News From the PiueIi.

A letter received from Chippewa Falls
gives good account of the condition of
things in the pineries as they existed on
Friday last. The letter is dated at Chip
pewa Falls. and the writer says that
reliable reports show that the late snow
storm, while of great benefits in some
parts of this region AMI which deposited
several inches in the Wisconsin. Wolf
and Black river districts, and seemed to
be sweeping over toward the Minnesota
line, really played out before the west
ern half OF the Chippewa district had
anywhere near the desired amount of
snow. Even the most favored section of
the Chippewa district between the Wis
consin Central and the west branch of
the Chippe Wa, only had about six or seven
inches, and this soon became very mushy
under the influence of warmer tempera
ture. Altogether it looks as though the
relief to the loggers afforded by the late
snow storm may only prove temporary.
there has been good hauling for a week
on the Flambesu and its branches on the
main Chippewa. on the east branch Of the
Chippewa and on the Jump river, and an
opportunity to accomplish something be-
sides cutting and skidding has been
eagerly seized. On the Eau Claire and
its branches work is progressing well. As
nearly as can he ascertained, there is no
snow worth mentioning west of the branch
of the Chippewa. The Ashland and st.
Croix districts report desrth of snow.
and little is being accomplished on the
Red Cedar's chief tributaries. The steam
log hauler is coming into style rapidly,
end twelve of these unique road locomo-
tives are in use in this section this winter,
Provided with traction wheels, the steam
log hauler will drag seven or eight sleigh
loads of logs four to six miles an hour,
and can be run ten miles an hour, coming
back from the river bank with the empty
sleds"

to be an extraordinarily good entertain>

for instance, is what the Omaha RepvbLi-
can says:
Mr.. Joseph Murphy has played the

and he will probably have to play it a
great many times more before he shall
wear out his welcome. His appearance
at Boyi's opera house this evening is
certain to be greeted by a large house
The play is full Of the keenest repartee,
and. as most Of the readers know, it has
some telling situations. and Mr.. Murphy,
while he shines in comedy, does ample
justice 10 the pathetic scenes, and like
wise sings several old songs to tuneful,
tender voice,

BOOMING THE BRIDGE.

Muscatine.sparing No Effort TO Get
Trade.From the Lower End OF Ruck
Island County---The Means Agi-
tinted.
The Muscatine papers continue to urge
the projects looking to the connecting of
that city by free wagon bridge with
the lower end of Rock Island county
The Ne,os says, a bridge such as is desired
need not cost as much as the new Du.
buque high bridge-$140. 600 Says the
Netos:
A large part OF the outlay here would
be expended in stone piers and in build
ing trestle work and approaches on the
Illinois side. Cannot large part of this
special cost be obyiated by giving a slope
10 the Illinois side of the bridge that
would greatly reduce the outlay for piers
and do away with the necessity of a
trestle approach on that slider The chan
mel OF the river runs close TO the east
bluff OF the city and the approach at this
point would coincdently necessitate a
high bridge on this side, where the
draw would be. But after the channel
was passed. why could not the bridge be-
gin gradual slope to the Illinois shore
with an elevation at the shore line ac-
commodated 10 causeway connecting
with the present ferry road? This would
cause an immense saving in the cost of
piers and reduce the expense on the
other side TO an insignificant outlay.
1t is question whether such bridge
would be approved by the Washington
authorities, but it is not clear what OBJ
lection could be made. The bridge at
the extreme Illinois end would be high
enough for RATS and small cabin crafts
to pass under. while the river
packets could only make their transit
through the draw whatever might be the
height of the bridge elsewhere. We be-
lieve such bridge could be built for
800 900 and that it is within the prsc-
ticable reach of Muscatine. 1t is a plan
that will probably engage discussion at
the citizens meeting Wednesday even.
ing.
But the primary action of citizens
should be to invite the engineer who con-
structed the high bridge At Dubuque to
come 10 Muscatine. and figure the cost of
the various plans submitted to him and
present his own ideas of the most feasible
structure for this point
