 The measurements taken show hat bridge $50 feet in length will be necessary. counting the Garden island approach The width Of the river at the average summer stage of water Is 165 feet and the main span will have to be al least that length
 When Col. Wilds P. Richardson was in Fairbanks last summer he announced that he would try to oh tain an extra appropriation from con gress to guarantee the instruction of the bridge It is in the event that construction work is decided upon that the measurements are being taken at this time
 John Zug. superintendent of tha Alaska road commiss:o on at this point states that all of the streams along the Valdez trail have been bridged with the exception of the Panama at Mccarthy and the Salchaket river at Munson's. lt is hoped that an appropriation can be obtained fr m congress for the construction of these two bridges as well as the one at Fairbanks.
 If the appropriation is granted fl is likely that the commission will select a Howe Truss bridge which type has been found to be the most satisfactory in bridging larger streams The present bridge which is being maintained by the city is an extra expense each spring at The time of the breakup and is n IT, stant danger during high water sea son and it is for the purpose of re ducing the expense which should be shoulderei by the government that a permanent bridge has been urged

 T came 10 d small Oregon town on the eve of Thanksgiving" he said with large amount Of dust. stepped into d store and bought cigar. A nicely dressed man came in and began ordering large amount of ries My curiosity was aroused, and inquired for whom he was buying so many eat ables. He stated he was member of the relief committee of his town. buying grocieries foa' dinner to the towns poor fir Thanksgiving. | pulled out my bag of dust. and scraping small amount into d to- bacco sack, handed the remainder over to the grocery man. and said: Here pardner, take this and give the poor people all il will buy"
 That broke Miner and he went into an adjoining state and held up stage coach. Shortly thereafter he spent every cent he had in trying 10 educate two young struggling hopefuls whom he met in his uay. els.
 His late robbery was committed ia Georgia in 1910. His capture came at d time when he was not known in the South. but was suspected of a train robbery in British C lumbia. He was convicted through the con- lesson of two novices, who had aid cd him in the first train robbery in the history of Georgia
 During his Ing period of criminal operations, Miner used to boast. he never robbed the poor and needy. confining his plundering to express companies and railroads He declar. ed he has educated over Twenty-Five boys and g.rls. and set on their feet many men who needed helping hand
