Yard No. 2 has been established for loading logs. RAILROAD BRIDGE DAMAGED
An accumulation of drift and a few heavy logs forced three bents from under the railway bridge east of town, about 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The track was not damaged, but owing to the length of the bridge between piers - about 75 ft. - it was considered unsafe, and a force of men replaced the bents. Section foreman J. R. Walker answered J. S. S. Powell's loud call when the accident happened, and took charge of affairs until repairs were made. LAWYER LOCATES IN FALLS CITY
Mr. Strayer is an attorney, being a graduate of the University of Nebraska, of the Lincoln Business College, and of the Illinois College of Law of Chicago. After finishing his academic education, for several years he was head of the commercial department of the Kewanee High School, Kewanee, Illinois. Upon completing his law course, he traveled extensively throughout the United States until he came to Portland. He then engaged in the law and abstract business there until offered a good position by the United States National Bank. This position he resigned after two years to come to Falls City, thinking there might be a broader field of activity here. He has opened a law office on the ground floor of the building known as the Finley Hotel. CHURCH OF CHRIST
Evening sermon: "Jesus the Carpenter". This is the fourth study in the life of Jesus, you should hear every one. The ladies are doing efficient work in their department. The saloon keepers in two N.

Mr. Calkins was a prominent citizen of Falls City for many years, having been a city councilman in 1898; auditor and police judge in 1900, and mayor in 1901.
