ties are that Mr.. Blaine will not get a

The House last Saturday, by unanimous
vote, passed the bill appropriating $4,000
for the construction of bridge across the
Grand river in Mesa county. One of the
conditions of the bill is that Mesa county
will subscribe an additional sum of $4,000
to aid in the construction of the bridge.
This bridge, if built, will cross the Grand at
u point about half a mile above the mouth of
the Gunnison. 1t is on the old Salt Lake
wagon road, and during great portion of
the year it will be an absolute necessity to
enable people, other than railroad travellers,
to cross the Grand. There have been during

attempting to ford the Grand, which is the
largest river in the State, aud one Of the
largest in the west
