A RELIo.-We were shown by Mr..
James Barnard, of Eckhart, an old
and rusty driver, which was
found by Mr.. Barnard's son James E.,
on the spot where the Donner family
and others built their cabin in which
they starved to death during the
severe winter of 1846. This cabin
stood on the banks of what is now
known as Bonner Lake in Nevada,
and the party consisted of about sixty
persons who were endeavoring to pueh
their way into the great unexplored
and unknown Northwest when the
terrible winter set in, and owing to
the scarcity of food had to eat their
mules and hcrses, ana after they had
been consumed were compelled to
draw lots, and subsist off of each
other. There was only one left to
give IN account of the suferings they
endured.

The committee on roads and bridges re-
ported in favor of appropriating the sum of
5000 to repair portion of the Lake jose
phine road. Adopted.
The same committee recommended the
payment of 1924 for work done on the Sum-
NIT avenue road. The bill was warmly con-
tested by Commissioner Wagner, who op-
posed the payment of money on the grounds
that the road was not used to any extent by
the property owners.
A lively discussion ensuea during which
it was explained that the appropriation had
been made and that the only question to set
tie was whether or not the man had earned
his money. It was agreed that while the
work had been faithfully done it would not
be wise or practicable to expend the balance
of the appropriation. Mr.. Bohland contest
ed the general impression that it would be
throwing money away to make further re-
pairs on the road. Mr.. Rene, of the COM
mittee, not being present it was decided to
leave the matter open and to pay the money
in case he signed the bill. Adjourned.
