These caissons will be sunk by the
pneumatic process-by compressed air.
II all goes well with the recommenda-
tions of the engineers, my purpose would
be 10 sink the two caissons for the two
main river piers, the supports for the
main span of the bridge, at the same
time"
Mr.. Modjeski said that there was
danger Of caisson disease for the men
working in the caissons. Modern meth
ods, he said, have reduced this danger.
AS many as twenty four men, he ex-
planned, can work In a caissOn at time.
When the caisson work Is started the
men are on shifts of four hours each.
When depth of eighty feet below water
level il reached, when the pressure on
the men below IL great, the work IL done
In two hour shifts.
The temperature In the calssons be-
comes very high as the depth is in
creased. Therefore the air for the men
is cooled by passing 1t through water
cooled pipes. AS the caisson is sunk the
water Is displaced by heavy pressures of
air, Each caisson will be seventy feet
wide and 145 feet long. The height,
probably from eighty to 100 feet, will
depend on the depth Of the bed rock ~,

gle in her bedroom. the blows. the
maniacal look she saw in Herbert 7.
Iiegler's eyes and the fatal shots. She
is on trial for Iicgler's death.
Mrs. Orthwein told of the frequent
quarrels, the inccssant drinking. the
jealousy engcndered by his attentions
to other women: then the breaking
into her apartment and, finally. the
quiet that remained as she pillowed
Ziegler's head in her lap and thought
over her life with him. She testified:
II ran over and pleaded with him 70

She recitcd the visit 10 her apart
ment by Ziegler and said that he hit her
and knocked her down.
II went right over tho bench and
hit my head on the bed. right here,
she said. pointing to spot on her head.
He said IN Kill you. and called me-

He staggered over and fell on the

lift him on the bcd?'
No. sir.
AT the time YOU fired the shot what

After he fell on the bed what did

next step is to swing the cables. First
we string ordinary cables or wire ropes
from tower TO tower. right under where
the main and permanent cables will
hang. A temporary pathway will be
made of the wire ropes-with planks
strung across--on which the men can
work on the main cables.
Here will begin the work of string
ing the main cables. Each of these
main cables is thirty inches in diam
eter and is composed OF $4,000 small
wires. Each of the small wires is
strung across the river and as the end
of each length is reached, it is spliced
to another length and so on, back and
forth, across the river until all is done
like a spider spinning a web.
Now we have the foundations, the
steel towers and the cables. Next, we
main cables what are called stiffcninG
trusses. These stiffening trusses, SC
called. are used to hold up the flooring
of the bridge. Then the bridge is prac
tically completed.
And the engineer made few motions
with his hand and said again: Very
simple; it is done.
Barely Start" This Year
Mr. Modjeski said that a new fea
ture in the construction would be the
sinking of inclined caissons on land,
under the anchornges. for the purpose
of balancing the pull of the cables.
How much work will be done this
YEAR, the chairman was asked.
This year was the reply, I've
will barely make a start. II will re-
quirc about three months for prppar
ing plans and about three more to let
the initial contracts. Meanwhile. OF
course. we will be making the addi
tional test borings. So that actual
construction will get under way in six
months.
How much will be completed by the
end of next summer was another
question.
I've will have the main foundations
about half completed, replied the
chairman. at is fortunate that We
have lot of sand here which will make
for quick sinking
Mr.. Modjeski said that the number
Of men on the job at one time would
vary. but that the maximum. actually
at work on the bridge would be about
1000.

Every Available English Soldier

Immediately
TROOPS TO BE PROTECTED

speciar cosis Dispatch. Copyright. 1871
London, June 2S.--I. now promises
10 be war to the finish between England
and Ireland Every available soldier
England can spare is being sent to Ire
land. Martial law Is probable.
This situation Is made clear in u
announcement yesterday by Worthing-
ton Evans. Secretary Of War in the
House Of Commons during the debate
on the Irish question.
"we are sending more troops" said
Mr.. Evans Extra battaiions went
last week and more are going as quickly
rs they can. II is necessary to support
the troops In Ireland, who are doing
duties which must often be distnsteful
10 them. with the full weight of Eng
land Therefore all troops available will
be sent to their support.
Mr.. Evans said he had been urged to
extend martial law to Ireland. He
could not discuss that but added, II
can tell the House that IL is one Of the
matters being considered. IL is the in
tention of the Government to do every
thing in its power to protect the SOL
diers in ireland"
Hopes that the Kings visit to Bel
fnst would be made the occasion for a
Government enunciation of more lib
eral policy toward the Irish were shat
tered by defeat in the House Of Lords
Of Lord Donoughmorc's motion 10 grant
Ireland fiscal autonomy. Defeat was
BY a small margin. as the Governments
rejection was secured by GO to % votes.
Lord Birkenhead's speech left no
ooubt in the minds of his hearers that
unless q settlement is reached, and un-
less the Southern Parliament functions,
there will be military domination cam
psign Of a character similar to that en-
ployed in South Africa against the
Beers. For the first time a British
statesman. speaking in behalf of the
Government. admitted there is war in
Ireland. and furthermore that the Brit
ish military has failed.
That 1t Is the intention Of the Gov
crnment to employ every ounce of its
power in SCATTERING the Sim Fein force
plainly was indicated in this sentence
"Whatever efforts are required to deal
with the actual situation in Ireland will
be forthcoming.

LOGGING OPERATIONS,

ting Big Supply for Mill

With a sufficient quantity of logs
on hand at Plant No. 1 of the Crook
ston Lumber company to run the mill
for at least two-thirds of the coming
saving season, operations at the six
logging camps have been shut down.
Two train loads of logs have been
the past few months, one over the
Red Lake line and the other coming
over the Minnesota & International.
Weather conditions have been such
that the entire cut of the camps has
been brought directly to the mill. The
plant will undoubtedly be opend
about the middle of April and
heavy saving season is looked for.
Although the season this year was
somewhat shorter than last year
good cut of logs has been made, since
the logging operations were favored
with excellent weather. The camps
were closed down in May last year,
and the company has planned to con-
tfnue the camps until July this year.
have been made, how
ever, to reopen two of the camps
early in the fall.
Between 600 and 700 men were
employed in the Crookston camps
during the winter, the camps being
located at Kelliher, Gemmell, Nebish
and the the head of Lake Bemidji.
The Bemidji Box company is con-
tinuing its logging operations, al
though the camps at Orth and Miz-
pah have been closed. Another camp
at Northome will probably be closed
