A CONSTANT MENYEE
The Nizina River wis unusu il
ly high during the pist month
with t le result lhat several ser
ious accidents have ocsural,
luckily with no loss of life.
Steals should at once be tiken
to have the.Niziiia I ridge com
pleted >r the pilings blown out
as they are a constant men ice
to man and beast.
Frequently the river has to
be forded above the bridge: in
this case if the rider gets into
swimming water he is swept
down under the bridge, hitting
the piling en voyage.
In the accident which hap
pened list Wediesiry, the
horse struck the piling head on
and then rolled over, with the
result that the rider nearly lost
his life.
The only course for us to take
at this time, is to present a pe
tition to the Governor signed by i
every residcntof this section &
endorsed by the Cordova Cham*
her of Commerce, telling him
exactly the conditions which
ex’st. That may bring the
m itter to an issue.
Tiie silvige crew his been re
c ille l this week, and no plans
appear to have been mile to
continue the work, notwith
st mding the fict t int 20).000 ft
of limber, value,! at $3)3)0
could h ive been s ived, hid the
crew not been cilleJ in.
Jt will not c >st much to re
bail l th e bridge, for the amount
of silv iged 1 imber on hand will
be a /m!j ibie asset.
It. will cis4, less to dvnimiti 1
i’i * pilings out of the way. As
they now’ stand they enise a
great danger, and any change
will be an iinproveme .t.
When is a bridge not ;
bridg? ? W i mi it‘s nfloit.

A professor suggests training
apes and chimpanzees to do
housework. Nothing to it.
Just about the time they were
well broken in somebody would
organize them into a labor union,
md they could certainly raise
hob if the> went out on a sym
pathetic strike.
