THE STATE BRIDGES

Bridge Engineer Kirkham an
nounces that the plans for the Mo
bridge BRIDGE are complete and that
the structure will cost $4,000
against his preliminary estimate of
$2S3,000 The plans for the Rosebud
bridge are as far along as it is pos
Sible to Get them until the exact loca-
tion is determined. 1t is said that
there are local political and commun.
ity complications that are holding up
the final location of the structure.
Chamberlain has about all if not all
of the money for her bridge ready to
deposit with the state treasurer; For
est City has produced large portion
of the funds needed for her bridge and
gives assurance that it will be all
ready before autumn. Thus the con
struction of four of the five great
bridges is imminent and perhaps by
winter work upon each of them will
be progressing. The fifth, the Pierre
bridge, is second in the regular pro-
gram, that is, it is the second to be
built and paid for directly by state
money, but it is not probable that it
can be undertaken until next year but
it Is reasonably certain that by the
time the next legislature convenes that
some of the bridges will be finished
and that all of the others will be under
construction.
The one-tenth mill state bridge
tax has been paid in for two years,
producing about 100000; the govern
ment adds to this 90 per cent so that
there is at this time about $640,000
available to apply upon {. flrst two
bridges; this sum will be more than
sufficient to build the Rosebud struc.
ture and leave good chunk for the
Pierre plant In the other cases the
money is produced locally and will be
paid back by the state and govern.
ment as fast as the funds for the pur.
pose accumulate in the treasury.
The first bridge undoubtedly to be
ready for traffic is the Yankton toll
bridge, the sub-structure for which
IS already in, and awaits the steel
which is being fabricated and upon
the contract for which the people Of
Yankton have paid 100000. From
the first the company has stood reso-
Iutely upon the proposition that no
debts should be contracted but that
everything should be paid for in spot
cash. 1t has been great strain upon
the business men Of Yankton but they
have pluckilv stood by their guns and
have ACCOMPLISHED the accomplishable.

GOT THEIR PICTURE IN
THE SUNDAY PAPER

The Houston (Texas) Post of Sun.
day, July Is, contained very good
picture of the j. H. Bundy family of
Wood and the Durant sedan in which
they made the long journey down into
the Lone Star state and back again.
The following appeared in the paper
about the Bundy's trip to Houston:
Some question has been raised as
TO the adaptability of closed cars for
touring, and to help answer this ques-
ton we will refer you to the above
picture Of the Durant sedan which
belongs to j. H. Bundy of Wood, 8.
d., and to the account of his cross
country trip recently made in it.
Mr.. Bundy, accompanied by his
wife and two daughters, one of whom
is Miss Ardeth Bundy and the other
Baby Lois, who is only one year old,
arrived in Houston a few days ago,
after making the trip from Wood, S.
D., distance of 1897 miles.
" A log of their trip shows that they
left Wood, S. d., driving to Drumming,
Neb., and there were held up by heavy
rains. After the rains ceased, they
left Brunning, driving to Caldwell,
Kansas, making many detours on ac-
count of washed out bridges and roads
From Caldwell they drove to Enid,
Okla, deteuring number of times.
and traversing roads which for many
miles of the way were covered with
water. Leaving Enid they detoured
to Oklahoma City and were forced to
wait there, as the bridge over the
North Canadian river had been
washed out by the heavy rains. When
this had been repaired they proceeded
or their way, passing through Fort
Worth, Austin, and Richmond, Texas,
arriving in Houston June Is, 10 days
having been required for the trip Of
nearly 1900 miles, which as the mar
rative shows, was made during time
of most unfavorable road conditions.
Such trip as this should convince
anyone of the dependability of Durant
cars, and the possibilities of touring
in closed cars.
"Mr. Bundy is brother of DR..
Thomas L. Bundy, DR.. Murray M.
Bundy and Mrs. Fred Autry of this
city; and when his visit is completed
will return III his sturdy Durant se-
dan to his home in Wood, S. D."

los conceptos filosoficos que la enga-
lanan.
De Blasco Ibanez, podrfa decirse,
que tiene varias epoca en- SUI litera-

Para mi, ell autor de "Flor de Ma

es ell mejor novelista de la peninsula
iberica. Felipe Trigo, ell suicida he
roico, es n columna gigantic y adj
mirable que LENA de sensaciones al

BALTIMORE, Md, June 4.-Wayne
B. Wheeler, general counsel of the
Anti saloon League, in an address
here yesterday declared that the
plan of the "wets," as revealed by the

hibition enforcement laws.
This plan," said Mr.. Wheeler.
means clean-cut notification of the
Constitution, and, if successful, it
would make the United States the
laughing stock of the world and
would demonstrate that democracy is
failure"
The plan of the vets to get not

flood of intoxicating beverages. back
again." Mr.. Wheeler continued. lis
revealed by the repeal of the New
York safe enforcement law, signed
by Gov. Smith. In the first state it
has been able to control the liquor
element has blotted from the statute
book the entire law controlling traf-
tic in liquor. 1t will do the same in
every state where the friends of law
and order are asleep.
1t is just as unlawful now to sell
intoxicating liquor in New York as it
is in any other part of the country.
but 1t is far ssafer. 1t encourages ir-
reverance for law by destroying all
the machinery for it's enforcement.
But the plan has no chance of
success" he added. For upon this
very issue the opponents of the eight
eenth amendment will be defeated
more decisively than they were i'll the
contest for the adoption of the
amendment.
The will of the American people,
aroused to action, wrote prohibition
on the statute books and in the fed

will is active and alert il can hold
the ground ii has gained. The vets
constitute only a small minority of
the people of the nation"
