Missoula, Aug. 10.-The county COM
missioners have closed a very import
ant meeting. The reductions made on
the assessments will not amount to
much. The majority of the people, be-
ing satisfied with their assessment, did
not make complaint to the commits
sioners, while several that did failed
to move them in getting them to re-
duce theirs. The letting of the con-
tracts for the building of the two
bridges was an act that will please a
large number of people. and it will not
be more than 30 to 60 days before they
will be able to cross the rivers again
as before the high waters of last
spring. The bridge across the Missoula
river, near Bonner, will be a combina-
ton wood and iron Howe truss bridge.
1t will be 104 feet long David Ora
ham, to whom the contract was let,
will start on the work at once. The
bridge across the Bitter Root river at
Maclay's ranch will of wood and iron,
but of a different style than that which
will be built across the Missoula river.
1t will be 100 feet long, including the
span that is still there. Mr.. Peppards
was awarded the contract to build this
bridge, and he is to use the span that

Havana, March 17.-General Gomez
has decided to proceed with the plans
agreed upon for distributing the 50. 900, -.
600 to the Cuban troops disbanding, as
though the military assembly did not

dissolved the assembly, his action
would be approved. The cabled reply
authorized him to Dissolve that body,

necessary. He hopes the assembly
will soon cease of its own accord to
hold its sessions, but should sessions
