RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS IN

Huron, S. D., Nov. 6.-Railway mail
clerks between here and Rapid CITY
are IN revolt over an order issued by
John n. Price, chief clerk of the rail-
way mail service at Aberdeen, cutting
Down the number of clerks on this run
from nine to seven.
h order, it is alleged, is even more
drastic than the one which caused the
trouble five years ago on the Tracy
Pierre run, and a Representation will
be made to South Dakota's delegation
in congress in an effort to have the
order revoked before the states mail
service is tied up the way 1t was in
1t is claimed that the mail clerks in
the Aberdeen district have the record
of working more mail per man thar
any other district in the Tenth di-
vision, which. it is said. is largely re-
sponsfble for the clerks taking such
strong exception to this ruling. which
requires seven men now to do the
work of nine heretofore.

accepted by the commissioners about
two months ago. That section of the
Richmond-Fountain City pike which
was macadamized has never been ap-
proved by the supervisor appointed by
the county to oversee the work. The
road has been paid for. however Toe
supervisor, Mr.. Bulla, declares that it
does not come up to standard and he
Will not approve 1t. s..s., ...-. -.
Jones then declared that if he had
at his disposal all the money that had
been wasted on macadam roads he
could have built the finest system Of
gravel highways in the United States.
He also declared that he could have
provided permanent brick paving on
the roads which have been macadam-
lied at a cost only little in excess
of the amount spent for the macadam
improvement.
But Jones realizes that the county
has twelve miles of macadam roads to
care for and that it is a waste of time
lamenting over their existence.
Made Roads Serviceabie.
What must be done in this county,
to prevent total loss of the money
spent for making such roads, is to
make them serviceable as long time
as is possible, and to do this they
must all be provided with binders"
the highway superintendent added.
Il am glad to say the county COM
missioners now share this opinion with
me. Next spring think it will be pos
sible for me to take the first step IL
preserving, as far as possible, our
twelve miles of macadam roadway, by
oiling them. Oil is not as expensive.
OF course, in my opinion, macadam
roads with a binder are not In the same
class with well made, we'll kept gray
81 road. but macadam roads after. a
binder has been provided can be fair
ly well preserved. Without a binder
they are worse than useless. l have
informed the commissioners that
can secure an oiling outfit and the
necessary supply Of oil for approx
mate1y 81 900. and they see the wis
dom of spending this sum to save the
macadam roads, which represent an in
vestment Of about 100000"

pairing the floor of the bridge in later
years, nails were used and when the
bridge was reinforced, nails were en-
ployed as their utility was soon rec
ognized.
When the talk of building a steel
bridge began to take form, it was
urged by many of the older residents
of the city, that the commissioners
leave the old bridge standing. If this
had been done the county would not
now be worrying over the problem of
a temporary bridge for relief and the
old bridge would be landmark which
the county and state could be proud
of. 1t would be one of the few land
marks that are significant on the old
National road which has gained SO
much historical prominence the past
few years.
Used Green Shutters.
In general appearance the old bridge
resembles the covered bridge at North
Twelfth street. which is being RACED,
except that it was much wider. had
sidewalks on both sides and was made
of much better and more substantial
material. Some of the posts of solid
oak were from a foot to eighteen in
ches in thickness. There was a right
and left roadway with four foot
sidewalk on each side. All the inter
Tor was painted white and with the
exception of the shutters, which were
put on in winter, the outside was
painted white. The shutters, painted
green, made striking contrast 1t had
an extra heavy single roof Because
Of its protection from the weather in

parts of 1t were taken to Glen Miller
park and placed on exhibit there as
an historical landmark. 1t was not long
however, until this was placed on the
scrap heap with the rest Of the bridge
Some of the timber was bought by
Henry Holzapfel. The bridge was torn
down in 1896. according to the best in
formation obtainable.
Cost L. Unknown.
The original cost Of the bridge can
not be learned as many Of the records
have been destroyed. It was learned
however. that the government paid for
a large part of the bridge but to what
extent cannot be learned. Records.
however, show that when the National
road was built between Richmond and
Indianapolis it required an expendi-

The Old Historical Main Street Bridge;
Once a Point of Admiration on the Old
National Road Through Wayne County

"Why, I tell you, every visitor that
ever came to Richmond wanted to see
the bridge they had heard so much
about. That was the first thing they
asked about when they came to Rich.
mond and many people came here from
miles and miles away just to see the
structure"
Citizens Expressed Pride.
Every visitor who saw it said that
it was by far the best bridge between
Cumberland, Maryland, and ST. Louis, ~
he continued. "Of course we had a
right to be proud of it."
The bridge was built a few years
after the Cumberland road was built.
This road, at this time, extended from
Cumberland to st. Louis and was the
main road of travel between the
eastern and the western states.
"The first time l went across the
bridge was in 1885," said Mr.. Foulke.
1T was beautiful structure. 1t was
painted white, decorated with green
shutters. 1t was pleasing sight to see
from down the river"
Mrs. John Foulke who is a native
of this city, also delights to tell of her
early impressions of the structure.

said, they thought it would last for
centuries and it would have lasted
that long il they had let it. There
was quite an agitation raised when

Sidewalks Were White.
"The sidewalks on both sides of the
roadway were painted white and pre-
sented fine appearance" she said.
MY father often told me that 1t would
be impossible to build better bridge
than the old Main street bridge"
She said that very few nails were
used In building the bridge and that

called the Cumberland Road.
The bridge was built in the "early
thirties." and the older residents Of
the city today say that II the bridge
had been left standing it would be
found practically as substantial today
as it was then.
It took more than a year to build
