OLD STEEL BRIDGE
HAS BEEN REMOVED

With crews completing their work of
tearing down the structure last week
Hood River loses an old landmark, the
steel bridge across Hood river. The old
bridge has not been used for the past
three months, having been replaced by
the new concrete structure. While il
is in good repair. it was feared that
it would not stand up under the heavy
traffic of the Columbia Highway.
The old bridge is being removed by
the county to the East Fork Of Hood
river in the Upper Valley, where it
will replace the old Toll bridge.

How Diphlheria is Contracted

One often hears the expression, "My
child caught severe cold which devel-
oped into diphtheria." when the truth
was that the cold simply left the little
one particularly susceptible to the
wandering diphtheria germ. If your
child has cold when diphtheria is
prevalent you should take him out of
school and keep him off the street un-
til fully recovered, as there is a hun
ded times more danger of his taking
diphtheria when he has a cold. When
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is given
it quickly cures the cold and lessons
the danger of dphtheria or any other
germ disease being contracted.

The Traction Problem.

Evidently the proposition to estab-
lish zone system as a means Of in
creasing the revenues Of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company
has been abandoned. President Ham
yesterday at the hearing before the
utilities commission stated that this
method would not be insisted upon if
the commission considered that it
would be detrimental to the public
interest. The zone system has been
vigorously opposed by representatives
Of suburban sections z the ground
that the exaction of additional fares
from them amounted to tax upon
their enterprise in settling outside of
the urban area in regions inadequately
equipped in point Of paving, side
walks, sewers and other facilities. In
other words, the suburban objectors
to the zone plan urge that under it
the urbanite has all the advantages
of lower fares and a maximum Of
municipal equipment.
Still it is obvious from the COM
pany's figures that some relief is nee
essary to prevent the system from 60
ing into bankruptcy. The passage Of
dividends the other day discloses the
low state Of the company's finances.
There are only two ways Of meeting
such a difficulty, to increase revenues
or to lower expenses. The company
insists that it cannot reduce the ex-
penses without curtailing the service
which the public requires and demands.
Additional revenue, therefore, stands
as the only possible way Of bridging
the gap between profit and loss. It
was proposed at yesterdays hearing
that q transfer charge should be made.
Various other suggestions have been
advanced, all Of which are now be-
fore the utilities commission for con-
sideration. If receivership is to be
avoided decision must be soon made.

lilies left behind. There are men 60
ing to collect inheritances, the war
having spread death among their rela-

mental conditions the war has pro-

But others announce that they are
through. They do not expect to re-
turn. Their American adventure is at
an end Their old homes, or new
homes elsewhere, will know them in
the future.
The gates have not been closed as
the result of this exodus, and Congress
may not try to keep restless and dis
contented men in the country. But
that the revelations will enter into the
question Of revising the immigration
laws seems certain. That question
looms, and may prove to be one of
extraordinary interest when Congress
gets into its stride.
When debate on this question opens

The First Sea Flight.

While not complete, only one lap
of the course being covered, the flight
of American seaplanes today to the
Azores practically stands as an achieve
ment Of transatlantic flight, which
few years ago was regarded as impos-
sible. Indeed, it is appropriate that
the flight should be broken in this way
with an island station as a resting
point, for it carries the planes that
are bearing the American standard in
the greatest race in history over waters
traversed by the early discoverers who
ventured forth from Europe in search
of the unknown lands to the west.
Four hundred and twenty-seven years
have elapsed since Columbus made his
first voyage. Now man is flying over
the Atlantic, covering in a few hours
distances that formerly required as
many days. And the first thus to fly
over the seas are Americans, dwellers
of the land that Columbus discov-
cred.
1t is interesting to recall in this
connection that just few days more
than fifty years ago the last spike was
driven in completion of the transat-
lantic railway system in this country.
What wonderful changes have come
since the hammer drove that spike
at Promontory Point, and the blows
were echoed throughout the land by
telegraphic taps that set the people
rejoicing! The transcontinental jour.
ney then required eight days. Now
it is made in four days by steam. Since
then the telephone has come and later
came the wireless. Space has been an
initiated for the transmission of
thought. The mastery Of the air has
been accomplished. Flight is not now
the dream Of q few visionaries. It is
a practical, almost everyday affair. In
the great war it was . commonplace
Of combat. In the days to come it will
without doubt be a commercial utility.
It is even now a regular and depend
able means Of carrying the mails.
Transatlantic flight, which this shop"
to the Azores proves practicable, can.
not be rated as merely q sporting prop
osition. It will have its development
in practical lines just as surely as
there has been advancement from the
soaring wings Of Elienthal to the
planes Of Guynemer, Lufbery and
Fouck.

