HERE'S TO THE BUMPER CROP

People who doubt the growing pos
sibilities of Montana soil when the
weather mar gives it a fair chance
just ought to take a look at Martin
Mitchell's fields of barley and alfalfa.
He has a t~en-acre patch of alfalfa
in full bloom that stand about three
feet high. Martin is going to take
the first crop of hay off from the
patch this week. He says he planted
it just as an experiment and is only
sorry that he didn't put in a much
bigger field. His barley is all headed
out and stands nearly four feet high.
The heads measure four to five inches
in length. Mr.. Mitchell has been
away from home the past week cele-
brating the Fourth and he says he
much surprised when he got
home and looked at the fields yester-
day to see the rapid growth they had
made in that time.

ORDINARY WHISTLE TO
GIVE CURFEW WARNING

Because a few people were an
noyed by the manner of sounding the
warning and made repeated com
plants to Mayor Smith, the mayor
has requested Fire Chief C. L. Smith
to have the signal sounded by one
long blast blown like an ordinary
whistle without the crescendo and
dlmlnuendo which gives the siren eff
feet. The new style of sounding the
signal was begun last night. The
siren name of giving the signal is
popular in many cities because it vas
easily distinguished from ordinary
whistles, and was satisfactory to most
people here, but a few people were
annoyed and couldn't get ove it,
the mayor decided to accede to
their urgent wishes.

URGE NEW TYPE Of
ROCK CREEK BRIDGE
Conn. Avenue Citizens Push
Merits Of Design BY Min
neapiolis Expert.

Members OF the Connecticut Avenue
CitiEens' Association. headed by w. A.
Cowfes. OF the Patent Office. and At
torney Arthur Il. Dowell are seeking
consideration a design for a new
bridge over Rock Creek gorge at CAL
vert street, which they declare IL
more modern and much more econom-
zeal than the Totten design, approved
by the Fine Arts Commission and the
District Commissioners.
The old steel and plank bridge liz
declared inadequate to the traffic
across II. and to the heavy modern
Alton trolley cars which have sue
ceeded the 18-ton cars for which IL
was built.
Several years ago the bridge was
declared to be unsafe, and the brack-
eted sidewalks were cut off from the
sides and the supports reinforced. Be
fore the war steps were taken toward
erecting a new bridge. and a design
was made by G. Oakley Totten, of
Washington. The Totten design du-
plicates in general outline and appear
snce the Connecticut Avenue Bridge.
but dispenses with the open spandrel
treatment, making IL more massive
and heavy, and the proponents of the
new design declare more expensive
and less attractive. They especially
criticize the refuge bays at the ends.
The Totten design called for an ex-
penditure OF $4,000 before the war,
and is now estimated to cost 81 ,435, 900.
The design now being put forward
is by c. A. p. Turner, of Minneapolis,
reinforced concrete expert and bridge
and structural architect. 1t was esti-
mated to cost s350.00O before the war,
which figure Is now doubled by its
proponents.
