A Suggestion.
Would it not be a wise idea, in
stead of destroying all the heavy
coal, rice, sugar and other sackt
| which are emptied by the mer
! chants and others in town, to lay
i them aside, and let the Chamber ol
Commerce make arrangements tc
have them collected at intervale
and cached away for use in case an
attempt is made to turn the glaciei
stream this summer. These sack*
i tilled with gravel would he of great
‘ use in building dams, or strength
ening the banks. This may seen
■ like a small matter, but every little
helps.

BRIDGE FOR LAKE 8TRBAM. J
Money Already Raised. Special \
I Meeting Chamber of Commerce.
At the special meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce held Friday
evening, the committee who had
i charge of the collecting of money j
for bridging the streams lietween
here and Lowe river, reported that
$210 was suliserihed and more
would lie forthcoming if needed.
As this amount would cover the
estimated cost of the bridge neross i
the lake stream, it was decided to'
proceed with the work. A commit
tee consisting of A. J. Adams.C'has.!
Crawford and K. Rudolph was ap-j
pointed, and instructed to decide
on the location of the bridge, and
have plans and specifications
drawn, after which the Chamber
will advertize for bids on the job.
It is better to postpone bridging
, the glacier stream until the snow
; has left the flats, for it would l»c
j nearly impossible,before the ground
' is uncovered, to determine the pro-'
per location.
