wooden vessels to the Ship Construc-

The Scientific American has pub

proposed pontOon bridge which CON
tains the following interesting lnfor-
nation:
1t is now proposed TO utilize the
pontoon method of bridge building on
a very extensive scale by crossing
of the Hudson river from Ionkers to
Alpine. The width from shore to shore
is $500 feet. and the length OF the
pOnto0n bridge between the trestle ap-
proaches will be about 1890 feet. Pro-
vision will be made for the passage OF
Hudson river steamers by building
some form of drawbridge, probably of
the lift type, across the main channel
of the river. There will be enough
clearance between the water ana the
under side of the bridge TO permit or
the passage of river tows ana the
smaller craft. without opening the
drawspan.
The proposal to build pontoon
bridge at this point came hrst from
Major w. A. Welch, engineer OF the
Palisades Interstate park commission.

Good beef steers were quotabIe at

"Let me try
your tobacco"

Only an unlucky man asks you that.
He is either out of tobacco OF he isn't
satisfied with the tobacco he has
picked for himself.
Tosmoke a pipe tobacco that doesn't
suit you to a T is to feel little irri-
tated every time you light up.
Where you should Be taking your
comfort. you feel sore over something
riissing.
No one is so patient as a pipe
smoker. He will smoke one kind of
tobacco that doesn't quite satisfy him
until the COWS come home, or until
some trouble crowds him so that he
notices how little comfort he is actual
ly getting from his little old pipe.
But he hasn't been happy-dimly
he has realized it all the time.
And when he asks someone else for
pipeful and finally comes upon the
smoking tobacco that is just his-oh
me, oh my, but he's happy man!
He now gets out of his smoking
what Others get-the solid comfort
that takes the sting out of the alarm
clock mornings and helps his nerves to
relax at the end of hard day.

 Address by George H. Maxwell
 There was found on the desk of the secretary when the senate convened an invitation to the members to attend a meeting under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus next Saturday evening. to be addressed by David Goldstein, speaking against bolshevism The only other business of the senate was the reference of the governors message, the report of the state auditor and of the commissioner on uniform legislation to appropriate committees.
 Neither house transacted any busi- ness in the afternoon. but a joint ses- sion was held at o'clock. which was addressed by George H. Maxwell on the subject of conserving the water supply of the state and the reclamation of land on the 1000-foot contour. The address of Mir. Maxwell was along the same lines as one he delivered before the session two years ago, though yes terday he went more deeply into inter esting detail. AIr Maxwell believes l that by raising she waters of the Colo rado to the 1o00-foot contour. 2.500,o00 acres of land might be reclaimed, and i that by system of checking the flood waters of the Gila and it's affluents as many more acres might be reclaimed ] He urged the feforestation of the can yons, which would then invite a i heavier rainfall.
 l MT. Maxwell believes that there
 should be some state agency to CO., operate with federal agencies in these and other matters and deplores the fael that at present there is no such agency
 with centralized power.

 In the senate & bill was introduced by pr. sims forbidding the state from entering into contracts for labor. ma terials, supplies or printing, with per sons or concerns combining to prevent bids or fix prices.
 Another bill by Dr. Sims relates tc proceedings against public officials whose duties are to audit or pay claims who shall pay any claim not authorized by law In case such a payment is in tended and has not been made, the of ficer may be enjoined by the attorney general. If payment has been made the attorney general may proceed against both the officer and the paye' for the collection of the amount paid and an addition of 20 per cent.
