PAID A BIG PRICE
FOR A RIGHT T-OF.WAY

About the highest price ever paid for
a right Of way by any railroad COM
pany in Salem, is that which was re-
qdired to secure privileges on Union
street between the end Of the new
steel bridge and Front street. a dis
tance Of but one block The Salem,
Falls City & Eastern paid $4,000 to
the property owners for a right of way
along this meagre strip.
AT the time the company contracted
for this right of way, it agreed to
construct its line in such a manner
that the appearance of the residence
would not be marred.
The corporation has constructed two
neat concrete walls from the end of
the bridge east, which are lowered
gradually, in order that a proper
grade could be obtained from the lev
ell ground to the bridge, and the piece
Of work is not only slightly but sub
stantial.
Although 1t is generally believed by
the company that the highest water
reports made to the federal authorl-
ties, amounting to 60 feet, is rather
fictitious, it was necessary to con-
struct the bridge off grade by plac-
ing the lowest portion four feet above
the high water mark reported. Ow-
ing to this order by the government,
It necessitated the railroad company
constructing a slanting' grade on
Union street, and placing the bridge
four feet above the banks.

FIRST TRAIN CROSSES
THE BIG STEEL BRIDGE
Small But Enthusiastic Crowd Gath.
cred to Welcome Irregular
Service About March s.

With the spikes still causing the ties
to crack, and before throng of about
15O spectators, the first train steamed
across the Willamette river steel
railroad bridge here, which was COM
pleted yesterday afternoon by the
Southern Pacific company. The train
was made up Of an engine and one
regulation passenger coach. The steel
structure did not even vibrate while
the train was crossing, and the chief
engineers, Rear and Fraser pronounce
it perfect.
The crossing time was scheduled at
4:10 yesterday afternoon, but owing
to the train arriving in West Salem
behind time, the event was somewhat
late. However those awaiting the

completed the trip, and was welcomed
with cheers by those on the Marion
county shore.
1t was the plan Of the company to
send the train to the Southern Pacific
passenger depot, but, owing to a delay
in placing the crossing on Front
street, the trip was made half way
down the first block. Regular train

WHO WILL SUCCEED
SUPERINTENDENT ALDERMAN

With the chances in favor of the
election of State Superintendent AL
derman to the position of city super
intendent Of the Portland city schools
there is lot of conjecture around the
state house as to who will be his sue
cessor as head Of the state education
al department.
The logical man for the place in
the minds of many people connected
with educational circles is e. f. Carl
ton, present assistant state superin-
tendent, who has charge Of the office
during the absence of Superintendent
Alderman in the East. Assistant Carl
ton was in the office for four years
during the incumbency of ]. II, Ack-
erman, and continued in the office
when Mr.. Alderman assumed charge
in 1910.
Another state house man whose
name has been mentioned as a possi-
bility is c. L. Starr, secretary Of the
state tax commission, Starr is con-
sidered we'll equipped for the place.
Before taking his present position he
served as secretary Of the state nor
NAL school board, and also as county
superintendent Of public instruction in
Polk county.
First Assistant superintendent
Grout, Of Portland, is making a strong
play for the position, and there are
many people who claim to be close to
the situation who would not be sur
prised II he is successful in landing
the appointment.
Superintendent Churchill, who for
30 years has been county superintend-
ent in Baker county, and who holds
the confidence of every educator in
the state, is being advanced for the
position. Professor Churchill is said
to be in touch with every educational
condition in the state, and TO be IA
vorably inclined towards the methods
of Superintendent Alderman.
Another strong man mentioned is
Superintendent p. L. Bragg, of the La
Grand schools. Gov. West showed
his confidence in Professor Bragg by
appointing him to a position on the
! state text book commission.
