We are reminded of the reopen
ing of navigation on Lake Red wOod
by the following nautical item in
the St Peter Herald: Till Tibbitts,
a well-known navigator from Red
wood Falls, has communicated with
the mayor of St. Peter relative to
the opening of the pontoon bridge.
He says that fleet of three ar
mored cruisers-one tenth tonnage
drawing at least one and one half
feet of water. will pass this port of
entry as soon as the ice goes out
and prefers that the pontoon bridge
be opened in the center instead of
near the banks. An opening of ten
feet is large enough to admit the
passage Of these river grayhounds.
| Mr.. Mayor referred the communica-
ton of Sir Francis Drake Tibbitts
to the COUNSEL. 1t is tough that any
owner of skiff should compel the
council to open draw or pontoon
bridge.
