FIXING KYLE BRIDGE
Temporary Repairs Have Been Made
On the Bridge

The Kyle bridge has not been re-
paired yet and nobody seems to know
when It will be in use again. The
north abuttment settled during the
recent high water, seven feet for
ward and five feet deep. This set
Ting of the abuttment cracked the
cement slab of the north approach
to such an extent that it will have
to be put in new. Huge timbers
have been placed between the abutt-
ment to prevent its sliding into the
river.
When the bridge was constructed
this abuttment was not run to bed
rock, as was on the south one and as
a result it settled. Specifications
requiring that they be placed on bed
rock were not in the original con-
tract, as It was not deemed neces-
sary by the contractors and the COM
missioners. County Engineer Rid
die recommended these specifica-
tions, and even insisted, as it is on
the north side Of curve to the
north Of the river where there would
naturally be current. The high
water has proven that this is very
clearly the case, for the very strong
current ON the north side virtually
undermined the abuttment.
Even now the commissioners will
be able to repair the work with
local contractors for about half of
what IT would have cost had the Can
ton Bridge Company done it. The
commissioners in doing this at this
price win put It on bed rock too.

and neglecting possibilities of an
other major offensive in the west.
Britain takes a leading part in oppos-
sition to Russia's desire to have the
Balkan campaign continue at ali
costs. Italy is reluctant to contribute
men as long as the Central Powers
keep out of Albania, the territory Oh
which she keeps her jealous eye. At
the same time, France wants to re-
serve her forces for her own defense
A compromise, therefore, would
leave misgivings, if not actual suspic-
ion among the contending gr&lps.
Each one Of the Allies, however
can not oppose Russia, with an easy
mind, for despite her agreements
with all the other entente powers,
she might make a separate peace if
thwarted in her Balkan desires, and
this would be a serious blow to the
ambitions of the entente.

Entente Allies at a Loss as to
Disposition of Their Troops

Written bq J. W. T. Mason fer

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-lndica-
tons are that the Allies genetal war
council is meeting with the common
fate of coalitions and is failing TO
satisfy. Persistent reports from Par
is report serious differences of opin-
ion among the military leaders. la
fact, the council is proving itself no
grand general staff for directid1l OF
the war, but instead an exchange bu-
reau for examination OF policies. The
council now is engaged in exanin-
ing the advisabilNy OF continuing the
Balkan campaign. Meantime, Brit
ish and French forces are being hurl-
ed back from Southern Serbia
This examination into the Balkan
probably, however, is not matter oI
determining how to defeat the Tel
tons and Bulgars, but rather what is
good for the individual Allies.
4 truly united policy acceptable to
all the Allies is Impossible. Russia
wants the Balkan situation continued
for the sake of her prestige i'll that

preme court reverses the decision of
the lower court and remands the case
for a new trial. The opinion is by
Justice Coleman, concurred in by
Chief Justice Norcross and dissented
in by Justice McCarran. All three
justices wrote an opinion in this
case.

pie ask the court to allow the issu-
ance of an injunction against the
smelter people, and which has been

regarded as a very vital suit, the
court, through Judge Norcross, and
concurred in by Justices McCarran
and Coleman, decides that it is a
moot case in which one seeks to de-
termine an abstract question which
does not rest upon existing facts or
rights" AS a result of the review by
the Supreme court the appeal is dis
missed.
In the case of the Copper Mines
company versus H. A. Comins, suit
over lands in White Pine county, the
petition for a rehearing was denied.
In the original opinion of this court
Comins won over the appellant CON-
pany.
In the case of w. K. Freudenbe--

troller, the application for rehearing
was denied This is the final dispo-
sition of the case.

People of Virginia Wear the Smile
That Existed I'm the Olden DAYS

Unusually favorable reports are be-
ing received from the Sierra Nevada
properties at Virginia City. The ore
bodies are growing larger and the
values are holding their own around
the SIS per ton mark. The manage
ment is so confident of the perman
ency of the find that the Union shaft
through which operations have been
carried on from the 2,000-foot level,
and which caved in and partially fill
| ed up from this level to the 1000, is
/ to be cleaned out and retimbered, SO
that the ore can be handled direct
through the shaft from discoveries
made on the $500 level AS it is now,
| in order to extract this ore, tramming
lis required for distance OF nearly
| 500 feet; then a winze runs down
to the $500 and the miners then
come back through crosscut to a
point almost imme ediately below the
shaft. By cleaning out the latter TO
| the $500 all this work will be obviat-
ed and access to the ore bodies can
be attained by 800 feet OF tramming,
meaning big saving in time and
labor.
Parties recently arrived in Carson
| from Virginia say the prospects for
the old lode are extremely bright and
work is in contemplation on num-
Der of properties that have long lain
