Play a Success.

The play and miscellaneous pro-
gram which had been so enthusias-
tically arranged by Miss Marie Alb
ney, was a great success, and about
$4,000 was cleared for the library.
The minstrels were said to have
been the most humorous, and the
whole entertainment the best of
many good ones. Miss Abney has
undertaken, so unselfshly for the
library. The scene from Miss Min
erva and William Green Hill was
heartily applauded.

Dear Mr.. Editor:
AS theee has not been any letter

write one. We have only a few
days more to go to school this ses-
sion. Our teacher is Mrs. Maggie
Burnett. We all love her very
much. Our school will close Friday
May 4, and ali entertainment will be
Friday night. We have had a very
successful term. While we have
only small school, we feel that we
hare accomplished cnuch. We would
be very glad to have you, Mr..
Editor. come to oNS entertainment.
The farmers are quite busy now
planting, as they were kept back by
the rain. Everyone seems more en-
thused over planting food stuff than
they are cotton. I think that is the
thing for them to de- as we are fac
ing crisis which none of the young
folk ever faced before.
Our community was saddened by
the death of Mrs. Charlie Byrd last
Sunday. She was buried at Gilgal.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy
to the bereaved ones.
We have had lot of sickness in
our community.

COUNTY COURT
RECEIVES PLANS
FOR new BRIDGE

Plans, prepared by the State
Highway department at the re.
quest Of the County Courts Of
Sherman and Gillian counties
for a bridge over the John Day
at Mcdonald. to take the place
Of the present toll ferry, have
been received by the County
Court. They call for first class
Howe truss bridge. properly and
adequately housed. The bridge
consists OF three spans, one at
l0S feet on either side and Ia
foot span over the center Of the
stream. The idea Of the wider
span at the center was to permit
OF free movement, so far % can
be anticipated, Of the ice jams
which under certain conditions
form in the river at this point.
The abutments are Of reinforced
concrete with a handsome rail. 1t
is claimed that this bridge, prop
erly constructed, is good for DO
years. II is designed to carry
a live load of 100 pounds per
square foot and the floor system
is good for q 20 ton truck. The
estimated cost of this bridge is
sl3, $50. A steel bridge to carry
the same load would cost over
500, 900. The concrete piers and
abutments are first class, and, il
at the end of the life Of the pro-
posed structure a heavy steel
bridge is desired. the substruct-
ure work is designed to carry 1t.

Give Welcome to. Japan's Mission

On the occasion of the arrival of the
japanese mission to the United States
Washington should make a display of
the flags of Japan, as it has done in the
case of the war ENJOYS of the other
powers. There is, indeed, special rea-
son for greeting the japanese mission
cordially. The relations between the
United States and Japan have at times
been strained in consequence of the
'thoughtless misunderstanding of por-
fions of the people. There is no sub
stantial reason, however, for differences
between the two governments. Their in
tefests are allied, their sympathies are
mutual In this great world crisis
Japan and the United States are Jointly
engaged as forces for protection from a
ruthless power It, therefore, is appro-
pirate that the mission now on its
way to the American capital should be
greeted on its arrival here with es.
pecial signs of welcome. Let the ban
ner of the rising sun blaze forth in
Washington,
