old farm bridge now used, and because OF
its enjoying the right 10 get gravel from

opponents asserted that there was no pub

private interests only, that II would have
TO be built entirely upon private lands,
there being no highway crossing tue
stream at that point and the approaches
being owned by private individuals, that
IL there was a contract between the town
and the former land owners that contract

FROM THE PHILIPPINES.
Letter from T. N. Bats to His Father,
Mr. J. T. Bats.
Los BANos. Jan. 9. 1900.

Los BANos, Jan. 8, 1900.
DEAR FATHER.-I received two letters
from you yesterday AID was very glad to
hear from home. When the letters ar
rived, | was in the trenches eating "hard
tack and salmon.
We we're ordered from Tagging on
Christmas night; 50 the holiday season
was spent by us on the water. We ce =
tainly enjoyed ourselves, despite our
close quarters-for there was hardly
room to stand, and no chance to sleep.
Our whole regiment is now at Colombo
and Los Banos. 1t is claimed that Los
Banos is the healthiest place on the is
land We have six hot springs that are
said to excel Hot Springs, Arkansas.
You can cook an egg, in two minutes in
the water, and rice can be cooked III
fifteen minutes, by placing the kettle,
containing the rice, in the spring.
These springs lie in the valley between
two large mountains. Further up the
mountains, cod water as GEAR as crystal
may be found We dare not go for the
cold water without being armed, for it
is outside of our lines and the Rebs are
all around us.
We are billed to take San Pueblo and
Santa Cruise next.
Our trunks are stored at Manila, so
some of us may never see their contents
again. We get along very well with
our blanket roll and our change of
clothing. No, am not homesick-
| like army life, and [ think | would
like the country fine, if there were not
SO few Americans. However, there is
no place like home.
Guess we will not be here eighteen
months, from the way things look now
This dry season will wind the Philip
pines Ii tie ball of yarn" and Aggie will
know who came after him. lie isn't
fooIing with the Spaniards now.
There is good opening for dress
maker here, for the Philippine womer
are trying to dress like the American
women at the hospital at Manila

Christmas and happy New Year, | am
