the one bad, untamed river in the
state. they assert, and they back
up their beliefs with many tales
of wreck and ruin it has accomp-
lished.
State bridge engineers here,
while they admit the Cheyenne is
bad, say it is not as bad as its
reputation. Where the bridge is
located the stream is nearly a
half mile wide. necessitating a
span of 1859 feet resting on six
concrete piers and the two abut-
ments. Beneath this all steel
structure, the longest in the state,
will pass sometime during the
next month, millions of tons of
ice III cakes varying in size up to
the area of an ordinary city lot.
These will be dashed along by a
current which would do credit to
mill race.
Fully appreciating the strain to
which the concrete piers will be
put and reckoning on the possib-
ility of ice gorges forming against
the structure, j. +. Kirkham.
chief of the bridge department,
dcviated from the usual form of
pier in the preparation of his
plans and adopted what he claims
is pier which will greatly lessen
the danger of gorCing beside ad-
ding to the strength of the piers
Instead Of the usual wedge
shaped pier with point of the
wedge facing upstream, those at
the Cheyenne bridge will present
rounded front to the ice flow.
The chief advantage Of these, Mr.
kirkham explains, lies in the fac;
that cake of ice, instead of be-
ing cut into and held by the poin-
ted nose of the pier and thereby
forming the beginning of gorge,
will be pushed off by the current
or by the force of another cake
striking against the first.
While the designing engineer,
here feel sure that the new bridge
will be able to stand the strain o.
its initial test, they admit it i
not in the condition it will b.,
next year because of the fact that
the concrete is still green" 81,
months more, they say, and this
concrete will have thoroughly
hardened and will be impregnablc
to the assaults Of the river.
Flooring is now being laid or

was brought a bit closer to home,
when on Monday night the safe
at the Peter Mintener Lumber
company was opened and the con-
tents of the cash drawer stolen,
which was fortunately but Sl1.30.
The rober had little trouble in
gaining entrance into the office
and could have done so by going
in through the windows or the
back door. According to Mr.. Dor
win the robber must have been
familiar with safe combinations
because the safe had been locked
and the combination was worked.
After opening the safe q small
chisel was used TO pry open the
cash drawer. Only two marks are
noticeable on the drawer and the
Sc are close to the small lock. 1t
was pryed or sprung about a quar-
ter of an inch which released the
lock. A school warrant was nice
ly replaced and everything els in
the safe was left untouched ex-
cepting the cash. This is the first
case Of safe being opened and
robbed in the history of the town,
and merchants will undoubtedly
be on guard to prevent any more.
No clews have yet been unearthed
as to whom is the guilty party.

WOMEN'S COLLEGE
PLANNED At PENN
Acting Provost Penninan Says
Separate Institution May
Come in Near Future

Establishment Of separate college
for women in which they will have every
opportunity men students have is fore
shadowed in the pre- commencement
message Of Acting Provost Pcnniman, of
the University Of Pennsylvania. issued
today. He also declares that the Uni
versity has not relaxed Its efforts in the
campaign for endowment.
There have been persistent rumors
that the present coed system was un.
satisfactory and the intimation of q
separate college bears out the reports.
''One Of the problems IL that of pro-
vidng education for women at the Uni
versity SO that they may have access to
courses of instruction which shall be
in every respect equal to those offered
to men," DR.. Penniman said in the mes
sage;
this there are differences Of opinion, but
the majority of those who know the
University best are inclined strongly to
the plan for separate college for
women, CO. ordinate with and equal to
that for men. This solution is probably
within sight, although 1t is not possible
at the moment to carry It into effect.
CONTRARY to the general opinion
which seems to be held by some and
which has found expression in public
print the University has not postponed
action to some future time in regard
to campaign for endowment. but has
during the present year, through CO.
operation Of the trustees, the admins
tration officers and the general alumni
society, been gathering essential infor-
nation concerning alumni and others
who are and who ought to be interested
in the University.
