The train on this branch was on time
tonight for the first time since the pas
senger was put on, but it being so was
because the main line train was so far
behind that the Bitter Root train could
not wait for it.
There was no Standard in town to-
night because Of the hitch on the main
line, and the people of this town seem
| lost without their Hamilton column in
! that paper.
Parties living near the crossing of
the Bitter Root river at Stranges the
| bridge nearly opposite Victor state that
! the crossing there has been fairly good
| all the time Of this year. OF course the
road leading up to the bridge and on
the fiat has been under nearly a foot
of water, but the bridge has been all
right and no fears of any trouble are
| felt.
The cold weather continues and the
water in the river has gone away down
again. While this cool term is going
on, the danger from floods is abating,
and perhaps the bridge builders will
not have much to do after all.
