MEMORIAL BRIDGE
across the potomac
The Virginia delegation in congress
backed by public sentiment In that
atate and in the district of Columbia Is
again trying to procure the passage of
a bill appropriating $5,000,000 for the
construction of a handsome memorial
bridge across the Potomac river, from
some point near the Washington mon-
ument to tbe Arlington cemetery.
This project was warmly endorsed
by President McKiuley in his last two
messages to congress and has the ap-
proval of the Grand Army of the He-
public, which during its last annual
encampment in Washington, in 1902,
accepted a corner stone for the props-
ed bridge, made by the local stone-
utters' union. The chairman of the
board of commissioners for the dis-
trict of Columbia, speaking of the pro-
posed bridge, calls It "a memorial to
American freedom."
The Potomac river was the dividing
line between tbe nortn and the south
during the civil war. and a memorial
such as Is proposed by the bill of Sen-
ator Martin of Virginia, would be a
ale binding the two sections more
closely. Leading, as the bridge would,
to the most famous of national ceme-
teries. where thousands of union sol-
diers sleep beside men who wore the
confederate gray. It has the support of
public sentiment both north and south.
The people of Washington take a
direct interest In the bridge project
because of the difficulties which now
attend a trip to Arlington. By the most
direct route open to them at present
tne Journey is some miles langer than
necessary.
Those who oppose the bill pretend
to see in it a scheme of real estate
speculators to boom certain lands on
the Virginia side of the river, which
will increase in value with the build-
ing of the bridge. There are miles of
desirable residence property lining the
Virginia side of the Potomac, at pres-
ent unmarketable owing 10 the diffi-
culty of access. The proposed bridge
would open to Washington some sub-
urbs as beautiful as surround any city
In the world.

In a number of Kansas towns tho farm
crs and stock raisers have adopted i
beautifully simple system of fighting the
meat trust For a long Unie the price
of stock on the hoof hus bern low. while
the price Of meat products lias remained
close to the high level of two years. The
big packing companies of Chicago con-
trol practically all the packing business
and when the farmers complained, the
veply was that they might go to Tim-
bucto.
But the Kansas men have money in
the bank. They figured it out that small
packing plants, consisting of little more
than room for butchers to w.^rk. would
cost only a trifle. Such plants have
sprung up all over the state. While these
amateur packing houses 4 arry out none

heavily Into the business of the trust.
Here in Denver the Independent pack-

the business of the West. Nothing is

In 1*68 the revenue of the Empire was
but 33.000.000 yen, or $16,000,000. the
revenues for the past year amounted to

tures increased during the same period
from 30.500.000 to nearly 245.000.000 yen.
From a handful of ancient Junks the navy

worth In 1092, while the value of imports
has Increased from J10.000.000 to $28

CARS THAT WILL NOT CRUSH.
Milwaukee Journal.
The two disastrous railway wrecks that
have recently occurred but repeat history
in one despect. It was only the occupants
of the common day coaches who were
killed and Injured
This result Is not peculiar to these
recks. Tt Is ever noticeable that Pull
man carsfl and more especially the pri-
vate cars of Ihe railroad officials are proof
against serious damage.
This shows definitely that the railway
obmpanies can. If tl^cy will, furnish cars
that *111 not -tclest-opc" and crush like

Most of the wreck fatalities may be
attributed to the fact that tl.o common
coaches are Inexcusably frail as com-
pared with the mechanical possibilities.
Here Is a fatal negligence which. If It
is not criminal, ought speedily to bo made
in all states.
t is all well enough to Inquire Into
the causes of these wrecks and creatures

The highest ridge on uper Hominy creek
eight miles from the catholic school close
to the Jim Johns pasture In rho Osage
Nation. Is covered with about a hundred
carloads of antedeluvlan remains Adja-
cent to the ridge are several deep ra-
vines gulches and canyons, where wolves,
foxes' and other ••varmints" love to con-
gregate and make the nights hideous with
their howling, yelling and yelping. 1 ne
collection of petrified elephantine and
other different backbones coyer several
acres, and it is estimated that about 1®
carloads of the stony remains of prehis-
toric animals are lying on the hog back
resembling ridge Most of the preserved
relics of a long past period are largei
than the skeletons of the present ele-
phants and several of the bones are stilt
white. ' It is somewhat strange that no
remains of small or apparently y°""a
animals are seen In the collection. The
ridge is treeless and utterly devoid or
other vegetation. The highly elevated,
nntural museum of petrified antiquities,
deserves thorough inspection by expert
geologists and mineralogists. A local fe-
male scientist said the following about
the petrified "bone-yard:' "I guess the
animals that them are bones once be-
longed to ran away from the coming
flood. The young critters were too weak
to get up on the top of that are high
ridge. The thousands of big animals,
much bigger than ellpliants. perhaps
starved up thare. Then their flesh rot
ted or was eaten by t'irkey buxzarde;
then th «ue!«tor. got soaked and salted
In a sort of urine which presarved them
to this day. A ilme burner looked at th*
stony bones and said that he would some
day start a Ilme kiln up thare on the
hog-buck and bum them Inter fust rate