Pistol Carrying and Pistol Getting.

A term Of ten years in prison was
given yesterday by Chief Justice Nc
Coy to q pistol carrier, with the pur-
pose, the court announced, Of setting
an example. Such q term is none too
severe for one who secretly arms him
self and menaces the lives Of others.
1t is to be hoped that the maximum
penalty will be applied in every case.
But it must always be remembered
that only very small percentage of
pistol carriers are detected. The way
to reach this evil is to prevent the
getting Of guns, within this jurisdic-
ton, by persons who have no right to
carry them and who are in no need Of
them. This can be accomplished only
by law which will put q penalty
upon the selling or giving or e1chang-
ing of a deadly weapon without the
presentation of a permit issued by
designated official who is to pass
upon all applications. Until such a
law is enacted pistol carrying will re-
main a standing menace to society,
and even the longest possible terms Of
imprisonment will not reach the root
Of the evil.

new men who show talent and taste
for congressional work will have their

Some old, familiar congressional

Playing Politics at Berlin.

Evidently a political game is being
played in Berlin on the score Of the
peace treaty. Pan-German elements
are urging peremptory refusal to sign,
while the socialists are proposing sig
nature with the evident, hope Of tur-
moil resulting. The Ebert government,
dependent upon both factions for
maintenance, is in difficult position.
PanGerman papers having insinuated
that the government intended to sign
the terms, semi-oficial announcement
las been made, according to dispatch
from Berlin, "that these insinuations
strike a false note and that the gov
ernment is fully united in its inten-
tion to carry out its recently stated
policy of declining to sign the COM
pact"
The force of this statement, however,
Is somewhat weakened by the decla-
ration that the government will not be
forced "into hasty yes or hasty
basic no." and that it is determined
to abide by it's original stand on the
unbearableness and impossibility of
fulfilling the present peace terms. A
way out of the dilemma in which the
government now finds itself is sug
gested in the statement that it will at
tempt to negotiate an understanding
eliminating in peace of justice.
Junkerism in Germany would un-
doubtedly be glad to see the govern
ment refuse to sign and renew the war.
Socialism, recognizing the futility of
further warfare, prefers taking a
chance on the basis Of the peace treaty
leading to changes in the future map
of Europe. The Ebert government is
evidently trying to maneuver itself
into position Of acquiescence in the
terms without alternating 'either side.
Probably if the full text of all its
statements were available in depend
able translation many loopholes would
be found. German state papers are al
ways susceptible Of varying interpre-
tations.
Chancellor Scheidemanl, in reply to
. deputation from the regions threat.
ened under the terms Of the peace
treaty, says that the cabinet was dis
cussing counter peace terms based
without restriction on President Will
sons principles. This indicates that
the reply Of the German delegates, due
next Thursday, will consist in a pro-
posed revision of the treaty in accord
anee with the German conception of
those points. Its prompt rejection as
unacceptable will undoubtedly follow,
and then the government at Berlin
must finally elect which course to take,
peace or war.

Emigration and Immigration.

simple reason that. until now, no such
question has existed in America. While
millions Of people have been coming
in, practically nobody has been going

lure. but a lasting attraction upon
close inspection. Those who have
come to examine have remained to
enjoy.

tries whence they came. Various rea-
