Teal hnvo begun to drop in at Honeycrcek

"IVly Impression , based upon what ought to
bo rdinbloInformation"observed President
McCormirk yesterday , "Is that next season
nti eastern and western baseball circuit will
bo established. However , I do not predict
this to a certainty myself , for sometimes I
think thai the only change will lie the com
plete collapse of the brotherhood , ' But tlio
eastern nnd western projeut Is a feusihlo and
iirobalile one. Already the cast is tired of
losing money , paying for IOIIR and oxjiciisive
trips to Ibo vest , and the proposition is re
ceiving eariiostconslderutitmby the magnates
of putting n .stop tosuchn waste. No ono for

last another season , anil the beat players of
the orgunl/ution will bo found HFxt5'cnr la

direction of tho-rlver , elicits frequent inqui
ries as to the nature of the work now being
done in that section by the rail road company.
In reply , the information Is given that the
company is filling iu Its trestle approach nt
the east end of the great bridge spanning the
turbulent Missouri. But this brief statement
falls to convoy an adequate Idea of the ex
tensive Improvements there lu progress. The
fill In question is over 1,000 feetlonR , seven
ty-five feet wide and sixty feet high and will
require200,000 cubic yards of earth.
When this work is done the Dnion Pacific
bridge will bo completed , leaving nn open
waterway 1,750 feet long and sixty-eight feet
deep above low water mark. The dirt is
being hauled lu from the company's pit near
Summit nt the rate of 1300 ! cubic yards per
day. It is expected that the worlc will bo
completed before the close of the present
year.
The filling was begun two years ago nnd
the worlc was prosecuted for about four
months. It was then" discontinued until ror
ccntly. when it win recommenced ana
another four months will ice the end of It.
The lilling was planned in connection with
the new bridge , but has been delayed until
the present time , although the structure was
formally tunied over to the company by the
uimuers uireo years niro.
This bridge is probably as familiar to the
average traveler as any aimllar strticturo in
the country and occupies an important place
in the nation's history , It occupies thusite
of the first railroad brldtfo widen , spanned
the Missouri river , and over which for years
the great bulk of the transcontinental trufllc
of the country pa sed.
Work on tho'oritf'iiial structure was begun
in IfrOft nnil the bridge was not completed
until IST'J. It wiis u single track affair ,
seventeen feet wide In the clear and twenty
feet outside measurement. It would bo n
very light structure for n railroad bridge
today , but at that time , when locomotives
weighed about thirty-llvo tons , Hat cars
l'iH ( , ( ) ( ) pounds unit ordinary box cars between
2:2X)0 : ( ) and ) , OUO , it was , perhaps compara
tively as strong as the structure that has
since supplanted it. Its spans weighed about
two hunurcd anil fifty tons each , whllo those
of the now structure weightwicotlmtatnount.
'J'hls uddititional weight docs not come as the
necessary Increase of n double track
over a single track bridge , but rather
us a change rendered necessary
! I Vi - t r f iM'ffi 1 jili ' 11 IM 11 frtll I lliT ct n bTil r
engines now in use wcicti from forty to sixty
tons , nnd box cars -10,000 pounds. JMcat cars
carrying twenty tons or moro of dressed
beef pass over the bridge every day.
The undue lightness of the olcf structure
was demonstrated ou August 1)5,18S7 , , between
Hand o'clock in the morning , when a heavy
wind swept two of the spans into the river.
The fearful fall of bridge watchman , John
Peterson , -who wont , down with them , nnd
Ills subsequent bravery lu swimming the
river in the darknessto , warn the east bound
train that -would shortly bo due , are facts of
well known local histpry. Of the tivo spans
that went down , tbo greater part is still
buried seventy feet in the sand in the bed of
tbo river whcro it fell. A iwrtion of ono
span -was tnkon to pieces nnd entered into the
construction of the new spans , because it fell
on the edge of tbo bank , nnd the water did
not interfere with its .removal. It vas found
necessary to cut out portions of the wrecked
spans that foil iiitho water , in order to secure
a good foundation fortho , frame work used in
putting up the now spans , but , thls work was
very slow nnd tedious , and so costly that it
would not have boon douo had it not been ab-
soiuioiy uecessur.v.
Work on tbo present structcro was begun
September 1,1SS5 , and on November 15 , bS7 ,
the new bridge was accepted by thecompanv.
During these two years of important
charges from the old to the new , travel was
not suspended for moro than nnhour.ortwo
ata time , and these delays werocaused ivhilo
Betting In the stringers for tlio tracks.
Tills work was generally done nt the noon
hour , so that the delays were comparatively
slight and of little moment.
On the 2d of the following Fobruar3'
the wagon bridge on cither side of the rail
road tracks was opened to travel , and the
now structure was then prpctlcnlly com
pleted. The work now being done Is really
something of n side issue , although provided
for iu the original plans for the bridge ap-
The bridge is fifty-six feet -wide over all ,
hut tbo space given up to.tbo railroad trades
is but half of that. There are ten spans , the
four main ones over the river being 1,000 feet
in length , nud the six deck spans , thrco at
each end , covering a space T50 feotlong. The
wight of the spans aggregates nearly 3,000
It 'might bo supposed tlint tlio oridgo would

