1911, and was finished
January 4, 1912. No life was lost
1uring its construction.
Yours Truly,
w. E. CONAN. !

Editor Capital Journal
Dear Sir: AS your columns are of
fered to the public for free discus
sions, I would take the opportunity
OF stating a few remarks, and that
is on the mayors message.
think his suggestions are fine and
should meet the approval of every
citizen that wants Talem to go ahead.
First, the city owning the water
plant, if not the old one, start a
municipal plant and furnish water at
a price of about one-quarter what we
are now paying 1t is done in other
cities; why not here?
Same is true of the electric light
and the city should without further
delay procure the site the mayor ad-
vocates and put in their own plant
Electricity is just double what it is
in other cities.
Also the gas plant and all pubic
utilities should belong to the munich
pality But one important thing that
has never been mentioned to my
knowledge is the cemeteries and |
have been Informed that even they
were owned by a private company.
In a good many cities we find that
this is generally taken up by some
ladies' society or civic league; but
there seems to be no such desire
here as to beautifv the cemeteries,
parks or even the lawns, although It
is claimed to be a beautiful city and
a good many have believed it. Why
not create a society and procure the
two cemeteries for the city and i'm
prove them so as to make 1t Gem
etery beautiful.
These are some of the things that
came to my observation during my
residence of two years in Salem.

ALL MISTAKE
SAYS THE S. P.
FREIGHT AGENT
RATES TO THE WILLAMETTE
VALLEY HAVE NOT BEEN
CHANGED - EXPLANATION is
MADE BY GENERAL FREIGHT
AGENT LOUNSBURY.

Activity on the part of the business
men of Salem, Albany, Corvallis and
Eugene in demanding through their
commercial organizations reduced
terminal rates on first-class freight
from the east, is believed to be due to
misunderstanding of the situation,
according to H. e. Lounsbury, gen.
eral freight agent of the Southern
Pacific. Mr.. Lounsbury says there
has been made absolutely no change
in trans-continental westbound class
rates to valley points Discussing
the subject, he said;
81 am afraid that there is a mis-
understanding on the part of the
merchants in the Willamette valley,
who apparently have the impression
that the transcontinental class rates
from the east to Willamette valley
points have recently been changed,
and to correct any wrong idea that
may prevail about the subject / be-
lieve it would be well to explain the
exact situation.
Effective November / a tariff sup
plement was issued advancing The
westbound class rates to North Coast
terminals from three dollars first
class to three dollars and seventy
cents first class from New York, and
providing that these rates would ap-
ply to intermediate points. This ad-
vance was suspended by the Inter
state Commerce Commission and the
former rates were restored. Subse-
quently, through mistake, the appli-
cation of the terminal rate of three
dollars first class was extended to
Willamette Valley points, effective
December 80, 1911. This error was
discovered promptly and corrected by
permission of the Interstate Com
fierce Commission December 80, so
that, as matter of fact, it will be
seen there has been no change in the
application of transcontinental west.
bound class rates to valley points.

Whipping them into line by reducing
their views to record, Governor West
at a late hour yesterday afternoon,
succeeded in putting through the State
Desert Land Board, after a hard fight
resolution directing Attorney-Gen-
eral Crawford to bring an action in
the courts canceling the contract ex-
listing between the state and the De-
schutes Land company, of which one
Morsen is the president.
The governor has been after this
concern for some time. He has de-
manded again and again a statement
from the company disclosing its
financial condition. The board has
not only made concessions to Morsen,
but has apologzed to him for the ac-
tion of the governor After revolving
the whole subject in his mind for
about four months the governor de-
cided 1t was time to act, and, after

The confession, it was learned this
afternoon, was handed by Richeson to
his attorneys yesterday. All through
the night the attorneys for the self

noon he gave in.
