Rough and Ready.

Rough and ready" an expression
commonly applied 10 persons who are
willing. capable and efficient. but
somewhat uncouth In their methods.
has an origin in no way discernible
from the phrase itself.
In Welllngtons army, during the
battle Of Waterloo. was an intrepid
colonel whose name was Rough. His
first name does not appear in the
available records.
Wellington selected Rough for a
hazardous task that required not only
courage hut promptness as well. The
colonel chcerfully accepted the detail
and acknowledging his quick response.
the duke said
Rough. and ready"
Colonel Rough was So pleased with
the compliment from the duke Of
Wellington that he adopted the phrase
as his family motto. Later IL became
slogan In the British army. and
finally found its way into everyday
language.

SAN FRANCISCO TO
HAVE GREAT BRIDGE
Project Is to Connect the City
With the Mainland OF
Alameda County.

San Francisco's "Chinese wall" as
some have called the waters OF San
Francisco bay, which separates this
peninsula city from the continental
mainland of Alameda county, is TO be
crossed. according to plans announced
here recently.
All the plans call for Il bridge across
the bay. with one scheme proposing a
tube to Yerba Buena island, half way
across. aud II bridge the rest Of the
distance
Bridging the bay would. 1t is
claimed bring closer together the city
Of san Francisco with the cities OF
Oakland Berkeley. Alameda and
other points on the continental side Of
the metropolitan area.
Daily hunrdeds OF thousands Of peo-
pie who live across the bay cross on
the ferries, and generally, on Sundays
and holidays. the ferry systems can
not keep up with the crush OF automo-
hiles seeking passage across.
Engineers are discussing the type
OF bridge TO be built. The proposal
10 utilize lerha Buena island calls for
Il tube from the San Francisco side, a
railroad around the island and sus-
pension bridge to the end of one long
ferry pier already built. Another
scheme is TO cross the bay with
bridge over the shallow waters lead.
Ing 10 the lower sections of the har-
Dor.
Gustav Lindenthal, widely known
eastern engineer, has drawn set Of
plans for proposed bridge, II was an
nounced IN san Francisco, and A. ].
Rich. san Francisco financier, has de-
clared that the money for the bridge
proposed by Lindenthal can be raised
without difficulty.
Chambers Of commerce on both sides
Of the hay, together with the San Fran
cisco Motor Car Dealers association,
are supporting the proposals.
