1t is more natural to honor and
revere those whose deeds are of the

good done by our contemporaries
But the work and memory of the
late DR.. G. II. Douglas, assembly
man from Del NOrte county has
been duly and fittingly honored.
DR.. Douglas had labored for years
to get an appropriation from the
legislature for a bridge across the
! klamath river because, for lack of
! it. that northermOst county, with
! out railroad connection, was often
! eat off entirely from the remain
| der of the state, by extreme high or
low water. After his death during
the session of 1928. his colleagues
voted $225.000 for memorial
bridge. 1t was recently completed,
about three miles from the mouth
of the river, at cost of about
1925 900. 1t is ll47 feet long and
