declared himself and his road in full accord with
the program for bridge at or near Wolf Point. He
said he believed it would be great influence toward

Federal Officials Favor

FCoCFdi ODfCidiS dNOI
C. H. Purcell expressed himself
as convinced that the great de-
mand for a bridge here justified
the participation of the federal
bureau IL certain conditions were
met. He was certain that his
chief, Thos. H. SIcDonald, head
of the federal bureau at Washing
ton, would go through with his al
ready announced conditional ap-
proval of the bridge as a federal
project and would authorize fed
eral mileage that would include
the bridge site and connect it
with the Roosevelt highway.
Report of Engineers
The report of federal engineers,
who had viewed bridge sites at
Wolf Point, and the cost esti-
mates, based on their preliminary
examinations, were received by
the commission. These brought
a new element into the matter be-
cause of considerable difference
in the estimated cost of a bridge
at different sites. Only the re-
suits of soundings for foundation
can definitely settle the
matter of location which may be
at the ferry crossing at Wolf
Point, at the Macon ferry cross
ing, or some point between. Engin-
eers to make these soundings will
be sent here soon, probably witlt
in a month
On The 1923 Program
The business has progressed to
the point where the bridge has
been given a definite place on the
1928 highway program. All that
remains is to work out the de-
tails, of which there are many on
account of the various federal de-
)artments who have something to
10 with a project of this kind.
The financing of the bridge is al
most but not entirely provided
or, but has reached point where
10 serious obstacle is anticipated.

The trail blazed by Chick Gandll
through organized baseball is peck
market. He was suspected Of
knavery and thievery as far back
as 1911, when it is alleged he fig
ured in an attempted deal between
the Montreal club and the Ro
chester team in the old Eastern
League. Ed Barrow. then president
of the Eastern League, investigated
the case, but could pin nothing
definite on Gandil. and the case
was dropped.
Gandil has been mentioned OF
numerous occasions in connection
with this most recent outbreak
According to dispatches from the
Southwest, he has substantiated Inc
statements Of swede Risberg.
He was one of the leaders Of
the plot of 1919. If indeed he
were not the actual leader I'm
framing that series. II Is ad.
mitted that there was Nplenty Of
what the boys call "habus
grabus" in the season of 1920.
when the White Sox, best team
in the American League, lost

Commissioner Kenesaw M. Lands
characterized Gandil as a germ
carrier. Teams on which he play

infected with his virus. Scandals
seemed to flock around after him.
