BRIDGE FIVE MILES LONG

San Francisco is planning to
build the greatest bridge in the
world. It is to connect Oakland
and it's contiguous districts
with San Francisco, and it is to
relieve five ferry systems of
passenger and vehicular traffic.
The proposed bridge will cost
$22,000,0O0 and will be so miles
long. 1t will be one Of the
heaviest bridges ever built, car
rying three roadways and four
railroad tracks. It's main por-
ton is to be made up of 16 spans
each $50 feet long. Near the
San Francisco shore there will
be two long and high spans un-
der which the ships will pass.

and it is proper that it should be so.
No matter who is elected to fill the
various State and county offices
things will rock along pretty much
in the same old way, so far as the
average individual is concerned; but
the question as to whether we are
to have good roads or be content
with the makeshifts we have, is one
of the most vital import to all our
people. That is the question to be
decided by the bond election June
1st-whether the people of Polk
county are to have good roads or
not; whether we are to go forward
or stand still. We think everybody
is in favor of good roads, but the
man who states that we can have
them without bonding for them is

MENAGERIE IN AN UN-
SUSPECTED PLACE

Last fall B. F. Roberts discovered
in his sweet potato patch an old
nanny" of prodigious size, so large
indeed, that he would not tell about
it for fear he would not be believed,
though his reputation for veracity
is we'll known. He decided to let
the potato remain, os as long as the
patch would hold it, so when cold
weather came he banked heating
stable manure around it and put a
bacon box over it to keep it from
being killed by the cold.
of late he has been missing some
chickens and went to hunt up the
marauder. His dog found a trail
that led directly to the big potato.
He found a hole in the tuber and
from it came squeals and Kisses
Even the disagreeable odor of a
polecat issued from the hole His
dog scratched the soil away around
the potato and Mr.. Roberts broke ii
with long pole He then found
that a rat family, skunk family
and a family of spreading adders
had occupied the beloved tuber. His
/ theory is that the rats had first
followed out a nest there and that
the polecats, attracted by the
warmth, had taken possession ant
compelled the rats to enlarge the
nest, then the snakes moved in t.

Failing to hear from the manage
ment of the Haege Cardinals the Illi-
nois Oil company team has laid claim
to semipro championship of Rock Is
land. Pete Johnson, manager of the
team, bases his claim on past perform
ances this season. So far this season
the Oil company nine has played IL
games. winning 10 of them, losing only
to the East Moline Cubs, IL to 4. In
the first game of the year the oil men
defeated the Haege Cardinals, who now
claim the title by a count of Ia to 2.
They defeated the Island Citys on two
occasions and their record contains
victories over the fast Walcott nine,
Moline Federals and Yuma White Sox.
Manager Johnson is more than anxious
to schedule a game with the Cardinals
to decide the title, and now has laid
claim to the championship because of
the failure of the Cardinals to answer
his challenge. The record of the Oil
company team for the season follows:
