The long-talked of “Bridge of the Gods,” not the legendary one nor yet that mystical material structure so long the apparent offspring of superheated atmosphere which finally grew into a paper structure and then into a first leg of a real structure only to inspire a brief hope and then die in utter despair. Here is something really most promising, says the Pioneer of Stevenson.

Judge Miller and his associates have been east and entered into a contract for a bonding proposition in which the bonding company agrees too furnish the money necessary to build the bridge on the usual basis of one per cent of the surface value of the bonds with which to do the engraving and printing and to finish the necessary engineering preparatory to letting a contract for actual construction. It is necessary to raise $7000 for this preliminary work. If that amount can be secured at once, construction will begin August 1st, at which time $8000 will be avilable for payment of the first shipment of material. — Hood River News, June 13, 1924
