During this period the bridge was
opened SO times. A study of these
figures will give an idea of the vol
ume of traffic a bridge over this river
must carry now, and one must bear
in mind that with the rapid growth
of South Aberdeen it is rapidly in
creasing. Thus it will readily be
seen that If the Lockwood plans are
carried out on the Heron street
bridge, that structure will be found
totally inadequate to carry the traffic
that will come to it in less than two
years. Street Commissioner Arthur
is authority for the statement that
Engineer Lockwood suggested other
alterations on the Heron street bridge
not included in his report and esti-
mate that would add $4,000 to that
estimate, and which would probably
have to be made in order to keep the
structure going.
New Bridge Is True Economy
According to the records in the
Office of the street commissioner, the
Heron street bridge cost in 1912 for
repairs and ferry operation about $780,
900. 1t also shows that while one
man is supposed to operate the bridge
an extra man from the street depart
ment is found necessary to handle
the bridge almost all the time.
The diagnosis of Engineer Lock
wood practically condemns the pre-
sent bridge. "The foundations are
too light, and the pier and abutment
move with the tides" says Mr.. Lock
wood, and, he continues, you may
spend some $4,000 more money on
1t according to my plans, but l will
not guarantee it to stand up for any
definite length of time" Confronted
by such a condition, no individual or
private corporation would hesitate
about installing a new bridge at a
cost of about $4,000 at the earliest
possible moment, especially as, in ad-
dition to its crippled state, the pre-
sent bridge is, or very soon will be
too small to accommodate the traffic.
10 a Constant Expense
The old bridge is a constant source
Of expense, as will be seen by the
pay roll Of the street commissioner.

oil prospects than during the boom of
ten years ago when a number Of
wells were sunk without result, Chief
attention is being turned to the
Olympic Peninsula and the territory
tributary to Grays Harbor. GeOlO-
gists and practical experts state that
the best indications of oil are in the
Hob River and adjacent country.
This territory, it is claimed, is SIM
liar in structure to the famous Beau.
mont fields in Texas the strata be-
ing almost identical.
The present oil boom has been
caused by the discovery of heavy oil
seepages in the Olympic Peninsula
The greatest seepage, so far report
ed, is in the Hob River country,
where the digging of 20-foot hole
resulted In the taking out of petro
leum in a generous quantity. This
hole was sunk by A. w. Lane of Sc

ferson Oil Company, which owns and
holds several thousands of acres of
ground in the Hob River district.
The deepest we'll now being drill

ably contains a larger percentage Of
people from Michigan than any other
city on the Coast, and should form .

the fact that the start of Aberdeen
was made by Captain J. M. Weather

Michigan here, and was accompanied
by many of his employees and skilled

Representative Dixon of Indiana, de-