the reverse , ' 1'bo veteran watchman is al
most as much of tv flxturo ns the bridge it
self , mid hus been there nearly as long. Ho
worked on it during Its construction , and suf
fered tbo loss o [ his" health while working iu
tbo deadly caissons.
"I have been bore so long , " said ho in re
ply to a question , "thnt I have almost
forgotlen how long It has been , it seems
very much like homo to me , and I should feel
lonesome anywhere dso. 1 know every Inch
of the bridge , and every bolt , fcraco and
stringer is as familiar to me us the members
of my own family. "
"I don't suppose It would bo possible to
formany thing like n correct estimate of tlio
number of times I have tramped back ami
forth across the bridge in the years that I
have boon hero. I keen cnthoinovo , looking
out for broken rails or cracked braces , nnd
calling attention to such minor repairs as be
come necessary from time to tlmo. There is

"I don't know Just how many trains go
over the bridge in a day. but there can't ' bo
short of ISO including the '
many , 'light1 on-
that puss baclc and forth to and from
the round house morning and evening. That
is hardly half as many as could pass if busi
ness pushed the company to the limit. An
ordinary passenger train passes a niven point
on the bridge in about a niinuto and a frclsht
train In about three minutes. At that rate ,
allowing fora proper distance between tboin ,
about two hundred trains a day -\vouldnuss
each way without any trouble , provided tlioro
were yard room at 'tho ends to handle them ,
The trains run slowly BO as not to rack the
bndgc , but that Isn't because It is weaker it
would ho dangerous , to run fust.
There Is a little moro vibration when
n train rolls over it at n
higher rnto of spoedi 'but ' there isnoswav-
ing nor trembling * The engineer who built
the bridge paid that a cyclone might move it ,
but I am satisfied that nothing else would , 1
was hero when the 'blizzard ' struck it two
years ago , but It didn't ulToct the bridge nt
all. Tliat wind would almost blow a man
out of his clothes , Und tbo company took of
the dummy trains 'hecauso they were afralt
that it would blow , thoih oft the bridge. That
wns an awful night. 'Vou couldn't see your
hand before your fnro , Tlio wind gets an
awful sweep across hero , and it swept the
snowlhkes alone at a fearful rnto. It was an
utter Imixmibilltv tbl face the storm. The
folksattho signal 'station dou' t know any
tiling nbout it. Till ) hills cut off tlio worst
of it there , but it conies down Ibis valloj
with nothing to stop it , nnd the way it whis
tics through hero Is a caution. I actually
believe it Is the coldest spot this side of the
north polo. Wo haven't had it very bad
since tbo blizzard.
"There hasn't ' been any very tough weather
In the past two winters , nnd all trains have
kept running. There Is weight enough ii
the brldgoto hold it down , and thcro isn't so
much surface exposed to the -wind a ) ouo
might suppose.
"This will bo a very lively pluco when al
the roads net to running over Into the union
depot , \Vhuii they took oil the dunlin ;
trains It nmdo quite a change , but It seems as
If there are moro than enough now ones to
take their place.
. "Tho biggest change that I have noticed I
n ivagon and foot travel since the other
hridgo was opcucd , When this vagon bridge
vas opened then ) was n steady stream of
ravel across hero nil day , but that Is all
going the other way now , nnd it Is the snmo
vith the foot passengers. Whllo the How
as ted , the company kept a man at each end
lay and night , Bat these nro goiio now , nnd
have to collect the tow fares thnt como
along. Lots of folks had an idea that this
vould bo n fearful place for horses on ac
count of the trains passing so near them , Imt
none of thorn over caused any trouble. The
hridgo is llxed so that they couldn't jump the
rail If they tried to. The driveway Is just
vide enough for n vehicle to pass , Those big
imbcrs nlong the side * keep the wheels
vhcro they belong , nud they have Iron guards
so that n horse couldn't get n wagon over
hem. No matter how much the horse
twisted going forward or backward , tbo
vagon would slide along the guard nnd stay
n the road ,
"The rail is four fcetnnda half high and ta
for golnc through it , you couldn't breaV.it
down with a box car.
