Approach Washed Out.

The high water and ice gorges In
the Weiser river have been playing
havoc with bridges across the stream.
The wagon bridge at Midvale, one of
the most substantial structures in
the county, is left standing in mid
stream. A large gorge formed q
short distance above the bridge Tues
day, which caused the water to leave
the channel of the stream and flow
over the valley. At .one time the
stream was said to be nearly a mile
wide. The water ran around on the
east side of the bridge and washed
out the approach for distance o.
60 feet, checking travel over it unit
it can be repaired. The bridge it
self is intact, as the water and ics
ran around it.

Over $4,000 Due the City.

City officials have been making a
quiet investigation, and have discov-
cred that the county is indebted to
the city in an amount exceeding
$4,000, due from the road tax.
The law provides that one-fourth
of the money collected from road
tax should be expended in the DIS
trict in which it is collected, and in
the case of incorporated cities and
villages which are separate road dis
tricts, the monev should be given to
them on demand. The city has not
received any money from the county
for four years, nor has any OF it been
expended on the roads.
During the past four years Weiser
has paid road taxes to the county
to the amount of over $17, 900, and
has never received any benefit what
ever. The city is going to demand
it's proportion of this money.

coming out of the camp, there will
be more snow slide tragedies to
report. About four feet of new
snow had fallen at the time he left
the camp. The bottom snow was
hard and crusted, and the new snow
falling on top of It, makes II
extremely susceptible to slides.
