BIG BRIDGE SOUGHT
BY SAN FRANCISCO
Delegation Visits Capital
to Get Permission for
$4,000, 900 Project.

San Francisco sent an influential
delegation to Washington last week
in quest of Federal permission to build
an $50 900, 900 bridge across its famed
and pit turesque bay. If the project
can be carried out, the bridge will be
the longest in the world, extending
for miles from tip to tip. 1t will
rise $50 feet above the level of San
Francisco Bay, have two decks, each
40 feet wide, and be constructed so
that shipping will pass underneath at
any point Two of the spans are to
be a third of a mile each in length.

lance of san Francisco Bay in the
national defense scheme, the permits

also signed. Mr.. Riley claimed that
Solos knew he had no funds in The
bank but insisted on the check as adj
ditiOnal security for the payment of
the money for coupon book. Mr..
Sofos claimed that Riley informed
HIM that he was transferring his
i money from Wolf Point bank to
the Hill County State Bank of Havre
and that he took the check in paw
ment for the coupon book and one
months rent on the house.
Some time after Riley left Havre
Sofos took the check to the county
attorney, had him draw a complaint
which he took to Justice Williams
and swore out warrant for the ar
rest of Riley who was at this time in
Poplar. Riley was arrested there
