ordered to complete plans and esti-
mates for slanting bridge and he has
| these completed.
Before the commissioners made
their order for slanting bridge, A. c.
Lindemuth appeared before them and
asked them to send for the same ex-
pert whom they have now sent for.
They refused his plea.
This late decision of the commits
sioners to bring Mr.. Harrington here
will mean much expense to the county
and will cause another long delay be-
fore the appropriation for Main
street bridge will be asked
Opposes Level Bridge.
Engineer Mueller informed the COM
missioners Saturday that because of
the c. & O. railroad trestle, a level
bridge was out of the question and
that this was the reason he yhad not
considered level bridge advisable.
| 1t is the general supposition that
the commissioners have merely taken
this action to satisfy the level bridge
advocates. The level bridge men
have agreed to stand by the decision
which Mr.. Harrington makes. In case
the consulting engineer recommends a
level bridge. the level bridge advo-
Gates will expect the commissioners to
stand by the decision.
This will lead into one Of the worst
mix-ups which has resulted over the
bridge situation, for the commission
ers have already ordered a slanting
structure and the plans are complete.
The official city government has
come out in favor of the slanting
bridge as has the South Side Improve
ment association, the only tax paying
organization which has taken up the
bridge issue.
Expect Level Bridge Report.
Level bridge men likely are under
the conviction that Mr.. Harrington will
recommend level bridge They were
first going to bring him here at their
own expense. He refused to come un-
less invited by the officials. Then the
level bridge men after many attempts,
influenced the commissioners to send
for him.
Mr.. Harrington will not investigate
the advisability of repairing the Main
street bridge while under the pay of
the commissioners
William Bockhoff has not yet made
public the name Of the bridge expert
when he will have here to investigate
the repair proposition. Neither has
he made known the date that the ex-
pert will be here.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?

A couple of weeks ago we commented
very generally upon the plans and objects OF the
logged off land and powder bill adopted at the
third conference on the subject at the University
of Washington and suggested that it appeared
to offer solution for one of the most perplexlng
problems with which Western Washington has
to deal Since then have noticed that several
Oranges in the neghborhoOd of Seattle and IN
other parts of this section have gone on record
as opposing it, and we naturally want to know
why.
With the details of the proposed legislation we
are not familiar On the face of it, it appears
to offer an admirable plan for state rural credit
system, for providing farmers with cheap pow
der and land clearing machinery through the
agency of community credit, for exempting land
being cleared from taxation until it is productive
and for breaking up the large unimproved tracts
held by spectators seeking their gain through
the general improvements in the district IN which
their lands happen to be located
Everyone appears to be agreed that these are
the things which must be done to solve the land
clearing problem. The methods OF accomplishing
them are subject of course, to considerable varla
ton If the details of the legislation proposed by
these conferences is not proper if it will not ac
complish the desired result, if there is anything
else wrong with it, the faults should be pointed
out.
Our only interest in the problem is whether this
proposed legislation will do what ought to be
done We will be glad to print any comments
on it that show it's bad points or it's good ones

ment Of the county, offers the. banks and business
interests Of Olympia an excellent opportunity to

what they say as to their willingness to promote

the United States a seat in the lower house of
