NEW JORDAN BRIDGE
STILL UNSETTLED

The decision of the County Com
missioners to locate the new iron
bridge crossing Jordan River. near
the College ranch, caused to much
adverse criticism that they decided
to locate 1t on the township line north
OF the lnterurban bridge. This, too,
has met with vigorous protests from
many who own land on the west side,
so the commissioners went over the
project again yesterday and may de-
eide to locate It where the original
petition asked for It, at the end of
Reeves lane. They will visit the pro-
posed sight again Tuesday and all
interested parties are welcome to be
present.

MOsida Making Great Progress

Dr. II. G. Holbrook was called to
a confinement case to the home of
+. o. Brown at Mosida, this week
He was much interested in the rapid
development of the district and says
that 1t is revelation to those who
knew II as a desert waste There
are miles of well irrigated farms on
which many comfortable homes are
being built. The shade trees and
fruit trees are making a phenomenal
growth and fine third crop Of al
falfa is being harvested. In one
stack yard there were over $50 tons
Of fine alfalfa hay. Hundreds of
stacks of grain were in process of
being threshed The old ground,
which had been farmed for three
years, was giving much better yields
than the new, thus proving the per-
manency of the soil.
A noticeable feature of the district
was the miles of turn-piked roads
that the people had built throughout
the section and which extended for
long distances both north and south
Every farm was amply provided with
waste bitches so that flooding of roads

The Doctor also thinks that Lehl
is missing a great opportunity by not
having the County fix good roads be-
tween Lehi and Mosida. If this were
done the desirable Mosida business
would come this way instead OF go

Still Holding Out

The latest reports from the Holy
cross hospitol is that Adolph Hunger,
the young man who was last week
seriously injured by falling from an
lnterurban work car, is still lying In
a comotose state, and that the doctors
hold out but little hope for his re-
coyery His attendants were able to
give him little nourishment in the
form of milk early in the week, but
the last day or so they are unable to
get him to take any more.
Once or twice he opened his eyes
and his mother asked him If he knew
her. His reply was to place his arms
around her neck. This is the only
sign of consciousness that he has ex-
hibited in ten days since thettccident

SAFETY first As It
IS WORKED IN Tulsa
HOW FRISCO TRIES TO PROTECT
LIVES Al THE GRADE
CROSSINGS.

In view of the complaints OCCASION
ally made against the railroads Of
Tulsa in regard to the dangerous
crossings in the heart of the city. it is
noteworthy to observe the effort made
constantly by the railroad authorities
to prevent accidents at these cross
ings.
The fact that the railroad yards are
in the heart of the business portion
of town is not the fault Of the rail-
road. The city has been built up
around the freight yards as a matter
of convenience to the property owners.
1t Is even wonderful to contemplate
how SO fcw accidents have occurred in
a district where the traffic Is so heavy
and the railroad crossings so frequent.
The Frisco railroad in recent months
has expended an immense amount of
money 10 build new freight yards in
West Tulsa to eliminate switching
across Main street on either side Of
the Frisco tracks on Main street.
where the traffic is heaviest. the rail-
road maintains a little park what
arc these parks for, belliShmeut?
Not much. These lots could be leased
and an income derived from them OF
not less than 10000 per year but the
buildings necessarily occupying these
lots would obstruct the view Of the
railroad everywhere except directly
In front Of the people passing the
street. placing them In constant haz-
ard Of their lives A watchman is
kept at the four busiest crossings all
during the day and one stays on duty
all night at the intersection of Main
and the Frisco tracks
The question of viaduct on Main
street has been discussed pro and con
In more or less reasonable way ever
since the first school boy got shut in
behind a freight train and was tardy
at school back in territorial days, but
1t has amounted to nothing for the
simple reason that the sacrifice Of val
liable property In that locality would
more than Offset the advantage. The
