Dear Doctor:
Glad to hear from you through the
columns of the REPUBLICAN. / sup.
pose you are by this time beginning
to see your way more clear along the
devious path of legislation. There
are many things you will see, but a
great many more things laying as it

"For ways that are dark and tricks

men throughout the State are agitat-

the fabric holds together for better or

safely say that there will be nc
amendment anywhere in school, reg.

intimately the interests of the people.
The machine is on top. There will
be no change in the school law, none
IN the registration laws. Patronage
will probably be increased. The Or

shadows forth reform. but to those
who are accustomed to look below

THE MULDOON WORKS.
They Are Leased to Colonel Ballantine
and Fulton Haight for Two Years.

Colonel Ballantine, who for the east
year has been Superintendent Of the
Little Wood River Mining Company's
mines and smelter, at Muldoon, has
leased the company's property for the
next two years, and, IN partnership
with Fulton Ha;ght, will resume active
operations soon. He expects to blow
in one furnace next week, and as soon
as the concentrating works now being
erected are in running order, he will
blow IN the second furnace. These
furnaces have a daily capacity of 4O
tons, and will therefore turn out a
steady stream of bullion, once the,
get to running regularly.
That tho leasers will do we'll, there
is no doubt; and the more money
they make, the better it will suit thu
people of Wood River.

THE CROY GULCA BRIDGE.
One Fad Of 1t Has Dropped, and 1t is
Impassable for Teams.

About II o'clock this morning the
farther end of the Croy gulch bridge
dropped about Is inches and rested on
the ground, just as two-wagon outfit
was crossing. The horses, having
already reached solid ground, were
halted at once, and a large number Of
men were soon on the ground. A
scantling was procured, the wheels of
the front wagon lifted, and the team
then pulled it out on the abutment.
The same operation was repeated with
the second wagon. William WeIuh's
Bullion express then arrived but it
stopped right there, and Superintend-
ent Ravens, who was aboard, took
charge of the mail bag and carried it
to the postoifice.
The water has risen so high, that
there Is scarcely any hope of saving
the bridge.
Nov is, therefore. the proper time
to repeat what the G1MEs stated last
spring, while the bridge was building,
to-wit: That 1t is too low by at least
two feet, and that the abutments
should be carried further inland, Last
spring the TINES was laughed at for
expressing this opinion, but now it is
proved to have been ri ght.
Yesterday a pillow and scraper were
used TO make new channels for the
river this side OF the bridge, but the
rise of water has been SO great that
the new channels have scarcely re.
lieved the pressure against the bridge,
The bridge being impracticable fo'
teams, all efforts are now direc ted to-
ward holding it there until the water
recedes.

Paying for the Right of WAY.

Mr.. Lamb returned from Boise a
few days ago, where he went on be-
half of the people of Boise, to raise
the $4,000 necessary to purchase the
right of way for the branch road from
Caldwell. Mr.. Lamb says that the
people responded promptly and cheer
fully. Over $33, 300 was paid in cash,
and the balance ia notes and subscrip-
tons payable in 60 days. The peo-
pie wanted the road built, and put
their best foot for~ ard, as we'll as
their cash.

Dangers Of UD. Country Travel.

Aron Morris got back from Vienna
to-day. lie says that the lads above
ketchum are well-nigh oblterated.
At the crossing five miles above the
smelter two mules belonging to the
Idaho Forwarding Company were
drowned while hauling wagon across,
and at the same place Mr.. Morris had
a narrow escape, as the water came up
to his waist. His horse swan with
the current, however, and landed him
on the other side, wet hut safe. The
stage that started up country this
morning returned to ketchum.
