nouncement in another column. the
county commissioners, ut their April
meeting will consider the matter of
building bridges across the Medicine
river nc this place and sun CITY. Ii is
more than likely that appropriations
will he made for two bridges at least.
and that nj the July meetingthree other
bridges Will be ordered. First Of all. II
Is admitted that bridge is needed at
this place first, and The only difficulty
will be to select the proper location.
Several hundred petitioners have asked
that bridge be placed over the river at
the KiOwa ford, south Of Medicine
Lodge, and it is likely that the point
mentioned will be selected. Sun City.
Lake City and Kiowa all need bridges,
and Il Is To be hoped that the funds will
hold out SO that each of the places
named can be accommodated.
The bridge across Elm creek, at the
Curry crossing was completed this week
by the contractor, j. X. Sawyer, of
Wichita. The structure is 40 feet
long and cost $3.50. OF this private sub
Scriptions paid $3.50, and the county
will pay the balance. This bridge is 20
feet longer than the bridge across Elm
east Of town, but is built in much the
same manner. In addition to the bridge
in question, Mr.. Sawyer put in piling
for new bridge across Spring creek at
the Curry place, and also bridged the
slough east of Elm creek on the same
road.
In conversation with J. X. Sawyer
yesterday tie INDEX learned that he
had estimated on the proposed bridge
south of town, across the Medicine, and
found that il would be 210 feet, and
would not cost less than $1,000. He had
also casually considered the matter of
bridges across the Medicine at Kiowa.
two at this place, one at Lake City and
one at Sun City; and he gave IL as his
opinion that the five bridges could be
built for $500. II that is true, then
we think the county would make good
Investment II it were to order the five
bridges. Certain it Is that Kiowa needs
one, it is fact that two should be
built adjacent to this town. Lake City
and sun City have rights. Let us hope
that everybody win be happy

That people should continue to use
teas exported in bulk or paper pack
ages is only applicable on the SUPPOSE
tion that they are unacquainted with
the nature of the tea leaf. Experts,
however, are aware that this leaf is Of
the most sensitive character, and that
after brief exposure to the air it de-
teriorates in quality and flavor. Even
when packed in lead lined chests it
quickly loses it's strength and aroma
after the lead is cut. "Faultless Tea,
sold only by the importer, F. j. Bur-
byte, besides being pure tea of supe-
rior grade, is packed only in Pefection
Tea Cans, and therefore cannot part
with either strength or flavor.
