AT kOYALTON.
An Interesting Program at
it's Celebration
Monday.

Koyalton generally gives good
celebration on the Fourth OF: July,
and the program arranged for Mon
day was interesting throughout.
The bicycle races were the princt-
pal events there. but there we've
other tirst-class amusements ON the
program. and there was large
crowd In attendance including quite
q large number from Little Falls,
who went down to take part In or
witness the bicycle races.
The races were very interesting
and some were won by Little Falls
riders.
The first race was One-mile Tor
novices. 1t was won by Peter Freis-
enger. of Little Falls. His prize
was a wooden sweater.
The second event was two-mile
race for country riders. 1t was won
by Harry Burt, who lives near
Poyalton.
The third event was one-mile
open race. Some great speed was
show in this race, and the first prize
was captured by Victor Sawdy, of
Royalton, with Stephen Kirby. OF
Little Fails. second. Kirby was not
in condition to race, but for a short
distance led the field, setting terri
BILE pace. Through a lack Of training
he was unable to keep up the pace
and was beaten out by Sawdy.
The fourth race was for the Morri-
son county championship, three
miles, and was won by SAVOY, as
was also the sixth and last race, OF
five miles.
The most interesting race OF the
meeting was the half-mile race be-
tween Chas. GuernOn, OF this city
and Sawdy. It was q drive from
start to finish, and was won hy
Guernon. The time 1:13 was ve'y
good considering the track. Guer'
mons prize was a fine split bamboo
fishing pole and reel.
Sawdy, the Royalton man, is q
good rider and his work was sur
prise to many. Jake Thraemer. the
ex-champion, was considered an easy
winner by some, but did not get
better than third place in any race
he was in.
Royalt.n boys are confident that
Sawdy "a a whirlwind, and claim
they will match him against any
Little Falls rider for any distance
This may result in half-mile match
for him with Guernon and mile
match with Kirby.

The very high water that has WIS.,
tied nearly every part OF M orrison
county for the past two years has
caused a great deal OF expense to the
county in repairing roads and bridges.
Last year it took nearly all
the available money In the road and
bridge fund to repair the damage
done to county highways by the
spring floods. 20 that very little
money was left for the opening OF
new, roads and buildiag VI new
bridges. About the same condt-
ton will confront the board OF
county commissioners this year.
There will probably be demands on
the board for nearly all the money
they have to make repairs that are
needed to place the county roads
In as good condition for travel as
as they were even q week ago. 1t
would be economy for the people OF
the county to make large expendt-
lures VI lIJAOF Ill SCCSA"5 wv '~
stantial bridges built on the larger
streams. The annual cost OF re-
pairs on some of the present "chenp'
bridges is more than the interest
would be on the cost Of bridges
practically permanent, and tile
people would have the addition
al advantage Of the use OF bridges
at all seasons of the year. The road
and bridge fund is not large enough to
pay for that class OF improvements.
and for the reasons given u bove'
there is no prospect that 1t will be
from the ordinary tax levy for the
road and bridge purposes. Anoka
county is about to vote on propO-
sitiun to issue several thousand dol
lars in bonds to pay for some
substantial bridges in the county.
1t will be interesting to learn how
the farmers Of that county look ut Il
plan to issue county bonds to pro-
vide permanent road improvements.

a A BAD WASHOUT.
Northern Pacific Track Dam
4# aged Between Watab and

The heavy dUwnpOur ol rain
Tuesday afternoon almost flooded
the whole country southeast OF here,
and it resulted in considerable dam
age to the Northern Pacific railroad
tracks between Watab and Sank
Rapids. About two miles this side OF
Sank Rapids the railroad crosses Il
deep ravinc, which is usually dry.
At present it is almost bank full Of
water, which IL running with a very
swift current from the swamps east
of the track to the Mississippi. A
wooden trestle is built across this
ravine and the water is said to have
raist Il 80 high that both ends of the
culvert were washed away, making
1t impossible for trains to cross.
Passenger trains Nos. | and 3, due
here at SIS and 1897, respectively
last night, were compelled to walt
until the track was temporarily re-
paired and did not reach this place
until II O'Clock today. over twelve
hours late.
Roadmaster Downing was In the
city today and said there were
several washouts between Watab
and Sank Rapids, and that almost
the entire country east OF the track
was flooded. He said that the
track y as now safe for trains to
cross and no further delays are ex-
pected from that piece Of road. The
Northern Pacific pile driver anc
crew went to Watab today to make
repairs on the damaged sections
OF the track. No other serious wash
outs have been reported. 1t was
stated this morning that piece OF
track just west Of the city had been
washed away, but this was not true.
The "a ter reached the rails just west
of the bridge, but there was no
washout and the track was perfectly

Damage.
TERRIFIC HAILST0RM MONDAY

The recent heavy rains have
changed every little stream In this

considerable damage has been done
to bridges and dana. and unless II

siderable more damage done. Platte
river Is said to be higher now than

the bridges and dams ON that stream
are threatened with destruction.
The Gravelville dam ia still intact.
but it Ia thought that unless the wa
ter recedes it will suffer damage.
The bridge ON the Rich Prairie road
is not considered safe, and the bridge
on the road to Rhodes farm is in a
worse condition, and cannot tie
crossed. Water is running four feet
deep, it is said, around the east end
oi the bridge.
The Royalton dam and bridge are
In q preca rious condition and the
citizens are doing everything posi-
sible to save both. A crew Of men
are at work at the dam and the
bridge has BEEN chained down to
keep it from washing away.
On Skunk brook the damage is
said to be worse. Nearly all the
bridges ON that stream are said
to have gone out. Besides the DAM
age to the bridges the rain has
drowned out crops and hay in many
localities.
