IT is injurious to q community that
exaggerated reports should be spread
abroad in regard to the damage done
by such storms as we had last Sunday.
For instance the Bismarck Tribune
had the following in its issue of Tues
day:
Railroad Commissioner Undcrhill
came in from Dickinson OH the even-
ing train and reports Il terrific storm
i'll the Green river valley. 1t extend
ed about twenty-five miles and swept
all the crops i'll its path.
One would suppose from reading
this that the crops were destroyed
for Il distance of twenty-five miles,
but such is not the case and the facts
are that the losses were confined to Il
small area and but few individuals
were losers. We can hardly believe
chat MI. Underhill made such Il
sweeping statement; the probability
is that the reporter swelled the story
to satisfy the appetite Of his readers
for the sensational.

TIE question of II bridge across
Green river, at some point north of
Dickinson, is being agitated and is
one that should receive prompt atten-
ton. There are many settlers north
of the river who are delayed and lose
much valuable time whenever the
water rises in that stream and il has
already happened several times this
season that the floods have made it
impossible for several days ut a time.
There is no stream in the county that
has greater need of being bridged OF
over which Il greater volume of trav-
ell and traffic would pour if Il bridge
should be built, than over this. The
proper way to proceed to secure Il
bridge is for u majority of the free
holders living within u radius of
three miles of the proposed location
to petition the board Of county COM
missioners for a bridge at a specified
lOCdUlOl. WllCll lllC COSU vi Ottlu DllllSC
will exceed the sum of one hundred
dollars. 1t shall then be the duty of
the board of county commissioners
to view and investigate the necessity
of said proposed bridge and if the
board approves it's location and build.
ing, it shall advertise the plans and
specifications of the proposed bridge.
asking for scaled bids for the build
ing Of said bridge. Let those inter
ested in the Green river bridge pro
coed in the manner indicated above
and we believe that in a short time
they will be enabled to cross tho
raging Green whether the river is
up OF not.
