Wood County Bridge.

Two weeks ago the Centralia Enter
prise gave notice that there was move
ment on foot to settle the bridge matter
by the County donating towards it's
erection $4,000 and the two cities sup
plying the balance. This report had
foundation or originated from some of
the northern members Of the county
board. l.. NJ. Nash made it his busi-
ness to see some of the parties in Marsh
field and on his return he reported in
effect that he thought an amicable ad-
justment might be brought about. Since
then the Marshfield Times in its last
issue comes out with the following
which would give the people of these
two cites to understand that Mr.. Nash
misrepresented them in his report:
The above statement so far as it re-
lates to the amount proposed" is with
out any foundation whatever Mr.
Nash, supervisor from Centralia, w. d.
Connor, of the village of Auburndale,
and Fred Schultz, of the town of Au-
burndale, L. A. Arnold, of this city, j.
c.. Davis, of Richfield, and d. McKer-
cher, of Rock, were the only supervis-
ors consulted in this city by Mr.. Nash,
and none of them proposed the sum
named, $l4, 900. The nearest to prop
osition that was made was a suggestion
that iifJy per cent. of the cost of a new
bridge ought to satisfy the Grand Rap
ids and Centralia people.
This suggestion, (Which was not made
by any member of the County Board, J
Mr. Nash said he would lay before his
people as a sentiment expressed here.
Three of the members from this city,
Mr.. Thomas, Mr.. Renne, Mr.. Pankow
and j. c. Davis were not in the confer
ence, or even spoken to on the subject,
although all were in the city, and three
of them, Mr.. Renne, Mr. Thomas and
Mr.. Davis seen by Mr.. Nash. Why Mr..
Nash should report as above, if report
he did, is beyond our comprehension,
unless it be for the purpose of influence
ing members in the matter. MiSrepre-
sentations will not tend to conciliate
matters, but on the contrary will tend
to destroy confidence in the good faith
professed by the Grand Rapids and
Centralia people. The County board
have done their duty, and the matter is
now in the hands of the people.
1t has been our opinion since the last
meeting of the county board that this
bridge matter ought to be settled by the
Supreme Court. If the two cities are
beaten in this fight they are well able
to bridge the Wisconsin river in prop
er manner. If the rebuilding belongs
to the County of Wood, why let them
rebuild and maintain it inst as they
have in time past. We are now well
provided with two ferry lines and can
wait until this question is finally settled.
May right and justice prevail and we
can take care of the consequences.

Edwards Little Dam,

Why the Editors of the Enterprise
persist in misrepresenting the facts a S
they did in the Pulp mill dam and again
in their last issue about Edwards little
dam, is question that is hard to solve.
In their last issue they stated that Mr..
John Parrish blew out hole fifteen
feet wide IN Edwards LITTLE dam with
dynamite Thursday evening last. They
said the Company's boom was also
opened. The impression conveyed was
that they blew the dam out at night and
opened the whole boom-possibly a
mile of it-more or less.
Now the facts about this whole matter
is as follows, as we cleaned them from
Mr.. John Parrish: Thursday afternoon
at o'clock about ten feet of the dam
was blown out. Friday morning a
rapids piece of lumber was lowered to
the dam and fastened by cable to a
small island above so that they might
work on this lumber to remove enough
dam to make an opening large enough
another piece probably ten feet
more and at the same time the dyna-
mite broke loose the front crib and it
passed through the opening, also the
balance of the rapids piece. These
were fastened below. Friday noon they
opened about so feet of the upper end of
the boom so as to let the lumber through.
This lasted about six hours when the
boom was closed. This same (Friday)
evening Louis Yanah run their trial
piece of lumber and it passed through
the opening in the dam with out loosen
ing wedge Messrs. Chase and JOS.
Whitney witnessed the running.
Saturday morning they run the balance
of the two fleets Of A pieces without
damage. Now these are the facts as
they occurred.
The reason for blowing this twenty
feet of dam out, was because it was
dangerous to life as well as lumber.

Steam Yacnt in Order.
notion the council adjourned.
F. w. BURT, City Clerk

The first whistle of the steam yacht
was sounded Monday afternoon at
precisely half past o'clock June the 4th
1888. 1t was the occasion of considera-
BILE merriment. A trial trip was made
with the engineer and stock holders on
board to examine the craft and discuss
her beauty and good qualities. The
result of her first trip is satisfactory to
those who own the craft, and stock that
has been below par for two or three
weeks past is now selling at premium.
The little craft attracted considerable
attention from her beauty and continual
blowing off steam through her whistle
until large crowd of people had
gathered on the banks of the river to
look her over. A great many laughable
comments were made to irritate those
who held stock. We over heard one
person remark that the new iron bridge
would have to have one section draw
SO that the steamer might go up and
down the river at will.
1t is the intention of the young men
