Historic Camp Nelson Bridge Is
Largest Wooden Span in World
(By Percy II. Landrum)

J,

Quaint in design, artistic in appearance, perfect in workmanship,
briefly describes the largest wooden
bridge in the world standing today,
which has spanned the Kentucky
river at Camp Nelson, for nearly a
century. Could this old structure,
which reveals the works of a past
generation, speak, many would be
the tales it could tell. From the slow
moving ox carts to the swift, powerful motor driven vehicles, this ancient bridge could vividly describe
progress.
In 1920 the State Highway Department decided that this old
bridge was becoming unsafe for
heavy motor traffic, and the result
of their decision was the construction of a new steel and concrete
structure some few hundred feet
below the remains of the old one.
The original bridge was left standing and is being preserved as a
relic of historical importance.
Somewhere around the year 1830
the state of Kentucky set to work
building this bridge. It was not an
easy task, especially for the crude
tools of construction which were
used In those days. After months of
faithful labor one of the greatest
engineering feats of slavery days
was completed. The people of Jessamine county rejoiced, as well as
other people of this state and others. This feat meant the connecting of the Blue Grass with the
South. It was the southern gateway

to central Kentucky.
In order to preserve the bridge it
was "boxed" in, and covered with
large walnut and poplar shingles. A
partition is in the middle and traffic was directed through on the
right from each side, thus avoiding
the passing of other vehicles on the
bridge.
For nearly 75 years a toll was
charged passengers according to
their mode of transportation and
weight of load. This toll was taken
off at the beginning of the twentieth century, and from that time
until the new bridge was built the
use of it was free.
Mr, Harvey Masters, 85 years old,
of Lexington, who formerly lived
near the old bridge, claims to have
hauled the heaviest load across it
during Its early and middle history.
Mr. Masters transported supplies
for the Union soldiers quartered at
Camp Nelson during the Civil War,
and he says he hauled 15,000 pounds
across the bridge at
of food-stu- ff
one time. Five teams of horses were
necessary to pull the load.
Mr. Masters, now bent from the
weight of the years gone by but still
about his work, says that the best
timber that could be found was
used in the bridge and its construction was a tedious Job.
Today people travel great distances to see this quaint structure
and it is hoped that it will long
remain as an example of the works
of a past age.

BONES OF HUGE

ANIMAL FOUND
Parts of Skeleton of Prehis

toric Beast Unearthed in
Missouri and Brought Here
by Dr. Knsolving.

Dr. F. Kinsolving, of Hornerville,
Mo., made a special trip to the
University from his home in order
to bring the knee and thigh bones
of a prehistoric animal unearthed
in Missouri, to be analyzed by Dr.
W. D. Funkhouser. The animal is
thought to be a tyrannosauris rex,
or king of the tyrant lizards, but no
expert report has yet been made on
the bones.
As Dr. Funkhouser is now in
California, Prof. W. S. Webb is
taking care of the bones until the
former returns to make a further
analysis.
The tyrannosauris rex is supposed
to have been the most ferocious
animal ever in existence, being
comparatively small at the time of
its days on earth, approximately
500,000 to 1,000,000 years ago. It
was about 19 feet from skull to the
ground, and 39 feet from its tall to
its nose. The knee bone, which Dr.
Kinsolving brought here is 12 inches
in diameter.

her treatment of this genius smacks

Joseph C. Graves' story, "Rlver

places him high among the rising
young writers of the day. Mr.
Graves has a style that is terse and
delightfully acrid.
In her "Speaking of Modern Poetry," Miss Sarah Lltsey again
opens the old but ever interesting
discussion of what is good and what
is best in the latest poetical works
of the day.
Significant and characteristic of
this new and popular magazine are

their work is always anticipated

women must stand up for ourselves or else who will?
The men are too busy with exhibiting the glories of
their achievements. Yes, they call on the women when
they find that they cannot perform a task themselves,
but of course they do not admit that.
On glancing over this paper one sees the varied
fields of activities In which the women of the Oregon
campus participate. They've worked hard during the
year with what they have had to do, and furthermore
have done these things well. Maybe they arc "darned
good dancers " but they can sell tickets to concerts

The women are usually found to be willing and

ON THE CAMPUS

Many of the students who hurry back and forth
between classes and then to their homes every day
fall to see the beauty of the University campus. Much
time, work and thought has been expended to make
the grounds attractive, and although in some few
spots the sod is torn up and building is still going
on, most of the campus with its lovely old trees and
flowering bushes and plants is a sight that many
visitors praise.
With the completion of the botanic garden, in the
near future another section will have been made
beautiful. Rare shrubs, trees and flowers, with stone
steps and benches combine to make the rolling slope

for nature lovers. When people from all parts of the
state come to see the gardens, as well as citizens of
other states, then there is all the more reason that
the University students take advantage of an opportunity to know their campus better.
