The Mapleton chautauqua opened
Monday under the most favorable
conditions. Several days before all
the tickets guaranteed and more had
been sold. The grounds selected are
at the south end of Second street up
on a gentle slope, toward the street.
The large tent which seats 1000 peo-
pie was nearly all filled at 1890
Sunday morning for the union serv-
ice at which all the churches of this
locality were represented. The mus

food for thoughtful people.
The afternoon program began
promptly at $50 o'clock by the

Required Less Than One Hour
To Accomplish Task
MANY WATCH THE WORK
Nothing Happened to Interfere
With Rapid Transferring of
Structure
From Wednesdays Daily.


With no interference to the foot
traffic and no serious interference to
vehicle traffic. the moving of two
spans of the bridge across the Mime
sofa river between Main street and
Belgrade avenue was accomplished
early this morning.
The bridge was closed to vehicles
from APO to 5:45 o'clock, but the
actual moving required only forty-flve
minutes. The last rig to come over
before the moving was the Coy mail
automobile, coming back from the
north side. The first to drive over aft
er the moving was Henry Robel, ST.,
who also. came over from the village.
The bridge was moved with steel
cables, three-eighths of an inch IN
diameter. These cables were passed
through blocks and pulleys, so that
their pulling strength was many times
multiplied. Eight men and one steam
engine, the one that stands on the
barge and has been used for derrick
work and pile driving, furnished the
power that caused those two old
spans, that had not been budged for
many, many years, TO glide with little
friction over to their new position, so
as to make room for the erection of
the new bridge.
Two WndIasses Used.
Two windlasses were used, each
with four men, one at the junction of
the two spans and the other On top

pier is supposed to swing to allow
the passage of boats. The engine did
it's pulling at the north end of the
bridge, where there was most moving
to be done.
The north end of the obridge moved
q distance of about sixty feet. The two
spans moved SO as to, make a slight
turn in the bridge where the span
that has not been moved, joins with
by turning one span little away
from another, was quickly planked
up, and the bridge was ready for
vehicles again. ad
The great spans moved on steel
pipe rollers, which moved between
the big wooden ,baams. The bridge is
now partly supported on the old piers,
and partly on the piles that have been
driven next to the piers and abutment
to help support the bridge in it's new
position. ~
Many People On Hand.
About 200 people were on hand to
see the moving of the bridge. AS early
as four o'clock, Superintendent J. E..
Hidden had his force. of men on the
ground, getting the apparatus in shape
for the big engineering feat. That this
was accomplished so successfully re-
fleets great credit on the superintend-
ent.
The telephone lines were made
ready some time ago for the change in
the osition of the bridge. After two
o'clock yesterday afternoon, the big
four-inch gas pipe, wherewith gas is
supplied by the Consumers Power
company to the people of North
Mankato, was prepared for the move.
This was done at a time of the day,
when the gas supply could be tenn
porarily shut off, without giving the
people much inconvenience. Two
hinge joints were made, one at the
north end of the bridge, where the
moving was the greatest, and the
other at the place where the span that
was, not moved connects with the
middle span, which was moved.

Plans Proposed for Standardiz-

tary Engineers to Assist.

Plans for standard.zing the aero
plane industry were talked over by rep
rcsentstivcs of all the aircraft manu-
featuring interests in this country at a
meeting yesterday in the Engineering
Building. The aeroplanc makers were
brought together by the Naval Consult
ing Board, Of which Thomas a. Edison
is chairman. Howard F.. Coffin, a mem
Der OF the board. declared that no
stronger step had been taken in the
direction Of military preparedness in
this country than this meeting.
In statement issued at the close OF
the meeting Thomas Robins, secretary
OF the Naval Consulting Board, said:
Steps were taken looking toward tho
institution of an aggressive campaign
upon the part Of the Society of Aero
nautical Engineers through the forma.
ton OF committees within that society
II is proposed that these committee
shall at once consider the many prob.
lens OF nomenclature and standardiza
ton which confronts the industry. II
IS proposed also that these committees
shall work in close harmony with the
engineers Of the army and navy. This
insures cooperative work among the
manufacturers who must supply the
fighting aircraft of our army and
navy"
As a result Of the meeting, said Mr..
Robins, the engineers of the various
seroplane concerns will work together
to solve common problems, and thus a
Standardization of materials, designs
and methods of specification and test
will be brought about.
