An Ingenious loose endMiutomoblln bridge to be used on the sandy Imuks of several washes In OrnnJ and Winery ouunlles east or tlreen lllver anil ThomMHin on the Midland trail has been devlMil by M. C. Ilamsey, II. I. 1'lalt nnd H. K. Wlntcrburn or Grand Junction, Colo., und the device has been officially adopted by the cham ber of commerce of the Colorado city. Hevornl of the bridges were construct ed thero last week and were put In placo by volunteer lalior last Hundsy. The creeks and washes on the des ert do not require regular bridges lis they uro dry pructlcnlly ull thu time. However, tho banks are uulte sandy In sumo places for twenty feet or ho and the approaches to the washes un less kept In constant repair glva more or less troubta to motorhts. Tho new bank brldgu Is unchorcd safely to the ground level several yards rrom tho stream by a "dead man," but tho lower end Is so arranged that It can bo washed loose by u strong current. U a freshet sweeps down tho wash und lifts the end of the bridge out It merely takea It to the bank where It can bo easily i-urrlcd buck by ono man to Its placu ut the buttom or the wash. The tires or the car travel In troughs, giving easy traction for even tow powered maohlncs. Those who have seen the model unite In tho belter that It will prove the solution of nil tho sand bank troubles on tho Midland trail. Two Hud Accidents.
