The Forks Bridge

County Commissioners George H.
Clarke and Alonzo Smith of Cornville.
went to The Forks, Thursday, to inspect
the work on the bridge at that place An
appropriation for this bridge was made
twenty years ago for a sum of about
$1,000. When it was built the inten-
ton was to put pier in the river, but
the log driving company rather than
have pier there to obstruct the logs,
gave $500, "A sum sufficient to strengthen
the bridge enough to dispense with a
pier. This left l3S feet between the
abutments. During all these years
the bridge has stood for the hauling of
the Moose river traffic. The commits
sioners have caused trusses or arches
to be put across so that now it is pro-
nounced stronger than ever. The esti-
mated cost OF these repairs is $500
The work was under the supervision of
II. d. Watson of Arson After the re-
pairs were completed Mr.. Watson had Il
heavy pair of horses we'll loaded, trot
across it as "A test. but with all this inn
mensc strain the bridge never shook in

The bill to regulate immigration has
passed all the critical stages in both
branches of Congress including two
committees of conference and is expected
to become law The bill as amended,
admits illiterate wives and children of
male immigrants not themselves litter
ate-thus preventing the separation of
families. The bill admits any immi-
grant who can read and write any
language. 1t is predicted the bill will
encourage the better immigration and
keep out loafer-recruits who go into the
slums of large cities.
