BRIDGE BUILDERS AT WORK.

The work of getting the forms in
place for the concrete abutments I
the new government bridge across the
Colorado river is we'll under way an1
It will be but short time until con-
crete pouring will be commenced. On
the California side of the river the
work of cutting the new road to the
bridge site through the hard volcanic
rock is progressing slowly. 1t is said
that the rock is so hard and brittle
that the shots put in do little work.
The work is certain to be expensive,
but the results will be all that the
people can expect. On the Arizona
side there will be a short fill, but
this will entail only small expendf-
ture
When this bridge is in, automobiles
may run through from Kingman OF
other roints east over the bridge to
Needles without loss of time or ex-
pense, as the bridge is to be free to
all kinds of travel 1t will be the
only bridge across the Colorado river
between Green River and Yuma, and
has long been recognized as public
necessity -Mohave County Miner.

BIG GYPSUM DEPOSIT.

Manager j. E. Meyers of the Ben
digo Mines Company, arrived at vi
dal last week, went to the Bendigo
mine, which is betterknown as the
old Bradley-Morgan property, and is
pow personally directing development
On the property. A carload of ore
will be ready for shipment to Hayden
within short time, aside from the
development work which will be
done on the property An upraise
will be made from a vertical winze
at the foot ofthe old incline shaft to
the surface, to afford a vertical work
.ng shaft, and then extensive devel-
opment will be carried on at the $50
foot level, where a shoot of ore run
ming better than 800 per ton in gold
silver and copper has been cut.
Estimates on the gypsum deposit
which covers part of the Bendigo
property are that there are more
than one million tons of OF gypsum
lin sight. The Bendigo company is
now considering contracts for the
shipment of 250,00O tons of gypsum
during the next two years, and if
the deal goes through, the construc-
ton of railroad spur from Vidal to
the mine would probably result. The
contract, it is learned, would be on
a royalty basis, for the delivery of
$50, 900 tons of a certain grade of
gypsum to the railroad, on cars,
after which the purchasers would han
die it.
After the new shaft on the Ben
digo Is ready for use large force
of men will be put to work and an
effort made to send out two or more
cars OF ore per month, aside from a
large amount of development work.
Development of the property, rather
than an attempt to take out large
bodies of ore, is the purpose of the
company at this time.

EIGHTY PER CENT LAW.

The supreme court of the United
States has declared the Arizona anti
alien labor law, known as the eighty
per cent law, unconstitutional and in
contravention to the constitution OF
the United states
The case was that of the Austrian
waiter at Bisbee who sought to en-
join his employer and the state from
enforcing the law.
Justice Hughes, in announcing the
decision, said that aliens already es-
tabiished in the country are entitled
TO the rights of citizens and said that
the law is unjustly described in it's
title as "an act to protect citizens
against non-citizens'
He added that it conflicted with the
guarantee of personal liberty accord
ed to all aliens by the constitution
and that, while the federal govern
ment can admit aliens, the states
must keep out of such legislation.

New Ad.-The Oasis.

The attention of the readers of The
Post is called to the new advertise
ment of the Oasis Restaurant which
appears in another column of this
issue. The management advertises
the best SO cent meal in town, .
and offers in support of this declara-
ton, the proof of the pudding, y
which, as every one knows, is ''the
eating thereof" On in other words,
give the Oasis a trial. AS the SEN
ior member of the firm, Mrs. M. M.
Magee, an old resident of this local
ity, is well known for her clever
ability as a caterer, and Mr.. Buskirk,
the junior member, is also Eau fait''
in the culinary art, they are we'll
prepared to please the palate of even
the most fastidious bon viyant and
demonstrate the fact that the Oasis
is, in figurative sense, all that the
name would imply.

MOST VALUABLE ROAD ONE
TO REDUCE FREIGHT RATES
w. w. HARRAH is CHIEF SPEAK.
ER AT MEETING HELD IN
MILTON.

At an important meeting Of the
county organization Farmers Uniol,
held at Milton Saturday, the subject
OF good roads was discussed along
with other topics of interest. w. W.
Harrah was the chief speaker on the
subject and set forth the contention
that from a farmers standpoint the
most valuable road is the one that
will reduce freight rates. Mr.. Har-
rah expressly advocated the building
Of the Cold Springs road and went to
some extent into the work that has
been started by the Umstilla County
Good Roads Association.
A. r. Shumway, representative Of
the union during the legislative seq
sion discussed the recent legislature
in a very interesting manner. Mr..
Mitchell auditor for the workmen's
compensation commission, discussed
the advantages the compensation law
has for farmers. F. S. Sykes talked
OF the Tri-State Terminal Company
and w. P. Evans, secretary OF the
Pendleton agency, spoke upon the
subject Of cooperation.
Mr.. Evans suggested among other
, things that there is necessity for
farmers, businessmen and professions
al men to come to a closer under
standing of each other. He held that
cooperation will prevail only wher
there is something to be gained there
by. AS substitute for business with
distant mail order houses he advised
that farmers pay their home mer-
chants cash and insist upon goUC
service. The speaker urged thai
when a man does not have the mon
ey he borrow money OF his banker
and meet his bills, the contention be-
, ing the banker would prefer loaning
money to farmer on real estate So
curity than to a merchant.
The subject of the annual Farmers
Union picnic was up for considera'
tion and Pilot Rock invited the pic.
mic to that town. The matter oi
deciding both upon the place and
date for the picnic was left with the
