Col. Gotwuls to the Cordova
Dailj Times regarding the plans
for the coming season lor road
work in this division is very
gratiiyirg, lor it is seen that
this v c inity will get its si are.

being aware that in order to de
velop the vast amount of miner
al on the other side of that
treacheious river, a vast amount
must be allowed.

est to goodness bridge is on the j
estimates it seems too good to

The future of our town de
pends on the building of trails
and bridges, and because of this
we are always optimistic even
in these dark days,, when there
is’nt enough income from the
paper to pay the printer’s wages
and buy the material.

Sunday January IGtli lor a

great interest is being shown,
A large number of entries are
