BRIDGE SATISFIES
 !. s. ENGINEER
Zone of the Best in the Country" Is Verdict of
 Major Putnam.

Because of the necessity of doing some reflllng and re-surfaclng at the approaches to the new free bridge, the commission has deferred the for nal receipt of the big steel structure from the contracting company, the Missouri Valley Bridge & Iron com pany, which has already taken up the work of making the desired re- pairs.
 The sinking of the approaches in spots was not unexpected, because 1t was all new work and the recent heavy rains have had the usual ef- feet. Only two or three days will be necessary to make the fills and place the surfacing, mad the bridge comlnis- sion expects to formally take over the structure during the present week
 "The bridge is one of the best in the country" said Major Putnam, the government engineer, after his official inspection Monday, "and it IS most certainly, the best that spans the Arkansas river"
 It was reported yesterday that con- siderable quantities of rock and sand and gravel are being hauled to t'le bridge site, where revetment work is being done following the discovery of considerable caving on the old revetment. It is understood this work also will be completed within few days.
 Engineer Washburn, of the con- tracting firm, who has been ill charge of the work, left yesterday fo" Okla homa City, to be gono several days on business. .l

Pugilism has contributed another
Of its notables to the trenches.
Ahearn was the most recent Of the
knights Of flsticuffs to declare his
intention to enlist with the allies.
Now comes the news that Bombar-

Bombardier has suffered a lot of
criticism recently because he did not
return to the army when war broke
out. Wells was q soldier before he
became known as q fighter, but
those were in peaceful days, when
there was not much danger In toting

King George.
Since Wells has actually enlisted,
the populace across the pond seem
mollined. The fighter now asserts
that he merely held OF until he made
enough to insure q livelihood for his
family and that the Britons have NO
cause to complain anyway. since his
two brothers enlisted at the FIRST call
