REPAIRING THE BIO BRIDGE
A Big Job at . Bad Time. Too Hot
 for Economical Work

Roadmaster Dcnney is hard at it. with force of carpenters mending the big bridge over the Main canal, a mile and a-half west of town, broken down lately by combined harvester.
 The bridge was saggcd already in the center (by an undermined pier) when the harvester drove upon it, and this caused the loLd to run toward the team, upon which the driver applied brakes and the sudden stop broke the whole structure, crashing the timbcrs above and b,low
 The harvester was able to drive off, and escape; but the public las been held up ever since. Light teams have forded, but loaded ones have had to go around by Wilsic's, l-2 miles south.
 Much hauling has been suspended altogether.
 Now, it is a bad time to mend 1t, for in the heat men cannot do as much work as in cooler weather, but the ''hold up" is in so frequcnted Il thor oughfare and inconvenIencing the public so greatly that Mir. Denney felt it should be remedied at any cost, and he is do- ing so. The heavy timbers nearly all have to be renewed, and new iron braces brought from Los Angeles.
 The bridge is over sixty feet long, and its repair will cost about t300.

Proposed New Creamery

w. E. Wilsie reports the probable esta ablishment of a creamery in his neighborhood, about five miles south west, in the near future. The country is rich dalrying one, already producing much of the cream that comes to Inn perial, and well calculated to produce much more. Increased production, Mir. Wilsie thinks, would be encouraged by a nearer market. This would cut off some of Imperia's supply; but there is plenty more to come and the Vallcy will doubtless in time furnish business for several prosperous creameries. The district is on the Main canal, and also on the line of the proposed Silsbee branch of the Southern Pacific.
