del armor WEEKLY ESTABLISHED 1859. WOODLAND, CALIFORNIA, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 5, 1908. DAILY ESTABLISHED 1877. BRIDGEWORK Done Under County Surveyor Ashley's Supervision. Description of One of Four Structures Being Built on Road North of Woodland.

The writer had an object lesson concrete bridge building today. 'County Surveyor Ashley' in constructing four bridges between the rallroad crossing near Coll's, grove and "the Nelson bridge, One of these has been com.pleted but travel will not be permitted over it for a few daya All these bridges will be 22 feet in width and will have two elght-foot arches. The space underneath le from three to four feet from the ground to the arch. The" manner of constructing these bridges is very Wooden arches are. put in and covered with heavy planke.

Upon the conclusion of the concrete work the arches and planks, are removed. The concrete t8 one toot thick at the center and seventeen Inches' at. the As the concrete la put down it 18 reinforced by corrugated steel rods three-quarters of an inch square that bave an elastic limit of 50,000 pounds to the square inch. These rode are put in- longitudinally six Inches apart, an inch above the, intradors and a toot below the extractors. They are also put in transversely, eighteen inches apart.

The sidewalls are made to Imitate stone and cement. They are three feet high on the outside and eighteen Inches from the dirt to the top on the inside. The arches are supported by an eight-inch pier and two-toot. abutments that are sunk two feet below any possible wash. Upon the completion the cement work the floor is' covered with dirt and gravel to the depth of ten or twelve Inches.

The cost of these bridges la about $200, and they are expected to last forever, Tho cost of a wooden bridge of the same size, It constructed economleally, would be about $100. But' they must be refloored every year. It thue be seen that It is good policy to construct all bridges, especially the squall ones, of concrete. From data we have seen we are fully convinced that it: is more economical to havo the concrete bridges constructed under. tho direction of the county surveyor than to have it done by contract work.

Mr. Ashley has 8 force of seven men employed, under. Gus Rasmussen as foreman. PURSE FOUND BY HONEST LAD Von Wednesday while I. Lasky was en route from the cometery to Woodland he lost a wallet containing certificates of deposit, greenbacks and other money of the value of $2000.

Fortunately the wallet fell Into honest hands The little son of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Brown found it and it was restored to the owner, who gencrously rewarded Master Brown, Mr.

Lasky will leave for San Francisco Monday, where he expects to engage in business. Mrs. Lasky is already there. Stie expects to return to Woodland about the middle of the month. She la very reluctant to move away from Woodland and it la possible she may not do 90.

OBSERVE SANITARY LAWS. Now that the summer season. 19 01 especial attention should be bestowed upon accumulations of decaying fruits and vegetables. It Is well established that such refuse throws off germs that are to produce fevers. Not only in places where perishable goods are sold, but in houses, especially those 111 ventilated, destruction of de-1 caging vegetable matter should be rigorously insisted on.

Careleas and others too economical are disposed people to let fruit rot slowly away instead of borning or boiling it for destruction after it. bae ceased to be eatable raw. This practice la among the most menacing in homes.

OUR WONDERFUL ATMOSPHERE Farmers say that the lateral roots on barley and wheat stulks are scarcely an Inch in length and the top roots are not long enough to reach molsture.

Indeed, the roots are all in soil almost as dry as dust. And yet the beads are tilling well, the berry is plump and the stalk maintains a healthy color. The explanation 18 all found in our wonderful life-giving, life-sustaining atmosphere. The grain crop f8 maturon the climate. Is there any other section of country in the world where such a thing is poselble? We do not believe it.

and Mrs. J. A. Ochs, Stoond Ceremony Performed Today in Woodland, Rov. J.

K. Stage of Davis Officiating. There are but few couples who have the experience of marrying twice within less than a week, but that Is what happened to John A. Ocha, of Williams and Miss Hattie L. Trotsman of Dixon, who were married shortly before the noon hour in the parlors of the Byrne hotol, Rev.

I. K. Stage of Davis performed the ceremony. They wero first married at the home of the bride's parents, near Dixon, on Sunday, May 31st. Rev.

Mr. tSage was also the officiating minister at that wedding. After the wedding Mr. Stage discovered that the license had been fasted in Sacramento county, accord1ng to law, the wedding ceremony should have been performed. He decided, however, not to spoil the pleasure of the occasion but to walt until the return of the couple and then have the mistake rectiffed.

Accordingly, hen Mr. and Mra. Ocha, who had been spending their honeymoon 1 in San Francisco, passed through Davis this morning en route to Willlams, where the groom resides, Rev. Stage mot them at the depot and informed them that their marriage was illegal. Acting upon the minister's suggestion, all parties came Woodland, procured another livenso and the marriage vows were taken for the second time.

Mr. Ochs admitted that the mistake was due to his ignorance of the law governing marriages. Mr. and Mre. Ochs both come from highly respected.

familles and doubtless they will be given a cordial reception upon their arrival in Williams.

Accidents will happen, but the bestregulated familles keep Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oll for such emergencies. It subdues the pain and heals the burts. CASTORIA Bears the signature of Chas.H.

The Appellate Court Decision Does not Apply to Proposed Yolo County Ordinance, At the last raceting of the board of suporvisors District Attorney Anderson was requested to prepare an ordinance extending the close season for doves Croni July 15th to September 15th, and the close season for. quall October 16th to November 1st.

By amending the game law in this way there will only be a month and a bait open season for doves. There are somo who are disposed to question the authority. of the board to make such amondments on the assumption that it cannot interfere with the state law. That this is an erroneous conception bused on a fulso assumption is shown 'by the following letter which Chief Deputy Vogelsang of the California Fish and Game Commission has sent out in reply to an Inquiry for information concerning the power and limitalion of authority of boards of supervisors: "Replying to yours of the 28th, beg to, say that section 4041 subdivision 25, statutes of.1907 of the county government act, gves the board of supervisors of the varlous countles the jurisdiction and power to shorten the season for the taking or killing of fish and game within the dates fixed by the state law, but cannot lengthen the same. This section has not been repealed, either directly.

or by impilcation. Some confusion has arisen out of. a decision of the Appollate Court of the Second District with reference to a dove ordinance of Loe Angelcs county. The ordinance was declared unconstitutiona! because it was unreasonable in that it permitted only one day open season. Had, It left the season open for a month, the charge of being unreasonable could not be, urged." Harsh physics react, weaken the bowels, cause chronic.