"Another thing , horses always scorni'd to
jo afraid to cut up when they pin * p hero.
They were away up sixty fee1/ , above the
river , and seemed to feel that the best thing
, hcy could do was to porlib' < along and ut-
.end strictly to btislnesi.
"Thero is ono class I don't miss , and thnt is
the crooks. They stick to the bridge , and I
suppose they always will. If the police
tVuuted to catch them , hero Is the place to do
it. A good imiuvof them are tramps , and
prefer this route ns giving them a better
banco to catch passing trains. There nro
lots of them who po this way when they are
skipping between the cities. They naturally
Lhiuk that the other bridge will bo watehed
for them and that this one will ho overlooked ,
and they are right in nine cases out of ten.
riicro isn't ns much probability of their being
noticed hero i and I sec scores of them Avlio
nro undoubtedly wanted somewhere for
crooked work , It can't ' bo helped , and , of
course , I have to let them go.
"Thcro iirotramps who pass along hero until
t wonder where tboy nil came from. I suppose
Lhcro uro hundreds of them that I don't sco ,
for they watch for trains along the approach
es , and climb on board when they slack up to
cross the bridge. I never have any trouble
with them. Some of thorn arc tough , but I
don't hnvo tlino for any foolishness and they
know it. They don't try many bluffs , anil
the bluffs they do try don't work.
* 'Trl ' I Q lot ! 11 till /ill II rldtl rmi111 u tilnnstnctr * ntvm
folks imagine. There are sidewalks for foot
men , nnd there Is no occasion for them to
walk the tracks. It is the duty of the watch
men to keep them off tlio tracks oven If they
wanted to walk the lies , so that they are not
allowed to place themselves In danger.
"The accidents that have been located as
an the bridge were all on the approaches , nnd
Lhcy will continue just as long as people dis
obey the rules about walking on the track or
roadbed.
" 1 hear lots of people talking lately aliotit
the low water in the river. Vhey all declare
they never saw it so low , and that it is lower
than ever before.
"The fact is that it has been six feet and
fourinchos lower than it Is now. Kit was
is low ns that now you could \vailo across it
2OO hundred yards below tbo bridge. There
is something funny about the old Ivllssouri ,
rind that it geta shallower or deeper both
\ynys ata tune. Whnt 1 mean by that Is
simply this : When tbo river iisi-s the In
creased volume of water makes It cut at the
bottom and washes the bed deeper , and , pn
the contrary , when the river falls nnd there
sediment , and the bottom is raised accord
ingly. I have watched it here for years nnd
measured it every day , nnd I know that tuls
: s the case1.
"TUoro is something very strange and er
ratic about the river's actions. Ono day it
will fill In n sandbar , and the next it will
wash it out again , and leave a hole forty feet
deep. When the piers for the old bridge
were put down , the company dumped a lot of
broken stone around them to Iscop
the river from washing away the
sand from around the bases , That explains
why the spans of this bridge nro so short.
They are the sumo length as those in the old
bridge. Thcro was so much of thnt broken
stone around the old piers that the bailders
had to put the new ones about half-way be
tween thum , as the caissons could not be
forced down through the stono. The stone
had been dumped in such quantities that tbo
bottoms of the piles almost mot between the
piers. They did the same thing up nt the
other bridge. When the center pier was put
down it went through twelve foot of sand
before it struck hod-rock ; but , in a very
short time after tbo pier was down there
was hare rocks pn the river bottom
foradistuuco of thirty feet from the plor.
They had to dump In a lot of slag to hold the
pier in position , anil 1111 up for the sand that
had been washed out. Vou never Know what
to count on when the Missouri river is in
question. It makes mo laugh when tboy
talk about opening It to navigation. lean
toll thorn ono thing they can get rid of all
the surplus in the treasury In very short
order when they tackle that Job , and thcro
will always bo room for inoro. if the river
were only ns stationary as the bridge , it
would bo n very sensible plan , " and the
