THE BRACKETTvILLE FLOOD.

BRACEErTylLLE, Tex, May 29.-The
flood has now disappeared and the wrecked
appearance of the town beggars descrip.
ton. Meat and bacon were issued to the
poor, destitute, homeless and starving
MeXicans. 1t was GodsenG for them as
they had not tasted food for "a hours. One
hundred or more Mexican families were
made homeless and destitute yesterday
without even dry piece of clothing left to
warm their chilled bodies. A house con.
tanning eight MeXicans, an entire family,
was washed away and all perished. Re.
port says the same fate befell Mr.. Gentry
and two children. The names of the
drowned are coming in very slowly, 1t is
likely that many Americans were drowned,
but the number of Mexicans will never be
known.
The favorable report from McKee's
ranch early this morning gave us room to
hope for the safety of life and property in
the surrounding country, but last reports
this evening force us to believe the destruc-
ton to life and property more disastrous
than first could have been supposed.

sheep, numbering l,40O head Philip

cts; But I do not advise any more
jurymen to come up here, as we have
two full sets of them now, who relieve
each other faithfully, and who know
no such thing as disagreement, par
ticularly in civil case, as they would
lose their fees (S2 0O) and mileage
and that would not pay, you know,
particularly in Winter, when you can
make nothing nowhere else. For in
stance three or four of them declare
that black is white, it is then the du
ty of the other two or three to swear
to it TOO. for it would not do to disa-
gree and lose their fees. Then there
is another popularity about oug YER

battery the aggresser is German he
is found guilty if he is the asgressed
and the aggressor is an lrishman the
latter is found not guilty, and there
fore there are two different laws fol-
the two cases. Namely; the German
must not strike, but it is quite Lawful
that he must be struck. Lately W,

Bridging Of snake and Clearwater
Rivers.

The ultimate interests of Lewiston
demand that there should be good
substantial suspension bridge across
Clearwater river, and also one across
Snake river, and the town will never
have the advantages in trade and COM
merce with the surrounding country
without them that it would reap if
they were constructed, and in our
opinion the cost of their construction
and management would more than be
fully compensated by the increased
business of the place in less than two
years after they We're completed. The
delays and expenses incident to the
use of ferries, though in each case it
may seem small, yet in the aggregate
it proves large sum each year to the
rural inhabitants who visit US foI
trade. 1t is estimated that first
class suspension bridge can be made
across the Clearwater for from 5000
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1880-02-13

to $2O, 900, and that o similar bridge |
can be extended across the Snake river
for a cost of $4,000. These would
accommodate at least 1000 persons
who trade here now as often as four
times in each year, and many more
who would trade here in case bridges
were built. The number of resident
adult men living in and about Lewis
ton who would be annually benefited
by such bridges to the extent of ten
dollars average each is not less than
1000. This would give us $40, 900,
and supposing there should be no in
crease Of number (while.there would
be prospect of an increase to 5000
the second Year, we would have $40,-
900 benefit at the end of the second
year. Then the benefit to the place
arising from an increase of business
from persons coming from beyond the
range of the immediate surroundings
of Lewiston would more than make up
the balance of the $4,000 at the end
of two years subsequent to the com
pletion of the bridges. Their con.
struction upon the above basis con
templates that they be built by the
public at their expense, either by vol
untary subscription or by taxation
Our estimates may be extravagant
but, admitting that they are, suppos'
we allow five years in which to get I
return of our money in the direct an,
indirect benefits of these bridges, ye
still the investment by the publ
would be good one, and one that TO
years, SO long as the bridges stand
would return to the public an annua
