raging. The railroad bridge is still firm
and in place, and this IS owing in a great
measure to the efforts Of Mr.. j. H. Keyes,
foreman Of the section gang which goes
west of town, who remained up Thurs
day night and cleared the bridge of ice as
it came down the stream Mr.. Keyes was
on hand all day yesterday and gives the
ice no chance to accumulate. The bridge

cable the true boundary line between the

doing the uncertainty will be prevented

nicipal affairs, and questions be averted
which may at any time in the near future
arise between the governments fwith the
growth Of population on the borders
Moreover, conceive that the willing and
speedy consent of the government of the
Chlted Slates 10 the proposal will be Civ
en- to thus determine the existing stIpu-
lated boundary with permanenee and pre-
cision which will III a measure give as
surance to Mexico that the suspicion
which OF late seems to have gained some
credence in that republic that the United
States has designs on neighboring terrific
rles is without foundation. The United
States only seeks definite settlement of
the boundary have to suggest that in
accepting this proposal suitable provision
be made for an adequate military force to
protect surveying parties from hostile In
dlans. The troops SO employed will at
the same time protect the settlers on the
border and help prevent nMraudlng on
both sides Of the line by nemadic In
dians.
