1t affords THE TRIBUNE no lit
tie pleasure to note the unani-
nifty with which our people are
taking hold of the matter of
bridging Des Lacs Lake on the
town line five miles east OF Bow
bells. A preliminary survey has
Just been made, showing the
greatest depth of water at the
crossing to be only four feet and
the distance from high water
mark on the east shore to that
on the west shore to be 80 rods,
or just one-fourth Of a mile. Now
that the matter has been taken
up in earnest, it can be safely
predicted that work on a good
crossing at the point designated
will be inaugurated at an early
day and pushed to speedy COM
pletion.
