BRIDGE ACROSS M EN DENHALL IS
 NOW COMPLETED
Dishaw Finishes Big Bridge
 Structure Is Accept ed by Government

With the formal acceptance Fri day of the new $50,O00 steel span bridge over Mendenhall River on Glacier Highway, traffic on the main line of that route is restored to normal, it was announced today, L. w. Turoff, engineer in charge of Glacier Highway and other roads in this district, made his final in- spection and acceptance of the structure yesterday, for the United States Bureau of Public Roads.
 The bridge was constructed by Alfred Dishaw & Son, local con- tractors. Tt is an excellent piece of work and the project was com pleted well within the allotted time," MT. Turoff said.
 The bridge is 240 feet long and consists of two 12O-foot spans. In addition there are two 19-foot ap- proach spans. On the earth ap- breaches to the bridge 5,7O0 cubic yards of gravel were required for surfacing. In the three piers on which the bridge stands, there are 167 cubic yards of material. The structure is 20 feet wide, giving am- pie clearance for cars to pass on it.
 For the past two or three weeks, through the courtesy of MT. Di- shaw, necessary traffic between town and points north of the river was permitted to cross the bridge
 thus eliminating the long detour around the Aux Lake loop
 ! Work on the Thane project, MT Turoff said, is progressing satis- factorily. The entire right of way
 has been cleared. Grubbing is about one-third co mpleted,; and one
 fourth of a mile has been graded

TORONTO, Ontario, March "a
QNSO.-Scientists for centuries
have had two dreams, both seem
ingly impossible-one was the
attainment of perpetual motion

base metals into gold. The lat.

announced today at the Univer'
sity of Toronto.
The success won by Prof. j. G.
McLennan, director Of the physics
department, and by his two re.
search assistants, J. F. Allen and
j. o. Wilhelm, was said to be,
however, purely academic.

WATSON VIEWS
NEW CONGRESS
WITH ALARM
Vigorously Opposes Calling
Extra Session Because of
Parties Lack of Control
'"The new Congress will
simply raise CAIN"

'"The new Congress will
simply raise CAIN"
This is the hard-boiled, practi-
cal politicians view Of the situa'
ton which would be created by
the calling into session Of the
Seventy-second Congress at this
time and the same view extends
to what will happen when the
Congress convenes in regular ses'
sion in December.
Senator James Watson, Repub-
lican leader of the Senate and
haiIing from the State of Indiana,
where politics Is both q prOfeS-
sion and an art, voices the view
Of the Old Guard when he pro
fesses q "hOIy horror" Of the
new Congress.
To Play Politics
In the opinion Of Senator Wat
son, the new national legislature
is going to be so evenly divided
that it will be virtually impossible
to get through much legislation
Of q constructive nature.
The first session Of the Seventy
second Congress, as Watson and
other leaders see it, will simply
be devoted to playing politics.
Foe Of Special Session
Senator Watson is one Of the
most violent opponents Of a Spe'
cial session, and talking to a
group which was urging such a
session, the Republican leader
said:
with Congress half Demo
Crat and half Republican and
with Presidential election due
in the next year, what will
Congress do but play politics.
It will simply raise cain"
When one of the delegation
asked the leader if this meant
that the new Congress would play
politics with human starvation,
Senator Watson replied:
Certainly"
Other Senators take much the
same view Of the situation. Sena.
tor Burton K. Wheeler CD of
Montana, one Of the Progressive
group, sees no good results which
could be obtained from a special
session except possibly a good
psychological effect.
